Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and systems for direct-to-cloud backup with local volume failover. According to an exemplary embodiment, first and second logical volumes are designated on a protected computing device. The first and second logical volumes may be paired to a cloud storage facility. In response to a received signal, it may be determined if the protected computing device has a communication connection to the cloud storage facility. If the protected computing device does have a communication connection to the cloud storage facility, a first computing device backup of the first logical volume may be sent to the cloud storage facility. If the protected computing device does not have a communication connection to the cloud storage facility, a second computing device backup of the first logical volume may be performed and stored on the second logical volume of the protected computing device.

Abstract: A container has an opening that can be closed by a lid and latching elements for releasably locking the lid. The latching elements are arranged in a region of overlap of the container wall and the lid side wall. The latching elements are separately inserted latching elements received in latching-element receptacles, and include latching hooks. The latching hooks can be brought into engagement with inversely corresponding latching-hook receptacles when the container opening is closed by the lid.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of transmitting a communication signal between a radio base station and a radiation element. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an input signal. Then extracting a data signal from the input signal, the data signal includes values representing operating parameters of devices at the radiation element. And producing a status signal for each device that simulates a feedback signal for the device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for securing and providing evidence based evaluations of medical treatments are disclosed herein. A method according to one embodiment includes: providing guidelines for selecting evidence about the treatments; selecting a research expert knowledgeable about evidence relating to the treatments; having the research expert select evidence relating to the treatments; selecting a group of treatment experts knowledgeable about the treatments; having the treatment experts evaluate the treatments based on the evidence relating to the treatments; and placing the evaluations in a database accessible by users.

Abstract: A collapsible container that may be configured in a collapsed condition or an erected condition, including a base (102), a pair of side walls (104) and a pair of side walls (106) that are pivotally attached to the base. The walls (104,106) are arranged to lie substantially parallel with the base (102) when collapsed and to stand substantially perpendicular to the base when erected. The free edges of the erected walls define an open mouth. A pair of stacking elements (116) are located adjacent to the free edges of the end walls (106) for supporting the base of another container stacked on the first container. The end walls (106) lie adjacent the base (102) and side walls (104) overlie the end walls when collapsed.
