Patent number: 9594628Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing a media cache through the monitoring of operational vibration of a data storage device. In some embodiments, a non-volatile media cache of the data storage device is partitioned into at least first and second zones having different data recording characteristics. Input data are received for storage in a non-volatile main memory of the data storage device. An amount of operational vibration associated with the data storage device is measured. The input data are stored in a selected one of the first or second zones of the media cache prior to transfer to the main memory responsive to a comparison of the measured amount of operational vibration to a predetermined operational vibration threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Segate Technology LLCInventors: Michael J C Toh, WenXiang Xie, Xiong Liu, Timothy Richard Feldman, Paul Michael Wiggins, Gregory Paul Moller

Publication number: 20070069968Abstract: An omni-directional loop antenna for radiating an electromagnetic signal from a signal source includes a differential feed and at least six radiating elements. The differential feed generates a first signal feed and a second signal feed. The radiating elements include at least three evenly-numbered radiating elements and at least three oddly-numbered elements. Each of the evenly-numbered radiating elements is coupled to the first signal feed and each of the oddly-numbered radiating elements is coupled to the second signal feed. Each of the oddly-numbered radiating elements is reactively coupled to two different ones of the evenly-numbered radiating elements. No two of the first radiating elements are reactively coupled a same pair of second radiating elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2005Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: Paul Moller, Boris Rubinstein

Publication number: 20060264249Abstract: An apparatus for radio frequency testing of a wireless communication device (205) comprising an artificial head (100) and a spacer (203). The artificial head (100) includes a mouth (103) and an ear (105, 107), and the spacer (203) is positioned adjacent to the artificial head (100). The spacer (203) positions an audio output portion of the wireless communication device (205) adjacent to the ear (105, 107) of the artificial head (100), directs an audio input portion of the wireless communication device (205) toward the mouth (103) of the artificial head (100), and separates the audio input portion of the wireless communication device (205) from the mouth (103) of the artificial head (100).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2005Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: Roger Scheer, Scott Bots, Michael Kramer, Eric Krenz, Paul Moller, Stanley Rosa, Matthew Brown

Publication number: 20060204002Abstract: A model hand (120, 700) for use in electromagnetic testing comprising a body (210, 710) and at least one digit (220, 780) extending from a side of the body. For one embodiment, the body (210) has an outer semi-cylinder surface (230) with an arcuate shape and an inner semi-cylinder surface (240) following the arcuate shape of the outer semi-cylinder surface. A digit (220) is coupled at a base end (260) coupled to the side (250) of the cylindrical body (210) to permit pivotal motion of the digit relative to the cylindrical body. For another embodiment, the body (710) has a palm-like shape with four static digits (740-770) affixed at one end to the palm-shaped body. In addition to the four static digits (740-770), a dynamic digit (780) extends from the body (710) and couples to the body to permit pivotal motion of the digit relative to the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2005Publication date: September 14, 2006Inventors: Paul Moller, Eric Krenz, Roger Scheer, Matthew Brown, Michael Kramer

Publication number: 20060128316Abstract: Model human hands (902) for use in electromagnetic (e.g., microwave and RF) testing comprise a skeleton (1200, 104) of dielectric tubes (142, 148, 166, 170, 174, 178, 206, 208, 210, 1202, 1212, 1214, 1216, 1228, 1230, 1236, 1240, 1242, 194, 195, 196) inside a glove (908) that is filled with a fluid that has electrical properties that match that of a typical human hand at a particular frequency. According to certain embodiments the model hands comprise thumbs (193, 1236) that are located out of a plane of palms of the model hands. According to one embodiment the dielectric tubes are pivotally coupled to each other and biasing means (181,702) are provided to bias the hand into a gripping position so that the model human hand is able to grip different types of wireless communication devices (802) in different ways.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: June 15, 2006Inventors: Paul Moller, Boris Rubinstein

Publication number: 20050206550Abstract: A radio frequency anechoic test chamber (100) includes a test stand (118) that includes a relatively small diameter, mechanically robust, telescoping lower vertical support column (202), a large diameter thin walled middle vertical support column (204) that includes a sheet or coating of absorbing material (224) disposed proximate the circumference of the thin walled middle support column, (204) and an upper support member (206). The radio frequency anechoic test chamber provides improved ripple performance that allows more accurate measurements of the gain pattern of radio frequency equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventors: Paul Moller, Eric Krenz, James Phillips, Hugh Smith

Patent number: 6757781Abstract: A method and system for managing the transfer of data into and out of a buffer in a disc drive is disclosed. The operation of the vectored buffer management (VBM) system is administered by a software-based control module. The control module creates and maintains a buffer table by dividing the buffer table into buffer sectors. The buffer sectors are further arranged into buffer segments, or circularly linked lists upon which the buffer table is partitioned. The control module effectuates the transfer by implementing an application module across the buffer table. Once the application module is arbitrarily positioned at an index sector by the control module, data transfer is accomplished when the application module walks through a particular buffer segment identified by the index sector. Specific control of the application module across a buffer segment is administered through host and disc address pointers, which are coupled to host and disc next pointers, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Steven Scott Williams, Brett Alan Cook, Gregory Paul Moller, Jonathan Williams Haines
