  • Data archive system, data recording/reproducing apparatus and data library apparatus
    Patent number: 9189324
    Abstract: In a data recording and reproducing apparatus that includes a host computer and a drive in order to improve data reliability, in data recording, the host computer appends a first error correction code to the data and the drive appends a second error correction code to the data. When a failure has occurred in error correction performed by the drive using the second error correction code, the drive reads out the first error correction code and performs error correction using the first error correction code. Since error correction using the first error correction is possible even when error correction using the second error correction code ends in failure, the reliability of data is improved.

  • PULSATION DAMPER
    Publication number: 20150260182
    Abstract: A high-pressure pump has an elastic member arranged in a damper chamber between a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm. The elastic member is always in contact with both diaphragms while the high-pressure pump is operated. When the diaphragms are further vibrated due to a resonance under a situation where a frequency of the pressure pulsation of low-pressure fuel is in agreement with the characteristic frequency of the diaphragms, the elastic member restricts the deformation of the diaphragms. Therefore, the resonance of the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm can be restricted.
