20160093325 | DYNAMIC GAIN CONTROL FOR USE WITH ADAPTIVE EQUALIZERS - According to one embodiment, a method for processing data includes directing first data through a first FIR gain module in response to a determination that the first data is being read from a magnetic tape medium in an asynchronous mode to control FIR gain of the first data. The method also includes directing second data through a second FIR gain module in response to a determination that the second data is being read from the magnetic tape medium in a synchronous mode to control FIR gain of the second data. Other systems and methods for processing data using dynamic gain control with adaptive equalizers are presented according to more embodiments. | 03-31-2016 |
20160093326 | DYNAMIC GAIN CONTROL FOR USE WITH ADAPTIVE EQUALIZERS - According to one embodiment, a magnetic tape drive includes a controller configured to direct first data through a first finite impulse response (FIR) gain module in response to a determination that the first data is being read from a magnetic tape medium in an asynchronous mode to control FIR gain of the first data. The controller is also configured to direct second data through a second FIR gain module in response to a determination that the second data is being read from the magnetic tape medium in a synchronous mode to control FIR gain of the second data. A FIR gain value of the second FIR gain module is automatically controlled. Other systems for dynamic gain control with adaptive equalizers are described according to more embodiments. | 03-31-2016 |

20100108921 | System and Method for Restricting Access to a Valve - A method and system for restricting access to a valve stern of a valve by employing a valve locking assembly is disclosed. The locking assembly comprises a first means for receiving a valve stem of a valve and an engaging member. The locking assembly additionally comprises a second means for receiving the valve stem of the valve and comprising a slide for engaging the engaging member of the first means, the slide having a first length along an outer periphery of the second means and a second length intersecting the first length such that the second length is shorter than the first length. The locking assembly additionally comprises a third means for releasably securing the second means in position about the valve stem of the valve, wherein the first means is capable of being positioned over the second and the third means about the valve stem. | 05-06-2010 |

20150262100 | USE OF POLYGON LOADING AREAS FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF FIELD DISPATCH IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SETTING - A dispatch system and method for a dispatch coverage region including a set of dispatch assignment areas (DAAs), wherein the shape of the DAAs are based on at least a first aspect of the dispatch coverage region, e.g. the physical wiring distribution. The system includes a geographic zone where the shape of the geographic zone is based on at least a second aspect of the dispatch coverage region different from the first aspect, e.g. special authorized access or logistical continuity. The geographic zone overlaps a DAA to define an overlapping area. The system also includes a set of technician profiles, where a first technician profile identifies a preferred geographic zone and a second technician profile identifies a preferred DAA. The system or method recommends assigning a job request that includes a location residing in the overlapping area to the first technician profile when the preferred geographic zone matches. | 09-17-2015 |
