Patent number: 9755570Abstract: The present invention concerns a control system for an electric motor, wherein an operating mode with predetermined value assignments is selected for a parameter set for controlling an electric motor and the pulse frequency of a control signal for the electric motor is set in accordance with the selected operating mode in order thereby to signal to the electric motor the selected value assignments for the parameter set.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: HKR SEUFFER AUTOMOTIVE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Christian Jelenowski, Martin Wucherer

Patent number: 8016221Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for dynamic tape stick and tape break detection. A first counter increments a first count and resets a second count in response to a sensor pulse from a first sensor of a first tape servo. A second counter increments the second count and resets the first count in response to a sensor pulse from a second sensor of a second tape servo. A detection module detects either the first count or the second count exceeding an error threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nhan Xuan Bui, Reed Alan Hancock, Eiji Ogura, Kazuhiro Tsuruta

Patent number: 7114673Abstract: A stop command detecting unit detects an operation transition from fast forwarding/rewinding modes to a stop mode, a take-up side reel braking unit and a supply side reel braking unit start a braking operation based on the stop command, and a driving motor of the take-up side reel is driven at a specified current value set by a motor current value setting unit for a specified time set by a current adding time setting unit to provide the take-up side reel with rotary torque in the winding direction. Hence, the supply side reel rotates together with the take-up side reel until the supply side reel is stopped, thereby preventing occurrence of a slack on the tape.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2003Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Naohisa Tanabe

Patent number: 6450431Abstract: A method for preventing a reverse connection between a takeup leader connected to a single reel tape drive and a tape cartridge leader connected to a magnetic tape media contained in a single reel tape cartridge that is loadable into the tape drive. The method comprises detecting a missed connection between the takeup leader and the tape cartridge leader following a failed load operation. The load operation includes loading the tape cartridge into the tape drive, connecting the takeup leader and tape cartridge leader, and winding the tape media to the read position. In response to detecting the missed connection, a torque is applied to the takeup leader to retain it in a loaded position away from the tape cartridge leader while the tape cartridge is ejected from the tape drive. In response to ejecting the tape cartridge from the tape drive, the takeup leader is reset to the unloaded position for a subsequent loading operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Benchmark Storage Innovations, Inc.Inventor: James Zweighaft

Patent number: 6257515Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus feeds magnetic tape from a supply reel to a take-up reel driven by a motor. Sensors generate signals responsive to each revolution of the supply reel and to the rotation of the motor. An end-of-tape detector counts the number of motor-sensor signals per revolution of the supply reel, and thereby detects the approaching end of the magnetic tape, so that the motor can be slowed before the end of the tape is reached. A detection threshold may be selected or computed in advance by using information provided by a third sensor, which generates a signal responsive to each revolution of the take-up reel.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazunori Fukuda, Kazuo Ueo

Patent number: 6186430Abstract: A sensing assembly for use in determining if magnetic tape within a single reel tape cartridge properly connects to a takeup reel within a tape drive during loading of the tape cartridge, so that the magnetic tape can be wound between the tape cartridge and the tape drive as data is transferred to or from the magnetic tape. The sensing assembly comprises at least one sensing apparatus for providing feedback on connection status to prevent connection failures from rendering the tape drive inoperable.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1999Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Benchmark Tape Systems CorporationInventor: James Zweighaft
