Patent number: 9768988Abstract: An apparatus and associated methodology providing read channel circuitry having a signal equalizer that sends an equalized signal to a bit detector. The read channel circuitry is capable of sampling values of the equalized signal to identify a bit transition from among a predefined plurality of different bit transitions. The apparatus may have channel optimization (CO) logic that, based on the input signal and the sampling of the equalized signal, defines first values for a programmable parameter of the bit detector that substantially maximizes vector separations among vectors of waveform target samples corresponding to the predefined plurality of different bit transitions, while the CO logic also defines second values for a programmable parameter of the equalizer that substantially minimizes the mean squared separation of the equalized signal segment for each bit transition from the waveform target corresponding to that bit transition.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Puskal Prasad Pokharel, Mustafa Can Ozturk, Barmeshwar Vikramaditya

Patent number: 9336807Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting unstable read sensors (readers) for data storage systems. In some embodiments, a transducer is supported adjacent a rotating data recording medium having servo data patterns interspersed with calibration test data patterns. A read sensor of the transducer reads the servo and calibration test data patterns while the transducer is maintained at a passive fly height adjacent the medium. A corresponding location on the medium is identified for an error detected during the reading of the servo and calibration test patterns. The servo and calibration test patterns at the location are reread using the read sensor to characterize the read sensor as an unstable reader.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Barmeshwar Vikramaditya, Patrick Korkowski

Patent number: 9318147Abstract: A circuit may be configured to reduce the amount of space used on a storage device when a transducer having a reader and writer passes from a writable data field to a read-only field by enabling both the reader and writer simultaneously. The circuit can be configured to reduce to a threshold level the noise on a read signal that can occur when the reader is over a read-only field and the writer is over a writable data field, and can ignore the read data when both the writer and reader are enabled simultaneously over a writable data field.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Barmeshwar Vikramaditya, Bruce Douglas Buch, Timothy Ellis

Patent number: 9305596Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting media defects using a multi-sensor transducer. In some embodiments, a first pattern is written to a first track on a rotatable storage media and a second pattern is written to a second track on the media. A first read sensor of a multi-sensor transducer senses the first pattern from the first track and a second read sensor of the multi-sensor transducer concurrently senses the second pattern from the second track. At least one storage media defect is detected responsive to the sensed first and second patterns.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Jon David Trantham, William M.

Patent number: 9236074Abstract: A system comprises a disk writer servo head and a controller. The disk writer servo head is configured to be positioned by a micro actuator. The disk writer servo head is also configured to substantially, continuously alternate between reading a first servo pattern and writing a second servo pattern until a disk is substantially, completely servo written. The first servo pattern establishes a first position of the disk writer servo head and the second servo pattern establishes a second position of the disk writer servo head. The controller is configured to control the operation of the disk writer servo head. The controller is also configured to compare the first and second positions to establish a position error. The micro actuator is configured to reposition the disk writer servo head in response to the position error prior to a next reading.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 9019646Abstract: An apparatus includes a write element configured to apply a magnetic field to write data on a portion of a heat-assisted magnetic recording media in response to an energizing current. An energy source is configured to heat the portion of the media being magnetized by the write element. A preheat energizing current is applied to the write element during an interval before writing the data to the portion of the media. The preheat energizing current does not cause data to be written to the media and brings at least one of the write element and driver circuitry into thermal equilibrium prior to writing the data on the portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Tim Rausch, Jon D.

Patent number: 8885277Abstract: Technologies are described herein for implementing modulation coding schemes for TDMR. A data sequence is received to be stored on a first data track of a recording media. The first data sequence is encoded into a first codeword sequence using a modulation coding scheme, and the first codeword sequence is written to the first data track of the recording media. Subsequently, a second data sequence is received to be stored on a second data track of the recording media, the second data track being adjacent to the first data track. A second codeword sequence is generated for the second data sequence based on the first codeword sequence on the first data track, and the second codeword sequence is written to the second data track of the recording media.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Fatih Erden, Barmeshwar Vikramaditya, Deepak Sridhara, William Radich
