  • Data detection for local probe data storage devices
    Patent number: 7109905
    Abstract: Apparatus for detecting data in a sensor signal generated by a read sensor in a local probe data storage device comprises a differentiation for subtracting a value of the sensor signal from the succeeding value of the sensor signal to generate a ternary difference signal; and a convertor connected to the differentiator for converting the difference signal into a binary output signal indicative of the detected data. A local probe data storage device comprising such apparatus is also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2006
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
