摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed relating to electro-mechanical devices and related computer control and audio processing systems intended to optimize playback fidelity of phonograph records. Said recordings are manufactured by a process that employs a cutting head assembly driven in a straight path from the outer to the inner-most radius of the recordable surface. However, most record turntables device that are used to play back phonograph records rely on a stylus transducer attached to the end of a pivoting arm. Instead of the linear path followed by the original cutting head, said tonearm traces an arc across the surface of the recorded disk resulting in playback distortion proportional to error in alignment of said stylus relative to the tangent of the groove. This invention addresses this deficiency and produces an optimal audio quality of playback of phonograph records.

A sensor may be configured with a nanocrystal that has a nitrogen-vacancy. The nanocrystal can be positioned proximal a magnetic source, mount, and articulable stage. Various embodiments configure the articulable stage configured to align the nanocrystal and the magnetic source along a common axis to sense magnetic fields about the magnetic source with a sub-nanometer resolution.

A system and method for power management in a hard disk drive (HDD) assembly incorporating two or more read sensors includes directing a read/write head to follow a track; depowering one or more read sensors and readpath circuits associated with the read sensors; reading an analog readback signal through the first read sensor; processing the signal through an analog front-end to generate an input signal; sampling the input signal through an analog to digital converter at a first frequency to generate a first sampling signal; sampling the input signal through a second analog to digital converter at a second frequency to generate a second sampling signal; and generating a digital output signal from either or both sampling signals at a third sampling frequency through a digital signal processor. The method may additionally comprise adjusting a sampling frequency when power level reaches a threshold.

At the time of a fan failure of a plurality of fans for cooling redundant controllers, data loss can be avoided even if a power source of each controller is controlled.A storage system includes: a first controller for controlling a first power source; a plurality of first fans for cooling the first controller; a second controller for controlling a second power source; a plurality of second fans for cooling the second controller; and a storage device including a plurality of storage units; wherein if a fan failure of the first fans occurs, the first controller controls the first power source in a standby state on condition that the second controller is in a normal state; and if the second power source is in the standby state, the first controller executes destaging processing and then controls the first power source in the standby state.

Automated personal video recording, including recording, for a group comprising a number of members, a show having a storage space requirement, in which each of the members has allocated storage space on a personal video recorder (“PVR”) optionally including free space, and apportioning the show's storage space requirement, including apportioning to each member an apportioned amount of the show's storage space requirement. When a member's apportioned amount of the show's storage space requirement exceeds the member's free space by a deficit amount: selecting, in dependence upon the deficit amount, one or more lenders; borrowing, in dependence upon the deficit amount, from the lenders for the group, at least one loan amount of storage space; and apportioning the loan amount among the members.

Times at which requests for a data read or data write from/to a logical volume are received are stored in memory as access times of a RAID group making up the logical volume. When a predetermined time has elapsed after the access time, a number of the hard disk drives according to the redundancy of the RAID group are set to a power saving mode. Assume there are first hard disk drives and second hard disk drives having shorter lifes and the RAID group exceeds a predetermined time after the access time. When the RAID group consists of only the first drives, a number of the first drives according to the redundancy of the RAID group are set to a power saving mode and when it consists of only the second drives, an arbitrary number of second drives are set to a power saving mode.

A disk drive data storage system comprising at least one data storage disk and a sensor assembly proximate the data storage disk. The sensor assembly further comprises circuitry for writing data to the data storage disk and circuitry for reading data from the data storage disk. The system also comprises circuitry for controlling the circuitry for reading data during different time periods so that the circuitry for reading data consumes different levels of power while the circuitry for writing data is writing data to the data storage disk.

The disclosure pertains to a scratch effect controller for use by a disk jockey, wherein at least one electromagnet creates the slippage tension or friction effect between the user manipulated disc, which includes a vinyl-like surface thereby simulating a vinyl record, and the rotatable or fixed platter. The strength of the electromagnet is variable so as to create a variable slippage tension or friction effect.
