Abstract: A method for fabricating fine reduced iron powders comprises the following steps: heating fine iron oxide powders having a mean particle size of smaller than 20 ?m to a reduction temperature of over 700° C. to reduce the fine iron oxide powder into iron powders that are partially sintered into iron powder agglomerates; and performing a crushing-spheroidizing process on the iron powder agglomerates to obtain individual iron powders having a mean particle size of smaller than 20 ?m. The method can reduce iron oxide powers into iron powders having a rounded shape and a high packing density and a high tap density, which are suitable for the metal injection molding process and the inductor fabrication process. The reduced iron powder may further be processed using an annealing process and a second crushing-spheroidizing process in sequence to further increase the sphericity, packing density, and tap density of the reduced iron powder.

Abstract: A method for generating error detection code is disclosed. Firstly, a first error detection code PEDC is derived by using 12-byte unknown sector data information including ID, IED, RSV and the 2048-byte main data while the main data is delivered from a host. Secondly, a second error detection code MEDC is obtained by using known 12-byte sector data information including ID, IED, RSV and the 2048-byte main data. Thereafter, the real error detection code EDC is obtained by applying an exclusive-OR operation to both the PEDC and MEDC.
