摘要： A method and system for monitoring the activity of a tape drive system having one or more electro-mechanical components that receive electrical current from a power supply. The method includes sampling an actual current supplied to an electro-mechanical component of a tape drive system from a power supply during an activity; reading a theoretical current for said activity from a memory; calculating a statistical value for said actual current and said theoretical current; comparing said statistical value to at least one threshold value; and outputting information to at least one of a user, another system, and another process based on said comparison of said statistical value to said at least one threshold value.

摘要： A contactless power system for an automated data storage library having a plurality of storage shelves for storing data storage cartridges, at least one picker for accessing the data storage cartridges with respect to the storage shelves, and a transport system for guiding the picker(s) along at least one path with respect to the storage shelves. The contactless power system comprises a plurality of segmented coils arranged in parallel to the path(s), and in proximity to at least one induction receiver of the picker(s); and at least one power source supplying power to the segmented coils, for inductive transmission of power by the segmented coils to the induction receiver(s) of the picker(s). The power source(s) may switch the supplied power to selected segmented coils based on an indication of the position of the induction receiver(s) of the picker along the path.

摘要： A controller of an automated data storage library is configured to store information regarding operation of the library in a memory; to reserve at least one data storage cartridge; and to operate a data storage drive and the memory to transfer at least a portion of the information stored in the memory to the reserved data storage cartridge. The library controller is configured to maintain an externally available inventory of data storage cartridges of the library, e.g. for a host system, and excludes the reserved data storage cartridge from the inventory.

摘要： A data storage device for recording to and reading from magnetic thread includes a head assembly having an opening through which the magnetic thread passes. Transducing elements are positioned around the inner surface of the opening and interact with longitudinally-extending parallel tracks formatted around the surface of the magnetic thread. If the number of tracks is greater than the number of transducing elements, the transducing elements may be rotatable about the magnetic thread to position the transducing elements to interact with other tracks. The head assembly may open to aid positioning the magnetic thread within the opening in the head assembly during loading. If desired, multiple head assemblies may be placed in the thread path to improve data throughput. The magnetic thread may be formed with a non-circular cross-section and the opening in the head assembly may have a corresponding cross-section to reduce twisting of the magnetic thread as it passes through the opening.
