    Abstract: A magnetic recorder includes a laser source (132), a magnetic write head (131), and a magnetoresistive device placed between a pair of magnetic poles (100, 101) of the magnetic head. A rotary actuator (Sa) positions the magnetic write head to a desired track on a magnetic medium. The magnetic medium is irradiated with a laser beam to heat an area as wide as the track so that the coercive force of the heated area may decrease where a recording field is applied for high-density recording. An angle of yaw (υ) of the rotary actuator relative to the track will not hinder the magnetic write head (131) and the read device from following data tracks. The size of the magnetic poles (100, 101) of the magnetic write head is determined within a predetermined range to keep the laser-heated area (302) within a region (303) where a magnetic recording field is applied.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product for a hard disk drive (10) defect detection system. In one embodiment, a method of detecting defects on the surface of a disk (12) having a plurality of tracks (t n ) is recited. The method comprises reading, one or more times, the servo bits for a plurality of sectors (i) and determining a burst measure for at least one sector, where the burst measure is a function of the burst signals for the sector. This method further comprises determining a reference value, where the reference value is a function of the burst signals of the plurality of sectors, and comparing the burst measure of at least one sector to the reference value to identify a potential defect. In one embodiment, a sector is mapped as defective where its burst measure differs from the reference value by at least 5 percent.

    Abstract: A new technique for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) servo-burst demodulation is provided. A 4-samples per dibit Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) amplitude estimation is used to calculate the read-head servo-position error signal. Comparatively, the conventional method of burst demodulation ― called burst integration ― typically uses more than 8 samples/dibit. Consequently, the new 4-samples/dibit DFT burst-demodulation scheme requires fewer samples per dibit than does burst integration, thus reducing the disk space occupied by the burst data while increasing the performance as compared to burst integration. Furthermore, the DFT scheme does not require the samples to be synchronized to any particular points of the servo burst, and can include an averaging algorithm that further improves performance for a given Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Moreover, the same sample-clocking circuit that detects the Gray Code servo information can also implement the DFT burst-demodulation scheme to demodulate the servo burst.

    Abstract: Synchronous detection of fine position servo information within a partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) data channel. Servo information (17) is recorded as a pair or series of fractional-track-width sinewave concurrent burst patterns producing an on-track phase generating a position error signal varying linearly about track centerline and at least one off-track phase generating a position error signal related to track boundary. Head (26) generates on-track phase and off-track phase analog signals that are gain normalized (40) and synchronously quantized (46). Mulfiplying by a normalization factor from a correlation signal generator (64) during servo sampling intervals provides normalized samples, integrating (66) on-track phase normalized samples provides on-track position error signal (82), and integrating (66) off-track phase normalized samples provides an off-track position error signal (88). A discrete matched filter is also used.
