Publication number: 20140228248Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, methods for detecting whether a subject has an infection. These methods include (a) incubating a test sample from a subject suspected of having an infection with a labeled molecule, such as a labeled nucleoside analog, that is preferentially incorporated into a pathogenic microorganism for a period of time sufficient for the pathogenic microorganism to incorporate the labeled molecule; (b) removing any unincorporated labeled molecule from the test sample; and (c) detecting the labeled molecule within the pathogenic microorganism, if any, in the test sample, wherein the presence of labeled molecule within the pathogenic microorganism indicates that the subject has an infection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2012Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: BIOMED VALLEY DISCOVERIES, INC.Inventors: Saurabh Saha, Chetan Bettegowda, David Tung

Publication number: 20140229511Abstract: A metadata management system receives metadata changes and automatically updates a metadata architecture which maps the data. The metadata changes may be received through a simple user interface by a user or administrator. Once received, the system may automatically update schemas and data transformation code to process data according to the new data mapping preference. The system may handle metadata updates in a multi-tenant system having one or more applications per tenant, and may update data for a single tenant and 1 or more tenant applications in a multitenancy.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Inventors: David Tung, Hon Yuk Chan, Ketan Bengali, Sasmita Patra, Ming Chang

Patent number: 7656656Abstract: An enclosure for storage devices having at least one mounting surface and a viscoelastic layer disposed between a first layer and a second layer of the mounting surface. A receiver secured to the mounting surface within the enclosure receives a storage device carrier that retains a disk drive and positions the storage device carrier within the enclosure. Clip-on damped springs, coupled to the storage device carrier, guide the storage device carrier through the receiver and couple the storage device carrier to the mounting surface(s). A bezel of the storage device carrier is configured to receive a key in one of a plurality of key positions, with each key position corresponding to a particular disk drive/enclosure chassis interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald M.

Publication number: 20080218895Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for more precisely adjusting the spacing between a head and a disk in a disk drive device. A spindle motor of a disk drive device may be electrically isolated from at least the base plate by means of, for example, a nonconductive adhesive. Circuitry for monitoring and/or applying a voltage to the head and/or to the disk to control an amount of spacing between the head and the disk may be provided. In certain example embodiments, such circuitry may monitor the disk voltage and then apply an appropriate voltage bias to the head to control the spacing therebetween electrostatically. In certain other example embodiments, such circuitry may monitor the head voltage and then adjust the spindle voltage accordingly. In still other example embodiments, the disk voltage and the head voltage may be controlled and/or adjusted based on a known voltage differential so that a precise disk/head voltage potential is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: SAE Magnetics (H.K.)

Patent number: 7203019Abstract: A latch apparatus is configured to latch an actuator arm assembly that can position a read/write head relative to a data storage disk in a disk drive. The latch apparatus includes a latch arm, a coil, a permanent magnet, and a latch control circuit. The latch arm is configured to be moved between a closed position that inhibits movement of the actuator arm assembly in a landing zone and an open position that does not inhibit movement of the actuator arm assembly in the landing zone. The coil is configured to generate an electromagnetic force on the latch arm responsive to a coil current. The permanent magnet is configured to generate a magnetic force on the latch arm that is substantially opposed to the electromagnetic force from the coil. The latch control circuit is configured to increase according to defined open current profiles over a defined opening time period the coil current to at least an upper defined level to cause the coil to move the latch arm from the closed position to the open position.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Maxtor CorporationInventors: Yanning Liu, Yanchu Xu, Michael McGrath, David Tung, Mark Heimbaugh
