Quantum Assigned Two Patents

Method of total dimensional stability control in magnetic tape system with global calibration data
Quantum Corporation, San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11741993) developed by Goker, Turguy, Oceanside, CA, Peng, James P., Santa Maria, CA, Le, Hoa, Orange, CA, and Almero, Louie, Cerritos, CA, for a “method of total dimensional stability control in magnetic tape system with global calibration data.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method for generating calibration data useful for calibrating a plurality of tape cartridges includes the steps of selecting a subset of tape cartridges from the plurality of tape cartridges, the subset of tape cartridges having fewer tape cartridges than the plurality of tape cartridges, calibrating each of the subset of tape cartridges using a plurality of tape drives to generate global calibration data, selecting one of the plurality of tape cartridges that is not included within the subset of tape cartridges, and calibrating the one of the plurality of tape cartridges using the global calibration data generated via the calibrating of each of the subset of tape cartridges.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-07-27 (17/875182).

Controlling internal temperature of media library
Quantum Corporation, San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11732913) developed by Hald, Bruno, Parker, CO, Rockwell, Scott M., Aurora, CO, and Tindall, III, David, Parker, CO, for “system and method for controlling internal temperature of media library.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A media library includes a library housing, a heat-producing device, one or more storage media and an air mover assembly. The library housing can include a library interior where the library interior can include a first wall and a second wall positioned opposite the first wall. The heat-producing device can be positioned near the first wall of the library interior. The one or more storage media can be positioned in the library interior between the heat-producing device and the second wall. The air mover assembly can be is configured to move air into the library interior through the first wall and out of the library interior through the second wall. The heat-producing device can include one or more of a media drive, a power supply and a controller. The air mover assembly can move air through the heat-producing device before the air moves through the one or more storage media.”

The patent application was filed on 2020-05-07 (16/869460).
