Embodiments of the invention provide control of a disk data storage device to prevent off-track writing. In one embodiment, the SA acquires the CYLIDs and ADC Values generated from the SERVO SIGNALs acquired previously, and generates DACOUT which defines a driving current of the VCM driver. The SA monitors the DACOUT generated and determines whether the DACOUT is within a predefined range. If the DACOUT is outside the predefined range, data writing is inhibited. By monitoring the DACOUT, it is possible for the VCM driver to detect supply of an overcurrent to the VCM driver 210 beforehand, and off-track writing can thus be prevented.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to detecting an abnormality in head flying height. In one embodiment, an AGC controller establishes the gain of the reproduced signal through gain adjustment using the servo AGC of the servo signal. A digital filter performs filtering processing by use of the obtained gain data g and the gain data of previous sectors. A comparative judgment section obtains filtered gain data G from the digital filter and compares the gain data G with a reference value CRITERIA to determine whether the flying height is normal or abnormal. If the gain G is larger than the reference value CRITERIA, then the data write operation is inhibited. The filter parameters of the digital filter are programmable parameters which can be set and changed.

To provide a method of starting a data storage unit which allows a computer system to be used as early as possible. The present invention relates to a method for starting up a computer system having a data storage unit equipped with an actuator arm which supports a flexible cable. The method allows a command from the host computer to be processed before generation of corrected tension data for the flexible cable. The method includes the steps of turning on power; executing a start operation, excluding generation of corrected tension data of the flexible cable; causing an access command from a host computer to be in an executable state, following the step of executing a start operation; and executing generation of corrected tension data of the flexible cable, following the step of causing an access command from a host computer to be in an executable state.

A method and system are disclosed to prevent significant degradation of a data transfer rate in write cache transfer, thereby keeping the minimum data transfer rate high. The initial value Ti of the virtual buffer full capacity T(tx) is set to F/N (where F is a data capacity of the buffer, and N>1) and it is determined if the amount of write cached data S(tx) reaches the virtual buffer full capacity T(tx) so that write cache transfer is enabled during an S(tx)

In order to handle platter flutter in a hard disk operated at high speed (e.g. 10,000 RPM) and maintain tracking of read/write head, peak filters are added to a head tracking servo feedback loop. In some embodiments, several lag-lead type peak filters centered at a plurality of flutter mode frequencies are provided to process a Position Error Signal (PES) read from the read/write head. The several filter are preferably arranged in series (i.e. to operate on the PES sequentially), alternatively the filters can be arranged in parallel. Phase lags and leads caused by the several filters partially cancel at frequencies intermediate center frequencies of the several filters. According to another embodiment two or more, preferably three narrow band filters are used to cover the spectrum of each flutter mode. In a configuration mode, a spectrum of the flutter modes can be obtained and used to set the center frequencies, and bandwidths of filters used to filter out the flutter modes.

A disk device, track positioning method, and method for generating a position error signal in which the occurrence of a wrong correction operation can be prevented by creating an appropriate PES without using a burst pattern having a defect, and reassign sectors can be decreased by decreasing defective sectors thereby to reduce the performance degradation is disclosed. In the disk device and track positioning method, the defect of a burst pattern read out from a disk is detected, and if a defect is detected in the burst pattern, a data value corresponding to the sum data of the burst pattern pair having the defect detected is obtained by measuring the maximum amplitude value of the burst pattern pairing with the burst pattern having the defect detected, and a PES is created according to the amplitude of the burst pattern having the defect detected and the maximum amplitude value.

A disk drive seek control system device to reduce track pitch. When data is recorded, an offset value is added to the position of a read head element along the width of a track corresponding to an offset &Dgr;w between the read head element and a write head element. The value of the offset depends on the yaw angle &thgr; of the head. When data is read, the position of the read head element is chosen to be either the position of the write head element during write operations, or the midpoint between the position of the write head element and the read head element during write operations, or the center of a track.

An actuator control system and a magnetic disk device having a hybrid control system. The actuator control system includes an LPF that can be processed by the hardware architecture of a HDD that does not include a state estimator. The actuator control system includes an actuator 10, a VCM driver circuit 11 for driving the actuator 10, an ADC 12 for converting the position signal from the actuator 10 into a digital position signal, an MPU 13 for generating the control signal to the actuator 10 in response to the digital position signal, a DAC 14 for converting the control signal into an analog control signal, and an LPF 15 coupled between DAC 14 and VCM driver circuit 11. The MPU 13 compensates the phase delay resulting from the LPF 15 by digital control. Additionally, the digital control reconstructs the state model of a plant including the LPF 15 to a state model requiring no state estimator.

A process for the thermal cracking of heavy oils with a fluidized particulate heat carrier is carried out while recovering particles of the heat carrier accompanied by a stream of the reaction product by means of a cyclone and a gravitational separator, returning the particles of the heat carrier recovered by the cyclone directly to the reactor and returning the particles of the heat carrier recovered by the gravitational separator to the reactor in the form of suspension in a cracked oil.
