Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating for hysteresis in a disc drive are described. In one embodiment, a method may use an inverse hysteresis model to linearize effects of hysteresis of a microactuator in the disc drive. The hysteresis model may be a Coleman-Hodgdon hysteresis model. The hysteresis of the microactuator may be characterized, and the inverse hysteresis model may be based at least in part on the characterization. The inverse hysteresis model may be used to implement a digital filter. The digital filter may be employed in series with the microactuator to linearize the effects of hysteresis.

Abstract: A nanochannel DNA sequencing device and related methods of fabrication and of DNA sequencing are provided. In one example, a device may include a nanochannel having a width of no greater than about 2 nm and a height no greater than 1.5 times the width. The device may further include a pair of electrodes having a width of no greater than about 10 nm, the electrodes being exposed within the nanochannel to measure electronical characteristics of a DNA strand passing through the nanochannel. In one example, the nanochannel may be formed using lithography techniques, such as sidewall lithography.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods of forming air bearing surfaces having multi-tier structures using nanoimprint technology and/or 3D printing technology. In some embodiments, a single stage of milling can be used to transfer a multi-tier photoresist pattern into a substrate (e.g., an AlTiC substrate).

Abstract: A printed circuit board assembly includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of signal lanes. The PCBA also includes at least one application-specific integrated circuit operatively mounted to the printed circuit board and connected with the plurality of signal lanes. The PCBA includes a first configuration element operatively mounted to the printed circuit board in a first orientation and at a first location and having a first bridging element for providing an electrical connection between at least a first pair of signal lanes selected from the plurality of signal lanes. The first configuration element also includes a second bridging element so that if the first configuration element were operatively mounted to the printed circuit board in a different, second orientation relative to the printed circuit board, the second bridging element would provide an electrical connection between at least a second pair of signal lanes.

Abstract: A method of forming a read head. The method includes forming first and second read sensors that are substantially trapezoidal in shape. A first read measurement is performed on a storage medium using the first read sensor. A second read measurement is performed on the storage medium using the second read sensor. Based on a comparison of the first and second read measurements to a predetermined quantity, either the first read sensor or the second read sensor is selected to be operational in a data storage device.

Abstract: An apparatus having a circuit is disclosed. The circuit may be configured to (i) generate a sequence of hash values in a table from a stream of data values with repetitive values, (ii) find two consecutive ones of the hash values in the sequence that have a common value and (iii) create a shortened hash chain by generating a pointer in the table at an intermediate location that corresponds to a second of the two consecutive hash values. The pointer generally points forward in the table to an end location that corresponds to a last of the data values in a run of the data values.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for open block refresh management. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a circuit configured to monitor an amount of time a block of a solid-state memory remains in an open state where the block has not been fully filled with data, and in response to reaching an open block time limit, compare an amount of the block already written with data against a threshold amount. When less than a threshold amount of the block has been written with data, the circuit may refresh data from a last N pages from the block by writing the data to a new location, N being a number of pages less than all pages in the block. When more than the threshold amount of the block has been written with data, the circuit may fill a remaining unwritten amount of the block with dummy data.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a semiconductor memory, such as but not limited to a three dimensional (3D) NAND flash memory array. In some embodiments, the memory has non-volatile memory cells arranged into addressable blocks. Each memory cell is configured to store multiple bits. A program/read control circuit programs data sets to and reads data sets from the memory cells in the addressable blocks to service a sequence of host access commands. The circuit concurrently performs background reads in conjunction with the servicing of the host access commands. The background reads result in the reading of a different data set from each of the addressable blocks over each of a succession of time intervals of selected duration. The background reads condition the memory cells prior to a first read operation associated with the host access commands.
