  • Patent number: 6743859
    Abstract: A method of producing polyvinyl alcohol polymer, with which a high-strength polyvinyl alcohol polymer with a high degree of saponification can be obtained, the polyvinyl ester saponification process can be linked directly with the spinning process, in which the polyvinyl alcohol polymer is made into fiber, the mole ratio of alcohol with respect to the polyvinyl alcohol can be freely selected, and the concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol obtained by the saponification reaction is high. The polyvinyl alcohol polymer that is obtained by this method exhibits a high block character value and is excellent in randomness is provided, wherein a polyvinyl ester is subject to a saponification reaction in an alcohol-containing organic solvent under the presence of a saponification catalyst and the saponification is carried out while distilling off the carboxylic acid ester that is produced by the saponification reaction.

  • Patent number: 6301432
    Abstract: A data recording/reproducing apparatus applicable to, for example, an editing system having a plurality of hard disk units arranged to be in parallel operated to record/reproduce a video signal to be capable of recovering abnormal data without any interruption with the operations for recording/reproducing continuous data. The operations of a plurality of data recording/reproducing blocks are managed in time by a time slot to use a period of a blank time slot if an abnormal condition appears in one recording/reproducing block to recover abnormal data with data recorded on another recording/reproducing block.

  • Patent number: 6259386
    Abstract: This invention relates to data input/output apparatus and the like, which are suitable to be applied to an AV server. As nonlinear accessible storage medium, there is provided with HDD array device (13). When a controller (11) of an AV server (10) receives a command for reproducing data from a minimum of two discontinuous areas in the HDD array device (13) in a first order, the HDD array device (13) then puts the command in an order such that a period of time for access is minimal to reads the data so that the read data are rearranged in the first order to be outputted through decoders (15) to (18). Thereby, the efficiency of data transfer is improved without complications.

  • Patent number: 6185368
    Abstract: A data recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing data to and from a plurality of record mediums that are non-linearly accessible is disclosed, that comprises a recording/reproducing portion for recording and reproducing data to the record mediums, and a controlling portion for controlling the recording/reproducing portion, wherein when the controlling portion detects that data recorded on one of the record mediums is not reproduced, the controlling portion detects a blank time period for which a host system has not accessed the data recording/reproducing apparatus, causes the recording/reproducing portion to reproduce the data from reproducible record mediums in the blank time period and error correction data recorded on another record medium, and re-structures data that is not reproduced with data that is reproduced from the reproducible record mediums and the error correction data.
