    摘要: The present invention may be regarded as a disk drive comprising a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector by filtering a read signal with a matched filter having an impulse response substantially matched to a dibit response of the disk drive. The output of the matched filter is correlated with a dual polarity correlator to generate first and second correlated signals. The sync mark pattern is detected when either the first or second correlated signals exceeds a threshold.

    摘要: A method for constructing and linearizing a position error signal (PES) derived from primary and quadrature servo burst pairs in an embedded servo disk drive. The construction method mathematically provides predetermined transition values at the commutation positions connecting adjacent PES segments so that the overall, indicated position signal is numerically continuous from segment to segment. The linearization method compensates for nonlinearity in the PES segments, and thereby in the indicated position signal, without affecting the predetermined transition values at all, or by modifying the predetermined transition values while maintaining continuity.

    摘要: In optical wireless networks, light beams are transmitted over-the-air and maximum performance is achieved when light beams are aligned with corresponding light detectors. A feedback control system is created between transmitting and receiving units, wherein the receiving unit provides positional data about the light beam from the transmitting unit. The transmitting unit uses the data provided to make adjustments to its light beam. However, in order to use the positional data, the units must be operating with a common coordinate basis. A method is provided for determining the basis and generating the transformation needed to modify positional data from one unit into information that is useful for the other unit. Additionally, a method is presented for using the positional data to maintain proper alignment of the light beam.

    摘要: The present invention may be regarded as a disk drive comprising a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector, wherein when the sync mark pattern is detected a sync mark detect signal and a polarity signal are generated. The polarity signal represents an expected polarity of pulses in a read signal representing data stored in the sector, wherein the polarity signal enhances the detection of an estimated data sequence from the read signal.

    摘要: A disk drive with a write condition detector generates a write condition signal from a reference signal to warn of a high fly write or a low fly write. The reference signal is generated by the disk drive read/write head by reading a reference segment. The write condition detector processes fly-height varying components from the reference signal. The write condition detector generates a write condition signal, responsive to the fly-height varying components and the threshold, that indicates that the writing of data in a user data segment during the write operation is unsafe when the head deviates from its operating flying-height. The threshold is computed using zone coefficients determined during an intelligent burn in of the disk drive, and is based on a nominal fly height. The write condition signal is processed by a microprocessor that instructs a disk controller to deactivate a write gate controlling the write operation. The disk drive then implements verification, diagnostics and recovery steps to complete the write operation.
