摘要： A method that allows a digital communications system to detect the presence of transmitted messages in noisy environments. The system includes an OFDM transmitter and an OFDM receiver. The OFDM transmitter converts a digital signal to be transmitted to a plurality of sub-signals, each corresponding to a respective sub-carrier frequency. The signal is a packet including a preamble field having a known data pattern. The transmitter pre-codes the preamble data pattern, maps the data to corresponding phase information, converts the sub-signals to the time domain, and converts the sub-signals to analog form for subsequent transmission. The OFDM receiver receives the transmitted sub-signals, converts the sub-signals to digital form, converts the sub-signals to the frequency domain, and subjects the sub-signals to preamble detection processing to detect the signals' presence. By pre-coding the preamble data pattern and defining the received sub-signals in terms of the phase difference between adjacent sub-carriers, the detection of the transmitted messages can be performed in a manner that is insensitive to phase offset.

摘要： Various systems and methods for LCD backlight control are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments of the present invention provide an LCD backlight circuit with an analog inverter circuit that provides a drive voltage to a lamp. A current traversing the lamp is sensed and provided to a digital control circuit. Based on the sensed current, the digital control circuit generates a control signal that is fed back to the analog inverter circuit. In some cases, the digital control circuit is used to cause a gradual increase in voltage applied to the lamp to achieve ignition of the lamp. In other cases, the digital control is used to provide a pre-distorted sine wave that attenuates one or more harmonics introduced into the system by the non-linearities of the lamp.

摘要： In a disk storage device dedicated servo system, a reference track is written in the outer guardband of the servo surface and each of the data surfaces. Supplemental position error signal (PES) values are obtained from the difference of servo and data surface samples at a plurality of locations around the disk and stored for access during read/write operations. The supplemental PES values are combined with the dedicated surface PES values to yield a composite PES that more accurately follows the data track centerline of the disk surface being addressed. The supplemental PES values are also periodically updated. To provide a more accurate correction of the composite PES, two consecutive supplemental values are used and an interpolation is calculated to provide a continuously changing supplemental PES value for modification of each sector actuator drive pulse between the two current supplemental PES values. Provision is also made in the apparatus to make the correction technique tolerant of tangential skew that may make tracks unreadable because of early or late timing through the provision of sequences of alternative early and later sample sector sequences.

摘要： The present invention compensates for variations in the angular velocity of the drive's spindle motor by periodically dropping clocks to a counter based upon the previous servo wedge-to-wedge timing. This enables a substantially constant count to be maintained between servo wedges and allows a more predictable generation of the data sector pulses. A more predictable generation of the data sector pulses enables the size of the guard band preceding each data sector to be decreased and the capacity of the disk to be correspondingly increased.

摘要： A technique that reduces or eliminates the non-linearities associated with the internal feedback sensor used in a micro-electro-mechanical mirror assembly. Using the relatively linear response of the mirror positioning motor, associated driver electronics, and the mirror itself, a calibration is performed that compensates for the internal feedback sensor non-linearity. An expected position can then be calculated simply by multiplying the gain of the system by the output, due to the good inherent linearity in the system. The calibration will compare measured versus expected position criteria for a predefined set of constant outputs. The data will form a look-up table that will be used to correct for the sensor non-linearities.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed comprising a bias layer in a magnetoresistive (MR) head actuated over a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector, wherein when the sync mark pattern is detected a sync mark detect signal and a polarity signal are generated. The polarity signal indicates when the polarity of the bias layer has deviated from a preferred polarity, wherein the polarity of the bias layer is realigned back toward the preferred polarity.
