摘要： A double storage multi-carousel recordable media library is provided which includes a plurality of vertically stacked carousels mounted for rotation about a vertically extending central axis. Each carousel has a plurality of receptacles which are angularly spaced about the central axis, each receptacle being capable of storing a pair of recordable media disks. Each carousel has a large peripheral cutout which is located between a pair of receptacles for allowing passage of the disks and each receptacle has a smaller peripheral cutout for allowing movement of a transport device. Each carousel cutout is capable of alignment along a transport axis which is parallel to the central axis so that a disk can be transported vertically therealong. A disk chucking device is mounted for receiving and releasably retaining disks which are moved vertically along the transport axis. A transport device is movable vertically along the transport axis and can pass through any receptacle cutout for removing a pair of disks from a receptacle when the receptacle is aligned with the transport axis. A drive device may be mounted on the transport device for processing a bottom side of either one of the disks. If the bottom disk is to be processed, both disks stay on the transport/drive device. If the top disk is to be processed, it is temporarily chucked out the top of the library while the bottom disk is rotated out of the way. The transport/drive device then retrieves the top disk for processing. By a special mechanical arrangement, the carousels can be accurately positioned for processing the disks even though the carousels are rotated by ordinary motors.
摘要翻译：提供了一种双存储多转盘可记录介质库，其包括多个垂直堆叠的转盘，其安装成围绕垂直延伸的中心轴线旋转。每个转盘具有围绕中心轴线成角度间隔的多个插座，每个插座能够存储一对可记录介质盘。每个转盘具有大的外围切口，其位于一对允许盘通过的容器之间，并且每个容器具有较小的外围切口，用于允许运输装置的移动。每个圆盘传送带切口能够沿着平行于中心轴线的输送轴线对准，从而可以沿着圆盘方向垂直运送。安装盘式夹紧装置用于接收和可释放地保持沿着输送轴线垂直移动的盘。输送装置可以沿输送轴线垂直运动，并且当容器与输送轴对准时，可以穿过任何容器切口以从容器中移除一对盘。驱动装置可以安装在传送装置上，用于处理任一个盘的底侧。如果要处理底部磁盘，则两个磁盘将停留在传输/驱动设备上。如果要处理顶部磁盘，则会在底部磁盘旋转的同时将其临时夹在磁带库的顶部。运输/驱动设备然后检索顶部的磁盘进行处理。通过特殊的机械布置，即使旋转盘由普通电动机旋转，也可以精确地定位转盘以处理盘。

摘要： A file management system facilitates both physical and logical file groupings with convenient access to surplus media for sub-volume expansion. Each item of media includes a local file directory, which provides a list of files stored on the medium, cross-referenced to the files' addresses on the medium. The media items are organized as one or more primary sub-volumes, an auxiliary sub-volume, and a media reservoir. Each primary sub-volume preferably comprises a single sub-directory, and includes one or more media items used to store files of a specific class. Initially each primary sub-volume includes a single piece of media. The library also includes at least one auxiliary sub-volume, which may include multiple sub-directories, to store leftover files that do not fall under classes corresponding to the primary sub-volumes. Files may be stored on the auxiliary sub-volume on a random, "space available" basis. A media reservoir includes a bank of new, erased, or re-formatted media items available for individual inclusion into the primary and auxiliary sub-volumes as these sub-volumes expand.

The media device may face the travel of an accessing mechanism such that a holder in accessing mechanism loads a cartridge onto the media device while the holder is situated at the media device. Interlock means prevent the removal of cartridges while the accessing means holder is active in an IO range of the receptacles. Moving the accessing means out of the IO range of receptacles, such as to the media device, enables manual insertion and removal of cartridges. A plurality of the cartridges are kept in respective slots of the cassettes. These cassettes are removably inserted into respective ones of the receptacles. Insertion and removal of cartridges is via manually removing a cassette from its receptacle, changing any cartridges, then returning the cassette, or a replacement, into its receptacle. Each slot of each receptacle in the IO range provides for cartridge input-output as well as long-term storage of cartridges therein. Manual requests for changing cartridges are honored during data processing. In response to a request, the holder is move out of the IO range and kept outside of the IO range. The cartridges are exchanged. Then a manual indication is given that the cartridge changing is complete. An automatic inventory of the removed cassettes ensues followed by usual data processing.

摘要： A single accessing mechanism is deployed adjacently to two optical media libraries. Each library has a plurality of record medium storage compartments arranged respectively into a one-compartment wide column. Each library has its own media drive (player or recorder). An accessing module in the accessing mechanism is movable along the column lengths. The accessing module has two transfer compartments respectively for transferring record media in respective ones of said libraries between the respective storage compartments and the respective media drives. The compartments, either in the accessing module or the library, are vertically offset. A vertical space between vertically adjacent record media enables a fetching apparatus to simultaneously enter such space in both libraries. Moving the accessing module upward or downward respectively selects the record medium to be fetched--in only one of the two libraries.

摘要： A file management system for accessing mass storage systems, employing a compressed common file directory ("CCFD") that occupies a minimum amount of storage space. The CCFD is implemented in a storage system including a library of media, one or more storage drives that may be permanently or selectively coupled to the media, and a controller connected. Each piece of media includes a local file directory, which contains a listing of the files stored on that piece of media cross-referenced to those files' addresses on the media item. The controller contains or has convenient access to the CCFD. When access to a file is desired, the CCFD is used to quickly identify the piece of media containing that file. More particularly, the CCFD includes a first data structure including a list of encoded filenames cross-referenced to a list oil compressed media IDs. Each encoded filename comprises a filename of a file stored in one or more of the media, encoded with a selected encoding scheme. For each encoded filename, the associated compressed media ID comprises an encoded name of a piece of media containing that file. A second data structure includes a list of each compressed media ID cross-referenced to a media location identifier specifying the location of that media item in the library. To access a desired file stored in the library, the file's name is first encoded. Then, the encoded filename is cross-referenced in the first data structure to obtain a compressed media ID. Using the second data structure, the compressed media ID is used to determine the media's location identifier. The media location identifier is then used to locate the media containing the file. After the media is located and obtained, the media's local file directory is searched to find the desired file's address in that piece of media.
