Apparatus, System, And Method For Interchange Testing

View page
US Patent:
7697228, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Oct 4, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/867569
Inventors:
Angqin Bai - Tucson AZ, US
Kent P. Bortz - Tucson AZ, US
Shawn O. Brume - Tucson AZ, US
Lawrence G. Gonzales - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 19/02
G11B 27/36
G11B 5/09
US Classification:
360 69, 360 71, 360 53, 360 31, 711111
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for interchanging testing. A test module moves a first tape from a tape pool to a first reserved slot of plurality of reserved slots using an accessor. In an embodiment, there is one (1) reserved slot corresponding to each of a plurality of tape drives. Each reserved slot is configured to store one tape for the corresponding tape drive. No other tape drive accesses the stored tape from the reserved slot. Additionally, the test module loads the first tape to a first tape drive from the first reserved slot using the accessor, reads to end of at least two file marks on the first tape using the first tape drive, rewinds to a beginning of the first tape using the first tape drive, spaces forward on the first tape to a beginning of a second of the at least two file marks using the first tape drive, writes specified data to the first tape using the first tape drive, writes a new second file mark to the first tape using the first tape drive, and moves the first tape to the first reserved slot using the accessor.

Apparatus, System, And Method For Overcoming Stiction In A Magnetic Tape Device

View page
US Patent:
8218265, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Aug 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/192095
Inventors:
Kent P. Bortz - Tucson AZ, US
Oscar Pulgarin, Jr. - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 15/60
US Classification:
36013021
Abstract:
Various embodiments of an apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing stiction in a magnetic tape device. For example, according to one representative embodiment, a magnetic head assembly for reducing stiction includes a magnetic head that is communicable in data exchange communication with tape in contact with the magnetic head. The magnetic head assembly also includes a tape lifter that is movable relative to the magnetic head. More specifically, the tape lifter is movable between a first position away from the tape and a second position in contact with the tape. In the first position, tape is contactable with the magnetic head and in the second position, tape is not contactable with the magnetic head. The magnetic head assembly further includes an actuator made at least partially of a memory shape alloy. The actuator is coupled to the tape lifter and the memory shape alloy is resiliently deformable to move the tape lifter between the first and second positions.

Process For Making Polyethylene Laminate Composites

US Patent:
20040084197, May 6, 2004
Filed:
Nov 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/286274
Inventors:
Kent Bortz - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
H05K009/00
B32B015/02
B32B015/08
B32B003/24
B32B005/02
B32B031/20
US Classification:
174/03500R, 156/309600, 156/312000, 442/016000
Abstract:
A polyethylene composite is manufactured by passing an inner core of fabric mesh sandwiched between two sheets of polyethylene material through a conventional set of high-pressure rollers at room temperature. The pressure exerted by the rollers on the polyethylene material causes its fluidification, so that each polyethylene layer permeates through the open mesh of the core material, bonds to the other layer and incorporates the core fibers to form a laminate composite. The thickness of the polyethylene sheets in relation to the gap and speed of the rollers has to be judiciously selected so that the pressure applied to the material is sufficient to fluidize the polyethylene at ambient temperature. Because no heat is applied to the system, the laminate composite is rapidly cooled as it passes through the rollers and requires no additional forming or processing.

US Patent:
20070204071, Aug 30, 2007
Filed:
Feb 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/364322
Inventors:
Angqin Bai - Tucson AZ, US
Kent Bortz - Tucson AZ, US
Jose Guillermo Gavillan - Tucson AZ, US
Khanh Ngo - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
710008000, 710104000
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automated device configuration and testing. The present invention teaches receiving and implementing a configuration request form a host, receiving and executing a power cycle request, and receiving and implementing a test request. In certain embodiments, the present invention teaches responding to a target device discovery request, communicating a test execution status, and communication a current operation status request. In certain embodiments, the present invention also teaches accessing configuration data received from the host device or within a local configuration data repository.
