A method for determining storage medium transfer rate characteristics. A host computer system issues a sequence of read commands to a storage medium to determine an accurate mapping of differences in transfer rate characteristics. For example, the host issues a sequence of relatively large reads to the storage medium at successively higher logical cluster numbers (LCNs). The host waits for each read command to complete before issuing the next read command and tracks a time interval that is representative of the time between completions of read commands.

A method, system, and apparatus for improving performance when retrieving data from one or more storage media. Files to be stored on the one or more storage media are classified into a ranking of different sets. Differences in retrieval value of different regions of the one or more storage media are exploited by selecting which files to store in which regions. For example, files that have a higher classification are stored in regions with faster retrieval values. The files can be classified based on frequency of access. Thus, files that are more frequently accessed are stored in regions that have a faster retrieval value. The files can be classified by another measure such as priority. For example, the classification for some or all of the files can be based on user-assigned priority. The classification may be based on events or data grouping.

A method for allocating storage memory space is provided. The method involves receiving a request for storage memory allocation for a file of a current size; estimating a future size of the file, different than the current size of the file, based at least on a particular attribute associated with the file; and causing allocation of storage memory space for storage of the file based on the future size of the file.

A dispenser is disclosed for ejecting space vehicles from a launch vehicle. The dispenser includes an inverted outer truncated cone and an upright inner truncated cone positioned within the outer cone and connected thereto at lower end portions thereof. The cones are mounted on the launch vehicle. The dispenser also includes a mounting platform secured to the outer cone and inner cone at upper end portions thereof. Hinges detachably pivotally mount the space vehicles on the mounting platform, and separation nuts and bolts releasably secure the vehicles to the platform. Spring actuators mounted in the platform provide pivoting of all or any individual vehicle relative to the mounting platform resulting in separation and ejection of the vehicles from the launch vehicle.

A gyro isolation assembly (10) is provided including a cradle (24) having a base (26) and a plurality of reinforcement wall portions extending therefrom (28, 30). A first bracket (50) is provided for supporting a first end of the cradle (24) in a suspended manner and a second bracket (50) is provided for supporting a second end of the cradle (24) in a symmetrical suspended manner. The center of the cradle assembly is attached to the mounting surface, forming the primary fixed attach point (43). Each end is then attached to the surface via the brackets (50) that allow compliance in one direction, but are stiff in the other two directions. A mounting structure (12) is provided for supporting a gyro therein. The mounting structure is suspended between the reinforcement wall portions (28) of the cradle (24). A plurality of isolators (34) are disposed between the mounting structure (12) and the cradle (24).
