Abstract: The present invention is a cable, which carries signal, having an integrated coiling and reinforcing wrapper. The cable has a segment near an end that is stiffer than the cable generally. This segment can be bent by hand, and once bent, will retain its bent shape. If the flexible part of the cable is wrapped into a coil, or otherwise gathered together, then the stiffer portion can be bent around the gathered portion to secure it in its gathered form.

An open loop control is used for controlling the DC output power in the case that a voltage of an AC input power is in a first voltage range. A closed loop control is used for controlling the DC output power in the case that the voltage of the AC input power is in a second voltage range.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a migration tool that rapidly transfers metadata between a source content archive and a target content archive. In one aspect, the rapid transfer is facilitated by customizable multithreading that includes the ability to suspend and/or resume migration. In a further aspect, migration between the source content archive and the target content archive is facilitated by allowing at least metadata associated with content stored in the source archive to be transferred between the systems. An external data storage component is provided that allows applications to access the target system using the migrated metadata while also providing access to associated content stored in other locations. Therefore, the actual content in the original source archive may be eventually migrated to the target system while applications are provided seamless access.
