Abstract: A magnetic field sensor which can achieve sensitivities competitive with modern sensors while simultaneously maintaining a small size, low power consumption, simplicity of design, and low cost. The magnetic field sensor utilizes nonlinear precession dynamics of subatomic spins to attain parametric amplification of a magnetic field. A preliminary experimental implementation of the proposed concept establishes its feasibility and can already demonstrate significant benefits over existing approaches to sensing.

Abstract: A very low frequency (VLF) magnetic field sensor, using spins sourced from insulating ferrimagnetic materials or ferrites, which can achieve high sensitivities competitive with modern sensors while simultaneously maintaining a small size, low power consumption, simplicity of design, and low cost. The magnetic field sensor utilizes nonlinear resonant precession modulation (RPM) dynamics of subatomic spins to attain parametric amplification of a magnetic field.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods an artificial intelligence method of reducing failure in an informational flow of a data stream controlled by an Extract Transform Load process using a machine learning (“ML”) model training system are provided. The method may include deploying a software sensor that periodically captures data points for an extract job executed during an extract phase of the process. The method may also include building a behavior profile concurrently with the receipt of each of the data points. The method may further include comparing the behavior profile to behavior profiles stored in an Adverse Behavior Model database and behavior profiles stored in a Normal Behavior Model database. When the behavior profile is determined to have a threshold number of match points matching the behavior profile to behavior profiles in the Adverse Behavior Model database, the method may include increasing a target database storage capacity.

Abstract: A substrate processing system includes a vacuum transfer module and a plurality of process modules defining respective processing chambers. The plurality of process modules includes a first row of the process modules arranged on a first side of the vacuum transfer module and a second row of the process modules arranged on a second side of the vacuum transfer module opposite the first side. Each of the plurality of process modules includes a gas box arranged above the process module and configured to selectively supply at least one gas and/or gas mixture into the processing chamber of the process module and a radio frequency (RF) generator configured to generate RF power to create plasma within the processing chamber. The RF generator is arranged above the process module and the gas box and the RF generator are arranged side-by-side above the process module.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating and executing a user request with increased security and efficiency are provided. A method may include receiving a selection from a user to restrict informational access of a selected administrator who is logged in to a system network, and locking access of the administrator to secure user information. The method may also include receiving, from the user, limited identifying information, and transmitting to the user, based on the limited identifying information, a uniform resource locator (URL) link and a one-time password (OTP). The method may also include achieving 2-factor authentication when the user accesses the URL link and submits the OTP, and receiving from the user the secure user information and a service request. In response to receiving the secure user information and the service request, the method may include executing a response to the service request via the system network.

Abstract: A tape head read/write module that has a composite air bearing surface, and a method and apparatus for embedding a chip in a substrate to form a composite air bearing surface. An example of the module includes a substrate that has an air bearing surface, a front, a back, and a chip receiving slot. The air bearing surface of the substrate has a first portion adjoining a first side of the chip receiving slot, and a second portion adjoining a second side of the chip receiving slot. The module also includes a chip that has an air bearing surface, a bottom surface, a front, a back, and active elements. The active elements are located proximate the front of the chip. The chip is positioned in the chip receiving slot in the substrate, with the air bearing surface of the chip substantially aligned with the air bearing surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A plurality of apparatuses and methods are provided for improving the manufacture and operational characteristics of thin magnetic film heads. Various embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method for attaching a thin film head to a beam.

Abstract: A method is provided for providing air-skiving edges of a tape head. A slot is created in an upper face of a substrate of a tape head. The slot includes at least one edge defining an edge of a tape bearing surface (TBS) of the tape head. The surface of the tape head is then formed and finished, such as by lapping. A grind operation is subsequently conducted to form a notch in the upper face of the substrate of the tape head. Such notch extends from the slot to an outside end of the substrate of the tape head.
