Since I can not find any technical details behind KM I thought I will try to find the actual KM Patent. US Patent Office only provides the abstracts online, one has to send out for the full text which will be sent via snail mail. Anyway, the abstracts of patents assigned to Ampex do not use the word "Keepered", but I came accross this abstract that might beTHE ONE, it goes -

ABSTRACT
The detection and correction of errors in digital data transmitted by or stored in a media channel is provided by processing the data through a triple orthogonally interleaved error correction system. On the transmit/store side of the system, the data is encoded three times prior to placement in the media channel with two different interleaving steps performed between the encoding steps. The first interleave is an orthogonal row shuffling interleave that provides enhanced protection against burst errors. On the receive/play back side, the data is decoded and deinterleaved, with included errors detected and corrected to enable recovery of the original data. To enhance the error correction, a circuit is used for generating a symbol accurate error flag identifying symbols containing errors thereby allowing the error correcting decoders to focus on and correct the data.

I am a software Engineer, not a Hardware Engineer, so forgive me if I am completely off base.
Also this patent is assigned to E-Systems, Inc. AND Ampex Corp.
