  • Patent number: 8675303
    Abstract: A method is provided to handle portable cassettes removeably disposed in a data storage library, wherein the method supplies a data storage library comprising a plurality of storage slots, and a plurality of portable cassettes removeably disposed a designated storage slot in a first alignment order, and a pass-through accessor comprising a moveable fixturing apparatus to store portable cassettes, wherein the pass-through accessor is moveably disposed in the data storage library. The method positions the pass-through accessor adjacent an open end of a designated storage slot, and sequentially removes and attaches to the fixturing apparatus a plurality of portable cassettes from the designated storage slot. The method then transports the plurality of portable cassettes to a designated location within the data storage library.

  • Patent number: 8483868
    Abstract: A method to audit portable cassettes removeably disposed in a data storage library comprising a plurality of storage slots, a plurality of portable cassettes removeably disposed in one or more of said plurality of storage slots, and a pass-through accessor comprising a moveable fixturing apparatus, wherein the pass-through accessor is moveably disposed in said data storage library. The method disposes the pass-through accessor adjacent a first one of said plurality of storage slots, removes a first portable cassette from the first storage slot, and attaches the first portable cassette to a first fixturing assembly disposed on the fixturing apparatus. The method then removes a second portable cassette from the first storage slot, and attaches the second portable cassette to a second fixturing assembly disposed on the fixturing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20110276843
    Abstract: A method for intelligently reporting errors is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an error and determining whether the error belongs to an error group. Such an error group may include errors that together are an indicator of a potentially more serious error or condition. The method may further determine whether all errors in the error group have occurred within a specified time period. If all errors in the error group have occurred within the specified time period, the method automatically sends a notification to an administrator or other hardware or software-based system so that the problem or error can be addressed. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20090187818
    Abstract: Tracking web page comments on a computer includes storing comments on the web page and rendering the stored comments on a next draft site web page, in accordance with comment tracking policies. The comment tracking is accomplished by storing comments on the web page, upon receiving a uniform resource locator to a draft site, then loading the draft web site into an inline frame object on an application web site and loading content of the draft web site into a portion of the application web site. After loading the content, comments are drawn on a z-layer on top of a page of the drawn draft web site, by the application web site, using a scripting language; implemented by the application web site, in accordance with stored comment tracking policies. The scripting language comments and their memory locations are transmitted back to the network server.

  • Publication number: 20090094336
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program code which monitors a group of networked computers by notifying a central apparatus or database of the current state of each of the computers. The monitoring is achieved through software and hardware which obtains the state of each of the networked computers, determines if a new computer has been connected to the network, sets a state for each new computer and determines if any one of the networked computers has not notified the database of its current state within a prescribed interval of time. The hardware and software also determines if any one of the networked computers is in an inactive state, if any one of the networked computers has changed its state to inactive and updates the database to reflect the current state of each of the networked computers. A list of users is notified of the state of each computer, along with the reason for any change in state of each computer.
