Quantum Assigned Patent

Quantum Corporation, San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,014,025) developed by Arslan, Suayb S., Sariyer/Istanbul, Turkey, Goker, Turguy, Solana Beach, CA, Lee, Jaewook, Aliso Viejo, CA, and Le, Hoa, Orange, CA, for a “system and method for tape layout optimization.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A tape layout module for determining a tape layout allocation strategy for laying out data on tape, the data being organized into a plurality of fixed-size subdata sets with each of the plurality of subdata sets including a plurality of codeword interleaves, the tape including a plurality of media defect characteristics, includes a tape layout optimization system including a processor that receives information on the plurality of media defect characteristics. The tape layout optimization system determines the tape layout allocation strategy based at least in part on at least one of the plurality of media defect characteristics. Additionally, the tape layout optimization system can determine the tape layout allocation strategy further based on distance spectra between pairs of the plurality of codeword interleaves. Further, the tape layout optimization system can determine the tape layout allocation strategy by selectively utilizing at least one tape layout parameter.”

The patent application was filed on July 20, 2017 (15/655,289).
