  • Patent number: 11960760
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling the execution of disk access commands in a split-actuator hard disk drive are provided. In some embodiments, while a first actuator of the split actuator is in the process of performing a first disk access command (a victim operation), a second disk access command (an aggressor operation) is selected for and executed by a second actuator of the split actuator. The aggressor operation is selected from a queue of disk access commands for the second actuator, and is selected based on being the disk access command in the queue that can be initiated sooner than any other disk access command in the queue without disturbing the victim operation.

  • Patent number: 11422710
    Abstract: In a magnetic recording drive that includes a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) region and a conventional magnetic recording (CMR) region, the quantity of validation data that is stored by the CMR region is reduced. In the magnetic recording drive, verification data stored in the CMR region is invalidated under certain circumstances, including when an SMR band is closed, when an SMR band is indicated by a host to be reused, when an SMR band is indicated to be finished, and when a last data track of an SMR has data stored therein.

  • Publication number: 20220013417
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to substrate planarization. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate a versatile systems and methods for precision surface topography optimization known as planarization on nominally planar substrates. In some embodiments, a method for planarization of a patterned substrate using inkjets can determine the global and nanoscale topography and pattern information of the patterned substrate. Based upon the global and nanoscale topography and pattern information, a drop pattern can be determined and then dispensed on the patterned substrate. A gap between the patterned substrate and a superstrate causing the dispensed drops can be closed to form a substantially contiguous film. The substantially contiguous film can be cured and the superstrate can be separated from the patterned substrate with substantially contiguous film on the patterned substrate.

  • Publication number: 20200262557
    Abstract: A tandem wing aircraft having a fore wing, an aft wing, and a middle wing, attached relative to the aircraft and each other such that the middle wing provides a substantial portion of the total lift at landing speeds, and a minimal portion of the total lift at cruise speeds. At cruise speeds, induced drag is minimized, permitting higher speeds, greater fuel efficiency, and/or greater payload. Advantageously, the wing loading at cruise speeds is higher providing better passenger comfort while still providing controllability and safety at landing speeds.

  • Patent number: 10614852
    Abstract: A method for writing data in a disk drive having actuators each controlling arms extending over disk surfaces, including: receiving a write command from a host; receiving from the host data; dividing the data into data blocks; determining: a first surface from the disk surfaces where data is written by a first head of an arm controlled by a first actuator of the actuators; and a second surface from the disk surfaces where data is written by a second head of an arm controlled by a second actuator of the actuators; determining storage blocks of each of the first and the second surface; and writing first data blocks of the divided data blocks to the determined storage blocks of the first surface using the first head while writing second data blocks of the divided data blocks to the determined storage blocks of the second surface using the second head.
