    摘要: A disk drive includes a stop, a head stack assembly and a latch having a latch arm that is movable between a closed position and an open position. The latch includes a first retainer that urges the latch arm toward the open position, and a second retainer that urges the latch arm toward the closed position. The latch includes a mover that contacts the latch arm upon a sufficient shock to the disk drive and causes the latch arm to move to the closed position. The disk drive includes an actuator motor that momentarily urges the head stack assembly against the latch during startup of the disk drive, thereby moving the latch arm to the open position.

    摘要: This invention provides an Internet Access Provider (IAP) a simple mechanism to steer users to given Internet services, such as the Web pages, of sponsors. The mechanism allows a sponsor to grant a dial-in user unlimited access to the Internet after the user has first accessed its Internet services. The invention is thus important for any IAP that wants to receive income from sponsors by steering Internet users to their services. In the ultimate case, an IAP could receive all its income from sponsors and thus be able to offer the Internet access for free. The key characteristics of the present invention is that a user is steered to the Internet services of a sponsor based on a sponsor specific called telephone number or a sponsor specific login name.

    摘要: A mounting assembly for securing a disk drive to a frame of a computer is provided herein. The mounting assembly includes three rigid mounts and a single flexible mount. Each rigid mount rigidly secures the drive housing to the frame and prevents degradation of performance of the disk drive. The flexible mount diminishes the level of vibration transferred from the frame to drive housing. Further, the flexible mount facilitates flexing of the drive housing intermediate the flexible mount and the rigid mounts. This reduces the effects of a shock pulse to the disk drive and inhibits head slap between a transducer head and a storage disk.

    摘要: In a control block design methodology, control block design proceeds without the inclusion of scan functionality until the functional design specifications are met. After meeting the functional design specifications, a scan insertion tool is executed to automatically insert scan functionality. The insertion is performed in such a manner that the functional cells within the control block are not perturbed. Therefore, functional timing may be minimally affected, if at all. In one embodiment, a scan enable buffer is inserted at the end of each row in the control block. Flops (or other scannable storage devices) within the row are connected to the scan enable line provided by the scan enable buffer within the row. Additionally, flops are connected into a scan chain on a row-by-row basis, minimizing the length of the wires connecting the scan chain. If a particular scan chain wire exceeds a length which will meet scan timing requirements, a scan chain buffer can be inserted as well (e.g. at the end of the row).

    摘要: A switch in an asynchronous transfer mode system utilizes an early packet discard (EPD) scheme and discards all but the end-of-packet cell of packets that are expected to prevent other partially transmitted packets from being transmitted through the switch. The switch also utilizes an integrated tail packet discard (I-TPD) scheme and, once a cell of a packet has been discarded for any reason, discards all of the remaining cells of the packet except the end-of-packet cell. Each of the EPD and the I-TPD schemes retain the last cell of a packet in order to maintain packet boundaries. Further, they each set the loss-priority of the end-of-packet cell to high, to increase the likelihood that the cell will be transmitted through the remaining switches in the route to the station to which the packet is directed. When the end-of-packet cell is received, the switch retains the cell unless its maximum queue limit is exceeded, and resets any associated early or tail packet discard flag. When the beginning of the next packet is received, the switch checks its queue length against an associated queue limit and against a CLP and an EPD threshold to determine whether or not to retain the cell. If the cell is discarded, the switch invokes, as appropriate, either the EPD or I-TPD and thereafter discards cells of the same packet. It invokes EPD when the queue limit exceeds the EPD threshold, and invokes I-TPD if it discards this or any cell when (a) it is policing a usage or network parameter control violation, (b) its associated queue exceeds an applicable queue limit, or (c) it selectively discards low-priority cells.
