| 20130223197 | LIBRARY APPARATUS - In a library apparatus, it is not considered that eliminated is an operation for reversing a direction of a double-sided readable/writable recording medium. In the library apparatus having a function of transporting and loading a recording medium from a recording medium storage unit to a recording and reproducing unit through a recording medium transportation unit, a direction in which an unrecorded recording medium is first loaded in the recording and reproducing unit is afterward treated as a front surface, and a direction opposite to the above direction is treated as a rear surface. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130258826 | RECORDING/REPRODUCING SYSTEM AND SERVER - A reproducing process of related data is efficiently performed also in a recording medium having recording surfaces at both of front and rear surfaces in a recording and reproducing system including a plurality of recording media. | 10-03-2013 |
| 369300400 | Plural media are discs stored in cartridges | 5 |
| 369300410 | Having specified disc rack | 1 |
| 20120250475 | RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING APPARATUS - A recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a recording medium accommodation table including recording medium accommodation portions each capable of accommodating a recording medium, a recording medium drive unit on which the recording medium is removably mounted and which is capable of performing recording and/or reproduction of an information signal onto and/or from it, a mechanical chassis that supports the recording medium accommodation table to freely rotate and also support the recording medium drive unit to be movable, a drive-moving unit that moves the recording medium drive unit closer to and away from the recording medium accommodation table, and a recording medium transport unit that transports the recording medium between a recording medium mounting and removing position of a recording medium-mounting portion and a recording medium accommodation position of the recording medium accommodation portions. | 10-04-2012 |
| 369300420 | Having particular removable magazine | 1 |
| 20080247279 | EXTERNAL LOAD PORT MAGAZINE AND STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING SAME - An external load port magazine for use with a storage unit includes a casing detachably mountable on an exterior of the storage unit and defining therein a space for holding at least one item to be loaded into the storage unit. An opening is formed in the casing for enabling automatic withdrawal or insertion of the at least one item from or into the space when the casing is mounted on the exterior of the storage unit. A mechanism is provided for moving the at least one stored item towards the opening. | 10-09-2008 |
| 369300430 | Having specified picker | 2 |
| 20100080091 | PASS-THROUGH ACCESSOR COMPRISING A FIXTURING APPARATUS FOR STORING A PLURALITY OF PORTABLE DATA STORAGE CASSETTES - A pass-through accessor comprising a fixturing apparatus that can store a plurality of portable data storage cassettes. The pass-through accessor comprises a moveable gripper assembly comprising a plurality of gripping members. The gripper assembly releaseably attaches to a portable data storage cassette disposed in a storage slot, pulls that portable data storage cassette outwardly from the storage slot, and releaseably attaches that portable data storage cassette to one of a plurality of fixturing assemblies disposed on the fixturing apparatus. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110194386 | LIBRARY APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM EXCHANGING DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM EXCHANGING METHOD - A storage medium exchanging device to discharge a movable cell, which is one of plural magazine cells for storing a storage medium inserted from a doorway, and to store the movable cell, include a carrying part on which the movable cell is mounted; and a wrong insertion preventing part which generates discharging force to make the carrying part discharged from the magazine and blocks at least a part of non-doorway of the discharged movable cell. | 08-11-2011 |
| 369300450 | Picker support structure (i.e., mechanism for moving picker) | 1 |
| 20090262609 | DISC TRANSPORTATION MECHANISM AND DISK PROCESSING DEVICE - A disc transportation mechanism for a disc processing device holds and transports discs by gripping the center hole of the disc. The disc transportation mechanism has a hole position detector and a position adjustment mechanism. The hole position detector detects the position of the center hole in a disc discharged to a disc transfer position from a label printer. The position adjustment mechanism can change the position of the gripping mechanism on the arm. After moving the arm to the disc transfer position, the transportation mechanism control unit controls the arm moving mechanism and/or position adjustment mechanism based on the detected position of the center hole to move the gripping mechanism to a picking position where it can grip the disc. The gripping mechanism can therefore correctly grip the disc even when the disc is not correctly discharged to the disc transfer position, and label damage can therefore be prevented. | 10-22-2009 |
| 369300510 | Plural media are unprotected (i.e., discs that are not in cartridges) | 2 |
| 20090245035 | Disc storage apparatus and disc storage method - A disc storage apparatus includes a disc changer mechanism including a disc slot through which a disc is insertable, a storage section having storage locations that are capable of storing discs inserted through the disc slot, and a transport mechanism that transports the disc, inserted through the disc slot, to any of the storage locations in the storage section. The apparatus further includes an operation section having operations keys; a display section; and a controller that associates, when the disc is inserted and any of the operations keys is operated, the operated operation key with the storage location in which the disc is stored. In accordance with a predetermined operation on the operation section, the controller extracts all discs stored in the storage locations associated with the operated operation key and causes information regarding all the extracted discs to be displayed on the display section. | 10-01-2009 |
| 369300550 | Having specified picker | 1 |
| 20130094336 | MEDIA TRANSPORTATION MECHANISM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MEDIA TRANSPORTATION MECHANISM, AND MEDIA PROCESSING DEVICE - A media transportation mechanism has: a storage unit that stores disc-shaped media with a center hole in a stack; a transportation arm that moves vertically and has a gripping member to hold a medium stored in the storage unit, and a separating member that moves radially to the medium from the hole of the medium; and a transportation arm drive member that sets the ascent speed of the transportation arm to a first speed, and to a second speed that is slower than the first speed, when moving the transportation arm vertically up while the gripping member holds the medium. | 04-18-2013 |
