摘要： A disk drive that sustains a constant rate to a host and provides a method for allowing retries and accesses to reallocated sectors if the disk drive's recent historical performance has been sufficient to guarantee that the minimum transfer rate will be met while performing a retry or accessing a reallocated sector. During the transfer of data, the disk drive determines a reserve value that represents the amount of data that is stored in a transfer buffer. The reserve value is increased by the number of sectors actually sent to an intermediate buffer between the disk drive and the host, and decreased based on the minimum or constant data rate, normalized to revolutions of a disk within the drive. Based on this value, the disk drive determines if the disk drive can seek for data in reallocated sectors or to perform retries to correct faulty data while maintaining the minimum transfer rate. Because disk drive electronics provide automation for the transfer portion, the process of performing retries and seeks may be programed in the hardware such that specific conditions may be set under which the disk drive may stop and perform a retry or seek to a reallocated sector location.

摘要： An automated stencil dryer includes a holder mechanism for holding a stencil, a discharge mechanism for discharging air against a stencil positioned in the holder, and a driver mechanism operatively coupled to the discharge mechanism for automatically moving the discharge mechanism so that compressed air can be discharged fully across the surface of the stencil. In one embodiment, the discharge mechanism includes a pair of air knives disposed parallel to one another on opposite sides of the holder so that the stencil is between the air knives when the stencil is positioned in the holder. The air knives are oriented inward toward the stencil when the stencil is positioned in the holder so that air discharged from the air knives is directed against the stencil. In another embodiment, the discharge mechanism includes a pair of air distribution pipes disposed parallel to one another on opposite sides of the holder so that the stencil is between the distribution pipes when the stencil is positioned in the holder. A plurality of orifices are disposed along each distribution pipe through which air is discharged. The orifices are oriented inward toward the stencil when the stencil is positioned in the holder to direct air against the stencil. An optional feature provides a squeegee holder disposed adjacent to the channels. The squeegee holder holds a squeegee within the extent of the stencil so that air discharged from the discharge mechanism is directed against the squeegee when the squeegee is positioned in the squeegee holder.

摘要： A selectively floatable protective shroud is disclosed for protecting a boat hull from fouling by marine organisms. The assembly consists of an inflatable, elongated toroidal bladder with an inner opening larger than the circumference of the hull of the boat at its water line. The bladder has an inflation nozzle which is connected to a gas pump, for controllably inflating the bladder. A continuous, flexible, water impervious shroud has a circumferential edge mounted about the circumference of the toroidal bladder for protecting the boat hull, when deployed about the boat. By controllably inflating the bladder, the shroud is selectively brought from a submerged position beneath the boat to a deployed position enveloping the hull of the boat so as to protect the hull from fouling by marine organisms. A water pump is disclosed being connected to a water drain nozzle mounted on the flexible shroud, for controllably pumping out sea water from the region between the flexible shroud and the boat hull. Various embodiments for guide members are disclosed which are mounted to the sea bed floor and are connected to the bladder for guiding the shroud from the submerged position to the deployed position enveloping the hull of the boat. Various control and interlock mechanisms are disclosed for conveniently operating the system from onboard the boat.

摘要： A restriction diagnostic system for a vehicle comprises a pressure difference module and a diagnostic module. The pressure difference module determines a pressure difference between an ambient air pressure and a filtered air pressure measured at a location between an air filter and a valve that is selectively opened to enable ambient airflow through the air filter to a fuel vapor canister. The diagnostic module selectively diagnoses restriction of the airflow through the air filter when the pressure difference is greater than a predetermined pressure.
