Abstract: Systems and methods for indexing, associating or compositing data records and hierarchies from various information sources are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention may provide the ability to link data records and thus to link data records to known hierarchies of data records. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention may provide the capability to associate data records in varying information sources and to thereby associate incoming data record with existing data records or existing data hierarchies such that an incoming data record may not only be associated with an existing data record comprising information about the same entity but may additionally be associated with other members of the data hierarchy in the same manner as the existing data record.

Abstract: An air stream distribution apparatus directs portions of an air stream, at substantially ambient temperatures, to serially arranged circuit board components of a circuit board assembly. The air stream distribution apparatus splits an incoming air stream into air stream portions and directs each air stream portion toward each serially arranged circuit board component. Such direction of the portion of the air stream, by the air stream distribution apparatus, minimizes overheating and failure of the circuit board components. Furthermore, the air stream distribution apparatus minimizes a decrease in the pressure of the air stream as the air stream travels from the air stream source. The air stream distribution apparatus, therefore, ensures that circuit board components located at relatively large distances from the air stream source receive air from the air stream to minimize overheating and potential failure.
