Abstract:
A hard disk drive that includes a voice coil motor and a micro-actuator. The micro-actuator is controlled by a servo that utilizes a micro-actuator controller and a corresponding micro-actuator transfer function. The servo enters a mode to self-determine at least one transfer function coefficient of the micro-actuator controller.
Abstract:
A hard disk drive that includes a voice coil motor and a micro-actuator. The micro-actuator is controlled by a servo that utilizes a micro-actuator calibration parameter. To compensate for temperature changes within the disk drive the micro-actuator calibration parameter is periodically updated.
Abstract:
A film (e.g., silicon polymer film, photoresist film) may be removed by applying a composition including a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, a sulfoxide compound, a dialkylene glycol alkyl ether, and/or water to the film. A silicon polymer film (e.g., hard mask layer) and a photoresist film, for example, may be removed by the composition using an in-situ process. Additionally, the composition may remove the silicon polymer film and the photoresist film while preventing or reducing damage to an underlying layer and the generation of particle-type etch residue.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for efficiently allocating a transmission period in a wireless network system. An access point (AP) transmits a PSMP frame indicating a downlink period provided to each station (STA) and a minimum amount of an uplink period allocated to each STA, and at least one sub PSMP frame indicating an uplink period additionally provided for an STA that transmitted a resource request message for remaining queued data in the uplink period indicated by the PSMP frame. If the uplink period indicated by the PSMP frame is insufficient to transmit the queued data, the STA transmits a data unit including a part of the queued data and a resource request message for the remaining queued data in the uplink period. After transmitting the resource request message, the STA receives the sub PSMP frame after the full period indicated by the sub PSMP frame, and transmits the remaining queued data to the AP in the uplink period indicted by the sub PSMP frame.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for allocating a transmission period in a wireless network system. An access point (AP) transmits a PSMP frame indicating a downlink period and an uplink period allocated to each station (STA), and at least one sub PSMP frame indicating an allocated downlink period for at least one of a retransmission of downlink data and a transmission of an ACK indicating successful receipt of uplink data. After exchanging data with the AP in the downlink and uplink periods indicated by the PSMP frame, an STA receives the each sub PSMP frame, and performs at least one of a reception of the retransmitted downlink data and a reception of the ACK in the downlink period indicated by the each sub MAP frame.

Abstract:
A method is provided for efficiently allocating a transmission period in a WLAN system. An access point (AP) transmits a PSMP message providing a downlink period and an uplink period provided to each station (STA), and at least one sub PSMP frame indicating a period of at least one of a downlink and an uplink for an STA requiring additional resource allocation. After exchanging data with the AP in the downlink and uplink periods provided by the PSMP frame, if there is a need for additional resource allocation, the STA receives the at least one sub PSMP frame and exchanges data with the AP in the period provided by the each sub PSMP frame.
Abstract:
A method for detecting and decoding a signal in a communication system based on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). A signal is received through multiple receive antennas. A decision error occurring at a symbol decision time is considered and a symbol is detected from transmitted symbols. Original data transmitted from the detected symbol is recovered. The performance of a coded bit system can be significantly improved using a new equalization matrix G considering a decision error.
Abstract:
A slurry composition includes an acidic aqueous solution and one or both of, an amphoteric surfactant and a glycol compound. Examples of the amphoteric surfactant include a betaine compound and an amino acid compound, and examples of the amino acid compound include lysine, proline and arginine. Examples of the glycol compound include diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a bitmap structure which enables the size of a bitmap field containing reception result information to be significantly reduced while fully performing its acknowledgment function. To this end, a message region for recording indicators, which enables reception success or failure for the maximum allowable SN level packets treatable by block ACK to be confirmed, is assigned. A message region for recording only the reception results for unsuccessfully received packets is also assigned. A receiving party confirms the unsuccessfully received packets through the indicators, and retransmits the unsuccessfully received packets. Also, a transmitting party provides the number of SN level packets and the maximum number of fragmentation packets to the receiving party. The receiving party determines an optimized bitmap configuration scheme, and transmits the reception results for the respective fragmentation packets to the transmitting party based on the determined bitmap configuration scheme.
