Dynamically detecting off-track errors in a disk drive by adjusting transducer head position control parameters in response to shock events. In an embodiment, shock events with large magnitude trigger a severe shock timer which lengthens the write fault before write operations resume. In another embodiment, a lower shock threshold is used following an initial shock event. In yet another embodiment, a lower shock threshold is used if an accumulated average position error of the transducer head is large.

A lighting control system for a space equipped with lamps for illuminating the space comprises a power circuit for supplying power to the lamps, a controllable switch in the power circuit for turning the lamps on and off, an occupancy sensor for detecting motion within the space and generating a motion-detected control signal in response to the detection of such motion, and a timer for measuring a time-out interval following the generation of the motion-detected control signal by the occupancy sensor and producing a time-out control signal in response to completion of the measurement of the time-out interval. A processor receives the control signals from the occupancy sensor and the timer and produces a switch-off control signal for the controllable switch to turn the lamps off in response to the time-out control signal, modifies the time-out interval by a time-out offset value in response to preselected events, counts the number of times the switch-off control signal is produced, without the receipt of the motion-detected control signal, within a predetermined time following the end of the time-out interval, and decrements the time-out interval by the offset value in response to the count reaching a predetermined value.

A method of operating a delay locked loop is comprised of producing a first output signal in response to a first lock point. A new lock point is measured, or otherwise determined, while continuing to produce the first output signal. Thereafter, a second output signal is produced in response to the new lock point. The new lock point data may be loaded into the delay locked loop while the delay locked loop continues to produce the first output signal. The delay locked loop switches from producing the first output signal, responsive to a first lock point, to producing the second output signal, responsive to the new lock point, in response to various conditions such as control signals, e.g. an auto refresh command, a precharge all command, a mode register load command, a power down entry, a power down exit (among others), in response to a timer, e.g., an internal timer (among others), or in response to environmental condition signals, e.g., a temperature sensor output signal (among others). Circuits and systems using the disclosed method are also disclosed. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
