Abstract: Systems and methods for personalized sudden cardiac death risk prediction that generates fingerprints of imaging features of cardiac structure and function. One or more fingerprints and clinical data may be used to generate a risk score. The output risk score may be used to predict the time of death in order to select high-risk patients for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment.

Abstract: In a servo pattern deviation correcting method and disk apparatus of the present invention, a read/write head writes information to a disk and reads information from the disk. Servo pattern blocks are written to respective sectors of the disk along a target track. A deviation of each servo pattern block from a position of the track in a transverse direction is detected. A deviation correction pattern for each servo pattern block is created based on the deviation of the servo pattern block. The deviation correction pattern is written to a predetermined region of the disk between each servo pattern block and a data region along the track. The deviation correction pattern is read from the predetermined region of the disk, so that the read/write head is shifted to a deviation-corrected position on the track based on the servo pattern block and the deviation correction pattern.

Abstract: A disk device and a disk medium are disclosed in which a plurality of servo cylinders on the surface of at least one disk are divided into several areas, and a different servo signal frequency is set and recorded for each of the areas. The servo cylinders are divided into predetermined areas, and a different servo signal frequency for each of the areas is set so that the recording density of the servo signal recorded in the disk can be set so as to allow the servo signal demodulation characteristic to be included in a relatively superior range. In the disk device, the boundary between the area of a first servo signal frequency and the area of a second servo signal frequency adjoining the first servo signal frequency area is preferably formed with an area in which a servo signal pattern written with the first servo signal frequency and a servo signal pattern written with the second servo signal frequency are arranged on the same servo cylinders.

Abstract: In a servo information detection method and disk apparatus of the present invention, it is determined whether a pattern of detection bits, detected from a vicinity of a servo sync mark of a disk, matches with a given comparison bit pattern. A pattern of tolerance bits is changed based on a location of the disk where the servo sync mark is detected, so that the matching between the detection bit pattern and the comparison bit pattern is performed based on the changed tolerance bit pattern.
