Patent number: 11562650Abstract: Provided is a method for berth allocation of a multiline bus station and speed guidance of buses. The intelligent control center sorts all buses between the current station and the previous station to form the BusNumber table, and performs speed guidance for all buses in the BusNumber table. Whether the guided bus can pass through the signalized intersection is determined. The buses that cannot pass through the signalized intersection are guided by acceleration, and those that cannot pass through the signalized intersection by acceleration guidance method update their speeds based on the phase state of signal light, so as to pass through the signalized intersection without stopping in most cases. All buses are conducted through speed guidance methods, and the berths are allocated for all the buses under different conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: CHANG'AN UNIVERSITYInventors: Xiangmo Zhao, Kang Sun, Siyuan Gong, Xia Wu, Yukun Ding, Jialin Liu, Xinyi Li, Lu Zhao, Yalong Wu, Fenglin Liu

Patent number: 9082423Abstract: A magnetic transducer has an ABS, a pole, coil(s) and a trailing shield. The pole includes a trailing surface having first and second portions. The first portion adjoins the ABS and is oriented at a first bevel angle from perpendicular to the ABS. The first bevel angle is nonzero and acute. The second portion adjoins the first portion, is recessed from the ABS and oriented at a second bevel angle from perpendicular to the ABS. The second bevel angle is less than the first bevel angle and nonzero. The trailing shield has a pole-facing surface part of which adjoins the ABS and is oriented at the first bevel angle. A write gap is between the trailing shield and the pole. The write gap has a constant thickness for the first portion of the trailing surface and a thickness that increases with increasing distance from the ABS for the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Western Digital (Fremont), LLCInventors: Feng Liu, Zhigang Bai, Weimin Si, Yugang Wang, Fenglin Liu, Tao Pan, Samuel W.

Patent number: 8801943Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for manufacturing a full wraparound shield damascene write head through the implementation of a three layered (tri-layered) hard mask. According to an embodiment of the invention, the various layers of hard mask are used for different purposes during the formation of a write head. The wraparound shield head of the present invention exhibits improved physical characteristics that further result in improved performance characteristics. Use of the hard mask layers according to the present invention allows for use of manufacturing processes that can be more closely controlled than those processes used in other processes. For example, smaller dimension lithographic techniques can be used. Also, reliance on certain CMP processes is not necessary where the use of CMP processes is not as well-controlled as deposition or lithographic techniques as is possible using the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: HGST Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Shiwen Huang, Fenglin Liu, Qiping Zhong, Kyusik Shin, Yingjian Chen

Patent number: 8547660Abstract: A magnetic write head having a tapered trailing edge and having a magnetic layer formed over a trailing edge of the write pole at a location recessed from the ABS, the magnetic layer being separated from the trailing edge of the write pole by a thin non-magnetic layer. The thin non-magnetic layer is preferably sufficiently thin that the magnetic layer can function as a portion of the write pole in a region removed from the ABS. A trailing magnetic shield is formed over the write pole and is separated from the write pole by a non-magnetic trailing gap layer. A non-magnetic spacer layer can be formed over the magnetic layer to provide additional separation between the magnetic layer and the trailing magnetic shield.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: HGST Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Donald G.
