    Abstract: An apparatus and method for demodulating an amplitude modulated read signal generated by a magnetic head of a hard disk drive. The apparatus includes a pair of serially connected track and hold circuits that receive the read signal. The track or hold state of each circuit is controlled by a phase lock loop circuit which also receives the read signal. The first track and hold circuit initially tracks the read signal to a peak value. The circuit then switches to a hold state and provides a constant output signal that corresponds to the peak voltage of the read signal. While the first track and hold circuit is in the hold state, the second track and hold circuit is in a tracking state. The second track and hold circuit tracks the output of the first circuit. Because the output of the first circuit is a constant value, the second circuit also provides a constant output signal in the tracking state. The first circuit is switched back to the tracking state to again track the amplitude of the read signal, and the second circuit is switched to the hold state. The process is repeated to create a "stepped" demodulated signal. The output signals are compared to a threshold value to detect bit errors in the signal. The constant output signals provide additional energy to the detection circuit to minimize the number of false error signals from the comparator circuit.

    Abstract: A tester for measuring the resistance of magnetoresistive heads as a function of the magnetic field applied to the heads. The tester applies a time varying magnetic field to the magnetoresistive head to be tested and filters the resulting time varying (AC) voltage signal indicative of the resistance of the head with a capacitor to remove the DC component of the signal. The AC component of the signal is then amplified, digitized, and analyzed to obtain the resistance properties of the magnetoresistive head.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for determining the time difference between electrical events utilizes a sinusoidal signal as a reference from which to determine the elapsed time between events represented as electrical pulses. A sine wave and a cosine wave are multiplexed to produce the sinusoidal reference signal. When an event occurs, as indicated by an electrical pulse, the sine wave and the cosine wave are sampled to produce two digital values. A comparator determines which of the two digital values falls within a predetermined range, and transmits a select signal to multiplexer. The multiplexer selects the digital value which falls within the predetermined range. The selected digital value corresponds to an angle value which can be uniquely determined within one cycle of the sinusoidal reference signal. A cycle counter accounts for the number of full cycles which elapse until the next event is detected. The digital information for each event, including the angular position of each event within a cycle of the reference signal, and the number of cycles between events, is stored within a random access memory (RAM) and transmitted to a computer. The time difference between events is then advantageously calculated in real time within the computer using the known frequency of the effective reference signal.

    Abstract: A method of converting a pulse train of electrical signals having a frequency within a known frequency range into digital signals is shown. The method comprises the steps of deriving with a phase-locked loop the frequency of the electrical signals and producing clock pulses at a frequency which is a preselected integer of the electrical signals frequency; deriving an analog input signal from the electrical signals; receiving and counting clock pulses with a pulse scaling circuit for producing count enabling signals; detecting with a peak detecting circuit having a comparator receives as inputs the analog input signal and a analog output signal voltage and an output coupled to and enabling the pulse scaling circuit; producing with a digital counting circuit which is responsive to count enabling signals by changing count direction discrete digital output signals which are stored in a latch register at the time the digital counting circuit changes its count direction; applying the discrete digital output signals to a digital-to-analog converter which produces the analog output signal voltage; and comparing with the comparator the analog input signal with the analog output signal voltage for enabling the digital counting circuit as long as the analog input signal is of a greater magnitude than the analog output signal voltage, and when this condition is reversed, the digital counting circuit is reversed in counting direction, and the binary value thereof is stored in the latch register.

    Abstract: This invention provides for a relay apparatus for use with optical fibers. A first set of optical fiber ends is mechanically secured in a suitably shaped retainer. A second set of optical fiber ends is secured in a second retainer appropriately shaped to move into one of a plurality of mechanically stable positions with respect to the first retainer when biased against the first retainer. These mechanically stable positions bring members of the first and second set of optical fibers into optical alignment. A switching mechanism is provided for moving the first retainer across the second retainer thereby making and breaking optical connections between the first and second set of optical fiber ends. In one embodiment, the retainers are cooperatively shaped by hemispheres, which define a set of mechanically stable alignment positions.
