摘要:
Various aspects are directed to a data storage device comprising one or more disks, an actuator mechanism configured to position a selected head among one or more heads proximate to a corresponding disk surface among the one or more disks, and one or more processing devices. The one or more processing devices are configured to detect repeatable runout (RRO) noise components from a measurement of fly height of the selected head above one or more sectors of a fly height measurement track, and remove the detected RRO noise components from one or more per-sector readback signal measurements.

According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording device includes a magnetic head and a controller. The magnetic head includes first and second magnetic poles, a magnetic element provided between the first and second magnetic poles, and first and second terminals. The controller is configured to perform a recording operation. In the recording operation, the controller is configured to supply a recording current to the coil while applying an element voltage not less than a first voltage and not more than a second voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal. A differential resistance of the magnetic element when a positive applied voltage applied between the first terminal and the second terminal is changed while the recording current is supplied to the coil becomes a first peak when the applied voltage is the first voltage.

A noise cancellation technique is presented with improved frequency resolution. The method includes: acquiring a digitized noise signal from an environment in which the audio signal stream is present; receiving a data sample from the digitized noise signal; appending one or more additional samples to the data sample to form a series of samples, where magnitude for each of the one or more additional samples is substantially zero; computing a frequency domain representation of the series of samples in the frequency domain; shifting the frequency domain representation of the series of samples in time using the digital processor circuit, thereby producing a shifted frequency domain representation of the series of samples; converting the shifted frequency domain representation of the series of samples to time domain to form a portion of an anti-noise signal; and outputting the anti-noise signal into the audio signal stream to abate the noise through destructive interference.

Loud sounds with fast rise times, like gunfire and explosions, can cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Unfortunately, current models do not adequately explain how impulsive sounds cause NIHL, which makes it difficult to predict and prevent NIHL on battlefields and other hostile or rugged environments. Fortunately, the impulsive sounds experienced by soldiers and others working in rugged environments can be recorded using a compact, portable system that acquires, digitizes, and stores high-bandwidth audio data. An example of this system can be mounted on a helmet or other article and used to record hours of audio data at a bandwidth of 20 kHz or higher, which is broad enough to capture sounds with rise times less than 50 ms. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) digitizes these broadband audio signals at rate of 40 kHz or higher to preserve the impulse information. A processor transfers the digitized samples from a buffer to a memory card for later retrieval using an interrupt-driven processing technique.

Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing unequal error correction code (ECC) in multi-track recording. A device may comprise a circuit configured to implement an error correction coding scheme applying different code rate error correction codes on adjacent tracks within a same recording zone. The circuit may perform a read operation, including simultaneously detecting bits from a first track and a second track of the adjacent tracks, iteratively applying detected bits from the first track to perform adjacent track interference cancellation (ATIC) to decode bits from the second track, and iteratively applying detected bits from the second track to perform ATIC to decode bits from the first track.
摘要:
A set of decisions is determined based at last in part on a set of samples. For a given sample in the set of samples, a low frequency noise estimate is estimated based at least in part on (1) at least some samples from the set of samples and (2) at least some decisions from the set of decisions. A reduced noise sample is generated by removing the low frequency noise estimate from the given sample.

Noise generation in transferring data is suppressed or prevented by transferring data at a data transfer rate according to the amount of data to be transferred to a memory. In a reproducing apparatus, when a read unit or both reads data from a storage medium or both, a determination unit determines the type of the storage medium from which the data is read, then, according to the determined type of the storage medium, a transfer rate change unit orders a data transfer unit to use a preset transfer rate corresponding to the type of the storage medium. The data transfer unit transfers the read data to the temporary storage unit at the ordered transfer rate. This allows data to be transferred without a significant change in the amount of data transfer, which suppresses or prevents noise.

An optical disc reproducing apparatus has a function of setting a cutoff frequency and a boost amount of a read out signal from an optical disc and performing equalizer adjustment, and includes a system controller for searching for an optimal jitter value by simultaneously changing a cutoff frequency and a boost amount to thereby set positions of jitter measuring points determined on a coordinate plane whose abscissas represent cutoff frequencies and whose ordinates represent boost amounts, and by moving the measuring points.

In a circuit board including an analog circuit and a digital circuit, the S/N ratio reduction resulting from the interference of digital signals with analog signals is suppressed. The circuit board includes a digital signal processing section forming part of the digital circuit, digital signal external conductors connected to the digital signal processing section, and digital signal output control means for interrupting the transmission of the digital signals from the digital signal processing section to the digital signal external conductors. A decrease in the limitation for the wiring pattern and the device arrangement provides an increase in the degree of freedom for designing, thereby making it possible to miniaturize the circuit board and to reduce the manufacturing cost thereof.
