  • Publication number: 20250140285
    Abstract: Rather than disposing a cap layer on a rear soft bias (RSB) of a DFL read head prior to the patterning of the RSB and TMR sensor, disclosed is a decoupling layer disposed on the RSB and TMR sensor after they undergo patterning, with the decoupling layer undergoing its own subsequent patterning. The RSB and the TMR sensor can thus be patterned (defined) together without a RSB cap layer adversely affecting the patterning. As the decoupling layer undergoes its separate patterning, its cross-track width can be flexibly optimized to be greater than that of both the RSB and the TMR sensor. In some embodiments, the decoupling layer's extra width will help it completely decouple the RSB and TMR sensor from the top shield. The side shields will be partially decoupled from the top shield due to the extra width, but will still retain partial coupling to the top shield.

  • Patent number: 8584224
    Abstract: A system for authenticating a user to a relying party. A user sends an access request to a relying party web application. In response, the application sends a page with JavaScript that detects a plug-in at the user and detects the relying party domain. The plug-in uses its device certificate or other pre-established credentials to sign a challenge along with other site and user information including the site domain, the authentication service URL and user identifier, and send it, along with the data including the domain and the user identifier, to an authentication service. The service authenticates the information and sends back to the plug-in a short ticket that can be passed on to the relying party, which can validate it using the Radius protocol and an authentication service call, thereby authenticating the user.
