Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for testing performance of a disk drive in a digital home communications terminal. In one such method, the steps comprise: measuring at least one time for data transfer of a group of sectors on the disk drive; and providing the time to a server over a communications channel. In another method, the steps comprise: downloading a disk drive performance test application from a server over a communication channel; executing the test application to measure at least one time for data transfer of a group of sectors on the disk drive; and reporting the time to the server over the communication channel.

Abstract: An expandable braided sleeve having an acrylic resin coating on its individual filaments. The braided sleeve can be expanded by pushing its ends inwardly toward each other. The resin coating on the filaments of the braided sleeve creates friction that causes the expanded braided sleeve to retain its expanded shape even when the ends of the sleeve are released. This makes it easier to install the braided sleeve onto a wire bundle. Once the expanded braided sleeve is in place over the wire bundle, the ends of the sleeve are pulled apart to return the sleeve to its narrow or unexpanded shape. The increased friction provided by the resin coating has the further effect of avoiding fraying at the ends of the braided sleeve.
