摘要： A tape drive and a method of using a tape drive is provided. The tape drive includes a head assembly including at least a first and a second servo read element configured to detect transition stripes of a servo pattern on tape media. The first servo read element is configured to detect at least two transition stripes of an even servo band on the tape media at a first time. The servo detection logic is configured to detect a timing of at least two transition stripes of the even servo band on the tape media. The servo controller is configured to position the head assembly laterally with respect to the tape media in response to the timing of the at least two transition stripes of the even servo band on the tape media. The second servo read element is configured to detect at least two transition stripes of an odd servo band on the tape media at a second time, wherein the second time is a time delay after the first time corresponding to a distance D. The servo detection logic is further configured to detect a timing of at least two transition stripes of the odd servo band on the tape media. The servo controller further is configured to position the head assembly laterally with respect to the tape media in response to the timing of the at least two transition stripes of the odd servo band on the tape media.

摘要： A method and a system are provided for writing a plurality of servo bands on magnetic tape. The magnetic tape is moved longitudinally relative to at least one servo write head. The servo write head is positioned to write a plurality of parallel longitudinal servo bands. The plurality of servo bands comprise odd servo bands and even servo bands, and each of the odd servo bands lie between the each of the even servo bands. The at least one servo write head is operated to write the plurality of parallel longitudinal servo bands on the magnetic tape such that each of the plurality of servo bands comprise a plurality of frames, wherein each frame comprises a plurality of bursts of transition stripes, and each burst has a first transition stripe. The first transition stripe of each burst of each the odd servo band is longitudinally shifted from the first transition stripe of each burst of each even servo band by a substantially equal distance, D, such that servo information of the odd servo bands is interleaved with the servo information from the even servo bands.

摘要： A magnetic-tape cartridge case has the same general geometry and dimensions of a conventional cartridge, but an additional slanted wall is incorporated between two other walls at one end of the cartridge case. A memory chip is placed with its antenna adjacent to the additional wall inside the case. The memory chip is accessible by non-contact means from two substantially orthogonal directions and the antenna of the external reading device may be placed in closer proximity than heretofore possible and may be optimally oriented to improve data transmission.

摘要： A method to write information to, or retrieve information from, an information storage medium disposed within a portable data storage cartridge moveably disposed in a data storage and retrieval system, wherein the data storage and retrieval system further comprises a data storage device. The portable data storage cartridge comprises a moveable curved door slidingly disposed within the enclosure, and a tape reel rotatably disposed within the enclosure, wherein the moveable curved door and the tape reel are non-concentric. The method retrieves the portable data storage cartridge from a storage slot, transports that portable data storage cartridge to a data storage device, disposes the portable data storage cartridge in the data storage device. The method further moves the moveable curved door from said a position to a second position, and reads information from and/or writes information to, the information storage medium.
