| 20100162369 | Automatically Adding User Names to Server User List - A system and method in which when a user logs into a client computer with his user name, the client computer determines the existence of a server and the server automatically adds the user name to the list of users maintained by the server, is disclosed. With the user name automatically populated in the server user list, the administrator may easily select and configure access for the user. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20090122444 | METHOD OF RELIABLE USAGE OF DYNAMIC FLY-HEIGHT CONTROL AT ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMES - A method of dynamic fly-height control in a disk drive, comprising measuring current environmental parameters, determining an operation heater power based on the current environmental parameters, and applying the operation heater power to adjust the fly-height of a head. Using the current environmental parameters to interpolate an estimated current touch down heater power from the predetermined set of environmental parameters and plurality of corresponding touch down heater powers. A system of dynamic fly-height control includes a touch down power module to generate a plurality of environmental parameters and corresponding touch down heater powers, an environment module to receive the plurality of environmental parameters and corresponding touch down heater powers and generate an estimated touch down heater power based on measured current environmental parameters, and a heater module to receive the estimated touch down heater power and generate an operation heater power to control a fly-height of a head. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090052081 | Compensation for Variable Servo Track Width - A track map of a disk drive is generated to compensate for various conditions. A track map is a stored measurement of every “half” servo track width on a disk. Every servo half track width is measured in the factory on a disk and then the data is stored on the disk for use during drive operations. When an individual track is accessed, the appropriate servo half track width data is pulled from memory and is used to adjust a scale factor for that local half track width. The track map may be used to compensate for various conditions including varying servo track width, microjog distance, and data track spacing. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090027805 | Method and System for Measuring Spacing in a Perpendicular Magnetic Recording - PMR spacing is measured by writing a pattern on a magnetic storage layer in non-return-to-zero notation, reading the pattern from the magnetic storage layer, analyzing a first harmonic component of the pattern that has a first amplitude, analyzing a second harmonic component of the pattern that has a second amplitude, measuring a ratio between the first and the second amplitudes of the first and second harmonic components, and determining a first spacing based on the ratio. In another embodiment, spacing is measured by analyzing a third harmonic component on the magnetic storage layer that has a third amplitude, measuring a difference in the amplitudes of the second and the third harmonic components while varying the first spacing and taking the ratio of the difference of the two each harmonic components. | 01-29-2009 |
