Abstract: Identifying recording disk defects in a data storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD), for which disk defects are not previously identified, includes responsive to a first user data write request to a particular storage area of a disk medium, writing the user data to the particular storage area, reading the written user data from the particular storage area, and verifying the integrity of the user data read from the particular storage area. Upon passing, a second user data write request to the same particular storage area can be fulfilled without again reading and verifying. Upon failing, the particular storage area is marked as defective and the user data is written to a different storage area. This procedure can be repeated in response to each initial user write request to each storage area of each disk medium, foregoing the need for disk surface scanning during manufacturing.

Abstract: A data storage device comprises a disk having a plurality of data tracks and a plurality of servo wedges wherein the plurality of servo wedges comprise a plurality of wedge repeatable runout (WRRO) fields configured to store a plurality of WRRO compensation values in connection with the plurality of data tracks. The data storage device may also include a read/write head configured to be actuated over the disk, and a controller configured to gather position error signal (PES) data needed for computation of the WRRO compensation values during a field operation of the data storage device. The data storage device may be further configured to adjust a position of the read/write head based on the WRRO compensation values.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to methods for monitoring virtual network functions (VNFs) using mirror-ports provided on a virtual switch. A method of the technology can include steps for detecting an instantiation of a virtual network function (VNF), receiving a plurality of operating parameters for the VNF, connecting the VNF with a virtual switch, and automatically discovering an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the VNF. In some aspects, the method can further include operations for instantiating a mirror-port on the virtual switch, the mirror-port configured to provide a communications interface for monitoring the VNF based on a monitoring parameter. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprising a density equal to or greater than about 0.947 g/cc, a high load melt index from about 1 g/10 min to about 30 g/10 min, and a tensile natural draw ratio less than about 14167?-12958, where ? is the density (g/cc) of the composition. A polymer composition comprising a tensile natural draw ratio less than about 14167?-12958, where ? is the density (g/cc) of the composition and wherein less than about 1 weight percent of the composition comprises non-polymeric additives.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a disk drive that employs a proximity recording interface in which a slider that carries a head is designed to remain in contact with the disk during data transfer operations to achieve a high data density. In particular, the present invention is directed to cleaning debris from a pad on the slider that carries the head. The debris, if allowed to accumulate, can reach a depth at which the head is spaced from the disk at a distance which adversely affects the transfer of data with the disk. In one embodiment, the spin motor of the disk drive is caused to rotate at a lower angular velocity than during normal data transfer operations, preferably using open loop control, while the actuator of the disk drive is used to radially displace the slider and associated head, also preferably using open loop control. For a constant angular velocity of the disk, the change in radial position causes different areas of the pad to be contacted and cleaned by the disk.
