The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for presenting different types of electronic messages at a common interface. Electronic message items are stored in an item database along with other types of items, such as, for example, contact items, folder items, document items, etc. Electronic message items have some common defined data fields and possibly other differently defined data fields that represent protocol and / or application specific properties. Computer systems can query the item database for message related data (e.g., from commonly defined data fields) and display links to message related data at a common messaging interface. Links to different types of electronic messages (as represented by protocol and / or application specific properties) may be displayed simultaneously at the common messaging interface.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with logically partitioned networking devices are described herein. One example method includes receiving a message from a common interface. The message comprises a logical partition header (LPH) and a network segmentation header (NSH). The LPH may be associated with a logical partition of a networking device. The NSH is associated with a grouping (e.g., segmentation) of networking devices. The example method may also include forwarding the message to the grouping of networking devices based, at least in part, on the NSH and a virtual route forwarding (VRF) table. Forwarding the message to the logical partition of the networking device based, at least in part, on the LPH.

A virus scanning system which scans a mobile device / mobile device for files containing viruses even if the files are not executable on the mobile device. Corrective actions such as removing the files can be performed once the viruses are detected. As a result, viruses which are not executable (as being designed for other mobile device types) can also be detected and removed from mobile devices. According to another aspect, a common interface is provided when a virus scanning program requests data from mobile devices, and the computer is provided with different remote application programming interfaces suited to retrieve the specified data from the corresponding mobile devices. As a result, the computer can be extended to integrate scanning of new device types easily. According to one more aspect, a scanning program retrieves only data portions required for continuing the scan operation. According to yet another aspect, the program modules and virus definitions for scanning are received from a server on a network.

A system and method time orders events that occur in various portions of the system (10) where different time domains (12, 22, 32) exist. Timestamping circuitry (e.g. 40) is provided in each of a plurality of functional circuits or modules (14, 24, 34). The timestamping circuitry provides a message that indicates a point in time when a predetermined event occurs. An interface module (70) is coupled to each of the plurality of functional circuits (14, 24, 34). The interface module (70) provides control information to the plurality of functional circuits (14, 24, 34) to indicate at least one operating condition that triggers the predetermined event, and to optionally specify a message format. The interface module (70) provides a timestamping message from one, several or all time domains at a common interface port (90).

A system and methods for integrating laboratory instrumentation and applications to provide a unified control and coordination architecture under a common interface. The system may be adapted to a variety of different hardware and software components wherein the individual functionalities and input / output data types for each component are recognized and incorporated into a centralized control and monitoring system.
