  • Patent number: 7941779
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for circuit design to reduce power usage, such as reducing temperature dependent power usage, and/or to improve timing, such as reducing temperature dependent delay or transition time. At least one embodiment of the present invention reduces the power dissipation and improves the timing of an integrated circuit to optimize the design. A thermal analysis is used to determine the temperature dependent power dissipation of a circuit and the temperature distribution of the circuit resulting from dissipating the heat created by the temperature dependent power dissipation. Then, the components of the design are selectively transformed to reduce the power dissipation and to improve timing based on the temperature solution. The transformation may include placement changes and netlist changes, such as the change of transistor threshold voltages for cells or for blocks of the circuit chip.

  • Patent number: 7535803
    Abstract: A method for recording to and reproducing from a magnetic recording medium is disclosed in which an information signal is recorded and reproduced under thermal assist, and which allows one to stably record tiny recording magnetic domains and stably detect a reproduction output signal during reproduction when recording at high density. In this method, the temperature distribution in the information recording and reproduction region of the magnetic recording medium is controlled to be different during recording and during reproduction. This allows recording magnetic domains to be stabilized even when recording fine marks, and greatly increases the recording density because stable detection is possible without reducing the reproduction signal amplitude.

    Abstract: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium for thermo-magnetic printing has an ultra-high recording density and is resistant to thermal decay of magnetization. An intermediate layer of the medium is provided between a first recording layer using a low-noise Co alloy ferromagnetic substance and a second recording layer using a ferrimagnetic substance (e.g., a rare-earth element-transition metal compound) having a compensation temperature below an operation ambient temperature. A magnetic field is applied thereto to form a magnetization pattern on the first recording layer. It is then heated-up to be printed onto the second recording layer, which has a higher coercivity at the ambient temperature, and a recording field is suitably set to form a magnetization pattern only on the first recording layer. The magnetization pattern is printed from the first recording layer to the second recording layer.

  • Patent number: 6882617
    Abstract: In a method of recording and reproduction using a magnetic storage medium, a magnetic storage medium (5) is used in which at least magnetic recording film (2) and a superconducting film (3) are deposited. According to the method, the superconducting layer (3) is partly heated where data is either recorded in recording or reproduced in reproduction, using a semiconductor laser (6) to or beyond its critical temperature at which diamagnetism disappears. Thus, in recording, data can be recorded with high density without affecting adjacent parts of the magnetic recording layer regardless of the physical size of the magnetic head. In reproduction, data can be reproduced from a minuscule part at high S/N ratios with crosstalk from adjacent bits being substantially eliminated.

    Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium of the present invention has a recording layer made of a perpendicular magnetization film, and a readout layer which is in an in-plane magnetization state at room temperature and changes into a perpendicular magnetization state with a rise in temperature. When the magneto-optical recording medium is irradiated with a light beam, the readout layer separates into three regions: a region in an in-plane magnetization state, a region in a perpendicular magnetization state, and a region having a temperature not lower than the Curie temperature thereof. Only the region in the perpendicular magnetization state allows copying of the magnetization of the recording layer. Therefore, even when the diameter and intervals of recording bits on the recording layer are very small, it is possible to reproduce a target recording bit separately from a recording bit adjacent to the target recording bit.
