Filed:

Jul 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/614859

Inventors:

John R. Stokes - Ogden UT
Michael Dickson - Benson UT
Yiping Ma - Layton UT
Thomas Wilke - Boulder CO

Assignee:

Iomega Corporation - Roy UT

International Classification:

G11C 2900

US Classification:

714719, 360 53

Abstract:

In a magnetic or optical disk drive the integrity of data written on a disk is verified by writing data to a portion of the disk, and immediately reading the data from the disk after it has been written. If there is error in reading the data and/or the data read from the disk is substantially different from the data written to the disk an error condition is generated. The error condition may be reporting the error to the host which decides whether to rewrite the data or immediately rewriting the data without further instructions from the host.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

60416704

Abstract:

An extravascular system may include a fluid path and a gas vent in communication with the fluid path. A method of venting a medical device may include providing a closed extravascular system having a fluid path, providing a gas vent in communication with the fluid path, venting gas from the extravascular system through the gas vent, and maintaining closure of the extravascular system during and after venting.

Filed:

Dec 11, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/209867

Inventors:

Weimin Pan - Layton UT
Allen T. Bracken - Layton UT
John R. Stokes - Ogden UT

Assignee:

Iomega Corporation - Roy UT

International Classification:

G11B 1504
G11B 5596

US Classification:

360 60

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for protecting a disk from overwrites during mechanical shock. If the PES exceeds an off-track threshold for a predetermined number of servo samples, the read/write is suspended for a predetermined duration. The predetermined duration allows for the mechanical shock or disturbance to abate and allows the heads to settle with respect to the track. The off-track threshold being exceeded for several servo samples is used as an indicator of the mechanical force and subsequent undesirable vibration. The writes can then be suspended for the predetermined duration, thereby avoiding overwriting data on adjacent tracks.

International Classification:

A61M 5/32
A61M 25/06
A61M 5/34

Abstract:

A catheter assembly () comprises a catheter (), a needle () having a sharp distal tip, a catheter hub () housing the catheter (), the catheter hub () having a collar () including a notch (), a needle shield () connected to the catheter hub () when the needle () is in a first position, and a clip () disposed in the needle shield () that cooperates with the needle (), wherein the clip () engages the catheter hub () in the first position of the needle (), and the clip () disengages the catheter hub () via the notch () when the needle () is retracted to a second position to cover at least a portion of the needle (). The clip () is mounted in the outer housing () of the needle shield () via a spade () having an outer wall () exposed to the outside of the needle shield (), in order to reduce the overall width of the needle shield ().
