摘要： A media stackloader processes removable data storage media such as optical disks, magnetic diskettes, or tape media. The stackloader removably couples to a storage drive, such as by plugging into a slot of the host computer. The stackloader has a plug portion integral with a housing portion, the plug portion plugging into the host computer and the housing portion housing a magazine containing the removable media. The stackloader includes a device for moving the magazine vertically within the housing to align selected cartridges with an opening in one of the drives of the personal computer. After the cartridge is aligned, a device is employed for moving the cartridge horizontally into the drive for processing and, after processing, for withdrawing the cartridge from the drive back into the magazine. A locking mechanism selectively locks and unlocks the cartridges to prevent improper removal of cartridges from the magazine. Another aspect of the invention includes a method for operating a media stackloader, supporting operations needed to add new cartridges to a magazine, remove existing cartridges, read data from a cartridge, write data to a cartridge, audit the status of cartridges in a magazine, and aid the operator in exchanging mounted magazines and cartridges with different, un-mounted magazines or cartridges.

摘要： A media stackloader for processing media in one or more drives of a personal computer is provided where the stackloader plugs into a half slot or full slot (51/4) inch of the personal computer. The stackloader has a plug portion which is integral with a housing portion, the plug portion plugging into the slot and the housing portion housing a magazine which contains media, such as optical disk cartridges. The stackloader is provided with a device for moving the magazine vertically within the housing to align selected cartridges with an opening in one of the drives of the personal computer. After the cartridge is aligned, a device is employed for moving the cartridge horizontally into the drive for processing and, after processing, for withdrawing the cartridge from the drive back into the magazine. A device is provided for locking and unlocking the cartridges, the operator unlocking the cartridges when it is desired to remove from or add cartridges to the magazine. In the preferred embodiment the stackloader receives its power from the personal computer and employs an autochanger controller which is connected to a microprocessor on the mother board of the personal computer via a SCSI interface. The autochanger controller operates the devices for vertically moving the magazine and horizontally moving the cartridges as well as operating sensing and indicating functions. The stackloader enables a small user to operate a mini-library of cartridges in a standard home type personal computer.

摘要： The present invention provides a retainer system of an automated storage and retrieval system, or library, which prevents information storage elements, or cartridges, from escaping from their respective storage cells when the entire library is transported from one location to another. The retainer system comprises a retractable cable, a null, or dummy, cartridge, and an array of storage cells. One end of the retractable cable is attached to the null cartridge and the other end of the cable is affixed to one end of the array of storage cells. Initially, the null cartridge is positioned in a storage cell located adjacent to the end of the storage array where the cable is affixed. When all the information storage elements are placed inside their respective storage cells within the array, the null cartridge is moved from its original position to a storage cell at the opposite end of the storage array. As the null cartridge is moved, the cable is extended across the front opening of all the intermediate storage cells between the initial storage cell adjacent to the affixed end of the cable and the final storage cell at the opposite end of the storage array. Extending the cable across the front opening of the storage cell holds the information storage element within the storage cell and prevents its escape during the transportation of the library.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种自动化存储和检索系统或库的保持系统，其在整个库被从一个位置传送到另一个位置时防止信息存储元件或盒从其各自的存储单元逸出。保持器系统包括可收回的电缆，空的或虚拟的盒，以及一组存储单元。可收缩电缆的一端连接到空盒，电缆的另一端固定在存储单元阵列的一端。最初，空盒被定位在与电缆固定的存储阵列的端部相邻的存储单元中。当所有信息存储元件都放置在其阵列内各自的存储单元中时，空盒被从其原始位置移动到在存储阵列的相对端处的存储单元。当空盒被移动时，电缆在与电缆的固定端相邻的初始存储单元和存储阵列的相对端处的最终存储单元之间跨越所有中间存储单元的前开口延伸。将电缆延伸穿过存储单元的前开口，将信息存储元件保持在存储单元内，并在库的运输过程中防止其脱离。

摘要： A media stackloader processes removable data storage media cartridges containing optical disks, magnetic diskettes, or tape media. A moveable rail on the stackloader locks cartridges in the stackloader. The rail is pivotable on the stackloader to permit access to a cartridge so that the rail can be pivoted to a position where the cartridges are locked in the stackloader or to a position where cartridges can be removed and replaced in the stackloader. A locking solenoid engages the moveable rail to permit or prevent pivoting of the rail.

摘要： A storage and retrieval library has a column of storage cells including at least some side-by-side storage cells. A media accessor with a picker gripper for accessing media in one side of the side-by-side cells is rotatable about a pivot to an opposed position for accessing media in the other side of the side-by-side cells. For multi-sized media, a column may have storage cells extending the full width of the column for holding a large sized media, and a second type of smaller cells arranged side-by-side, each for holding a small sized media. A media picker has a first gripper for accessing large sized media from the full width cells, and a second gripper for accessing small sized media from one side of the side-by-side cells. The media picker is rotatable about a pivot to an opposed position for the second gripper for accessing small sized media from the other side of the side-by-side cells.

摘要： A write protection system for machine-readable data storage disks, such as optical disks, of a single or multiple disk cartridge, where write protection of any disk can be individually enabled or disabled while the cartridge is inserted into a disk drive. Separate trays support each of the disks, all trays being housed by a cartridge. When the cartridge is inserted into the disk drive, only a face of the cartridge is exposed. Each tray includes a write protection mechanism positioned near the cartridge face when that tray is housed by the cartridge. Each mechanism provides a user-selectable, machine-readable indication of the protection status of its associated disk. An exemplary mechanism includes a resilient finger, deformably pivotable from a released position to an activated position when a deflection pin is pressed against the finger through an activation hole in the cartridge face. A detente is resiliently urged toward the finger, at an intersecting angle thereto. The detente includes a ramp with a catch facing the finger. As the finger moves from its released position to its activated position, the ramp slidably contacts the finger's tip. The catch maintains the finger in its activated position after the tip slides past the catch. Manually extending a deflecting pin against the detente through a releasing hole in the face pivots the detente away from the finger, causing the tip and the catch to move apart, whereupon the finger's resiliency snaps it back into its released position.
摘要翻译：用于单个或多个磁盘盒的机器可读数据存储盘（例如光盘）的写保护系统，其中当盒被插入到磁盘驱动器中时，可以单独启用或禁用任何磁盘的写保护。单独的托盘支撑每个磁盘，所有托盘由磁带盒容纳。当墨盒插入磁盘驱动器时，只有墨盒的一个面露出。每个托盘包括写入保护机构，该保护机构位于墨盒面附近，当托盘被墨盒容纳时。每个机制提供用户可选择的机器可读指示，其指示其相关联的盘的保护状态。示例性机构包括弹性指状件，当偏转销通过盒面中的激活孔压靠在手指上时，可释放地从释放位置枢转。止动件以与其相交的角度朝向手指弹性地推动。缓冲器包括面向手指的卡扣的斜面。当手指从其释放位置移动到其启动位置时，斜面可滑动地接触手指的尖端。在尖端滑过卡扣后，卡扣将手指保持在其启动位置。通过面中的释放孔手动地将偏转销延伸到止动件上使止动件远离手指转动，使得尖端和卡扣分离，由此手指的弹性将其卡扣回到其释放位置。
