Patent number: 10853210Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for storage device health status synchronization. For example, a first health status registry is maintained for a first storage controller at a first storage site. The first storage controller stores storage device health status information of storage devices currently owned by or assigned to the first storage controller within the first health status registry. A second health status registry is maintained for a second storage controller at a second storage site. The second storage controller stores storage device health status information of storage device currently owned by or assigned to the second storage controller within the second health status registry. The first health status registry and the second health status registry are synchronized during operation of the first storage site and the second storage site and/or are merged between the first storage site and the second storage site after disaster recovery.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Daniel Curtis Wilson, Deepan Natesan Seeralan, Kyle Diggs Sterling, Linda Ann Riedle, Loellyn Jane Cassell, Mayank Saxena, Sandeep T.

Patent number: 9933276Abstract: Methods and apparatus disclosed herein implement or otherwise embody a technique that compensates for cyclic position errors in encoder-based position detection, wherein the cyclic position errors arise from the presence of harmonic components in the encoder signals relied upon for position determination. Using position-domain compensation for errors arising in the encoder domain offers computational simplicity and impressive compensation performance, even when compensating for a plurality of higher harmonics in the encoder signals, e.g., third harmonic, fifth harmonic, etc. Consequently, even high-precision position monitoring or control can use relatively inexpensive types of encoders known to output encoder signals having significant harmonic components.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Delta Tau Data Systems, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Wilson, William Olson

Patent number: 7348748Abstract: A system and method for generating a controlled motion path with a machine-tool system having a controller operating in a servo rate. The method includes a first interpolation step, in which a path segment corresponding to a number of servo update periods is calculated. After the first interpolation step, a speed override factor is established. After establishing the speed override factor a second interpolation step occurs, which includes calculating a number of path setpoints for each path segment. The number of servo update periods per path segment may vary over the path.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2006Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Delta Tau Data Systems, Inc.Inventor: Curtis Wilson
