摘要： A highly parallel data storage chip device providing a plurality of parallel data tracks allocated into separate physical groups upon a data storage medium. A controller establishes logical groups of data tracks located in different physical groups. A servo track provides tracking information for a plurality of read/write devices that move relative to the length of each data track, thereby permitting parallel data transfer between the read/write devices and the distributed data tracks of the logical group.

摘要： A method of storing data in a storage device having a probe to form perturbations in a storage medium of the storage device includes receiving input write data bits and encoding the input write data bits to form coded write data bits. Perturbations are formed in the storage medium by contacting a probe to the storage medium, the perturbations corresponding to the coded write data bits, wherein the coded write data bits provide a generally uniform distribution of the perturbations on the storage medium.

摘要： A storage device includes a probe and a storage medium, where the probe is adapted to form perturbations in the storage medium. A read circuit detects a storage state, with the read circuit to receive a first signal representing interaction between the probe and the storage medium. The read circuit derives a second signal based on the first signal, the second signal being a second derivative of the first signal. The read circuit is adapted to detect the storage state based on the second signal.

摘要： A gutter cleaning device includes an elongate pole including a conduit extending therethrough for communication between a nozzle at a top end of the pole and a source of high pressure compressed gas at a bottom end of the pole. A trigger valve mechanism at the source controls dispensing of the gas through the nozzle. Use of a portable, replaceable canister of high pressure compressed air results in a light weight device which does not require any additional cords or hoses to be carried about the perimeter of a building having gutters to be cleared.
