Abstract: A novel supply discriminator circuit is disclosed for detecting the level of a supply voltage during power-up of a system for configuring an integrated analog circuit such as a PCMCIA card. The circuit compares a reference voltage with a divided down supply voltage and latches the result a predetermined delay later. The delay thus provides timing for the supply voltage to stabilize after power-up to assure accurate detection, as well as noise immunity from other devices.

Abstract: A diversity receiver. Antennas (100,101) are provided for respective branches. Each of the antennas generates a branch signal by receiving a radio signal through a radio signal path. The paths are different from each other. A reliability extraction circuit (200) is provided to extract the reliability information of respective branch signals from them during an observation period. The observation period is set such that the radio signal paths appear to be equivalent to white noise Gaussian transmission paths, regardless of the occurrence of fading. Normally, the observation period is sufficiently shorter than a variance period of the branch signals due to the fading. After extracting the reliability information, weights for the respective branch signals are determined on the basis of the reliability information. The branch signals are linearly combined in accordance with the weights, and the signal thus obtained is output. As the reliability information, probability information are available. The probability information can be obtained on the basis of envelope levels or carrier power to noise power ratios of the branch signals.

Abstract: A RAID system includes an array of disk units, with data mapped on to the disks as a series of stripes. Each stripe contains a number of chunks, including at least one data chunk and at least one parity chunk. The data chunks of each stripe are located on radially more outer parts of the disks and the parity chunks of each stripe are located on radially more inner parts of the disks. Because the data chunks are all located on the radially more outer parts of the disks, the amount of head movement for read operations is significantly reduced, which significantly improves the read performance. If each stripe contains d data chunks and p parity chunks, the data chunks are located on the radially more outer fraction d/(d+p) of each disk, and the parity chunks are located on the radially more inner fraction p/(d+p) of each disk. Successive chunks within each stripe may be physically located at successively more radially inward positions on successive disks, so that each stripe has a helical configuration. Mirroring can be considered as a special case in which the number of data chunks is equal to the number of parity chunks, and the parity consists of a simple replication of the data. A mirrored data storage disk array is described in which data is written to the outermost half of one disk, and to the innermost half of another disk, and is read from the disk in which it is stored in the outermost half.
