Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a thin film magnetic head in which MR height and neck height can be determined with high precision. A plurality of thin film magnetic head bars are formed so as to include a plurality of thin film magnetic head precursors, a plurality of RLG sensors for reproducing head portions, and a plurality of RLG sensors for recording head portions. While detecting electrical resistance values of resistance films by using the RLG sensors for the reproducing head portions, the thin film magnetic head bar is pre-polished. Electrical resistance values of the resistance films are detected by using both of the RLG sensors for the reproducing head portions and the RLG sensors for the recording head portions and a tilt of a polished surface of the thin film magnetic head bar is adjusted. After that, while detecting the electrical resistance values of the resistance films by using the RLG sensors for the reproducing head portions again, the thin film magnetic head bar is finish-polished, thereby forming an air bearing surface.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for improving performance and scalability of common information model object (CIMOM) by using a hardware management console (HMC) repository. The HMC repository includes storage of HMC objects, an HMC object model and a common interface (CIM Wrapper) for accessing to HMC objects. The HMC object model allows the user to store and retrieve the CIM objects and their associations efficiently. A CIM provider may access HMC objects through a common interface (CIM Wrapper), so that different repositories are allowed to be used without significant changes to the underlying server code (CIM provider). A CIM provider may also call the HMC repository directly for more efficient operations because the number of times conversions made between the CIM object and the repository object are greatly decreased.

Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention is directed to a computer-implemented method comprising, receiving registration information for one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) at a registrar computer system associated with a federated network of computing devices. The method further comprises generating a unique address for each API included in the registration information. The method further comprises generating a token confirming the registration of the APIs where the token identifies a trust relationship within the federated network of computing devices. The method further comprises receiving a request for the token from another registrar computer system that includes a canonical address for a particular API of the one or more APIs. The method further comprises providing the token to establish a secure connection with the federated network of computing devices.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods in which resource-related content is provided to a number of mobile devices. In some embodiments, as a content provider streams a media presentation or a live real-world event occurs, it may also provide an indication of a resource to a content distribution hub. Upon receiving that indication of the resource, the content distribution hub may identify and/or generate resource-related content relevant to the indicated resource. The resource-related content may then be distributed to a number of subscriber devices according to subscription data maintained by the content distribution hub. In some embodiments, the content hub is also configured to initiate transactions related to the resources.
