An integrated database system comprises a plurality of database systems connected to one another through a network, each of the plurality of database systems managing its own stored data independently of the other database systems and accessing the stored data in accordance with an access request, and an integrated database unit connected to the network. The integrated database unit includes a directory database which stores a correspondence between each of the data stored in the plurality of database systems and a database system in which each of the data is stored, a directory control unit which acquires, by using the directory database, directory information corresponding to target data of the accepted access request, a database identifying unit which identifies a database system, and a database control unit which issues, on the basis of the acquired directory information, an access request to the database system having the target data of the accepted access request. The database system includes a database server unit which accesses a database in accordance with the access request issued by the integrated database unit.

The connector housingis formed with a pair of guide groovesand a pair of side walls. The guide groovessupport the both side edges of the upper body portionof the thick first cardand also the both side edges of the card bodyof the thin second cardand guide these cards as they are inserted or extracted. The side wallsdefine, below a space between the paired guide grooves, a space in which to accommodate the lower body portionof the first card. This construction ensures that, whichever of the first and second cards is inserted, the elastic displacements of the contact terminalsof a card connectorremain the same, allowing the card to be electrically connected stably.

In the prior art, a user bore a heavy burden on operating together different products having the same functions. A usercalls a job net managing functionvia GUI/CLI, and defines a job net. A job net execution controlling functioninterrupts a definition of the job net, and sequentially executes the defined jobs. The defined jobs call not real commands directly, but switcherstothat define regularized interfaces. The switchers, referring to environment variables, select adaptorsandproperly to call real commandsandcorresponding thereto.

An object integrated management system achieves flexibility for modifications of management targets, efficiency of integrated management processing, and reduction in system management, building, and maintenance costs. The object integrated management system manages real data managed by data management systems in an integrated manner, and comprises: a repository that stores virtual objects respectively created correspondingly to real data, virtual object metamodels defining the virtual objects, adapter objects having configuration information of the data management systems and a function of access processing for real data stored in the data management systems, and adapter object metamodels defining the adapter objects; a metamodel management part that manages the virtual object metamodels and adapter object metamodels within the repository; and an object management part that manages the virtual objects and adapter objects, and uses the adapter objects to access real data.

A card connector that reliably holds an inserted card with a compact mechanism to prevent the falling of the card due to unexpected external forces. The card is formed with the recess to receive the locking portion. The elastic locking piece is mounted to the eject member that slides together with the card as the card is inserted or retracted. The locking piece guide means converts the motion of the eject member in the card insertion/retraction direction into the motion of the locking portion of the elastic locking piece toward or away from the card so that the locking portion is engaged in the recess during the card insertion and, during the card ejection, is disengaged from the recess

A predetermined contact pressure required between the two metal pieces when they are come into contact with each other is produced by a pressing force of the two metal pieces acting in the direction of height or width of the connector . This arrangement prevents the inserted card from coming off and reliably and stably holds the inserted card.

Card detect switch for card connector

An electrical connector used for interconnecting one or more conductors on the same or different printed circuit boards comprising two mold members having terminal bodies with each end inserted into the mold members until they protrude from the bottom and with a bent portion between the mold members maintaining a distance greater than the distance required to insert the mold members and terminal bodies into through holes of a printed circuit board. The connector is used in conjunction with a pair of chuck members and a stop member to place the connector mold members in alignment so that the protruding terminal portions can be accurately inserted into through holes of a printed circuit board with the use of automatic robot means.
