International Classification:

G11B 1700

US Classification:

360 69, 360 92, 414932

Abstract:

The tape cartridge transport magazine receives and stores tape cartridges in a horizontal orientation relative to the tape cartridge transport magazine to achieve a substantially smaller form factor. Once loaded into the magazine, the tape cartridges are shuffled in a vertical closed loop within the magazine so that any one of the tape cartridges can be positioned for selection by a cartridge picker. During shuffling within the magazine, individual tape cartridges are not flipped or reoriented, but remain properly oriented for selection by the cartridge picker. When used with a tape cartridge autoloader/library system as disclosed herein, a pair of interchangeable magazines can be utilized to store and provide tape cartridges for selection by a rotating cartridge picker.

International Classification:

H04J 3/16

US Classification:

370465, 709227

Abstract:

A Point-to-point protocol configured to provide communication exchange between a first device and a second device. The point-to-point protocol is configured to negotiate an exchange rate and establish a connection for the communication exchange between the first and second device. As system dynamics change, the point-to-point protocol is also configured to permit application programs in the first device and the second device to request renegotiation of the exchange rate at any time. The point-to-point protocol is also configured to provide confirmation to a sending application program that information was delivered to a receiving application program.

International Classification:

G11B 15/68

US Classification:

360 92

Abstract:

A media cartridge autoloader is disclosed. A rotary arm that operates a cartridge transporter is rotated in one direction to reach a reference position. With reference to the reference position, the rotary arm is rotated through a predetermined angle in the opposite direction to reach a position, which is defined as a home position. The rotary arm includes a flag array, and a non-flag section at an end of the flag array. A photo sensor detects the arrival of the rotary arm at the reference position in response to a detection of the non-flag section.
