A micro-fabricated chip having a stationary structure and a movable structure with a gimbal structure allows pitch and roll motion of the movable structure with respect to the stationary structure. One embodiment of the gimbal structure includes a dimple surface making a rolling-type contact with the stationary structure, and a center bar and a plurality of bar members. An alternative embodiment of the gimbal structure includes a plurality of torsion bar members. Another alternative embodiment of the gimbal structure includes a plurality of flexible members. The micro-fabricated chip can be a passive chip structure or, alternatively, a microactuator having a movable structure that moves in a rotational direction or a translational direction with respect to the stationary structure.

A magnetoresistive sensor (300) having a magnetically anisotropic pinned layer structure (308). The pinned layer structure is formed over a seed layer (326) having a surface (327) that has been treated to texture the surface of the seed layer with an anisotropic roughness. This anisotropic roughness induces the magnetic anisotropy in the pinned layers. The treated seed layers also allow the pinned layer to maintain robust pinning without the need for a thick AFM layer, thereby reducing gap size.

A nanoimprinting system incorporates a patterned media contact architecture to provide a uniform imprinting pressure across the target imprinting area on a disk substrate. The system leverages the unique disk substrate characteristic of an inner diameter hole by incorporating a membrane suspension, gel-pad buffering, and air cushion loading that exploits the inner diameter hole characteristics of the disk substrate. This design dramatically increases the uniformity of the pressing pressure across the target imprinting area. As a result, a simple and effective improvement of the quality of the patterns imprinted on the recording disk substrate is realized.

To reduce lowering of a recording current and a recording magnetic field that might occur upon execution of write pre-compensation for compensating the NLTS according to a perpendicular magnetic recording method, the recording current overshoot is increased for recording a high NLTS recording data pattern. The read signal quality is improved, thereby a highly reliable magnetic disk drive can be provided.

Techniques are provided for applying modulation constraints to data by using periodically changing symbol mappings to replace certain prohibited error prone data patterns. Initially, user data in a first base is mapped to integers of a second base using a base conversion technique. The integers in the second base correspond to symbols. Subsequently, periodically changing symbol mappings are performed during which prohibited symbols generated during base conversion are mapped to permitted symbols. The periodically changing symbol mappings occur in multiple phases, and the prohibited symbols are different in each phase. The resulting data is processed by a precoder in some embodiments.

The invention is a storage device which implements a write barrier command and provides means for a host to designate other write commands as being sensitive or insensitive to the existence of write barrier commands. The device can optimize the execution of commands by changing the order of execution of write commands that are insensitive to write barrier command. In an embodiment of the invention a flag associated with the write command indicates whether the command is sensitive or insensitive to the existence of write barrier commands. In an embodiment of the invention the write barrier command can be implemented as a write command with a flag that indicates whether the command is a write barrier command. In one embodiment of the invention the queue of commands and data to be written to the media is stored in a non-volatile cache.

To provide a disk drive and a control method in the disk drive which can obtain good recording performance by amplifying the write current according to the recording method and the recording frequency. A HDD comprises a write current supply section and a write head (112a). The write current supply section generates a write signal for recording to a disk and, based on the write current, generates a write current IW. The write head (112a) records data to the disk by the write current IW. The write current supply section comprises a write channel (121) to generate the write signal V1, a write driver A (202) to generate a write current IA from the write signal V1, a high frequency pattern extracting circuit (201) to extract high frequency pattern parts from the write signal, and a write driver B (203) to generate a write current IB from the extracted high frequency pattern parts. The write currents IA and IB are added up and supplied to the write head (112a) as the write current IW whose magnitude is amplified only when the frequency is high.

A spin-valve type magnetic head which has sufficiently high output is provided. A structure in which high output coexists with high stability is achieved by letting a GMR-effect and a current-path-confinement effect manifest themselves at the same time in a GMR-screen layer 160 consisting of a ferromagnetic metal spike-like part 162 and a half-covering oxide layer 161.
