  • Patent number: 11954474
    Abstract: A method, computer systems and program product to import non-compliant container images is provided. A processor receives a non-compliant container image, wherein the container image is not compliant with a target computing environment. A processor extracts a one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image. A processor compares the one or more embeddings from the non-compliant container image to a plurality of one or more embeddings from an image catalog. A processor identifies a similar image from the image catalog based on the comparison of layer embeddings from the non-compliant container image and the similar image. A processor deploys the similar image in the target computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20200372306
    Abstract: A device receives data from data sources. The device may reject a portion of the data as rejected data, and may accept a remaining portion of the data as accepted data. The device may process the rejected data, with a machine learning model, to correct the rejected data and to generate corrected data, and may determine whether the corrected data satisfies a threshold. The device may provide the corrected data to a client device when the corrected data fails to satisfy the threshold, and may receive, from the client device, feedback on the corrected data provided to the client device. The device may modify the corrected data, based on the feedback, to generate modified data, and may store the accepted data and the modified data in a data structure. The device updates the machine learning model, based on the modified data, to handle the rejected data at a later time.

  • Patent number: 7679864
    Abstract: A servo-controlled, head actuator design that has low profile characteristics in both the height and width dimensions. The low height allows the actuator to fit into a half-high tape drive form factor. Additionally, in some implementations, the actuator comprises a smaller, concentrated moving mass coupled with a flexure construction having a narrowed width with added ribs for torsional stiffness. These aspects of the actuator provide a higher second mode of vibration compared to the flexure designs of the prior art. The actuator includes a coarse actuator assembly for larger movements of the head, and a fine actuator, including a Voice coil motor, responsive to analysis of servo signals. In some embodiments, the voice coil motor of the fine actuator and the coarse actuator shafts are in line. Since the centerlines of the shafts are in-line with the voice coil motor, the resonance response of the shaft spring-mass system is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7474495
    Abstract: The claimed embodiments provide methods, apparatuses and systems directed to a servo-actuated positioner for a read/write head that uses a piezoelectric super fine actuator that moves the read/write head to maintain alignment with data tracks on a magnetic tape. The servo-actuated positioner, in one implementation, uses flexures to mechanically support the read/write head. Piezoelectric elements are attached to the flexures in strategic locations to effect movement of the read/write head when the elements are actuated. This configuration achieves a large actuator motion using small piezoelectric elements. Additionally, manufacturability is improved since the piezoelectric elements, which are typically brittle, are attached to the mechanically robust flexures.

  • Publication number: 20080024932
    Abstract: A head actuator assembly includes a coarse positioner base assembly that is mounted on a guide shaft and an anti-rotation shaft and provides increased structural rigidity due to a four-point support and spring loading of the coarse positioner base against the anti-rotation shaft. A two-part head-carriage and voice coil holder system permits different materials to be used for the head-carriage and the voice coil holder, obviating structural problems of a single-structured head-carriage and coil-holder system. A flexible printed circuit bracket eases manufacture and allows flexible printed circuits to be slid into the bracket and retained in place without the need for locating tabs and screws.

  • Publication number: 20070285844
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides for a servo-actuated, head actuator design wherein a head carriage includes one or more positional sensor location features that precisely define placement. The sensor location features are configured such that a positional sensor can be mated into a specific sensor location feature. As the head carriage is typically manufactured with great accuracy, the inclusion and placement of the sensor location features will also be extremely accurate. As a result, the location of positional sensors can be pre-defined via the head carriage design such that they will be at a precise location with respect to a magnetic head attached to the head carriage, thereby reducing variation in the location of one or more positional sensors resulting from a tape drive assembly process.

  • Publication number: 20070285845
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides for a servo-controlled, head actuator design that has low profile characteristics in both the height and width dimensions. The low height allows the actuator to fit into a half-high tape drive form factor. The construction of the actuator, in one embodiment, reduces the width of the tape drive system, and allows the industry standard mounting with the necessary screw length. Additionally, in some implementations, the actuator comprises a smaller, concentrated moving mass coupled with a flexure construction having a narrowed width with added ribs for torsional stiffness. These aspects of the actuator provide a higher second mode of vibration compared to the flexure designs of the prior art. The actuator design includes a coarse actuator assembly for larger movements of the head, and a fine grain actuator, including a voice coil motor, responsive to analysis of servo signals.

  • Publication number: 20070058278
    Abstract: A head actuator design for a low profile tape drive is configured with a damping system for a head suspension system having flexure springs to accommodate a half-high form factor. The damping system employs hall sensors, for example, mounted on the head carriage that moves with the head carriage to provide position signals that are differentiated to form velocity signals used by a servo loop control system to dampen suspension system resonance. A flexible circuit routing is provided that is manageable for half-high form factors by combining the fine positioner loop and course positioner loop into a single loop, and preventing the head flexible printed circuit from contacting a top cover in the routing to a printed circuit board near the top cover.

  • Patent number: 6043953
    Abstract: A tape drive having a novel capstan motor assembly for advancing and rewinding a data tape. The capstan motor assembly according to the present invention includes a motor, a gear assembly and an idler. The gear assembly has a driver gear and a driven gear for transmitting motor torque from the motor to the idler. A portion of the idler is in contact with a capstan belt wheel within the cartridge. The idler rotates the capstan belt wheel, which in turn moves the data tape past the recording area. The gear train allows the motor force to be transmitted to the capstan belt wheel without slippage between the drive roller and the idler normally occurring in conventional capstan motor assemblies.
