    摘要: The invention provides a method for detection of inflammatory disease in a subject that comprises assaying a test sample of peripheral blood from the subject for a marker of DNA damage. An elevated amount of marker present in the test sample compared to control sample is indicative of inflammatory disease activity, including sub-clinical inflammation. The method can be adapted for quantitatively monitoring the efficacy of treatment of inflammatory disease in a subject. Markers of DNA damage include single- and/or double-stranded breaks in leukocytes, oxidative DNA damage in leukocytes, or a marker of nitric oxide oxidative activity (protein nitrosylation in leukocytes). The inflammatory disease can be inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease). The invention may also be used for detection of other types of inflammatory disease, such as non-immune intestinal inflammatory disease (diverticulitis, pseudomembranous colitis), autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, uveitis, vasculitis), or non-immune lung diseases (asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, and interstitial pneumonitis). This unexpected discovery of markers of genotoxicity present in circulating leukocytes enables detection of inflammation occurring at a localized site with a relatively simple and minimally invasive assay using peripheral blood.

    摘要: The disclosure is related to systems and methods for data detection and device optimization. In one example, a device may include an interface circuit for data transmission, and an interface detection module adapted to determine a characteristic of a data transfer over the interface circuit. The device may implement an optimization profile for the device based upon the determined characteristic. Further, a device may be configured to measure a data transfer rate, determine an interface type based on the data transfer rate, and implement an optimization profile based on the interface type. The optimization profile may optimize a system for power consumption, performance, or other benefits.

    摘要: Magnetic data storage disks, particularly along dedicated transducing head contact regions, are laser textured according to a process in which beam shaping optical components impart an elliptical or otherwise elongated cross-section to the laser beam. Consequently, individual texturing features such as rims and nodules are elliptical or elongate, with more gradual height gradients in directions parallel to their major axes. The texturing features further are oriented with respect to the direction of transducing head accelerations and decelerations, which yields high performance in terms of reduced dynamic friction, reduced stiction and better wear characteristics. Texturing features are formed in a variety of patterns, including patterns with adjacent features contacting one another. A further refinement involves forming features with substantially different slopes on opposites sides of a maximum height region.

Consequently, individual texturing features such as rims and nodules are elliptical or elongate, with more gradual height gradients in directions parallel to their major axes. The texturing features further are oriented with respect to the direction of transducing head accelerations and decelerations, which yields high performance in terms of reduced flying height, improved glide avalanche, reduced dynamic friction, reduced stiction and better wear characteristics. Texturing features are formed in a variety of patterns, including patterns with adjacent features contacting one another.

    摘要: A tester for use in detecting asperities in a disc surface of a storage system includes a load arm having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the load arm is positioned adjacent the disc surface. A slider is carried on the distal end of the load arm adjacent the disc surface. A thermal sensor is coupled to the slider and provides an electrical output in response to a thermal input due to interaction between the thermal sensor and asperity on the disc surface. Detection circuitry coupled to the thermal sensor detects the electrical output from the thermal sensor and responsively provides a detection output indicating the occurrence of an asperity on the disc surface.
