  • RECONSTRUCTION OF INFORMATION STORED IN A DNA STROAGE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240095543
    Abstract: A method for estimating an information unit represented by DNA strands, the method includes (a) sequencing the DNA strands to provide noisy copies of an encoded version of the information unit; wherein the information unit comprises information unit elements; (b) neural network (NN) processing the multiple noisy copies by one or more NNs to provide a soft estimate of the encoded information unit; wherein the soft estimate comprises estimated encoded information unit elements and an encoded information unit elements estimated confidence parameter; and (c) decoding the soft estimate of the encoded information unit to provide a prediction of the information unit.

  • Use of snake-in-the-box codes for reliable identification of tracks in servo fields of a disk drive
    Patent number: 6496312
    Abstract: A “snake-in-the-box” (SITB) code is used to encode a track identifier (TID) in a servo sector of a disk drive to identify a particular track on the disk surface. The SITB code describes the longest possible vector that can fit into a finite space, and comprises a type of difference-preserving code. When an SITB code is used for the TID, any single bit error in the TID will be detected. The Hamming distance for TIDs of adjacent tracks is 1 with a SITB code, as with a Gray code. However, for TIDs of tracks that are not adjacent, the Hamming distance is at least 2 with a SITB code.
