  • Publication number: 20150049453
    Abstract: An organizer and/or wire management apparatus generally comprises an elongate support member having a channel and a resilient coaxial strip or member. The support member can additionally have holder attachments from one to a plurality according to user needs or desires. The holder attachments can be permanently joined or mutually engaged and disengaged with the use of a holder attachment mechanism and located according to user preference. The holder attachment mechanism can be joined to any kind of holder that can be supported by such mechanism and apparatus. The elongate support member can be supported in a variety of different orientations including but not limited to horizontally and vertically. Or, the elongate support can be in a freestanding arrangement to become an independent freestanding organizer or assist organizing in proximity of a structure such as a desk or entertainment center.

  • Patent number: 7963593
    Abstract: An organizer and utility apparatus that can be attached to a chair comprises a generally horizontal elongate support which can be in the form of a tube or channeled block. The elongate support has one or more holder attachments that can be joined in a permanent fashion or mutually engaged and disengaged and located according to user preference. The elongate support can be supported directly on a desk, or with an attachable generally vertical support, supported above a floor or desk; Or with such attachable vertical support, engaged to a chair that has a chair attachment mechanism. If the organizer is either freestanding or attached to a chair, it can be converted into a work station by the use of an engageable plane-attachment accessory. If free standing, the vertical support is attached to a stand base. An embodiment of the apparatus has a wire conduit that permits electrical and electronics wire protection and management.

  • Publication number: 20050243456
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing head amplitude characterization using gain loops is disclosed. A variable gain amplifier (VGA) receiving input signals and generates a VGA output signal. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit provides a desired input signal to the VGA and a gain control loop drives the VGA to gain lock the VGA to the provided desired input signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides a digital output representing an ADC code spread in response to the VGA output. A controller drives the DAC to provide the desired input signal to the VGA and generates control signals for controlling the ADC, the controller further determines read head channel amplitude based upon the signal provided to the DAC, the ADC code spread received from the ADC and gain code provided by the gain control loops.

  • Publication number: 20050213238
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing head amplitude characterization is disclosed. A DAC is used to apply known signals to a variable gain amplifier in the front end of a read channel. The signal is processed through the read channel and at the output of an ADC, the signal is read and used to determine the input channel amplitude. Knowing the amplitude of the two input signals, the ADC code spread and the two VGA gain codes, an equation is generated for determining the amplitude of a head.
