Abstract: A method for managing repository items is provided for a system having a multiple schema repository that uses a database for storing data for the repository items and management data. The database is configured to manage multiple schemas. The management data for the repository includes information for defining and locating the repository items. The multiple schemas include classification schemas for supporting different types of repository items and a management schema for the management data. The method includes receiving a file including a repository item and data associated with the repository item, wherein the associated data includes categorizing information for the repository item. The method also includes determining whether the database already includes the repository item. The method further includes, if the repository item is not already in the database, creating a management record for the repository item, and storing the file in a storage area associated with the database.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for encouraging or ensuring proper posture of a golfer during a golf swing. In certain embodiments, the device may be in the form of a brace comprising a strap that fits around the body to resist or prevent excessive bending of the spine, or “hunching over,” during the golf swing. The brace may have a single, continuous strap that winds around the body, forming a crossing pattern across the spine and passing over both shoulders, with the ends of the strap meeting in the front of the body. The ends of the strap may be suitably joined, for example by a buckle, to allow adjustment. The brace may be an integral part of a garment, which may have an outer shell and inner lining.

Abstract: A computerized system and an associated method for optimally controlling storage and transfer of computer programs between computers on a network to facilitate interactive program usage. In accordance with the method, an applications program is stored in a nonvolatile memory of a first computer as a plurality of individual and independent machine-executable code modules. In response to a request from a second computer transmitted over a network link, the first computer retrieves a selected one of the machine-executable code modules and only that selected code module from the memory and transmits the selected code module over the network link to the second computer.
