Abstract: A portable electronic device includes first and second parts, each having a front face, a back face, two sides, and two ends. A movable attachment attaches said first and second parts to each other with the front face of the second part against the back face of said first part. It allows a relative sliding movement between said first and second parts to a position in which an exposable portion of the front face of the second part along one of said sides of the second part becomes visible from beneath the corresponding side of the first part. A camera in said second part is located in a center region of said exposable portion between the two ends of the second part, with its viewing direction directed out of said front face of the second part.

Abstract: Particular embodiments generally relate to providing risk management. In one embodiment, a first risk is linked to an account group assertion in a data structure. A second risk is linked to a control objective in the data structure. Access to the first risk is granted through the account group's assertion. Access to the second risk is granted through the control objective. Risk management is then performed using the accessed first risk and second risk.

Abstract: Systems and methods for defining and executing platform and language independent audit templates are disclosed. Each audit template can include a number of audit task templates. The audit task templates include general instructions for performing an audit task. Each audit task template can be instantiated as an audit task in an associated audit operation that includes organization or process specific information. Each audit task template and audit task can be linked with one or more business rules. Such business rules include translation logic for translating requirements of each audit task into a format expected by specific program, located in a central management system, invoked to operate on the required target business data. The business rules can also include translation data for interpreting the results returned from such programs. The audits operation or business rules can also include deficiency criteria, or alert conditions for initiating audit issues and remediation workflows.

Abstract: A computer system is described which facilitates the collaboration of participants involved in regulation/policy compliance. The system comprises two systems: a central regulation compliance system; and a collaboration forum. The central regulation compliance system is integrated with the collaboration forum to facilitate the assessment/survey process in order to attend to issues relating to actual or potential occurrences of non-compliance with regulatory/policy requirements.

Abstract: Survey processing for compliance assessment includes providing the survey to a mobile device. A survey application executing on the mobile device performs survey processing to obtain responses to survey questions comprising the survey. The survey application provides context-sensitive help information. The survey application provides for contacting individuals in a compliance management organization of a business enterprise for which compliance to regulations and policies by the business is required.

Abstract: A method is provided for separating diagnostic content of x-ray images from non-diagnostic content in order to achieve an optimum image reproduction and windowing. In particular, a method is provided for displaying a plurality of radiological density images in a single viewing window by overlaying gray scale images of each radiological density image in a single display window.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for magnetic recording are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first portion of a first magnetic medium having a first cross-sectional area, and a second portion of a second magnetic medium having a second cross-sectional area. The first and second portions are joined by way of a junction that allows for at least some ferromagnetic coupling therebetween. Additionally, the first and second cross-sectional areas are of differing extent in a first dimension so that a first ledge portion of one of the first and second portions extends past a first edge of the other of the first and second portions.

Abstract: A network equipment for a communication between a network and a computer is provided. The network equipment includes a network adapter for transmitting a network signal from Internet via a conducting line and a wireless transmitting device for wirelessly transmitting the network signal to a plurality of computers via the conducting line, wherein the network adapter includes an adapter body, a receptacle portion disposed on the adapter body, and a plug to be inserted into a socket to transfer the network signal to the conducting line. The wireless transmitting device includes a device body and a lamp base connector connected with the device body, detachably and electrically connected with a bulb socket and wirelessly transmitting the network signal to the plurality of computers via the conducting line.

Abstract: A method performed by a processor allows an individual to update or maintain a database including a core and an extension. The core contains core tables including general data and the extension contains extension tables including specific data. The core tables and the extension tables have the same primary keys and the specific data are an extension of the general data. The method includes receiving an input from the individual for modifying the database, modifying the core using the received input, and automatically modifying the extension to reflect the modifying of the core.
