IPC: G06F9/50

Abstract: In a multitasking data processing system, I/O requests to a disk drive are staged in holding queues from which they are transferred to a service queue. Requests in the latter queue are directly serviced on a FIFO basis by a device driver module running on the system. The system maintains a set of holding queues and an associated service queue separately for each physical drive in the system (hard file, floppy drive, etc.). Holding queues in each set are prioritised in accordance with base priorities of tasks, and I/O requests to disk drives are entered into associated holding queues having priorities corresponding to those of task threads for which such requests are originated. Prioritisation of the holding queues, and a starvation advancement process performed to advance "oldest" enqueued requests to higher priority holding queues, causes the requests to be presented to the disk drive in a sequence based in part on respective task priorities and in part on "fairness" servicing of "service starved" requests. A selection operation in respect to certain transfers from the holding queues to the service queues orders selection of transferred requests on the basis of relative proximity of disk addresses in the queued requests to current positions of the read/write head assembly in the associated disk drive. Foregoing operations serve to improve processing throughput of all tasks. A service kernel of the operating system, which maintains the holding queues, places each newly issued disk I/O request in a selected holding queue associated with a designated disk drive. The selected queue is one having a priority associated with the base priority of the task thread for which the request was issued. A request issued for a foreground task may be placed in a higher priority holding queue than requests of like priority issued for other tasks. When entering a new request into a holding queue, the kernel performs a "starvation" check relative to selected holding queues. If a starvation condition is detected, the kernel performs the above-mentioned starvation advancement operation to transfer requests in the affected queue to a higher priority queue.

Abstract: Reliability of an automated storage library is improved by mounting two CCD cameras 64 and 66 on a turret plate 67 with two grippers 69 and 70, the CCD cameras providing video support for both grippers. The turret plate 67 is rotatably mounted on the end of an anthropomorphic robot arm 59 so that the cameras and grippers are rotated and angled into position as needed for viewing or gripping. A CCD camera is positioned to view a tape cartridge for capturing an image of the label attached thereto. While the captured image is being processed to verify its identity, the first gripper is rotated into position and moved forward to grip the desired tape cartridge. The robot arm then moves the camera and gripper assembly to a tape drive and rotates the second gripper into position to remove another tape cartridge from the tape drive. The turret plate is again rotated to position the first gripper to insert the verified tape cartridge into the tape drive. Thus pick-before-place operations may be performed by a single camera and two grippers. The second camera is added to increase reliability for pick-before-place. If either gripper fails, a single camera and a single gripper in any combination will allow the automated storage library to continue to provide storage and retrieval functions.

Abstract: An abstract pattern plate-making system removes an undesired pattern from an endless pattern in the process for making a plate for printing abstract patterns on architectural materials. For this purpose, it has a scramble processing part 10 and a pixel copy processing part 11. 
     The scramble processing part 10 divides endless pattern data into blocks and repeats processing in which pattern data in two blocks selected at random from among the divided blocks are combined together by a composition technique using mask data having a predetermined pattern, thereby removing an undesired pattern. The mask pattern size may be either smaller or larger than the block size. The mask pattern may be a multi-valued pattern. Further, when the endless pattern is divided into blocks, the blocks may be allotted so as to be a little offset from the endless pattern. 
     The pixel copy processing part 11 first prepares mask data on the basis of designated pattern data in the endless pattern data and then repeats processing in which pixel data at a designated position is copied to another designated position on the basis of the prepared mask data, thereby removing an undesired pattern.

Abstract: Dividers for enabling articles such as bottles and bunches of grapes to be shipped in a manner which utilizes space economically comprise blanks of cardboard or like material which have a series of crease lines across them. Some crease lines form valleys when the blanks are folded and others form ridges. In some forms the crease lines converge and diverge in such manner that generally triangular shipping spaces are provided between adjacent ridges. When bottles are to be shipped, the bottles can be arranged in two oppositely arranged series with the necks intermeshed along the centre zone of the box. In another form each of a number of parallel crease lines has a first part which forms a ridge and a second part which forms a valley. A zig-zag crease line (24) which forms a ridge extends transversely of the blank (10). The parallel crease lines change from ridge (16,22) to valley (18,20) at an apex of the zig-zag crease line, and, on each side of the zig-zag crease line, crease lines which form valleys alternate with crease lines that form ridges.
