Abstract: A drive controller associated with a data storage medium may receive a command from a host to write a set of data to a storage space of the data storage medium. The drive controller may determine that insufficient space is available in a cache space of the data storage medium to write the set of data to the cache space and may dynamically convert an available portion of the storage space into a dynamic cache space associated with the cache space. The dynamic cache space may remain visible to the host as the available portion of the storage space. The drive controller may then write the set of data to the cache space and report to the host that the set of data is written to the storage space of the data storage medium.

Abstract: An optical platform assembly may include a head with a scan mirror; a body with an optical module to detect a hard body object; and a rotary connector that attaches the head to the body of the optical platform assembly. In some instances, the rotary connector may allow the head to rotate about the body, where the body is mounted and stationary to the surface. The optical body may be configured to detect for specific hard body objects, such as periscopes.
