Abstract: A method for trajectory generation based on player tracking is described herein. The method includes determining a temporal association for a first player in a captured field of view and determining a spatial association for the first player. The method also includes deriving a global player identification based on the temporal association and the spatial association and generating a trajectory based on the global player identification.

Abstract: An apparatus for in-situ etching monitoring in a plasma processing chamber includes a continuous wave broadband light source, an illumination system configured to illuminate an area on a substrate with an incident light beam being directed from the continuous wave broadband light source at normal incidence to the substrate, a collection system configured to collect a reflected light beam being reflected from the illuminated area on the substrate, and to direct the reflected light beam to a first light detector, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a property of the substrate or structures formed thereupon based on a reference light beam and the reflected light beam, and control an etch process based on the determined property. The reference light beam is generated by the illumination system by splitting a portion of the incident light beam and directed to a second light detector.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating real-time multi-view detection of objects in multi-camera environments, according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes mapping first lines associated with objects to a ground plane; and forming clusters of second lines corresponding to the first lines such that an intersection point in a cluster represents a position of an object on the ground plane.

Abstract: A network fault analysis method and apparatus are described for performing fault analysis on a network element device based on an NF service. The method includes a fault detection network element obtaining log data that is generated by a to-be-detected network element in a past specified duration. After obtaining the log data, the fault detection network element determines, based on the obtained log data, a log feature corresponding to the log data, and searches, in a fault relational database, for a fault type corresponding to the log feature. After detecting the fault type, the fault detection network element sends the found fault type to a policy control network element, so that the policy control network element can determine a corresponding recovery measure based on the fault type, and the to-be-detected network element can process, by using the recovery measure, a fault that occurs.

Abstract: A magnetic storage medium comprises a plurality of discrete magnetic elements and first and second adjoining servo sectors. Each of the servo sectors comprises first and second rows of the discrete magnetic elements extending in a track direction. The second row of the discrete magnetic elements are stacked relative to the discrete magnetic elements of the first row in a cross-track direction that is perpendicular to the track direction. The discrete magnetic elements of the first servo sector are staggered in the cross-track direction relative to the discrete magnetic elements of the second servo sector.

Abstract: A method is provided, which includes reading data from a data storage medium. Reading data from the medium causes the data to be erased. The method further includes determining a desired position to rewrite the data by computing a position error signal based on the data signal and compensating the position error signal for non-zero bias. The data is then rewritten non-synchronously. An apparatus is also provided, including a data storage medium with a data communication transducer configured to receive data from the medium. Data is erased after it is read. The data communication transducer is configured to rewrite the read data back onto the data storage medium in a non-synchronously. A non-zero bias compensator is provided to compensate data received by the data communication transducer to determine a desired position to rewrite the previously read data back onto the medium.

Abstract: A patterned recording media comprises a segment and a null pattern formed in the segment. The segment comprises first and second rows of discrete magnetic elements separated by a non-magnetic material, and a row of non-magnetic material positioned between the first and second rows. The null pattern comprises consecutive groups of the discrete magnetic elements in the first and second rows of the segment. Each group in the first row has a magnetic polarity that is opposite the magnetic polarity of adjoining groups in the first row. Each group in the second row has a magnetic polarity that is opposite the magnetic polarity of adjoining groups in the second row.

Abstract: A method and system determines the position of a transducer head based on permanent servo marks in which the width of the permanent servo marks is greater than the width of the data tracks they are used to identify. The method includes receiving readback signals in response to the permanent servo marks arranged as a number of null bursts and generating position error signals with respect to each null burst. Region based information is extracted based on the position error signals, and the region based information is used in conjunction with the position error signals to generate region-based displacement estimates with respect to each null burst. The region-based estimates are then combined to generate a final displacement estimate that describes the estimated distance between a transducer head and the centerline of a desired data track.

Abstract: A method of calculating a position error signal is provided. The method includes receiving an analog signal from a data channel and converting the analog signal to a one bit wide digital signal. The analog signal is converted to a digital signal at an oversampled frequency. The position error signal is then calculated by summing correlated oversampled digital signals.
