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.
摘要翻译：存储和检索库具有包括至少一些并排存储单元的存储单元列。具有用于访问并排单元的一侧中的介质的拾取器夹持器的介质存取器可绕枢轴旋转到相对位置，用于访问并排单元的另一侧中的介质。对于多尺寸介质，柱可以具有用于保持大尺寸介质的柱的全宽度的存储单元，并且并排布置的每个用于保持小尺寸介质的第二类型较小单元。介质拾取器具有用于从全宽度单元访问大尺寸介质的第一夹持器和用于从并排单元的一侧访问小尺寸介质的第二夹具。介质拾取器可围绕枢轴旋转到用于第二夹具的相对位置，用于从并排单元的另一侧接近小尺寸介质。

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.
摘要翻译：提供了用于在个人计算机的一个或多个驱动器中处理介质的介质堆叠装载机，其中堆叠装载机插入个人计算机的半槽或全槽（5 + E，fra 1/4 + EE）英寸。堆叠装载机具有与壳体部分成一体的插头部分，插头部分插入插槽中，并且容纳部分容纳包含诸如光盘盒等介质的盒子。堆叠装载机设置有用于在壳体内垂直移动杂志的装置，以使所选择的盒与个人计算机的其中一个驱动器中的开口对准。在墨盒对准之后，使用装置将墨盒水平地移动到驱动器中以进行处理，并且在处理之后用于将墨盒从驱动器中取回到盒中。提供了用于锁定和解锁盒的装置，当需要从盒中取出或将盒子添加到盒子时，操作者将盒卸载。在优选实施例中，堆叠装载机从个人计算机接收其电力，并采用自动转换器控制器，其通过SCSI接口连接到个人计算机的主板上的微处理器。自动转换器控制器操作用于垂直移动盒体并水平移动盒的装置以及操作感测和指示功能。堆叠器使小型用户能够在标准家庭式个人计算机中操作盒式磁带库。

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 rewind tape drive is disclosed for a tape library for rewinding a tape upon a read/write tape drive of the library completing reading and/or writing a tape. In some instances, the tape may be positioned close to the beginning of tape at the completion of reading and/or writing. Thus, the disclosed invention may additionally, upon completion of reading and/or writing a tape, determine whether the time required for the tape drive to rewind the tape exceeds a predetermined time, and transport the tape to the rewind unit only upon exceeding the predetermined time. The predetermined time may comprise the time required for unloading the tape from the read/write tape drive to an accessor, the time required for the accessor to transport the tape to the rewind unit, and the time required to load the transported tape into the rewind unit. A predetermined algorithm may be employed to compare the time required for the tape drive to rewind a tape to the time required for the rewind unit to rewind the tape plus the unload/transport/load time.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于磁带库的倒带磁带驱动器，用于在完成读取和/或写入磁带的库的读/写磁带驱动器上重绕磁带。在某些情况下，在读取和/或写入完成时，磁带可以定位成靠近磁带的开头。因此，所公开的发明可以另外在完成读取和/或写入磁带时确定磁带驱动器重绕磁带所需的时间是否超过预定时间，并且仅在超过预定时间才将磁带传送到重绕单元时间。预定时间可以包括将磁带从读/写磁带驱动器卸载到存取器所需的时间，存取器将磁带传送到重绕单元所需的时间以及将传送的磁带装载到倒带中所需的时间单元。可以采用预定的算法来比较磁带驱动器将磁带重绕所需的时间与倒带单元重绕磁带加上卸载/传送/加载时间所需的时间。
