Abstract: An apparatus is provided including a shaft, wherein the shaft is stationary. A rotatable component is configured to rotate with respect to the shaft. A fluid is operable to flow between the shaft and the rotatable component. A limiter is at a first axial end of the shaft, and a cup is at a second axial end of the shaft. An axially extending grooved region is between the limiter and the rotatable component.

Abstract: Method of reducing simultaneous switching output (SSO) impact in a system through the use of signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI) simulations for each channel in the system includes calculating a worst case scenario current for a channel of the system, and calculating a worst case channel skew for a channel of the system. Based on the worst case scenario current and the worst case channel skew, a switching current is determined for the system.

Abstract: A method includes generating a map for a storage tier. The map maps a plurality of extents to physical locations on the storage tier and is implemented as a tree with each extent to physical location mapping being one of a plurality of leaf extent nodes of the tree. Individual ones of the plurality of leaf extent nodes are compressed into small extent nodes. Different groups of the small extent nodes are associated with carrier nodes. A command that involves an extent of the plurality of extents, which is represented by a small extent node in one of the carrier nodes, is received from a host. A decompression operation is performed on the small extent node in the carrier node to provide a leaf extent node for the extent associated with the host command. An extent node operation is performed on the leaf extent node for the extent.

Abstract: A method includes immersing a wafer in an electrolyte including a plurality of compounds having elements of a high damping magnetic alloy with very low impurity and small uniform grain size. The method also includes applying a pulsed current with a certain range of duty cycle and pulse length to the wafer when the wafer is immersed in an electrolyte. The wafer is removed from the electrolyte when a layer of the high damping magnetic alloy is formed on the wafer.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for decoding data. In some embodiments, an LDPC decoder has a variable node circuit (VNC) with a plurality of variable nodes configured to store bit reliability values of m-bit code bits. A check node circuit (CNC) has a plurality of check nodes configured to perform parity check operations upon n-bit messages from the VNC. Each n-bit message is formed from a combination of the bit reliability values and stored messages from the check nodes. A pre-saturation compensation circuit is configured to maintain a magnitude of each n-bit message received by the CNC below a saturation limit comprising the maximum value that can be expressed using p bits, with p less than n and each of the n-bit messages received by the CNC having a different magnitude. The pre-saturation compensation circuit may apply different scaling and/or bias factors to the n-bit messages over different decoding iterations.

Abstract: In one implementation, the disclosure provides a method comprising detecting one or more areas of a storage medium having a data pattern with a plurality of consecutive bits, where the consecutive bits have the same polarity. The method further comprises encoding additional information on a section of the one or more detected areas, where the section of the one or more detected areas has a signal to noise ratio (SNR) higher than SNR of the other areas of the storage media.

Abstract: A slider configured for heat-assisted magnetic recording includes a laser diode optically coupled to a waveguide of the slider. A power supply is coupled to the laser diode. A preamplifier is coupled to the power supply. The preamplifier is configured to monitor a forward voltage across the laser diode while operating the laser diode at a constant current during a write operation, detect a change in the forward voltage indicative of laser power instability, and generate a signal in response to detecting the forward voltage change.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a circuit configured to generate a set of first ADC samples based on a first signal associated with a first read head position and a failed segment and to generate a set of second ADC samples based on a second signal associated with a second read head position and the failed segment. The circuit may then generate, by a MISO equalizer, a set of equalized ADC samples based on the set of first ADC samples and the set of second ADC samples.

Abstract: One or more magnetic recording disks are coupled to a spindle motor, each of the disks having opposing recording surfaces. Two or more actuators are moveable independently over at least a first recording surface of the one or more disks. A first actuator of the two or more actuators comprises a first write head and a first read head. A second actuator of the two or more actuators comprises at least a second read head and may include a second write head. A controller is coupled to the two or more actuators and configured to write data to a track on the first recording surface using the first write head, and perform a read operation on the data written to the track using the second read head. The controller is also configured to verify that the data was successfully written to the track in response to the read operation. The read operation can be performed within less than one revolution of the first recording surface after the write operation.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a method that improves SMR throughput in vibration in storage systems. In one implementation, the method comprises receiving a write command to write data on a first track in a band of a storage medium, performing a vibration detection scheme to identify vibration events, determining if a number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold, skipping the first track responsive to determining the number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold, seeking to a second track adjacent to the first track, increasing an OCLIM on the second track adjacent to the first track from a default OCLIM to an increased OCLIM, and shifting the writer center on the second track adjacent to the first track.
