US Patent:

55769055, Nov 19, 1996

Filed:

Feb 28, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/396094

Inventors:

Joe L. Garcia - Tucson AZ
Paul Y. Hu - Tucson AZ
John A. Koski - Tucson AZ

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G11B 1554
G11B 1567

US Classification:

360 7314

Abstract:

Air entrainment effects are avoided in a bi-directional, reel-to-reel tape transport in which magnetic tape can be moved in either of two opposing directions for data recording thereon. Control of tape position is implemented in a servo algorithm that uses tachometer inputs to determine parameter values for generating reel motor drive currents. A fine-line tachometer is mounted on each of two reels in the tape drive and multiplexing selects the fine-line output from the tachometer on the reel supplying tape for use in the servo algorithm. At least one of the tachometers is preferably of the type which generates an index line once each revolution of the motor to which it is mounted. This tachometer is coupled to the reel to which the tape is initially threaded and the index line is used to indicate that the motor is at a predetermined threading position for this operation.

International Classification:

G11B 556
G11B 2124

US Classification:

360109

Abstract:

A head guide assembly of a tape device includes a beam for securely mounting a tape head thereon, wherein the tape head is accurately aligned and mounted so as to have both an improved resonance response as well as isolation from external shock or vibrations. A head guide support, made from a super gusseted material, supports the beam and tape head wherein the beam is mounted on a brass base for reducing resonances. The brass base is coupled to the head guide support via a kingpin and wedge clamps for locking the tape head in alignment without affecting the alignment. Additional resonances in a direction of a pitch of the tape head is reduced by further connecting the brass base to the head guide support without distorting the aligned position of the brass base. Shock mounts are provided for floating the head guide assembly from a base of the tape device.

Abstract:

A method of identifying gene expression associated with recurrence free survival in a subject with cancer, comprising: a) assaying a sample from a subject diagnosed with cancer for the presence of altered gene expression of one or more genes selected from the group consisting of ADK, AP2B1, AVL9, CANX, DBT, DHRS7, DONSON, FAM190B, FGFR1, FOXN3, FZD5, GGH, GM2A, IGFBP5, ITSN2, LAMC1, LIFR, METTL7A, MT1F, MT1G, MT1P2, MT1X MT2A, NAB1, NCOA1, NCOR1, PAPOLA, PPME1, PPP1R13L, PRKAR2A, RABEP1, RBBP8, SGPL1, SIRT1, SNX2, SREK1, TAF1B, TMED5, and ZMIZ2; and b) identifying an outcome of decreased likelihood of recurrence free survival when altered gene expression relative to the level in a non-cancerous sample is present.
