Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a highly available removable media storage network environment employing a medium management system conforming to IEEE standards. SOLUTION: The removable media storage network environment employs a media management system for managing a removable media system on behalf of client applications, and a media management agent to enhance the management of the removable media system by the media management system. The media management agent operates to determine an operational state of the removable media system, and to enhance an availability and performance of the removable media system as managed by the media management system, wherein one or more error recovery techniques are conditionally initiated based on the determined operational state of the removable media system and wherein the media management system is conditionally reconfigured based on the determined operational state of the removable media system.

Abstract:
A horizontally movable slide (64) bears a two section, continuously extending horizontally inclined, steep (66b) and shallow (66a) sloped cam slot controlling the vertical rise and fall of a cam follower (76) driven support fixture (38) for supporting a ceramic green sheet in underlying contact with a stencil mask in an automatic MLC screening machine. An apertured positioning flag (90) moves horizontally with the slide (64) and past a vertical height digital position encoder assembly (100) and a mask separate encoder assembly (102). The positioning encoder assembly (100) provides an electrical signal for controlling an actuator mechanism (80) causing slide movement, indicative of the desired final positioning height of the green sheet relative to the mask when the fixture is moving towards the mask. When the actuator mechanism (80) drives the slide (64) in the opposite direction, to lower the green sheet from the mask, the mask separate encoder assembly (102) produces a signal, in response to common positioning flag movement in the opposite direction with the slide to effect a change in speed of the actuator mechanism. This provides slow initial separation of the green sheet from the mask and final removal of the fixture from screening height, at a much more rapide rate.
