  • Publication number: 20070185915
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data classification to facilitate and improve data management within an enterprise are described. The disclosed systems and methods evaluate and define data management operations based on data characteristics rather than data location, among other things. Also provided are methods for generating a data structure of metadata that describes system data and storage operations. This data structure may be consulted to determine changes in system data rather than scanning the data files themselves.

  • Publication number: 20070185914
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing electronic data are disclosed. Various data management operations can be performed based on a metabase formed from metadata. Such metadata can be identified from an index of data interactions generated by a journaling module, and obtained from their associated data objects stored in one or more storage devices. In various embodiments, such processing of the index and storing of the metadata can facilitate, for example, enhanced data management operations, enhanced data identification operations, enhanced storage operations, data classification for organizing and storing the metadata, cataloging of metadata for the stored metadata, and/or user interfaces for managing data. In various embodiments, the metabase can be configured in different ways. For example, the metabase can be stored separately from the data objects so as to allow obtaining of information about the data objects without accessing the data objects or a data structure used by a file system.

  • Patent number: 6183272
    Abstract: An elastomeric contact provides an electrical contact, including a stabilizing unit with one or more conductive elements embedded into a strengthening material, whereby the stabilizing unit again is embedded into a compressible material. Further described is a mechanical assembly for contacting a plurality of electronic modules comprising a contacting arrangement with the elastomeric contact and a positioning frame for positioning the elastomeric contact, the contacting arrangement being arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of electronic modules.
