Patent number: 9378757Abstract: The disclosed methods enable the production of plasmonic near-field transducers that are useful in heat-assisted magnetic recording. The plasmonic near-field transducers have an enlarged region and a peg region. The peg region includes a peg region in proximity to an air-bearing surface above a recording medium and also includes a flared region between and in contact with the enlarged region and the peg region. The flared region can act as a heat sink and can lower the thermal resistance of the peg portion of the near-field transducer, thus reducing its temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Yongjun Zhao, Dongsung Hong, Lijuan Zou, Mark Ostrowski

Patent number: 9243998Abstract: A device includes a resonator having an oscillating portion with dimensions chosen to lead to a desired resonant frequency. A light source is positioned to provide light along the length of the oscillating portion at a specific wave length. A detector detects a change in oscillation of the resonator responsive to the wave pressure produced by the light source heating a gas. The light source is modulated with a frequency the same as the resonant frequency of the resonator.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Viorel Avramescu, Mihai Gologanu, Daniel Youngner, Bob Jon Carlson

Patent number: 9235674Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with an integrated circuit that includes a plurality of parallel pillar structures is described. In one embodiment, a system includes a design logic configured to analyze a design of an integrated circuit to identify open tracks on each layer by determining a location of structures in each layer of the design. The open tracks are spaces on each layer of the design that are free from structures that obstruct routing the plurality of pillar metals. The system also includes routing logic configured to successively route the plurality of pillar metals in each of the layers of the design based, at least in part, on the parameters and the location of the structures. The routing logic routes pillars of the plurality of pillar metals that are in adjacent layers to be perpendicular and pillar metals that are within a same layer of the design to be parallel.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Mark O'Brien, James G.
