Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes accessing yard check data received from a plurality of sources. The yard check data includes a unit identification number of a particular shipping container of a plurality of shipping containers, a location of the particular shipping container within a container yard, and a confidence level. The method further includes storing the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container in a unit inventory of an inventory database. The method further includes comparing the confidence level of the particular message to a confidence threshold for the particular source. The method further includes electronically communicating, across a communications network, the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container for storage in a production database when the confidence level of the particular message exceeds the confidence threshold for the particular source.

Abstract: A method for performing disk access operations in a disk drive includes: storing commands to perform disk access operations in a command queue for the disk drive; determining a first total cost for performing a first command stored in the command queue, wherein the first total cost is based on at least a first energy cost associated with starting execution of the first command; determining a second total cost for performing a second command stored in the command queue, wherein the second total cost is based on at least a second energy cost for the second command; and in response to determining that the first total cost is less than the second total cost, selecting the first command to be the next command stored in the command queue that is to be performed by the disk drive.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling the execution of disk access commands in a split-actuator hard disk drive are provided. In some embodiments, while a first actuator of the split actuator is in the process of performing a first disk access command (a victim operation), a second disk access command (an aggressor operation) is selected for and executed by a second actuator of the split actuator. The aggressor operation is selected from a queue of disk access commands for the second actuator, and is selected based on being the disk access command in the queue that can be initiated sooner than any other disk access command in the queue without disturbing the victim operation.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, each of a plurality of controller chips included in a magnetic disk device includes a buffer control circuit and an arbitration circuit, and controls a corresponding one of a plurality of actuator systems. The first controller chip is connected to a buffer memory via the buffer control circuit included in the first controller chip, and is connected to the second controller chip. The second controller chip is connected to the first controller chip and the third controller chip. The arbitration circuit included in the second controller chip performs arbitration between data transfer between the third controller chip and the first controller chip and data transfer between the first controller chip and an actuator system controlled by the second controller chip among the plurality of actuator systems.

Abstract: The present described inventions relate, inter alia, to methods and compositions that provide for improved detection of target molecules.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording drive that includes a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) region and a conventional magnetic recording (CMR) region, the quantity of validation data that is stored by the CMR region is reduced. In the magnetic recording drive, verification data stored in the CMR region is invalidated under certain circumstances, including when an SMR band is closed, when an SMR band is indicated by a host to be reused, when an SMR band is indicated to be finished, and when a last data track of an SMR has data stored therein.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to substrate planarization. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate a versatile systems and methods for precision surface topography optimization known as planarization on nominally planar substrates. In some embodiments, a method for planarization of a patterned substrate using inkjets can determine the global and nanoscale topography and pattern information of the patterned substrate. Based upon the global and nanoscale topography and pattern information, a drop pattern can be determined and then dispensed on the patterned substrate. A gap between the patterned substrate and a superstrate causing the dispensed drops can be closed to form a substantially contiguous film. The substantially contiguous film can be cured and the superstrate can be separated from the patterned substrate with substantially contiguous film on the patterned substrate.

Abstract: A tandem wing aircraft having a fore wing, an aft wing, and a middle wing, attached relative to the aircraft and each other such that the middle wing provides a substantial portion of the total lift at landing speeds, and a minimal portion of the total lift at cruise speeds. At cruise speeds, induced drag is minimized, permitting higher speeds, greater fuel efficiency, and/or greater payload. Advantageously, the wing loading at cruise speeds is higher providing better passenger comfort while still providing controllability and safety at landing speeds.
