Title: Queuing architecture with multiple queues and method for statistical disk scheduling for video servers
Inventor: LERMAN JESSE S
IPC: H04N21/232
Filed: 2000-03-09
Granted: 2006-08-15
Abstract: A queuing architecture and method for scheduling disk drive access requests in a video server. The queuing architecture employs at least two access request queues (221; 222, 223) for each disk drive (120) within a disk drive array. A first queue (221) is for disk access requests by steady-state users currently viewing a program. A second queue, which may include multiple queues (222, 223), is for all other types of access requests including requests by users who wish to begin viewing a program, disk maintenance, meta data synchronizing and the like. A queue selector (205) gives highest priority to requests in the first queue to maintain time deadlines for steady state disk access requests, which are serviced in order of ascending deadlines. Requests from the second queue are serviced only if all of the steady-state requests in the first queue will meet their time deadlines in the worst case.

Title: A programmable timer unit for use in a remote control load management system
Inventor: YOKOTA KOUJI
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-04-16
Granted: 2007-08-28
Abstract: An improved programmable timer unit can be incorporated into a remote control management system to actuate loads according a user's defined schedule without relying upon any additional supplementary device for data communication. The timer unit includes an input section for selecting a switch address of any switch employed in the system and a schedule specifying the actuation time and the control code for actuation of the target load or loads. A processor makes up a load management program based upon the schedule and executes the program for control of loads. Thus, the timer unit can alone emulate any one of the switches for controlling loads without relying on additional external device for the data communication.
