    摘要: An ultrasound information processing system is disclosed in which ultrasound image data is packetized into ultrasound information packets and routed to one or more of a plurality of processors for performing image processing operations on the ultrasound image data, the ultrasound information packets being routed according to entries in a host-programmable routing table. A common distribution bus is coupled between packetizing circuitry and dedicated input buffers corresponding to each processor for distributing the ultrasound information packets, and a common output bus to is used to transfer processed image data from the processors to an output device. The disclosed ultrasound information processing system architecture allows for a high throughput rate for accommodating real-time image processing operations, while also allowing for ready programmability and upgradability. Advantageously, the disclosed ultrasound information processing system may be readily upgraded by coupling additional processors to the common distribution bus and the common output bus and by reprogramming the routing table to include the additional processors as destinations for the ultrasound information packets. The disclosed ultrasound information processing system architecture also provides for added field reliability by providing for an optional spare processor coupled to the common distribution bus and the common output bus, wherein upon detection of a failure of one of the existing processors, the optional spare processor may be loaded with a copy of a program being run by the failing processor and the routing table may by automatically modified to redirect ultrasound data packets from the failing processor to the spare processor.

    摘要: A magnetic recording disk with a glass substrate is textured by a process which creates an array of bumps in a magnetic head contact start and stop (CSS) region of the disk. The texturing process uses a laser to provide pulses of predetermined energy fluence on the glass substrate to produce a plurality of raised bumps in the substrate surface, each bump having a surface elevation controllable to within a few nanometers. The bumps are created without unwanted micro-cracking or ejection of surface material by exploiting a narrow operating region below the abrupt thermal shock fluence threshold of the glass substrate. This textured glass substrate provides the magnetic recording disk with improved stiction, wear, coatability and sensor flying height properties.

    摘要: A process for creating an array of bumps to texture a brittle nonmetallic surface, such as a glass substrate for data recording disks. The texturing process uses a laser to provide pulses of proper energy fluence to the brittle glass surface to produce a plurality of raised bumps in the surface. The bump creation is accomplished without unwanted micro-cracking or ejection of surface material by limiting the laser pulse fluence to a value in a narrow operating region discovered below the abrupt thermal shock fluence threshold for the brittle nonmetallic surface material. The process is also applicable to other brittle surface textures, such as those intended for use as "stamping surfaces" for the contact reproduction of the negative of a surface pattern, such as an optical disk.
