    摘要: Improvements in placement of timing patterns in self-servowriting include correcting for systematic errors due to geometric effects. A correction is made for varying systematic errors, such as when the recording head has spatially separate read and write elements. Further, servopattern rotation due to residual or unmeasured systematic errors is reduced by using a once per revolution clock index derived from the motor drive current waveform or any other sensor. In one aspect of correcting for systematic errors in the writing of timing patterns on a storage medium of a storage device, a time interval between a trigger pattern written at a first-radial position of the storage medium and a rotational index is measured. The rotational index is related to the rotational orientation of the storage medium with respect to a fixed frame of the storage device. The location of another trigger pattern to be written is shifted, using the measured time interval to determine the shift in location for the another trigger pattern.

    摘要: Improvements in placement of timing patterns in self-servowriting include correcting for random errors. Random errors may be caused by variations in disk velocity and therefore, one technique for correcting for random errors includes reducing velocity jitter. Additionally, random errors can be corrected by improving interval control during the propagation of trigger patterns used in writing timing information on storage media. Further, random errors, in the writing of timing information, can be corrected during a single revolution of the storage media. This eliminates additional rotations, thereby providing a large capital cost savings.

    摘要: Improvements in placement of timing patterns in self-servowriting include detecting and correcting for media defects. A detector is used to detect whether a trigger pattern is within an expected location on the storage medium. If the trigger pattern is not detected, then a physical defect may be present. Thus, in one example, a false trigger pattern is generated. Additionally, a determination is made as to whether a trigger pattern is within an expected trigger pattern region. When the trigger pattern is not within the expected range, then a valid interval window may be modified to adjust the expected trigger pattern region.
