Patent number: 7483342Abstract: An optical storage reconditioning module extends the life of re-writable optical medium, such as DVD+RW optical storage disks, by writing random information to recondition commonly used portions of the optical medium before re-writing information to those portions of the optical medium. For instance, a stored file system structure of an optical medium, such as a Universal Disk Format (UDF) random writable file system, is updated by reading to a buffer the structure from the optical medium, over writing the structure with random information recondition transitions between data points of the structure, updating the file system structure in the buffer and writing the updated file system structure over the random information.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Dean Hendrickson, Hong-Jing (James) Lo, Christiaan Steenbergen

Publication number: 20010032812Abstract: A separation system is disclosed for use with a treatment tank, such as a flotation or decant tank, to separate particles and/or gases from a liquid stream. The system is coupled to a liquid source comprising a suspension solution. The system includes a hydrocyclone system that directs the solution stream through a first chamber or passage in a generally helical fashion along a cylindrical wall where bubbles-to-particle aggregates are formed and chemicals can be mixed and activated. A second chamber encloses the outlet of the hydrocyclone and may take many forms, including a generally concentric or parabolic form, and acts to decelerate the liquid and deliver the liquid to a third chamber from which bubbles escape the liquid. The liquid drops from the third chamber into the treatment tank in a manner which only minimally disturbs the liquid already in the tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2001Publication date: October 25, 2001Inventors: Dwain E. Morse, Wade O. Morse, Thomas G. Matherly, Eddie Dean Hendrickson

Patent number: 6171488Abstract: A fluid conditioning system and method is disclosed for coupling to a first solution source comprising a suspension solution and particles suspended in the suspension solution. The fluid conditioning system includes a containment vessel defining a treatment environment and including a wall defining a fluid passage and having an inlet apparatus. The inlet apparatus is coupled to the solution source for receiving a solution stream and directing the solution stream through the passage helically along the cylindrical wall. The containment vessel includes a sparging apparatus disposed downstream of the inlet apparatus for introducing a gas into the solution stream, and an outlet for discharging the sparged solution stream. The system further includes a flotation tank disposed proximate the containment vessel outlet for receiving the discharged solution stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: ZPM, Inc.Inventors: Dwain E.
