CUSIP NO. 00101B103

The following constitutes Amendment No. 24 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 24”).  This Amendment No. 24 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.
 
Item 1.
Security and Issuer.
 
Item 1 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of ADPT Corporation (the “Issuer”).  The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 691 S. Milpitas Blvd., Milpitas, California 95035.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 30,493,266 Shares owned by Steel Partners II is approximately $98,493,662, including brokerage commissions.  The Shares owned by Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.
 
The Shares beneficially owned by Messrs. Howard and Quicke were awarded to them in their capacities as directors of the Issuer.
 
Set forth on Schedule B annexed to Amendment No. 21 to the Schedule 13D (“Schedule B”) is the aggregate purchase price of the Shares beneficially owned, if any, by each of the directors of Steel Holdings GP.
 
Steel Partners II effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 120,396,971 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of May 12, 2010 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2010.
 
As of the close of business on July 9, 2010, Steel Partners II owned directly 30,493,266 Shares, constituting approximately 25.3% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their relationships with Steel Partners II discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Steel Holdings, Partners LLC and Warren G. Lichtenstein may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by Steel Partners II.
 
As of the close of business on July 9, 2010, Jack L. Howard beneficially owned 18,750 Shares underlying Restricted Stock Awards, 6,250 Shares of which have vested, and beneficially owned an additional 18,750 Shares underlying Non-Qualified Stock Options that are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof, constituting in the aggregate less than 1% of the Shares outstanding.
