Abstract:

Disk drive self-servo writing includes transferring a reference pattern by magnetic printing onto a reference disk, wherein the resulting printed reference pattern includes embedded servo information that provides servo timing and head position information, installing the reference disk and a head into the disk drive, reading the printed reference pattern using the head to generate a readback signal, sampling the readback signal at a sampling rate to generate a sampled signal, processing the sampled signal waveform spectrum to generate a recovered signal including the embedded servo information and fundamental and higher harmonics of the sampled signal, using the embedded servo information from the recovered signal to precisely position and maintain the head at concentric tracks of the reference disk, and self-writing servo patterns onto the tracks with the head.

Assignee:

Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO

International Classification:

H03M 1/62

US Classification:

341139, 341155

Abstract:

Methods of calibrating an analog front end (AFE) of a read/write channel include measuring a first magnitude of a test signal, measuring a second magnitude of an output signal of the AFE generated in response to the test signal, and comparing the first magnitude and the second magnitude to generate a measure of a gain of the AFE at a frequency of the test signal. A data storage device includes a read/write head configured to generate an analog input signal, an AFE coupled to the read/write head and configured to amplify and filter the analog input signal, a test signal generator configured to generate a test signal having a frequency substantially equal to a fundamental frequency of the analog input signal or any of its harmonics, and an attenuator coupled between the test signal generator and the AFE.

Bin Liu - Ann Arbor MI, US
Frederick R. Reiss - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707743, 705 711

Abstract:

A method and system for automatically refining information extraction (IE) rules. A provenance graph for IE rules on a set of test documents is determined. The provenance graph indicates a sequence of evaluations of the IE rules that generates an output of each operator of the IE rules. Based on the provenance graph, high-level rule changes (HLCs) of the IE rules are determined. Low-level rule changes (LLCs) of the IE rules are determined to specify how to implement the HLCs. Each LLC specifies changing an operator's structure or inserting a new operator in between two operators. Based on how the LLCs affect the IE rules and previously received correct results of applying the rules on the test documents, a ranked list of the LLCs is determined. The IE rules are refined based on the ranked list.

International Classification:

G05B 23/02
H01S 5/068

Abstract:

Example implementations include a method of pre-bootup fault monitor of a LASER diode driver output, by applying a first power to a pre-bootup fault monitor device, setting a fault condition at the pre-bootup fault monitor device to a no-fault state, initiating the pre-bootup fault monitor device, determining whether a first impedance of driver output satisfies an impedance threshold, and in response to a determination that the first impedance satisfies the impedance threshold, applying a second power to the output device. Example implementations also include a system with a LASER output device, and a pre-bootup fault monitor device operatively coupled to the LASER output device, and operable to activate in response to receiving a first power, set a fault condition to a no-fault state, determine whether a first impedance of the output driver satisfies an impedance threshold, and, in response to a determination that the first impedance satisfies the impedance threshold, apply a second power to the LASER output device, and a power-on reset controller operatively coupled to the pre-bootup fault monitor and operable to, in response to the determination that the first impedance satisfies the impedance threshold, deactivate the pre-bootup fault monitor.
