Technical Examples
- A target is disclosed for use in a tossing game. The target includes a base and a collapsible ladder assembly hingedly connected to the base. The ladder assembly includes a pair of telescoping vertical members and multiple horizontal rungs connected therebetween. A described tossing game system includes a pair of such targets.
- In a disk stand device and a disk storage device for use in compact disks, mini disks and floppy disks, an array of grooves (2) are provided on an upper surface of a pedestal (1) at predetermined intervals (L). When one end of a disk (3) is inserted into the groove (2) upon accommodating the disks (3), a plurality of disks (3) are positioned to overlap with the predetermined intervals (L) therebetween. A title labelled on the disk (3) can be visually recognized through the intervals (L) of the neighboring disks (3). Upon reusing the disk (3), the disk (3) can be taken out of the groove (2) quicky to improve an efficiency at offices in which electronic computers are employed.
- Various apparatus and methods are provided for handling and transporting pairs of gap merge disks. A transfer member is provided in one embodiment which engages the outer perimeter of a pair of disks at three locations. The transfer member is configured to induce an angled tilt to the respective disks such that the bottom perimeter edges of the disks are spaced apart and the top perimeter edges of the disks are in contact. A mandrel is also provided which is configured to engage a pair of disks oriented in this fashion at the center aperture for purposes of transferring the pair of disks from the transport device to a second location for processing or transfer to another processing device.
- A data storage system in which each of a set of disks has a first portion for either popular data or error correction information (parity or Reed-Solomon code symbols) associated with the popular data, and a second portion used for other data. A disk controller connected to the set of disks maintains a first popular data block in the first portion of a first of the set of disks and a second popular data block in the first portion of a second of the set of disks. The system maintains at least two of the disks in an active state. The active disks are selected to insure that any data in the popular data blocks can be determined from data stored in the active disks. An additional disk is maintained in an active state if write access is permitted or if there is an additional popular data block.
- In the invention there is provided a disk brake stack having disks with available wear portions of a first thickness, a second thickness and a third thickness. The disk(s) having an initial available wear portion of a first thickness are of a thickness so that at the first overhaul, the available wear portion of such disks are only partly worn away and disks are about equal to disks having an initial available wear portion of a second thickness. The disks having an initial available wear portion of a second thickness at the first overhaul are only partly worn away and such disks are about equal to the disks having an initial available wear portion of a third thickness. The disks initially having an available wear portion of a third thickness at the first overhaul are substantially fully worn and are replaced by new or refurbished disks having an available wear portion of a first, second or third thickness. Also, the invention comprises a method of assembly and overhaul of a disk brake stack, utilizing disks having available wear portion of a first thickness, a second thickness, and a third thickness.
