  • Publication number: 20150029612
    Abstract: Dual Pass Perpendicular Magnetic Recording is an invention to increase the storage capacity of disk drives and provides faster data transfer when reading data from a disk drive operating in this mode. By using two passes of the recording head to write a data track, more magnetic states are created than in conventional or shingled magnetic recording. This allows a higher storage capacity to be achieved.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system comprised of a bag and computer combination which allows the bag wearer to quickly access and use a computer while mobile. The system can be in three forms and all three are used in the same way: a pivoting cover is moved out of the way to expose a display which pivots into the line of sight of the wearer/operator. When assembled, all the components are physically connected and electrical components are electrically connected. Additional components include a keyboard or write pad mounted on the pivoting cover or on a separate pivoting mount near the center bag front, a display prop which braces the display in various angular positions and side pockets fitted for peripherals. An example is cited using a bag with flap mounts and equipment which mounts to the flaps using clamps.
