What is a conduit?
– If a not-for-profit corporation (usually a university or hospital) wants to obtain tax-exempt financing, it needs to work with a local municipal entity, which becomes the “conduit”. The Conduit and the not-for-profit corporation enter into a lease for a building, for example. The conduit “borrows” funds from the investor and assigns the lease with the NPC to the investor. The assignment is on a non-recourse basis to the conduit but by virtue of its tax-exempt status, it can obtain tax-exempt financing for the not-for-profit corporation. This structure generally requires a longer term and larger amount and the total cost of issuance fees are limited to 2%. Should the fees exceed 2%, the lessee can pay them up front or it can issue a “taxable” financing for the excess fees.
When you “HotSync” your Palm with a desktop computer (by pushing the button on the cradle, for example) the Palm HotSync software uses a number of seperate files, called Conduits, on your desktop to correctly syncronize information stored on your Palm with information stored on your desktop computer. When you first install the Palm desktop software, it includes Conduits for all of the built-in applications like Memo Pad, Date Book, and To Do List. These conduits syncronize the records stored for each of these applications with the rercords stored in “Palm Desktop” versions of these applications on your desktop computer. Our NotePad Conduit creates desktop files for the songs you have written on your Palm using the miniMusic NotePad software. The exported files are “Standard MIDI Files” which are a standard format for computer music. You should be able to open these files with any desktop music software available (this includes Apple’s QuickTime and the Windows Media Player). This way y
A Palm Conduit is software plug-in that is responsible for synchronizing data from a Palm device to a host computer. Data synchronization is the exchange and transformation of data between two applications that maintain separate data stores. Applications share the data and the synchronization process keeps each application’s copy of the data current and accurate. In addition to data synchroniztion, conduits are responsible for the installation of new Palm applications as well as backing up existing Palm databases. • What is the creator ID? A creator ID is applied by the Palm application to identify the database it used. One creator ID can only be linked to one conduit. HotSync manager will call the appropriate conduit when the synchronization is running. • Some well known conduits and their properties: * PD means Palm Desktop Description Creator ID File Name Data Directory Data File Name Address Book ( PD 4.1 or lower ) addr addrcn30.dll address address.dat Address Book ( PD 4.1.2 or a
