摘要： A capacitive sensing system (100) can connect groups of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N) to a common node (106) to detect change in capacitance. States of a set of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N) can thus be scanned faster than approaches that scan such sensors one-by-one. Faster scanning can allow for reduced power consumption in applications that only periodically scan the set of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N).

摘要翻译： 电容感测系统（100）可以将电容式传感器组112-1至112-N连接到公共节点106以检测电容的变化。 因此，一组电容式传感器（112-1至112-N）的状态可以比逐个扫描这样的传感器的方法更快地进行扫描。 更快的扫描可以在仅周期性扫描该组电容式传感器（112-1至112 -N）的应用中降低功耗。

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed that permit the transparent bridging of a broad range of backup storage devices, such that backup software will identify an intermediate device as a one of those storage devices and will transparently send their backup data-stream thereto as part of the existing standard backup process. Upon receipt of a backup data-stream from the backup software, the methods and apparatus provide for analysis of the data elements in the data-stream, collection of management information about those data elements, and storage of the management information in an easily accessible format for subsequent review and query by users and administrators of the original data. The same backup data-stream is stored on any standard backup storage device, including the imitated backup storage device.

摘要： A deformable panel member is provided for absorbing the energy of a moving object impacting the panel member. The panel member is adapted to be connected to a rigid member and has a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls extending between and interconnecting the front and rear walls. A support member in panel member extends between and interconnects at least two of the walls. The side walls are adapted to be angled relative to the rigid member in a direction of movement of the object when the panel member is mounted to the rigid member. An impact on the panel member will tend to deform the panel member toward the rigid member in the direction of movement of the object. This deformation allows the panel member to absorb the energy of the object for decelerating and redirecting the object subsequent to impact. An energy absorbing barrier is also provided comprising a plurality of the panel members mounted at spaced intervals along the rigid member. The panel members are positioned in adjacent relation for allowing relative independent movement of the panel members upon impact. Impact of a panel member will transmit the force of the impact to adjacent panel members which are similarly deformed for successively absorbing energy and redirecting the object subsequent to impact at an angle relative to the rigid member less than the angle of impact.

摘要翻译： 提供可变形的面板构件，用于吸收冲击面板构件的运动物体的能量。 面板构件适于连接到刚性构件，并且具有前壁，后壁和在前壁和后壁之间延伸并互连的两个侧壁。 面板构件中的支撑构件在至少两个壁之间延伸并互连。 当面板构件安装到刚性构件时，侧壁适于在物体的移动方向上相对于刚性构件成角度。 面板构件的冲击将倾向于沿着物体的移动方向朝向刚性构件变形面板构件。 这种变形允许面板构件吸收物体的能量以在冲击之后减速和重新定向物体。 还提供了一种能量吸收屏障，其包括沿着刚性构件以间隔间隔安装的多个面板构件。 面板构件定位成相邻的关系，以允许面板构件在碰撞时相对独立地移动。 面板构件的冲击将将冲击力传递到相邻的面板构件，相邻的面板构件相似地变形，以连续地吸收能量，并且在冲击之后以相对于刚性构件的角度小于碰撞角度的方向使对象重新定向。

摘要： Dynamic inheritance for data in a replicated tree structured database which is dynamically inherited from parent objects is provided by only replicating original modifications, and then causing each system to propagate inherited information across it's local tree of objects. When a change to a security descriptor or a reparenting of objects is received, a breadth first tree traversal is used to find all the affected objects. An ID list is incrementally deleted as each object is updated. A security descriptor propagator queue is used to track the progress of updates, and items are taken off the list only after they are committed to the database. A gate is used to ensure that that transactions which add new objects and the security descriptor propagation transactions which write new security descriptors are mutually exclusive. A new data structure for the propagation queue comprises a table having a unique, incrementing number representing an order, an identifier of the node to begin on, a flag indicting whether the item may be trimmed a client id, an order index used to find the next element in the queue and a trim index which tracks all trimmable nodes.
