Abstract: Medical tape suitable to be adhered onto a skin wound for healing of the skin wound or onto a scar for suppressing a thickening, an expansion and an extension of the scar after healing of the wound. The medical tape includes a flexible and stretchable substrate consisting of a plastic film or foil; a release paper which is adhered to one side of the substrate via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; and a peelable support consisting of two sheets of plastic films which are adhered to another side of the substrate via a silicone-coating layer and a slightly adhesive layer, in that order. The two sheets of plastic films are butted with each other at the midpoint of a longitudinal direction of the substrate, and over a widthwise direction of the substrate. The medical tape advantageously applies a shrinking force only to a wound surface or a scar surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for controlling fly-height of a read/write (RW) head. In an embodiment, a RW channel detects a servo gate signal and toggles a mode signal within a preamplifier from a RW data mode signal to a fly-height control (FHC) mode signal. In response to the FHC mode signal, the RW channel transmits FHC data over a differential interface to the preamplifier.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a first data storage medium having a first capacity and a first speed, a second data storage medium having a second capacity and a second speed, and a device controller for interfacing between the data storage device and a host system. The second capacity is greater than the first capacity and the second speed is slower than the first speed. The device controller presents the data storage device to the host system as having a device capacity at least equal to the second capacity and a device speed at least equal to the first speed. The first data storage medium may be a solid-state drive while the second data storage medium is a hard disk drive. The device controller may be a solid-state drive controller, or a hard disk drive controller that may accept at least one solid-state drive command, such as a TRIM command.

Abstract: A bridge circuit includes a bus, a memory interface module, a memory control module, and an external storage control module. The memory interface module receives a memory address from a processor via a memory interface and outputs the memory address to the bus. The memory address corresponds to one of a plurality of address regions of an address space of the processor. The memory control module receives the memory address via the bus and communicates with a memory when the memory address corresponds to a first one of the plurality of address regions. The external storage control module receives the memory address via the bus and communicates with an external storage device when the memory address corresponds to a second one of the plurality of address regions.
