Filed:

Nov 15, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/990488

Inventors:

Carl I. Green - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711112, 369 14, 369 533

Abstract:

An optical storage drive having a content-based drive-speed variation capability. The optical storage drive contains a drive speed lookup table that stores drive speeds corresponding to file types or groups of file types. For a given file type, a corresponding coded drive speed is provided to the motor control hardware registers. Based upon the coded drive speed provided the drive voltage is limited to produce a desired drive speed. In one embodiment, the optical storage drive may reduce energy consumption by ascertaining the file type to be read and rotating the optical disk at a reduced speed based upon the file type.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 736

Abstract:

A system including a computer can be used to determine if a company is in compliance with a business program. Requirements are identified for the business program, which are mapped to asset types. Each requirement is associated with a phase of the business program. Structural and cultural dimensions are identified. For each combination of requirement/asset in structural and cultural dimensions in a given phase, a maturity level can be determined, which can then be used to determine if the company is in compliance with the business program.
