Abstract: A low loss silicon nitride film is formed by depositing a silicon nitride film on a substrate and annealing the silicon nitride film for at least ten hours at a temperature of at least 400° C. to cause the silicon nitride film to become a low loss silicon nitride film. The low loss silicon nitride film has an optical loss of less than 1 dB per cm at a wavelength of 488 nm.

Abstract: A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes one or more magnetic disks. One or more data blocks are encoded into a first plurality of Error Correction Code (ECC) sub-blocks including a first ECC sub-block. The first plurality of ECC sub-blocks is encoded into a first ECC super-block. The first ECC sub-block is write-verified by reading the first ECC super-block. If the write-verify passes, a second plurality of ECC sub-blocks is encoded into a subsequent ECC super-block. If the write-verify fails, the first ECC sub-block and a subset of the second plurality of ECC sub-blocks are encoded into the subsequent ECC super-block. In another aspect, in response to the first ECC super-block failing to recover the first ECC sub-block, a subsequent ECC super-block is read and a copy of the first ECC sub-block is used if the copy is detected in the subsequent ECC super-block.

Abstract: A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes one or more magnetic disks with each magnetic disk including at least one recording surface. A segment mapping is generated having a predetermined number of segment entries per recording surface with each segment entry corresponding to a data segment of the recording surface. One or more segment entries include a first logical address corresponding to a first logical data block that begins in the corresponding data segment and at least one of the data segments is configured to store multiple logical data blocks. A target segment entry is located in the segment mapping corresponding to a highest logical address less than or equal to a requested logical address of a read command and a head of the DSD is moved to a beginning portion of a target data segment corresponding to the target segment entry to perform the read command.

Abstract: A wing for an adult incontinent device is disclosed. The adult incontinent device has a chassis with a lateral attachment surface. The wing includes a stretch laminate with at least one nonwoven layer and at least one elastic layer. The nonwoven layer and the elastic layer are bound together in face-to-face contact. The stretch laminate has at least one stretch zone and at least one non-stretch zone. The stretch laminate has no overlap portions between the stretch zone and the non-stretch zone. One end of the wing is affixed to the lateral attachment surface of the chassis.

Abstract: A stretch laminate for use in hygiene products includes: an extensible, non-elastic spunbond or spunmelt nonwoven laminated to an elastic film; and the stretch laminate is activated, has a cross direction (CD) elongation at 10N in a range of 80-150% for a 50 mm sample width, and has fractures of less than 10% of the stretch laminate.

Abstract: Example storage systems, storage nodes, and methods provide erasure coding of data shards containing multiple data objects. Storage nodes store data shards having a data shard size and each containing a plurality of data objects, where the sum of the data object sizes is less than the data shard size. Some storage nodes store a parity shard containing parity data for the other data shards.
