Title: Extended position error signal linearization and normalization
Inventor: ELLIOT MARK LOWELL
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 1998-07-14
Abstract: A method of producing a position error signal (334, 336) includes storing a normal position error value (282) generated from a normal servo field (402) and a quadrature position error value (286) generated from a quadrature servo field (404), where the normal servo field is ninety degrees out of phase from the quadrature servo field. A position error numerator (294, 298) is created by arithmetically combining the normal position error value (282) and the quadrature position error value (286). A position error denominator (306, 308) is created based on the normal position error value (282) and the quadrature position error value (286). The position error signal (334, 336) is produced by dividing the position error numerator (294, 298) by the position error denominator (306, 308).

Title: Paint and adhesive test system
Inventor: MANN GEORGE EDWARD
IPC: G01N19/04
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A testing system provides a quantitative way of measuring the adhesive strength of adhesives 12, paints, coatings, adhesive tapes, and other test substances to underlying adherends and substrates, such as metals. First and second adherends 14,11 are bonded together over a relatively small area near the centers and are then pulled apart by a force applied at one end 33 of one of the adherends. The force is increased until the second adherend member is debonded from the first throughout the test bonding zone 40, thus determining the total energy expended in debonding the first and second adherend members plus strain energy expended in displacing the second member from the first. The force is then decreased until there is no longer any displacement of the second member from the first while concurrently measuring the decreasing force and displacement of the second adherend member from the first adherend member as a function of the decreasing force. This determines the strain energy apart from the total energy. The strain energy is then subtracted from the total energy and the resulting difference is divided by the area of the test bonding zone 40 to determine the specific work of debonding. The strength of the adhesive properties of the test substances, and also the cohesive bonding strength of such substances may be determined utilizing the system of the invention.

Title: Queuing architecture with multiple queues and method for statistical disk scheduling for video servers
Inventor: CHIN DANNY
IPC: H04N21/232
Filed: 2000-03-09
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.
