Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for transferring data from a source storage unit, wherein storage units are configured within a storage system. A data transfer operation is processed to transfer data from source storage blocks in a source storage unit to corresponding target storage blocks in a target storage unit. For each source storage block, before transferring data from one source storage block to the corresponding target storage block, indication is made that the source storage block is in a locked state. Data in the source storage block in the locked state is not accessible to a host data request, and wherein data in storage blocks that are not in the locked state is accessible to a host data request while the data transfer operation is pending.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device that includes a pair of glass plates; a connection port located on one side of the glass plates; an adhesive layer adhered the glass plates; a liquid crystal injection port located on the same side of the connection port and formed by the gap of the adhesive layer; and a seal adhesives located outside the liquid crystal injection port to keep the liquid crystal material from leaking after that the liquid crystal material filled with the space between the pair of glass plates. Because the liquid crystal injection port and the connection port are on the same side, operator can coat manually the seal adhesives over the liquid crystal injection port along the edge surfaces of the glass plates to reduce the instability and avoid the seal adhesives polluting the glass plate surfaces during manual coating operation that causes the problems of later module assembly.

Abstract: A dialog window for use in a filtering process provides filtering criteria based upon a limited number of object properties. Each property has an associated criterion input comprising an operator input and a value input which together with the associated property specify a filtering criterion. The dialog window preferably includes a limited number of properties, such as two or three properties, for simplicity and ease of use. Each property further has a selector in the form of a check box by which the user selects the operant filter criteria. The dialog window additionally includes a count button by which the user may update a count display which indicates the number of objects which will be returned using the presently entered filtering criteria.

Abstract: The invention disclosed a mounting structure for supporting data storage device via sliding and securing mechanisms, wherein sliding rails and at least one securing hole are installed to each parallel side of the data storage device. The mounting structure comprises a case, one pair of sliding slots and at least one recess. The case serves as a container for the data storage device. One pair of sliding slots, formed at internal side of the case is arranged for the sliding rails of the data storage device to slide onto. The recess, formed at external side of the case, is next to an opening formed through the case thereof. When the data storage device slides in the case, the position of the opening is in line with the position of the securing hole thereof. As a result, the data storage device is mounted to the case through the opening and the securing hole with screws.

Abstract: A thermal module (1) includes a base (30), a fin group (40), a heat pipe (50) and a connective interface. The fin group comprises a plurality of closely-spaced parallel fins (42). A first end of the heat pipe is attached to the base, and an opposite second end of the heat pipe is received in a slot defined in the fin group. The connective interface is disposed between the second end of the heat pipe and the fin group. The connective interface has high thermal conductivity, and readily connects with the heat pipe and the fin group.

Abstract: A dialog window (50) for use in a filtering process provides filtering criteria based upon a limited number of object properties (52, 54). Each property has an associated criterion input comprising an operator input (60, 62) and a value input (68, 70) which together with the associated property (52, 54) specify a filtering criterion. The dialog window (50) preferably includes a limited number of properties, such as two or three properties, for simplicity and ease of use. Each property further has a selector in the form of a check box (72, 74) by which the user selects the operant filter criteria. The dialog window (50) additionally includes a count button (84) by which the user may update a count display (86) which indicates the number of objects which will be returned using the presently entered filtering criteria.

Abstract: A heterogeneous database system is described which includes plural database systems, one of the database systems acting as an interface (i.e., system manager). The system manager performs functions which provide an application program with transparent access to the entire database system. The system manager includes a memory for storing (i) a matrix of functional capabilities of each of the plural databases, (ii) a catalog of functions that are supportable by various databases and (iii) and entry matrix for providing an interface function between a user and the system manager. A processor is present in the system manager; and is responsive to a user entry, via the entry matrix, with respect to a functional capability of one of the plural databases, to alter a matrix of functional capabilities pertaining to the database. The alteration is carried out in accordance with a corresponding functional capability entry in the catalog.
