Title: Horizontally oriented autoloader for data storage cartridges
Inventor: OSTWALD TIMOTHY C
IPC: G11B17/08
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: The horizontally oriented autoloader for data storage cartridges orients the data storage cartridges in a horizontally oriented loading bin, and occupies a vertical space consistent with the vertical dimensions of the associated cartridge drive. These features of the present autoloader thereby enable multiple autoloader equipped cartridge drives to be mounted in a vertical stack. This increases the effective utilization of the computer center floor space. In addition, the bookshelf design of the autoloader trays allows for easier loading and unloading of cartridges, with the data storage cartridges being maintained in the same order and orientation as they were in the manual storage racks from which they were removed. The horizontal data storage cartridge movement mechanism is spring loaded to attain higher performance without motor drive. Furthermore, smaller motors are used in the data storage loading mechanism than in the vertically oriented autoloader systems to implement the necessary autoloader functions while consuming less power.

The units further comprise a take-over drive and a delivery drive, these drives being independent of one another. The delivery drive of the supply unit (10.1) and the take-over drive of the removal unit are couplable to the periphery of the processing device e.g. by means of a power take-off (boldface arrow 22) in the form of a toothed belt. By means of this coupling the corresponding drive is synchronized with the processing device or is in addition to being synchronized also being driven by the processing device. The installation is e.g. used for producing products from a plurality of sub-products, wherein the majority of the means for sup-plying the sub-products are designed as supply units (10.1). These units render the installation very flexible with respect to the production of different products and give it easy handling for conversions, adjustments, trouble-shooting and maintenance.

Title: Dual isolation valve with rectangular flow passageways
Inventor: SPEARS RICKY E
IPC: F16K27/06
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A dual isolation valve (10) comprises: a valve body (12) with opposed inlet (14) and outlet ports (40) that defines an inner cavity; a first valve member (22); and a second valve member (34). The valve members (22, 34) (preferably plugs) have narrower first ends (22a, 34a) and wider second ends (22b, 34b) and are rotatably mounted within the valve body cavity for rotation about a first and second axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the flow axis F defined by the inlet and outlet ports (40). The valve members include substantially rectangular flow passages (24, 36). The first ends of the valve members extend away from the second ends along the first and second axis of rotation in opposed directions, and the valve members are rotatable between an open position, in which the flow passages (24, 36) are oriented to be generally aligned with and located on the flow axis F to enable fluid entering the inlet port to pass through the flow passage, and a closed position, in which the flow passages (24, 36) are oriented to be generally perpendicular to the flow axis F to enable fluid entering the inlet port to pass through the flow passage, and a closed position, in which the flow passages are oriented to be generally perpendicular to the flow axis F to prevent fluid entering the inlet port from passing through the flow passage. In this configuration, the flow of fluid through valve can be disturbed less than with prior art dual isolation valves while permitting extensive flow through the valve.
