Patent number: 8185918Abstract: A method and system for managing access to add-on data files having an add-on data file attribute, which is used by a software application. The method: monitors input/output commands of the software application to an application programming interface of a code layer to determine whether an access to a data file with the add-on data file attribute is requested by the software application; checks whether an access code for the add-on data file is present in an access code list related to the software application if at least one of the monitored input/output commands request access to the add-on data file, if the access code is not present in the access control list; retrieves the access code from an external source outside of the access control list; and provides access to the add-on data file if the access code is present.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2007Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: SONY DADC Austria AGInventors: Peter Meerwald, Robert Yates, Oliver Kubera, Thomas Augustin

Publication number: 20090215325Abstract: Stiff and soft materials each provide certain advantages when used in the manufacture of separable insulated connectors, such as elbow and T-body connectors. Utilizing a shell or an insert that includes one section made from a stiff material and one section made from a soft material can provide a separable insulated connector that capitalizes on the advantages associated with both types of materials. The stiff materials and soft materials can be placed strategically on the shell or insert of the separable insulated connector to maximize the advantages of each material. For example, the stiff material can be used to form a section of the separable insulated connector where strength and durability is most desirable, and conversely, the soft material can be used to form a section of the connector where flexibility is desirable. A relatively stiff band can be provided around a relatively soft portion of a connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: David Charles Hughes, Thomas Augustin

Publication number: 20050022375Abstract: An apparatus for improved shock and vibration isolation of a CGA integrated package which utilizes solder column grid arrays to provide electrical connection to a printed circuit board. The CGA integrated package includes a substrate and a package lid. A support frame is attached at an attachment point to the substrate or the package lid of the CGA integrated package and at a second attachment point to the printed circuit board. An isolation material, such as Styrofoam or Sorbathane is located at the attachment point of the support frame to the substrate or the package lid, or located at the second attachment point of the support frame to the circuit board such that a vibration or shock to the circuit board must travel through the isolation material at the attachment point prior to reaching the integrated circuit. A method of supporting an integrated circuit on a circuit board and improving the isolation of an integrated circuit from any vibration and shock to the circuit board is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Thomas Augustin, Christopher Malone
