  • Publication number: 20140268397
    Abstract: A hard disk drive uses a second, reference burst field in a preamble to estimate burst phase and burst magnitude. Such estimations are used for position error signal integration and repeatable runout correction. Gain error is also derived from such estimations. Information contained in a preamble field is used in conjunction with the reference burst phase estimation to synchronize servo address marks.

  • Patent number: 8809237
    Abstract: A method of forming a superconducting article includes providing a substrate tape, forming a superconducting layer overlying the substrate tape, and depositing a capping layer overlying the superconducting layer. The capping layer includes a noble metal and has a thickness not greater than about 1.0 micron. The method further includes electrodepositing a stabilizer layer overlying the capping layer using a solution that is non-reactive to the superconducting layer. The superconducting layer has an as-formed critical current IC(AF) and a post-stabilized critical current IC(PS). The IC(PS) is at least about 95% of the IC(AF).

  • Patent number: 8699160
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for validating a detection of RRO address marks. After a potential RRO address mark is detected, a disclosed RROAM validation metric evaluates the energy of the remaining RRO data bits in the servo sector, relative to a predefined energy threshold. In addition, the number of remaining RRO data bits in the servo sector is compared to an expected value. The detected RRO address mark is validated in an exemplary embodiment if the RROAM validation metric satisfies the predefined energy threshold and the proper number of remaining RRO data bits is detected in the servo sector. The potential RRO address mark can optionally be discarded if the potential RRO address mark is not validated.
