AUTOMATED WORKPLACE FOR PERFORMING CRIMINALISTIC REVIEWS OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION CARRIERS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G06F17/30 

FIELD: criminalistics and forensic examination.

SUBSTANCE: automated workplace consists of stand for researching electronic information carriers and personal computer. Stand featured in invention consists of controllable commutation device, ensuring possible mating of electronic information carrier and personal computer, and a source of controllable voltage. Controllable commutation device has m+n inputs/outputs and is represented by a set of m·n controlled rectifying cells, forming a commutation matrix of m×n dimensions, connecting 1÷m and (m+1)÷(m+n) inputs/outputs, while m=k+1, numbers k and n corresponding to maximal values of numbers of contacts of sockets of personal computer and electronic information carrier, respectively. Controllable rectifying cell is in turn represented by device, providing controllable capability of one-direction commutation with controllable transfer coefficient.

EFFECT: no limitations on types of electronic information carriers being connected, increased quality and speed of reviews of electronic information carriers, in other words, suggested automated workplace allows highly reliable fast access to information, stored in memory of electronic information carrier received for review, while quantitative and qualitative characteristics of electronic information carriers are not changed.
