    摘要: A head rotator assembly (22) for dynamically compensating for a tape skew of a storage tape that moves over a head (20) in a tape drive (10) comprises a head supporter (230) that is coupled to and supports the head (20), and a supporter mover assembly (232). The supporter mover assembly (232) includes a first actuator (234A) that indirectly rotates a portion of the head supporter (230) about an axis to move the head (20) in an azimuth direction relative to the storage tape to dynamically compensate for the tape skew as the storage tape moves over the head (20). Additionally, the supporter mover assembly (232) can include a first lever (236A) moved by the first actuator (234A) to rotate the portion of the head supporter (230) so that the head (20) moves in the azimuth direction relative to the storage tape to dynamically compensate for the tape skew.

    摘要: A system for estimating an illuminant of a scene that was captured by an input image includes a control system that generates an input gamut that includes the input colors for the input image. Further, the control system compares the input gamut to an illuminant database that includes separate information from a gamut of observable colors for a plurality of possible illuminants to estimate the possible illuminant. Each illuminant can be represented by a separate illuminant gamut. Moreover, each gamut can be organized as a matrix. Additionally, the control system can combine the input gamut with each of the illuminant gamuts to generate a separate union gamut for each of the possible illuminants. The control system can compare the union gamut and the corresponding illuminant gamut for each possible illuminant to estimate the illuminant. After estimating the possible illuminant, the control system performs color correction on the input image.

    摘要: A tape drive (232) that receives a tape cartridge (42) having a tape (256) comprises a tape head (280) and a control system (270). The tape head (280) transfers data between the tape drive (232) and the tape (256). The control system (270) utilizes linear parameterization to control the position of the tape head (280) relative to the tape (256). The control system (270) can include a compensator (J) and a filter (Q). The compensator (J) is a combination of the information contained in a nominal control system (370A) and the information contained in a model of the servo system (370B). The model of the servo system (370B) estimates system disturbances that affect the tracking ability of the control system (270). The filter (Q) filters the estimated system disturbances to generate a filtered system disturbance signal. The filtered system disturbance signal is then used to adjust the output of the compensator (J). Additionally, the control system (270) can utilize Youla-Kucera parameterization to control the position of the tape head (280) relative to the tape (256). Further, the control system (270) controls the position of the tape head (280) relative to the tape (256) without the use of a feed-forward sensor.

    摘要: A pharmaceutical waste disposal assembly (10) includes a receiver body (19), a receiver guide (62), a fluid absorber (70) and a fluid distributor (64). The receiver body (19) receives fluid pharmaceutical waste. The receiver guide (62) guides the fluid pharmaceutical waste into the receiver body (19). The fluid absorber (70) is positioned within the receiver body (19), and is adapted to absorb at least a portion of the fluid pharmaceutical waste that is received by the receiver body (19). The fluid distributor (64) is coupled to the receiver guide (62), and extends at least partially into the fluid absorber (70) so that the fluid distributor (64) distributes the fluid pharmaceutical waste within the fluid absorber (70). The fluid distributor (64) includes a plurality of distributor apertures (278) that allow the fluid pharmaceutical waste to flow from the receiver guide (62) to the fluid absorber (70).
