Patent EP-0718766-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BINFORD CHARLES D
IPC: G06F11/16
Filed: 1995-12-19
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for assuring consistency between data
and parity in a independent access disk array system following a system reset or a power
failure condition which interrupts the execution of one or more disk write I/O operations.
The method includes the steps of: examining current drive activities to identify unfinished
write I/O operations in response to the receipt of a reset signal from a host system or a low
power warning signal from a uninterruptable power supply (UPS); logging information
necessary to identify the unfinished write I/O operations and the array redundancy groups
associated with the unfinished write I/O operations into a non-volatile memory; and
checking for log entries in the non-volatile memory during a disk array subsystem
initialization following the system reset, or the restoration of power following a power
failure. For each one of the unfinished write I/O operations identified in the log, the
method further includes the steps of: performing a bit-wise exclusive-OR of corresponding
portions of the data stored within the redundancy group associated with the unfinished
write I/O operations to calculate parity consistent therewith; and writing the calculated
parity to the parity storage areas within the redundancy group associated the unfinished
write I/O operation. For an array operating in a degraded mode, i.e., operating with a
failed disk drive member, the method also logs information necessary to identify the data
and parity data storage areas to which the unfinished write I/O operations map new data
and parity, and some form of the old data and parity information saved to the data and
parity data storage areas to which the unfinished write I/O operations map new data and
parity. Following the system reset, or restoration of power, consistent parity is determined
for each redundancy group associated with an unfinished write I/O operation by combining
the old data and parity saved to the non-volatile memory with the data currently stored
within the data storage area to which the unfinished write I/O operation maps new data.

output with respect to eight (8) regions of first and second
fields. In accordance with the field to which the divided
image data belong and a position on an image plane, time at
which each of the divided image data are retained in the
memory is decided. On the basis of this, subsequent to the
readout of the divided image data, the other divided image
data are written to a common storage region of the memory.
Thus, a memory capacity is reduced to enable interlacement
conversion.

Abstract: A high power Er-doped fiber amplifier/laser system
includes a cladding-pumped fiber grating laser (10) that emits
an output beam (11) at a wavelength that falls within an
absorption band of erbium. The fiber grating laser output beam
(11) is used as the pumping source for an Er-doped fiber
amplifier or laser (12). Because the output from the fiber
grating laser (10) falls within one of the erbium absorption
bands, the amplifier or laser (12) may be directly pumped with
the fiber grating laser's output without the need for co-doping.
In a preferred embodiment, the fiber grating laser (10) is a
980 nm ytterbium-doped fiber grating laser that is cladding-pumped
with a multi-transverse mode diode laser array (22).
The Yb-doped fiber grating laser (10) and the Er-doped fiber
amplifier/laser (12) are preferably spliced directly to an input
and output arm of a WDM fiber coupler (24), respectively. This
allows the 980 nm output from the Yb-doped fiber grating laser
(10) to be coupled to the Er-doped fiber amplifier/laser (12)
through an all-fiber path, without having to propagate through
air.

Abstract: To provide an optical reading apparatus with which,
when it is not being driven, the power supply to most parts is
turned off and wasteful battery consumption is prevented, when
the host computer side finishes processing with respect to the
bar code reader handy terminal 2 and extinguishes the light-emitting
device 30, because the light-receiving device 28 of
the power supply part 70 transmits a power supply control
signal indicative of driving the power supply OFF, the
switching circuit 74 turns off the driving power supply from
the battery 72 to the processor 40 and the functioning of the
processor 40 stops. Because the processor 40 has its power
supply turned on by the host computer due to this, at times of
waiting for instructions from the host computer side that which
is driven is the power supply part 70 only. Because the
consumption of the storage battery 72 of driving of the power
supply part 70 is extremely low compared with driving of the
stand 4, needless consumption of the battery 72 can be
prevented.

38, 40 and 42; 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60) are selected (22)
and arranged based upon achieving low levels of aberrations
other than distortion, with a distortion level of
5% or greater being introduced by sacrificing distortion-free
imaging to achieve such low levels. The distortion
of the optical arrangement is characterized (24) and then
identified (26) to a digital image processing system

optical level to be corrected (30) at the processing
level. The approach is to provide front end image
shaping (28) that sacrifices distortion-free imaging to
control other aberration contributions and then to
provide back end digital reshaping (30) to substantially
correct the distortion. The identification of front end
and back end shaping and reshaping is made with reference

Abstract: A device for CD reproduction with variable speed or direction, in
particular devices compatible with a CD player, such as,
for example, DVD players which are likewise suitable for
the playback of CDs, or corresponding CD-ROM drives.
The data or information read from the CD are read into a buffer
memory at a rate which, as a rule, is higher than is
required for real-time reproduction. Data read into the
buffer memory (RAM) in a continuous sequence are then
used for CD reproduction with variable speed by means of
subsampling or oversampling. For the purpose of reverse
reproduction, groups of subcode words are successively
read from the buffer memory by changing the order within
the groups and are reproduced as a continuous
reproduction data stream. Preferably, assemblies present
in a reproduction device are used for CD reproduction
with variable speed or direction and an improved
comprehensibility of the reproduced information and also
more accurate finding of a desired reproduction position
are achieved.
