  • Decoupling magneto-resistive asymmetry and offset loops
    Patent number: 8130462
    Abstract: Signal correction is performed by determining an offset error based at least in part on a first portion of a signal within a first amplitude range. The offset error is associated with error due to offset in the signal. An signal error, associated with error due to offset and magneto-resistive asymmetry (MRA) in the signal, is determined based at least in part on a second portion of the signal within a second amplitude range; the second amplitude range does not overlap with the first amplitude range. An MRA error is determined by removing the offset error from the signal error and the MRA error is removed from the signal.

  • Serialization and deserialization
    Patent number: 8131860
    Abstract: Serialization is disclosed. It is detected if a component included in a graph of components associated with a user session on a first system has not changed since a prior serialization to a second system. A token is sent to the second system during a current serialization, instead of the component, indicating the component has not changed since the prior serialization. De-serialization is disclosed. a token is received at a first system from a second system, in a stream of serialized data from the second system, that indicates that a component on the second system has not changed since a prior serialization. A cached version of the component is retrieved. The cached copy is used to reconstruct on the second system a state of a user session with which the component is associated on the second system.
