Abstract: System and method embodiments of centralized discovery controller (CDC) services on a switching network fabric are disclosed. Nodes on the switching network fabric are categorized into leader nodes, e.g., spine switches, and follower nodes, e.g., leaf switches. The CDC services may be divided into centralized CDC services and distributed CDC services, which have direct connections to endpoints for seamless horizontal scaling of endpoints. The centralized CDC services may be placed on a leader node, and the distributed CDC services may be placed among the follower nodes. Operations of the CDC services may be monitored. In case of a node failure, CDC services deployed on the failed node may be moved or transferred to one or more other nodes that have the same role as the failed node. Implementations of the CDC service placement embodiments enable seamless horizontal scaling for endpoints and provide capability for more visibility and monitoring of endpoint.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are transistor arrangements with trench contacts that have two parts—a first trench contact and a second trench contact—stacked over one another. Such transistor arrangements may be fabricated by forming a first trench contact over a source or drain contact of a transistor, recessing the first trench contact, forming the second trench contact over the first trench contact, and, finally, forming a gate contact that is electrically isolated from, while being self-aligned to, the second trench contact. Such a fabrication process may provide improvements in terms of increased edge placement error margin, cost-efficiency, and device performance, compared to conventional approaches to forming trench and gate contacts. The conductive material of the first trench contact may also be deposited over the gate electrodes of transistors, forming a gate strap, to advantageously reduce gate resistance.

Abstract: Example storage medium servo patterns, data storage devices, and methods to provide servo tracks with continuously varying frequency in a data storage device are described. The data storage device may include storage media, such as magnetic disks, having servo sectors that define servo tracks, where adjacent servo tracks have continuously varying frequency as the head moves from one servo track to the next. As the head is actuated over the storage medium, a target track frequency may be determined based on the radial position of a target servo track and the channel frequency may be set to the target track frequency to follow the target servo track.
