| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6363512 | Digital data recording channel An apparatus for encoding digital data for storage on a data storage medium includes a non-deterministic randomizer code generator. The randomizer code generator may select different randomizer codes for different portions of the data to be stored. The ra... | 03/26/2002 |
| 6353581 | Media access in a media library A media element library includes a magazine of media element storage locations comprising at least one cell adjacent to an opening in the housing. The cell may be moveable so as to extend toward the opening in the housing of the media element library, the... | 03/05/2002 |
| 6328766 | Media element library with non-overlapping subset of media elements and non-overlapping subset of media element drives accessible to first host and unaccessible to second host A media element library defines a viral configuration different from the physical configuration of media and drives actually present in the library. A plurality of host computer systems communicate with the library as if they were communicating with a con... | 12/11/2001 |
| 6260171 | Digital data recording channel An apparatus for encoding digital data for storage on a data storage medium includes a non-deterministic randomizer code generator. The randomizer code generator may select different randomizer codes for different portions of the data to be stored. The ra... | 07/10/2001 |
| 6249396 | Magnetic media having partitioned and presaturated data tracks The present invention provides an apparatus and method of partitioning a recording medium data track into two longitudinal regions and erasing any preexisting signal on each region with a DC bias signal of polarity opposite to that of the other region. Ma... | 06/19/2001 |
| 6167550 | Write format for digital data storage A digital data recording channel which uses variable rate encoding. The encoder monitors an input bit stream for sequences associated with selected readback characteristics, and inserts one or more bits where desirable to improve the characteristics of th... | 12/26/2000 |
| 5931968 | Digital data recording channel An apparatus for encoding digital data for storage on a data storage medium includes a non-deterministic randomizer code generator. The randomizer code generator may select different randomizer codes for different portions of the data to be stored. The ra... | 08/03/1999 |
| 5898534 | Method and system for controlling the position of a magnetic read head The present invention provides an apparatus and method of partitioning a recording medium data track into two longitudinal regions and erasing any preexisting signal on each region with a DC bias signal of polarity opposite to that of the other region. Ma... | 04/27/1999 |
| 5870245 | Modular cabinet for data storage media and drives A data storage and retrieval system minimizes mechanical complexity and maximizes system flexibility by providing a modular rack mountable system which includes a passive transfer carriage for transferring media elements within the system. An active trans... | 02/09/1999 |
| 5819309 | Automated tape cartridge library with accelerated calibration A magnetic tape cartridge library includes a memory which stores calibration parameters associated with the tape cartridges and the tape drives. The tape cartridges preferably have a cartridge identifier written to the tape in a plurality of locations alo... | 10/06/1998 |
| 5815514 | Variable rate bit inserter for digital data storage A variable rate bit inserter is provided which efficiently encodes data prior to writing to a magnetic storage media. In a preferred embodiment, the bit insertion technique monitors the phase and amplitude content of the data stream and inserts appropriat... | 09/29/1998 |
| 5172872 | Self-locking tape drive hub A self-locking hub for a computer tape drive that uses tape tension along to actuate a tape reel torque lock. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the torque provided by tape tension after tape is threaded from a supply reel to a take-up reel provi... | 12/22/1992 |
