  • Publication number: 20060031495
    Abstract: A plurality of electronic documents can be configured such that one or more of the electronic documents are subject to a user-designated restriction. The plurality of electronic documents can then be selected, in response to a user input, as an attachment to an electronic message. Thereafter, the plurality of electronic documents can be automatically and electronically transmitted as an attachment to the electronic message without one or more of the electronic documents that were subject to the user user-designated restriction. In this manner a user can select an entire file and then select electronic mail features in which document permissions are established such that electronic documents which should not be accessible cannot be retrieved, but electronic mail operations can proceed in sending those documents among the group or plurality of electronic documents, which are designed as accessible.

  • Publication number: 20050186810
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system including a circuit board and several pluggable modules coupled to the circuit board. The several pluggable modules are insertable through side-by-side slots in an enclosure in which the circuit board resides. A first pluggable module is coupled to the circuit board via a first connector, while a second pluggable module is coupled to the circuit board via a second connector such that the second pluggable module is laterally offset from the first pluggable module. The first and second connectors are right angle connectors, and the second right angle connector is inverted relative to the first right angle connector. The first and second pluggable modules are I/O modules for transporting high speed differential signals, and wherein the first pluggable module includes several XFP connectors, and wherein the second pluggable module includes several SFP connectors. The second pluggable module includes several SFP connectors arranged on both sides of the pluggable module.

  • Publication number: 20050071759
    Abstract: An imaging system comprises a client device with a display unit, a server controller, stored document information, document modification methods, an imaging device, and documents to be imaged. A user of the client device requests a particular stored document to be displayed on the display unit. The server receives the client request and creates a first user interface for the user to view the stored document and to either accept or request modification to the displayed document. If the user requests modification to the displayed document, the server creates a second user interface for the user to communicate to the imaging system a desired modification to be made in the displayed document. The server determines the best means to address the request, modifies the document, and stores the document information for subsequent use.
