Patent EP-0726514-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BURKES THERESA A
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 1995-08-08
Abstract: A hierarchic disk array data storage system (10) has multiple
storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34) and a RAID
management system (16) that maps the physical storage space (34) into two
virtual storage spaces. A RAID-level virtual storage space (40) presents the
physical storage space as mirror and parity RAID areas where the mirror RAID
areas store data according to RAID Level 1 and the parity RAID areas store data
according to RAID Level 5. An application-level virtual storage space (50)
presents the physical storage space as multiple virtual blocks. The RAID
management system (16) migrates data between the mirror and parity RAID
areas to optimize performance and reliability. To facilitate migration, the RAID
management system (16) guarantees a minimum of unused storage space that
can be used to empty a RAID area for the purpose of converting the RAID level
or other storage attribute of the RAID area. The minimum unused storage space
is preferably equivalent in size to at least one largest parity RAID area.
However, the unused storage space is not in any one physical location, but can
be allowed to distribute itself over various RAID areas in a non-contiguous
manner across the storage disks.

Abstract: A process for preparing cyclic organohydrogen-
siloxanes is described. It comprises contacting an
organohydrogendichlorosilane with about a stoichiometric
equivalent of water to form a hydrolyzate. The hydrolyzate
is then diluted in an inert solvent and contacted with an
acidic rearrangement catalyst to effect formation of cyclic
organohydrogensiloxanes. The cyclic organohydrogensiloxanes
are subsequently separated from inert solvent and linear
organohydrogensiloxanes. The inert solvent and linear
organohydrogensiloxanes are later recycled to the process
for further contact with the acidic rearrangement catalyst.

sequence to produce a first quantized vector and a predicted
vector quantizer (13) responsive to the input vector sequence
for quantizing into a second predicted vector a predicted vector
predictive of the current input vector with quantization, a predicting
unit (37) produces the predicted vector in response to a predetermined
number of output vectors including such first and second quantized
vectors. Responsive to a prediction error vector between the
current input and the predicted vectors, a control circuat (35)
controls, at a time, input and output switches (31, 33) to supply
the input vector sequence to only one selected quantizer of the
input and the predicted vector quantizers and to produce as one
of the output vectors one of the first and the second quantized
vectors that is produced by the selected quantizer. The first
and the second quantized vectors are produced as two of the output
vectors when the prediction error vector is greater and smaller
than a threshold value, respectively.

Abstract: A magnetization magnet (11) is brought into contact
with or close to the outer circumferential surface of a
tire (12) that has a steel belt in its outer
circumferential portion, and is relatively moved along
the circumferential direction of the tire (12) so that
the magnetic field generated by the magnetization magnet
(11) runs in the circumferential direction of the tire
(12), thereby magnetizing the tire (12). The entire
perimeter of the outer circumferential portion of the
tire (12) is continuously magnetized in one direction
along the circumferential direction. After the
polarities of the magnetization magnet (11) are inverted
with respect to the circumferential direction of the
tire (12), an angle range smaller than 360° on the outer
circumferential portion of the tire is continuously re-magnetized
in a direction opposite to the one direction.
In a magnetic field detection method, a magnetic field
is differentially detected by two magnetic detection
elements, which are set so that the magnetic field
detection directions of the two magnetic detection
elements are parallel to the side surface of the tire,
and the two elements are juxtaposed in a direction
perpendicular to the side surface of the tire.

Abstract: A high pressure mercury ultraviolet lamp with high dimensional
accuracy in which the emitter material during lamp operation is prevented
from spraying and being deposited onto the wall of the discharge vessel and
the UV radiation transmission factor is prevented from being reduced is
achieved by the fact that at least one of a group of halides which consists of
halides of yttrium lanthanum, cerium, dysprosium, gadolinium and thorium
and at least one of a group of halides which consists of halides of alkali
metal elements are filled at a filling ratio in the range from 1:4 to 1:20 to one
another as a molar fraction. This also yields the same action as the
application of emitter material to the upholding parts of the electrodes.
Furthermore, high dimensional accuracy can be ensured by the measure by
which the discharge vessel is made of a translucent ceramic, such as YAG.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a supply roller 4
supplies a liquid developer to the photo-conductive substance
of a photosensitive drum or belt prior to an electrostatic
latent image forming process. The supply roller 4 is applied
with a voltage identical in polarity with the charge of toner
in the liquid developer, and the liquid developer is uniformly
supplied to the surface of a photo-conductive substance to
form a liquid developer layer. An exposure unit 6 selectively
exposes the photo-conductive substance from the upside of the
liquid developer layer in accordance with the image
information, to thereby weaken an adhesion of the toner in an
exposed area of the liquid developer to the photo-conductive
substance. A removing roller 8 is applied with a voltage
opposite in polarity to the toner charge to attract and
recover the toner weakened in the adhesion by an electric
field. The developed image caused by the liquid developer
which has remained on the surface of the photo-conductive
substance without being recovered is transferred to a
recording medium 11 by a transfer roller 13.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clock regenerating
circuit which is capable of stably generating a correct
regenerated clock, which is operated based upon a
correlation signal output also in a system for
multiplexing plural series of signals in which a signal
which is spread with a spread code is delayed each other
by optional several chips. Only a portion of a correlation
signal having a correlation peak from a modulator (not
shown) is sequentially extended on a time axis and is
compared with a threshold value which is given from a
terminal in comparators (12-1 through 12-7). The
resultants of comparison are added to each other in adders
(13-1 through 13-7) to specify a position where an
overflow occurred (the position representing advance or
lag of the clock). Switching of the frequency dividing
circuit is conducted in a clock regenerating unit (15) in
response to the output so that a clock which is in a
correct timing relation is reproduced. In case of delay
multiplexing, each component is controlled to lower the
threshold value, to increase overflow and narrow the time
window with the increase in the multiplexing number, to
provide an optimal condition.
