Archival demands for digital tape storage systems require smaller spacing between data tracks on the magnetic tape to allow for more data storage on a single cartridge. Increasing track density while maintaining track following provides a challenge for the servo control of the tape drive. In particular, interchangeable tape cartridges and time-varying tape reel diameters during operation cause ...

BACKGROUND This study aims to remodel the Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape for the Indian pediatric population. The Broselow tape overestimates the heights of the Indian pediatric population and remits inaccurate predicted weights for all color zones with varying degrees and could result in overresuscitation of Indian children in emergency settings. The Indian children are underweight for thei...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of newly developed nitroglycerine (NTG) tape on the peripheral circulatory disturbance in systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS The finger temperature (FT) of 25 patients with SSc was monitored by thermography before the application of NTG tape to the wrist and one hour afterwards. To check the placebo effect, the change of FT with placebo tape in six patients wh...

This paper presents a novel composite tape-spring that is suitable for use as a structural element of deployable space structures. The tape-spring uses a combination of material orthotropy and prestress to achieve the unique property known as neutral stability. A consequence of this property is that the tape-springs can be partially rolled and they neither want to unroll or rollup. Previously i...

abstract this study was conducted to determine the best drip irrigation method for pepper cultivation with the objective of water saving and obtaining maximum yield. the study was done during two years. experimental design was randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) in split plot with four replications. three different drip irrigation methods; drip irrigation with in-line emitter tubes, drip i...

The design innovations in the IBM 3803 Tape Control Unit and the IBM 3420 Magnetic Tape Unit are discussed. The new design concepts include a full readback parity check, a system of microprogram control that obtains high operating rates through overlap of channel control and motion control functions, a new phase-error detection system, a modified dual-density recording feature and a new interfa...

BACKGROUND Midurethral tapes may cause long-term complications such as voiding dysfunction, groin pain, de novo urgency or mesh erosion, which necessitate a reoperation. There is a paucity of data regarding health related quality of life in patients undergoing tape removal. The aim of the study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and objective outcome after midurethral tape division or excisi...

All tape drives have a buffer memory in which incoming data are stored. When a write command This paper describes a method for fast backups is accepted, as much data as possible is transferred and restores on tape drives. By using a tight into the buffer and the (slower) physical writing synchronization between disk and tape accesses, on the tape starts. When the last byte of data from the tota...

PURPOSE The incidence of pelvic pain after placement of a suburethral sling for incontinence ranges between 0% and 30%. The management of this chronic pain after suburethral sling placement is complex and to our knowledge no consensus has been reached. We evaluated the functional results after removal of the suburethral tape responsible for chronic pelvic pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS From Nove...
