摘要： A method of preventing a write operation to a disc in a disc drive during a shock event without the use of a separate shock sensor comprises steps of monitoring an actuator voice coil motor (VCM) control plant output signal, generating an actuator voice coil motor (VCM) plant model module output signal, comparing the VCM plant model module output signal to the VCM control plant module output signal to produce a difference signal, and triggering a write protect gate if the difference signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The system comprises a voice coil motor (VCM) control plant module sensitive to a shock event providing a VCM control plant module output, a voice coil motor (VCM) plant model module initially insensitive to the shock event producing a VCM plant model module output, a first comparator module coupled to receive the VCM control plant module output and the VCM plant model module output, operable to generate a difference signal between the model plant module output and the VCM control plant module output, and a triggering module receiving the difference signal for generating a write protect gate signal if the difference signal exceeds a predetermined shock threshold.

摘要： An apparatus for unloading a moveable member comprises a ramp structure with an inclined surface. A lift tab of the moveable member advances along the ramp structure to the inclined surface while pivoting about a pivot point to undergo an increase in elevation above a base surface. The inclined surface has a slope determined in relation to angular deflection of the lift tab induced by said increase in elevation. Preferably, the slope of the inclined surface substantially matches an angle of the lift tab when the lift tab is disposed on the inclined surface. The inclined surface preferably constitutes a parking surface, and the ramp structure further preferably comprises an entry/exit ramp surface and a latch surface along which the lift tab travels to reach the parking surface. The moveable member preferably comprises a flexible suspension which supports a transducer adjacent a data storage medium in a data storage device.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compensating for errors in servo systems. An improved zero acceleration path (ZAP) correction technique is provided, wherein selected tracks of a data storage device are used for ZAP processing in order to reduce the overall time required to perform error compensation for a storage device. For a given selected track to be ZAPed, track profiles of adjoining tracks are used in addition to the track profile of the selected track as part of the ZAP correction determination for the selected track. Using adjacent track profiles as part of the ZAP correction determination assists in mitigating AC track squeeze issues that would otherwise occur when performing selective track ZAPing.
