    摘要: Cooling apparatuses are provided to facilitate active control of thermal and fluid dynamic performance of a coolant-cooled cold plate. The cooling apparatus includes the cold plate and a controller. The cold plate couples to one or more electronic components to be cooled, and includes an adjustable physical configuration. The controller dynamically varies the adjustable physical configuration of the cold plate based on a monitored variable associated with the cold plate or the electronic component(s) being cooled by the cold plate. By dynamically varying the physical configuration, the thermal and fluid dynamic performance of the cold plate are adjusted to, for example, optimally cool the electronic component(s), and at the same time, reduce cooling power consumption used in cooling the electronic component(s). The physical configuration can be adjusted by providing one or more adjustable plates within the cold plate, the positioning of which may be adjusted based on the monitored variable.

    摘要: A disk drive which incorporates separate actuators for each recording head so as to only place required recording heads over the recording media of multiple surface hard disk drives. The reduction in recording heads that are placed over the recording media reduces drag on the rotating disk holding the recording media and thereby reduces the power consumption. Reducing the number of recording heads over the recording media also reduces damage to the recording media surfaces in the event of a physical shock to the drive since inactive transducer heads are not in a position to damage the recording media.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for mapping the character and location of small surface variations on a planar surface. Energy in the form of pulses is supplied to an object in close proximity to the planar surface to thereby raise the temperature of the object and at part of the surface. A change in temperature of the object is detected when it is in proximity to the variation to define the location and character of the variation. By supplying the energy in the form of pulses, the size of the thermal signature produced in the planar surface is limited wherein a more accurate and more sensitive mapping method and apparatus are provided. The energy supply may be thermal energy or optical energy but preferably is electrical energy which heats a resistive element. Preferably, the object is a magnetoresistive head of a disk drive assembly and the surface may be that of a magnetic recording material. The change in temperature is detected by monitoring the resistance of the magnetoresistive coil of the head. It is preferred that the object be positioned with respect to the surface so that when that relative motion between the surface and the object occurs, the object does not contact the surface.

    摘要: A signature verification system includes means for obtaining acceleration data and pressure data related to a given signature and means for comparing that data with reference data previously obtained from an identified signer. The correlations between segments of a reference pressure signal and a sample pressure signal are computed. This process involves successively measuring the correlation as the two segments are shifted with respect to each other. The amount of the shifts that produce the maximum correlations between the pressure signal segments is stored in memory. The corresponding segments of acceleration data are shifted with respect to one another by an amount which is .+-.1 time units of the stored shift values during subsequent correlations of the acceleration data. The overall performance of the signature verification system is improved both in terms of processing time and in error rate as compared to the independent shifting method and in error rate with a minor increase in computation time as compared to the pressure only shifting method.

    摘要: A signature verification method is based on a comparison of the dynamics of a reference and a sample signature. Acceleration and pressure signals produced by a known person when writing his or her signature are stored and used as a reference signals. Then, at a later time, a person whose signature is to be verified writes his or her signature to produce acceleration and pressure signals that are compared to the reference signals. The process of comparison involves segmenting the two sets of signals to facilitate identifying regions of high probable correlation and then correlating corresponding segment pairs. Segmentation is based on pen lifts which represent reproducible timing marks in the signatures. According to the disclosed method, a pen or other writing instrument is used which produces a signal representative of the first time derivative of the pressure forces exerted on the stylus of the pen. The second time derivative of the pressure forces is computed from the measured signal. The first and second time derivatives are examined to detect quiet times indicative of lifting the pen from a writing surface. The detected quiet times are checked to determine if they have a time duration which exceeds a predetermined time period. The polarity and amplitude of the second time derivatives are tested to determine if they are positive and exceed a predetermined threshold at the beginning and end of each detected quiet time. Preferably, the steps of detecting quiet times, examining the duration of the quiet times, and testing the polarity and amplitude of the second derivatives are performed concurrently.
