  • Patent number: 8689062
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. For example, a data processing system is disclosed that includes: a data detector circuit, and a reliability monitor circuit. The data detector circuit is operable to apply a data detection algorithm to a data set to yield a detected output that includes soft data. The reliability monitor circuit is operable to determine a proxy error count based at least in part on the soft data, and to modify a parameter governing an operation of the data processing system based at least in part on the proxy error count.

  • Patent number: 6926931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual performance cleaning article, wherein said cleaning article is comprised of a first abrasive meltblown surface that facilitates the process of loosening particulates, such as dust and dirt, and an opposing second soft, air permeable surface, which is capable of absorbing and/or picking up particulates and liquids. The meltblown layer comprises coarse discontinuous filamentary elements, formed from adjusting the variable commonly utilized in the traditional meltblown method.
