Abstract: Various defects in an electronic assembly can be intelligently identified with a system having at least a server connected to a first capture module and a second capture module. The first capture module may be positioned proximal a first manufacturing line while the second capture module is positioned proximal a second manufacturing line. Images can be collected of first and second electronic assemblies by respective first and second capture modules prior to the images being sent to a classification module of the server where at least one defect is automatically detected in each of the first and second electronic assemblies concurrently with the classification module.

Abstract: A data storage device can consist of a data storage medium that has a recording surface accessed by a first transducing head suspended by a first actuator and a second transducing head suspended by a second actuator. The first actuator may be configured to access a first region of the recording surface while the second actuator is configured to access a second region of the recording surface. The first and second regions can be separate and non-overlapping.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for resource allocation for multi-actuator systems. In some examples, a data storage device can include two or more independently moveable voice coil motor (VCM) actuators where the resources of the system to operate the VCM actuators are divided. The disclosure here describes methods to allocate or re-allocate the divided resources, such as unused resources, to a VCM actuator that has a need for more resources. The methods and systems herein can also be applied to other actuator systems.

Abstract: A waveguide includes a segment with a substantially uniform cure profile and related methods and systems for making and using the same. The waveguide is formed by modifying a laser beam used to write the waveguide to provide a substantially uniform cure profile in the waveguide. A marker characteristic of laser writing may be present in the waveguide. A method or system modifies an intensity profile or a shape profile of a laser beam to proactively compensate for exposure convolution based on the characteristics of the laser beam spot profile. A convolution compensator is positioned in the path of the laser beam to modify the beam spot profile during writing to form the one or more segments of the waveguide in a photo-curable layer.

Abstract: A method of stereoscopic mapping an underwater location includes determining a relative position and relative distance between two separate sensors on separate underwater platforms. Each of the two separate sensors scans a same underwater feature from its respective determined relative position. A stereoscopic image of the underwater feature is created from the two scanned images.
