NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, July 8, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Staff at 310 Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:TRTN) celebrated the completion of the Company's latest generation of its proprietary, highly effective magnetic media reading technology last night.
John Bordynuik, 310 Holdings Inc. President and CEO said, "We are very excited about the success of our latest tape reading technology, which includes our own custom designed amplifiers, bit detection, de-skewing algorithms, and tape drive control, and use of the latest thin-film head technology. This technology instantly scales from the oldest tape drives to current models, so we can quickly retrofit the latest LTO and DLT drives to recover and migrate data exceptionally quickly and accurately for our clients."
This celebration comes after 310 Holdings Inc. President and CEO John Bordynuik and his staff of engineers had been working around the clock for the last several weeks to complete this project. This technology replaces our previous generation; it completely eliminates the need for us to do all post reading processing of the data. As a result, the raw data is now immediately usable by our Swahili data migration engine and many virtual emulators.
This technology scales from one head to hundreds of heads by increasing the number of parallel bit-detection processors in hardware. It is presently scalable in Altera's high-end Stratix-II, III, and IV "Cray-on-a-chip" FPGAs.
"Our new bit detection technology significantly exceeds the data recovery rate of current enhanced PRML technologies. Our technology can be applied to hard drives, and we plan to explore implementation in that market," said Mr. Bordynuik. "I would like to emphasize that this bit technology is so effective that we do not require and do not use post error-correcting algorithms or routines. We are using this technology in place of original equipment hardware which is unable to accurately detect bits after the media have been shelved for a few years."
This bit detection technology can accurately detect weak bits down to 10 per cent of the signal's original amplitude.
This replaces our original technology which required some post reading.
310 Holdings Inc. will file a patent application to protect this technology.
