Abstract: Systems and methods relating generally to determining flaws on a storage medium.

Abstract: Systems and method relating generally to data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for segmenting a data set and recovering the segmented data set. In one particular example, a method is disclosed that includes: querying an input data set for an actual sync mark; forcing a proxy sync mark where the actual sync mark is not found in the input data set; applying data processing to the input data set to yield a processed output; correlating a potion of the processed output with a corresponding portion of the input data set to yield a true sync location; calculating a difference between the true sync location and the location of the forced sync mark to yield an offset; re-forcing the proxy sync mark based upon the offset; and re-applying the data processing to the input data set aligned using the re-forced proxy sync mark to yield a re-processed output.

Abstract: Data processing systems, circuits and methods are disclosed. As one example, a data processing system is disclosed that includes: a buffer circuit, a data processing circuit, and an erasure window set circuit. The buffer circuit is operable to store a data set as a buffered data set, and the data processing circuit is operable to repeatedly apply a data processing algorithm to the buffered data set. The erasure window set circuit is operable to define a location of the erasure window in relation to the buffered data set.

Abstract: The present invention is related to processing data sets, and more specifically to recovering problematic portions of a data set.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. As an example, a data processing circuit is discussed that includes: a servo address mark count circuit, a user sync mark count circuit, and an offset calculation circuit. The servo address mark count circuit is operable to provide: a first count corresponding to a first servo address mark within a first track of a storage medium, a second count corresponding to a second servo address mark within the first track, a third count corresponding to a third servo address mark within a second track of the storage medium, and a fourth count corresponding to a fourth servo address mark within the second track. The user sync mark count circuit is operable to provide: a fifth count corresponding to a first user sync mark within the first track, and to provide a sixth count corresponding to a second user sync mark within the second track.
