Filed:

Oct 6, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/413667

Inventors:

John J. Seliskar - Northglenn CO
Verne Hornback - Troutdale OR
David Daniel - Vancouver WA

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H01L 21336

US Classification:

438283, 438213, 438589, 438157

Abstract:

A short vertical channel, dual-gate, CMOS FET is fabricated by forming a plurality of channel segments in a starting material that extend longitudinally between source and drain areas. The channel segments are laterally separated from one another by spaces and are preferably formed from pillars of starting material located between the spaces. The pillars are laterally oxidized and the oxidation is removed to reduce the width of the pillars and form the channel segments. A gate structure is formed in the spaces between the channel segments. The width of each pillar is defined by conventional, contemporaneous photolithographic exposure and etching, but the width of each channel segment is substantially less than the width of the etch resistant barrier created photolithographically. The relatively narrow channel widths allow fully-depleted and fully-inverted conductivity characteristics which enhance the conductivity characteristics of the FET despite its reduced size, without silicon on insulator (SOI) constructions or epitaxial substrates.

International Classification:

G11B 500

US Classification:

360 76

Abstract:

It is difficult to read data from curved helical data tracks in a helical scan tape drive. Curved helical tracks can be caused by improper tape tension, tape damage, tape path misalignment, tape head offset between different head systems, and debris. The present invention solves the problem of recovering data from curved helical tracks by providing a table of different curve offset signals. Each curve offset signal represents a curve track profile of a typical curved track. The position of the helical read head reading a curved data track is controlled as a function of one of the curve offset signals such that the read head is positioned properly with respect to the helical data track to provide a proper read back signal. The curve offset signals are selected one at a time to control the position of the helical read head until the helical read head provides a proper read back signal.

International Classification:

G11B 1546

US Classification:

2423344, 2425342, 2425632, 360 71

Abstract:

A method for detecting slippage in a tape path, and re-calibrating a sensing assembly in a tape storage device to account for the slippage. The method includes sensing a position of one of a supply reel and a take-up reel. In response to sensing the position of the supply reel or take-up reel, sensing a position of a guide roller. The position of the guide roller corresponds to the position of the guide roller when the position of the supply reel or the take-up reel is sensed. In response to sensing the position of the guide roller, the tape media is wound through the tape path between the supply reel and the take-up reel. In response to winding the tape media through the tape path, a second position of the one of the supply reel and the take-up reel is sensed. In response to sensing the second position of the one of the supply reel and the take-up reel, a second position of the guide roller is sensed. The second position of the guide roller corresponds to the position of the guide roller when the second position of the one of the supply reel or the take-up reel is sensed.

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

710315, 710316, 709250, 370466

Abstract:

A hardware/software system and method that collectively enables virtualization of the host computer's native I/O system architecture via the Internet and LANs. The invention includes a solution to the problems of the relatively narrow focus of iSCSI, the direct connect limitation of PCI Express, and the inaccessibility of PCI Express for expansion in blade architectures.

International Classification:

G06F 13/36

US Classification:

710311, 710312, 710306

Abstract:

A virtualization of the internal interconnection bus, which results in a virtualized switch or virtualized multi-ported bridge. In the case of a PCI Express switch, one embodiment includes virtualization of the undefined interconnection bus. In the case of a Multi-ported bridge, one embodiment includes virtualization of the internal PCI/PCI-X bus. Through virtualization of the internal interconnection bus, the integrated circuit topology (the physical bridges and ports) may advantageously be spatially separated and remotely distributed far a field from the host computer, yet appear to the host system and host system software as single physical device (i. e. a normal PCIe switch or a normal multi-ported bridge).

US Classification:

370388, 370445

Abstract:

A scalable switch, a system of switches and methods, configured to sense a carrier at the output of the respective switch. The invention intelligently, and dynamically, controls the connection of a respective switch input to a respective switch output as a function of a carrier being present, or absent, at a selected output. The present invention provides a switching system that is scalable, and not limited as are Stored Program Control (SPC) type switches.

Abstract:

A scalable switch, a system of switches and methods, configured to sense a carrier at the output of the respective switch. The invention intelligently, and dynamically, controls the connection of a respective switch input to a respective switch output as a function of a carrier being present, or absent, at a selected output. Alternatively, a control plane is adopted to make request to send and acknowledge clearance to send. These control methods operate on a step-by-step manner allowing fast and parallel connectivity to be established to connect a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, PCI, SCSI, and FibreChannels. The present invention reduces switch cost, energy cost, and switch volume, while allowing scalability of connection requirements, reduction of delay, and promotion of green IT.
