intersperse alternately, as of protective covers for book illustrations intersperse the sectors on the concentric magnetic circular patterns written on a computer disk surface to guide the storing and recording of data provide (books) with blank leaves
Interleaving, or the staggering of sectors, gives the hard drive time to read all the sectors it needs to in a single rotation By allowing the drive to read sectors #1, #7 and #13 and then picking up sectors #2 and so on, the drive is able to eliminate wasted rotations
The ability of SONET to mix together and transport different types of input signals in an efficient manner, thus allowing higher-transmission throughput
The transmission of pulses from two or more digital sources in time-division sequence over a single path A data communication technique used in conjunction with error-correcting codes to reduce the number of undetected error bursts
- The arrangement of sectors on a track A 1: 1 interleave arranges the sectors so that the next sector arrives at the read/write heads just as the computer is ready to access it See also interleave factor
Occurs when a drive is set up so that its sectors are not consecutive Interleaves other than 1: 1 were used by older interfaces or drives that could not handle fast seek times
The condition where two or more pulse trains become superimposed in time such that their pulse time spacing can be distinguished and the correct codes established
