Abstract: Automated computer backup to a DVD. A DVD backup disc contains a backup program that executes upon insertion of the DVD in a computer. The DVD is preconfigured with a computer program having computer executable instructions for determining data to be stored. The DVD also contains instructions for transferring the data to the back-up disc; and instructions for identifying the data transferred to the backup disc. A method of archiving data in a computer to a high-density optical backup disc is therefore provided by reading an executable command from a back-up disc, determining data to store to the back-up disc responsive to the command, transferring the data to the backup disc, and identifying the data transferred to the backup disc.

Abstract: A contact member (70) formed with a flat metal structure (80) and an integrated elastomeric body (90). The contact member (70) can be used to ground a printed circuit board (PCB) (50) with a surrounding housing (60). The housing (60) loads the contact member (70) in a direction perpendicular to the face of the PCB (50). The elastomeric body (90) supports the flat metal structure during repeated cycles of loading and unloading of the contact member (70). The elastic resiliency of the elastomeric body (90) can help to reduce the effects of plastic deformation of the contact member, resulting in more reliable electrical connections a source outside of the PCB. And the elastomeric body does not require adhesive or separate fixing devices to hold it in place. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A protective cover (13) for a taking lens is provided in the front of
a lens-fitted photo film unit. The protective cover cooperates with a shutter
locking mechanism which locks a shutter button (4) when the protective
cover is in a closed position in front of the taking lens. The protective cover
also cooperates with a flash prevention mechanism which turns off a flash
charge switch off when the protective cover moves in the closed position,
prevents the flash charge switch from being moved to its ON position so long
as the protective cover is in the closed position, and allows the flash charge
switch to be moved to the ON position when the protective cover is moved
away from the taking lens. The protective cover is slidable in a horizontal
direction on a front surface portion of the film unit, and the front surface
portion is straight in the horizontal direction. The protective cover has a
vertical length that does not interfere with a bottom lid (12) that is provided
for removal of an exposed photo filmstrip. A first label is stuck on a front
surface of the protective cover, and a second label is wrapped around the film
unit excluding the front surface portion the protective cover slide thereon, to
