A method and apparatus for allowing for the exchange of tasks, over an instant messenger (“IM”) infrastructure, are disclosed. An IM application, running on an electronic device, may allow creation, assigning, tracking, viewing, exporting, importing and managing tasks. IM applications may include, but not be limited to, stand-alone applications, browser plug-ins, on-screen widgets and gadgets, PDA and cellular phone modules, server-sided applications rendered on a client machine, etc. Personal Information Management (“PIM”) applications may use IM infrastructures to exchange of tasks or task information. Project management applications (“PMA”) may be used to define projects, containing tasks with complex sets of rules and inter-dependencies, and leverage IM networks for disseminating these projects and tasks among users. Tasks exchanged on an IM network may be imported into PMAs and PIMs. Tasks may be exchanged in a peer-to-peer IM network, which may span multiple IM service providers. Tasks may be transported in XML data structures which may contain data pertaining to users for whom tasks are intended, the progress made on tasks, documents attached to tasks, etc. User roles and privileges may be defined within tasks structures such that some users are the assignees of a task, while other users may only view task progress and be notified of milestones as tasks are worked on. Users may create task groups and communities, allowing them to control who may assign tasks to members of the group.

A novel system, method and computer program product for accessing digital media files stored in a media storage device via a server device in communication with the media storage device. The method includes providing, via the server, a file virtualization scheme that permits that enables a server to permit multiple non-linear editing workstations and other devices to see and access the same media files (video, audio, graphics, etc.) stored in the media storage device while keeping each workstation and other devices isolated from the others (i.e., unaware that the others exist). In this manner, workstation crash and project file corruption is avoided when multiple users access each other's projects. There is additionally provided a tool for managing the digital media storage system particularly enabling media and corresponding virtual files to be automatically manipulated, e.g., deleted, removed, transferred and synchronized, in response to user requests, all the while automatically retaining the file virtualization features as described. There is additionally provided a tool for allowing multiple non-linear editing systems to safely open up and work from and collaborate on the same “Project”. The tool manages ownership and permissions over different editors' contributions to shared Projects and implements “symbolic links” to create a virtual file and folder structure that creates an “optimized view” of the Project for each editor, that keeps work organized so that it is clear which editor is editing what and that allows each editor to maintain his/her own settings for the Project.

A fastening tool with a clutch for shutting off transmission of torque, capable of self-diagnosing fastening torque of a screw or the like at low cost without using expensive means such as a torque sensor etc. A fastening tool (10) has a motor (13), a main shaft (20) engaging with a screw or the like, and a clutch (14) interposed between the motor (13) and the main shaft (20). The clutch (14) transmits torque from the motor (13) to the main shaft (20) when a load acting on the main shaft (20) is less than a predetermined value, and shuts off torque transmission from the motor (13) to the main shaft (20) when a load acting on the main shaft (20) is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. The fastening tool (10) further has a control unit (60) for controlling the motor (13). The control unit (60) monitors a current flowing to the motor (13) and determines whether fastening torque is normal or not based on a motor current when transmission of torque from the motor (13) to the main shaft (20) is shut off.
