Abstract: A data storage library includes multiple storage cartridges arranged in a rack; read/write control electronics integrated within a media player assembly; and actuation means for achieving relative movement between the media player assembly and the multiple storage cartridges in the rack to allow the read/write control electronics within the media player assembly to selectively couple with and provide data access to at least a subset of the multiple storage cartridges.

Abstract: A device includes a light splitter configured to receive a source light beam from a light source and split the source light beam into separate light beams, each emitted through an outlet. The device also includes resonators, each of which is optically coupled to at least one of the outlets and is configured to steer at least one of the light beams.

Abstract: A data storage library includes a number of storage cartridges arranged in a rack accessed by a actuated media player. The actuated media player is adapted to move along a plane relative to a fixed subset of the storage cartridges in the rack to and to selectively couple to each storage cartridge of the fixed subset to facilitate selective read/write access.

Abstract: Apparatus for data storage in a cartridge library archival system. In some embodiments, a plurality of portable data storage cartridges are provided. Each cartridge has a sealed housing which encloses at least one head-disc interface (HDI) with a magnetic data transducer adjacent a rotatable data recording medium. An access station has control electronics configured to transfer data signals between a memory and the transducer of a selected cartridge loaded to the access station. The access station further has an external voice coil motor (VCM) configured to engage and advance the transducer of the selected cartridge across a recording surface of the medium. A transport mechanism can be used to automatically load the cartridges to the access station. Multiple cartridges can be loaded sequentially or concurrently to support various data transfer operations.
