ARCHIVAL DATA STORAGE LIBRARY
An archival data storage system library includes magnetic-recording disk media, a storage enclosure in which the media are housed, data storage devices (DSDs) configured to write to and read from the media, an automated disk handling mechanism configured to transfer at least some of the media between the storage enclosure and the DSD, and a hermetic enclosure containing the foregoing components. The storage system may further include a gas circulation system for filtering contaminants from the hermetic enclosure. Such a storage system may be implemented as a rack-mountable unit, or as an entire cleanroom facility, as well as in intermediate form factors between those. In the context of a cleanroom storage system, the system may further include an automated disk handling shuttle to receive the media from the disk handling mechanism and an automated disk loading mechanism for accessing the media from the shuttle for installing into the DSD.

Electronic module ejecting mechanism and portable electronic device thereof
An electronic module ejecting mechanism includes a frame, a door pivoted to the frame, a rod, a sliding sheet slidably disposed on the door, a swing sheet, and a button connected to the sliding sheet. An electronic module is inserted into an opening of the frame. The rod is slidably disposed in the frame and has groove and bending ends. The swing sheet is pivoted to the sliding sheet and has a latch end for inserting into the groove end when the sliding sheet slides to a lock position. When the latch end is inserted into the groove end and the swing sheet swings to an expanding position with opening of the door, the latch end pulls the groove end to make the bending end push the electronic module to partially protrude from the opening. When the door continues opening outwardly, the latch end is separate from the groove end.
EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a casing and a moveable plate. The moveable plate disposed at the outside of the casing via the hinge. The moveable plate is selectively moved toward or away from the casing.
Opening/closing mechanism for rotary cover
A rotation cover opening/closing mechanism includes a transparent plate-shaped cover, a shaft body, and a turning mechanism. The cover closes an opening portion formed in a part of an upper surface of device body. One end of the shaft body is perpendicularly fixed to the cover, and at least a part of the shaft body at the other end of the shaft body is inserted into the device body. The turning mechanism rotatably supports the shaft body inside the device body to allow turning of the cover around the shaft body in a plane parallel with the upper surface of the device body. The turning mechanism includes a limitation portion that limits a rotation angle of the shaft body to a fixed range such that the cover turns between a cover closing position where the cover closes the opening portion, and a cover opening position where the cover opens the opening portion.
Media playback apparatus and shutter mechanism
A cam projection sliding in a cam slot of an arm causes the arm to proceed to an arm when a shutter is in the closed position or the open position and to recede from the arm when the shutter is sliding between the open position and the closed position. A spring is thereby considerably displaced, providing a satisfactory operation of the shutter.
Media playback apparatus and shutter mechanism
An arm (5) is provided with protrusions (56a, 56b) disposed between a spring (7) and the arm (5) and biasing the spring (7) away from a shutter (2) when the shutter (2) is disposed at either one of two positions, a closed position and an open position. This prevents natural vibration of the spring (7) due to extension of the spring (7), thereby preventing noise.
MEDIA PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND SHUTTER MECHANISM
A cam projection sliding in a cam slot of an arm causes the arm to proceed to an arm when a shutter is in the closed position or the open position and to recede from the arm when the shutter is sliding between the open position and the closed position. A spring is thereby considerably displaced, providing a satisfactory operation of the shutter.
OPENING/CLOSING MECHANISM FOR ROTARY COVER AND DISK DRIVE DEVICE
A rotation cover opening/closing mechanism includes a transparent plate-shaped cover, a shaft body, and a turning mechanism. The cover closes an opening portion formed in a part of an upper surface of device body. One end of the shaft body is perpendicularly fixed to the cover, and at least a part of the shaft body at the other end of the shaft body is inserted into the device body. The turning mechanism rotatably supports the shaft body inside the device body to allow turning of the cover around the shaft body in a plane parallel with the upper surface of the device body. The turning mechanism includes a limitation portion that limits a rotation angle of the shaft body to a fixed range such that the cover turns between a cover closing position where the cover closes the opening portion, and a cover opening position where the cover opens the opening portion.
EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a casing and a moveable plate. The moveable plate disposed at the outside of the casing via the hinge. The moveable plate is selectively moved toward or away from the casing.
