Abstract: A method and an apparatus of verifying a terminal are provided in the field of computer technology. In the method, the terminal establishes a secure channel with a server through a secure element in the terminal The terminal sends original terminal hardware parameters in the secure element to the server through the secure channel by using the secure element, where the server is configured to feed back identification information according to the terminal hardware parameters. The terminal then determines a verification result of an authenticity of the terminal according to the identification information fed back by the server. The apparatus includes: a channel establishing module, a parameter sending module and a result determining module.

Abstract: A disk drive has a servo control system that implements just-in-time (JIT) seeks with low power consumption for all long seeks. The servo controller receives a seek command to move the transducer to a target data track and sector, calculates rotational latency from the seek command, and limits the transducer velocity for seeks longer than a predetermined seek length. The servo controller then generates a JIT gain from the calculated rotational latency, modifies the transducer acceleration and deceleration using the JIT gain, and modifies the transducer velocity limit using the JIT gain. Positive current is applied to the actuator to move the transducer with the JIT gain-modified acceleration until the transducer reaches the modified velocity limit. The servo controller determines when to initiate deceleration of the transducer, and applies negative current to the actuator to move the transducer with the JIT gain-modified deceleration until the transducer reaches the target track.
