  • Publication number: 20080089190
    Abstract: An automated data storage library, employing storage shelves and data storage drives arranged to “X” and “Y” directions on both sides of an “X” axis, has a plurality of robot accessors configured to move in the “X” direction along one or more “X” rail(s) in separate paths. The robot accessors each have gripper apparatus movable in the “Y” direction and configured to access the storage shelves and the data storage drive(s) in the “Z” direction. The gripper apparatus is configured to pivot about an axis of the robot accessor away from the “Z” direction to provide clearance of the gripper apparatus in the “Z” direction with respect to another robot accessor such that the at least two robot accessors may pass each other in the “X” direction. The gripper may pivot between the “Z” direction and substantially the “Y” direction, or between the “Z” direction and substantially the “X” direction.

  • Publication number: 20050113115
    Abstract: A method for practice in a system in which broadcasts are transmitted from wireless transmitters includes the steps of: receiving with the mobile device broadcasts from the wireless transmitters, wherein each broadcast includes informational content for presentation to a person; selecting a particular broadcast, which includes the steps of determining a proximity indicator for a wireless transmitter from which a broadcast is received, and determining whether the type of the informational content of a received broadcast is presentable according to the preferences profile; and, using the mobile device, presenting to the person the informational content of the selected particular broadcast. Determining a proximity indicator may include: measuring a signal strength; or comparing GPS data related to the position of the mobile device to positional data from the wireless transmitter. In this regard, the positional data may include GPS data related to the position of the wireless transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20050096041
    Abstract: A system for presenting informational content to a person using a mobile device includes: a wireless transmitter that transmits a transmission containing a broadcast; and a mobile device configured to receive the transmission from the wireless transmitter when the mobile device is within a transmission range of the transmitter. In this respect, the transmitter unilaterally transmits the transmission without regard to whether the mobile device actually is within the transmission range of the transmitter. Additionally, the broadcast contained within the transmission includes both informational content for presentation to a person and broadcast-identifying information. Moreover, the mobile device is configured to store therein the informational content for presentation to a person using the mobile device, wherein the informational content is stored in association with the broadcast-identifying information.
