US Patent:

6917483, Jul 12, 2005

Filed:

Sep 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/653659

Inventors:

Avanindra Annu Gupta - Louisville CO, US
Gregory Christopher Labbe - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA

International Classification:

G11B027/36
G11B005/596

US Classification:

360 31, 360 7702, 360 7806

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for improving the settle time and thus, the transition from seek control to track following control in a disc drive system are provided. With the apparatus and method, two counters are provided—a consecutive counter and a non-consecutive counter. The consecutive counter counts consecutive samples that meet threshold requirements. The non-consecutive counter counts non-consecutive groups of consecutive samples that meet threshold requirements. When the consecutive counter reaches a first predetermined value, the non-consecutive counter is incremented and the consecutive counter is reset to zero. When the non-consecutive counter reaches a second predetermined value, a track following control mechanism is initiated to thereby transition from a seek control operation to a transitional control operation and finally a track following control operation.

G11B005/596

US Classification:

360075000, 360078040, 360077020

Abstract:

A system and method for improving write integrity of a magnetic storage system. A settling algorithm counter is reset if a position error signal of the write head indicates the head is vibrating with mechanical oscillations outside a predetermined threshold.

Abstract:

A multi-sensor edge computing system can have at least a sensor assembly connected to an edge computing device and a downstream host. The sensor assembly may have a first sensor and a second sensor with the respective sensors being different. The edge computing device can be configured to identify a false reading of the first sensor in response to data captured by the second sensor.
