20110096750DYNAMIC GATEWAY SELECTION PROCESS - A selection mechanism and a selection process are disclosed that provide the selection of a network device based on defined criteria to allow efficient use of the network and load balancing. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes receiving an initial attachment at a gateway including an identifier of a radio attachment point, obtaining a name for the radio attachment point based on the identifier, accessing a list of names of packet data network gateways (PGWs) that can serve the initial attachment to provide a network connection, comparing the name for the radio attachment point with the list of names of the PGWs to determine at least one PGW that provides a closest match to the name for the radio attachment point, and selecting at least one PGW that provides the closest match to establish the network connection.04-28-2011

20100142073METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING FLY-HEIGHT OF A PERPENDICULAR-MAGNETIC-RECORDING HEAD IN A HARD DISK DRIVE - A method for controlling proximity of a read element of a perpendicular-magnetic-recording (PMR) head to a PMR disk. The method includes: a) writing recorded data with a write element of the PMR head to the PMR disk; b) providing a proximity-control setting to a proximity-control element; c) positioning the read element of the PMR head with the proximity-control element as determined by the proximity-control setting in communication with the PMR disk for reading recorded data back from the PMR disk; d) measuring a resolution of a read-back signal of recorded data on the PMR disk associated with the proximity-control setting; e) determining if the resolution measured for the read-back signal of recorded data on the PMR disk satisfies a criterion for the resolution of the read-back signal of recorded data; and, f) changing the proximity-control setting, and repeating b), c), d) and e), unless the resolution satisfies the criterion.06-10-2010
20100254041PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING SYSTEM WITH HELICAL WRITE COIL AND AUXILIARY COIL FOR FAST SWITCHING OF WRITE POLE MAGNETIZATION - A perpendicular magnetic recording system has a write head having a main helical coil (the write coil) and main pole (the write pole) that directs write flux in a direction perpendicular to the recording layer in the magnetic recording medium, and an auxiliary coil and auxiliary pole that injects magnetic flux into the write pole at an angle to the primary or perpendicular axis of the write pole. The auxiliary coil is preferably a helical coil wrapped around the auxiliary pole. The additional flux from the auxiliary pole, which is injected non-parallel to the primary magnetization of the write pole, exerts a relatively large torque on the magnetization of the write pole, thereby facilitating magnetization reversal of the write pole. Electrical circuitry is connected to the main coil and the auxiliary coil to generate the auxiliary flux simultaneous with the switching of the magnetization of the write pole.10-07-2010
20110038080PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING WRITE HEAD WITH SPIN TORQUE OSCILLATOR FOR FAST SWITCHING OF WRITE POLE MAGNETIZATION - A perpendicular magnetic recording write head that a write pole, an electrically conductive coil coupled to the write pole for generating magnetic flux in the write pole in the presence of electrical write current, and a spin torque oscillator (STO) that injects auxiliary magnetic flux to the write pole in a direction generally orthogonal to the write pole to facilitate magnetization switching of the write pole. The STO comprises a stack of layers including electrodes, a pinned ferromagnetic layer having a fixed, a free ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization free to rotate, and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned and free layers. The free layer may be oriented either substantially orthogonal to the write pole or substantially parallel to the write pole, in which latter embodiment a flux guide may be located between the free layer and the write pole for directing the auxiliary magnetic flux from the free layer to the write pole.02-17-2011
20110128646SYNCHRONIZED REWRITING OF DATA - A hard disk drive (HDD) including a magnetic disk, the magnetic disk including a data track. The HDD also includes a synchronized rewrite controller for synchronizing a plurality of rewrites of a data pattern on a location of the track of the magnetic disk and the HDD includes a write head controlled by the synchronized rewrite controller for writing the data pattern on the location of the data track and rewriting the data pattern a plurality of times on the location in synchronization with a prior writing of the data pattern on the data track.06-02-2011
20110149441MAGNETIC RECORDING DISK DRIVE WITH WRITE DRIVER TO WRITE HEAD TRANSMISSION LINE HAVING NON-UNIFORM SECTIONS FOR OPTIMAL WRITE CURRENT PULSE OVERSHOOT - An interconnect between the write driver and the write head in a magnetic recording disk drive enables an inherent write current overshoot. The interconnect includes an integrated lead suspension (ILS) and a short flex cable that connects the write driver circuitry to the ILS. The interconnect is a two-segment transmission line, with the first segment connected to the write driver having multiple sub-segments or sections with non-uniform impedance levels. The section of the first segment that connects to the write driver is the short flex cable and has an impedance substantially higher than the source impedance Z06-23-2011

20120046799OVERHEAD POWER LINE MONITOR - A device for monitoring and measuring the electrical and mechanical parameters of a power line conductor. Sensors of the device measure conductor temperature, the angle of inclination of the overhead conductor, current flowing in the conductor, and voltage to ground. The device has a low-power mode in which parameters of the power line conductor are not measured. Upon detecting a change in an electrical or mechanical value of the power line conductor, the device measures parameters of the power line conductor for a predetermined length of time before returning to the low power mode.02-23-2012
