International Classification:

G11B 5/09

US Classification:

360 48, 360 39, 360 51, 711112

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a disk arrangement, a first signal processing path configured to output data from the disk arrangement according to a first protocol, a second signal processing path configured to output data from the disk arrangement according to a second protocol, and an interface including a set of electrical conductors and a mode control unit. The mode control unit is configured to output data from the first signal processing path on the set of electrical conductors according to the first protocol and to output data from the second signal processing path on the set of electrical conductors according to the second protocol according to a control signal received by the mode control unit. The second protocol is different from the first protocol.

Appl. No.:

11/454493

Inventors:

Christopher J. Squires - Westminster CO, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711100

Abstract:

A control arrangement, for example, in a digital component that forms part of a system, draws an input current for its operation and is configured for monitoring an interface for any one of a group of commands and, upon detecting an issued one of the group of commands, operates the component for executing the issued command in an operational mode, and during an idle time on the interface, the control arrangement exclusively monitors the interface for any one of the group of commands such that the input current is limited to a leakage current. The component may draw less than 1 milliamp of current during the idle mode.

Appl. No.:

11/507752

Inventors:

Curtis H. Bruner - Longmont CO, US
Larry J. Koudele - Superior CO, US
Noureddine Kermiche - Longmont CO, US
James B. French - Longmont CO, US

International Classification:

G11B 5/09

US Classification:

360 51

Abstract:

An apparatus and associated method are described for use in a disk drive including a disk that that is supported for controlled rotation and for cooperating with a transducer arrangement for accessing the disk in performing a data operation. The disk includes an arrangement of servo track wedge segments for storing servo data such that a set of servo data is periodically available as the disk is rotated in relation to the transducer arrangement and the servo track wedges are separated by an arrangement of user data wedge segments for use in storing user data. Generally, a controller IC and a channel IC are provided. The servo data is transferred from the channel IC to the controller IC using one data protocol and user data is bidirectionally transferred between the channel IC and the controller IC using a different data protocol.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 5, 705 7

Abstract:

Methods, systems and apparatuses related to providing, among other things, a collaboration and travel ecosystem are discussed herein. For example, various tools and functionality may be provided that assist a client in determining the availability of telepresence equipment, the cost to use the telepresence equipment, the potential return on investment for money spent traveling as compared to conducting a telepresence event, among other things. In some embodiments, a user interface may be presented to a client that presents various information associated with, e.g., the telepresence equipment and/or facilitates the booking of the telepresence equipment. One or more backend systems may be used to, for example, coordinate the booking of a telepresence event and/or the booking of traditional travel events. In some embodiments, business rules and/or other types of data may be generated, received, maintained and/or received by the backend system(s).

Assignee:

Transfair Corporation - Wheatridge CO

International Classification:

B01D 5322
B01D 6302

US Classification:

95 45

Abstract:

A hollow fiber membrane gas separation module includes an elongated pressure vessel defining an interior cavity and having at least one end with a permeate exit flow region, a core of short hollow fiber membranes extending in the interior cavity, having lengths falling within a range of from 3 to 60 centimeters and being of the type for separation of gases, and external feed and retentate gas manifolds defining flow chambers and being attached to and overlying spaced side portions of the pressure vessel. The external feed and retentate manifolds permit tailoring of the transverse gas flow through the hollow fiber membranes of the core so as to improve gas separation performance of the hollow fibers.
