Patent number: 11599577Abstract: Features are detected from a sensor signal via a deep-learning network or other feature engineering methods in an edge processing node. Machine-learned metadata is created that describes the features, and a hash is created with the machine-learned metadata. The sensor signal is stored as a content object at the edge processing node, the object being keyed with the hash at, the edge processing node.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Lijuan Zhong, Krishnan Subramanian, Mehmet Fatih Erden, Jon D.

Patent number: 8902547Abstract: A multiple layered interconnect structure to provide an electrical interface between one or more electrical elements on a head to read/write circuitry is disclosed. The interconnect structure includes first and second interconnecting layers. The first interconnecting layer is formed on a slider body of the head and includes a first or lower bond pad connectable to one or more electrical elements on the slider body through the first interconnecting layer. The second interconnecting layer includes a second or upper bond pad connectable to the one or more transducer elements through the second interconnecting layer. The second interconnecting layer is on top of the first interconnecting layer and the structure includes an insulating layer between the first and second interconnecting layers.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventor: Lijuan Zhong

Patent number: 8810966Abstract: A slider for a disc drive assembly may be attached to various substrates during manufacture and installation in the disc drive assembly. In some examples, a slider attachment system includes a substrate, a first diffusion barrier layer formed over the substrate, a first solder-wettable protection layer formed over the first diffusion barrier layer, a second diffusion barrier layer formed over the first solder-wettable protection layer, and a second solder-wettable protection layer formed over the second diffusion barrier layer. The first and second solder-wettable protection layers may be formed of a material that is inert to a chemical etchant that can chemically dissolve the diffusion barrier layers. In use, solder may be applied to the second solder-wettable protection layer to wet and dissolve the layer. If the substrate needs to be detached and reattached, etchant can chemically dissolve the second diffusion barrier layer to expose the first solder-wettable layer for reattachment.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventor: Lijuan Zhong
