Abstract: A method of manufacturing a granular perpendicular magnetic recording medium with improved corrosion resistance comprises sequential steps of providing a non-magnetic substrate including a surface; forming a soft magnetic underlayer (SUL) over the surface; post-deposition heating the SUL; forming an intermediate layer stack over the heated SUL; and forming at least one granular, magnetically hard perpendicular magnetic recording layer over the intermediate layer stack. Heating of the SUL prior to formation of the intermediate layer stack results in formation of an intermediate layer stack with a smoother surface and a granular perpendicular recording layer with increased corrosion resistance than when SUL post-deposition heating is not performed.

Abstract: A data transmitting method of a wireless distribution system (WDS) applying an access point (AP) of a master to encrypt/decrypt data through a wireless protected access (WPA) includes the following steps. First, a second AP is selected as a peer repeater through a user interface of a first AP and a pre-shared key (PSK) is obtained through the user interface. Next, the PSK is set as a pairwise transient key (PTK) and a pairwise master key (PMK) is generated according to the PTK. Then, the PMK is transmitted the second AP. Next, an acknowledgement signal outputted from the second AP is received. Then, the PMK is stored to a group key cache and the data is encrypted/decrypted according to the PMK.

Abstract: The present invention is an ADSL encoder and decoder. Wherein, the ADSL encoder comprises a digital signal processor, a buffer, a bit extractor and a constellation point mapper. The digital signal processor delivers data bits to the buffer, and again the delivered data bits are transmitted to the bit extractor by buffer. Bit extractor shifts partial received data bits to an extracted data. The constellation point mapper processes constellation point mapping operation corresponding to the extracted data based on transmitted bits that a sub-carrier can transmit. The ADSL decoder comprises a constellation decoder, a bit packet component and a buffer. The constellation decoder combines a horizontal axis data and a vertical axis data to packed data depending on constellation decoding procedures. The bit packet component stores extracted data to digital data in sequence, and the digital data is stored by buffer in sequence as well, then transmitted to digital signal processor.

Abstract: An arrangement and method of measuring head-media spacing modulation (HMS_Wq) removes the portion of out-of-plane motion caused by disk modes from the dynamic measurements of hard disk surface topography. Employing time-domain measurement techniques, circumferential surface topographical measurements are made for a hard disk surface. A boundary wavelength is determined, and a first partial HMS_Wq value is determined based upon measurements taken at a first disk rotational speed. A second partial HMS_Wq value is determined based upon measurements taken at a second disk rotational speed. The first and second partial HMS_Wq values are combined to provide a complete and accurate HMS_Wq value, taking advantage of the principle that the disk mode location in the spatial domain topography spectrum converted from the measured time-domain data shifts when the disk rotation speed is changed during the measurement.
