| 20090085797 | Configurable radar sensor - Multiple signal characteristics representing an entire field of view of an FMCW (FM-CW) sensor are evaluated to determine whether the field of view has changed. Signal characteristics representing the field can be compared to representative signal characteristics obtained from previous scans. At least one signal characteristic representing at least a portion of the scene can be evaluated by comparing the signal characteristic to a dynamic threshold. The dynamic threshold can be redefined after each scan from the statistics of the signal characteristic. The dead zone of a sensor can be reduced by filtering out noise that would otherwise overshadow a signal representing the near-field region of a scene. The noise can be filtered by subtracting a polynomial curve from a time-domain signal representing the scene after fitting the polynomial curve to a representative signal generated based on previous scene scans. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20100288421 | IMPLANTABLE PROSTHESIS HAVING REINFORCED ATTACHMENT SITES - The present invention provides an implantable graft that includes an elongate graft tube having opposing ends defining an attachment site for attaching the graft to a stent. The graft further includes a reinforcement member attached adjacent to at least one of the ends of the graft for establishing a reinforced attachment site for the graft, thereby preventing elongation of a suture hole in the material. Furthermore, the present invention provides a graft wherein at least one end of the graft is folded over itself and glued or sutured to itself and/or the stent, thereby forming a reinforcement thereto. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20110005920 | Low Temperature Deposition of Amorphous Thin Films - Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus and method for low temperature physical vapor deposition (PVD) of an amorphous thin film layer of material onto a substrate. A PVD chamber is configured to support a substrate and has a cathode target with a layer of sputtering material thereon, an anode shield, and a magnetron assembly adjacent the target. A high impulse power magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) power supply is coupled to the PVD chamber, the power supply having a charging circuit and a charge storage device. The power supply applies relatively high energy, low duty cycle pulses to the magnetron assembly to sputter, via self ionizing plasma, relatively low energy ions from the layer of sputtering material to deposit an amorphous thin film layer onto the substrate. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20100321830 | SLIDER BODY WITH SELECTIVE HARD COMPONENT REMOVAL - A slider is formed of a two-phase material having a first component and a second component that is harder than the first component. A media-facing surface is formed on two-phase material, with a leading edge extending transversely from the media-facing surface. The second component is selectively removed from the two-phase material in a contact region located along at least one of the leading edge and the media-facing surface, such that a hardness of the slider is reduced in the contact region. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110007423 | Supplemental Layer to Reduce Damage from Recording Head to Recording Media Contact - Recording heads for data storage systems are provided. Recording heads include a substrate layer made of a first material. The substrate layer has a bearing surface side. A tapered feature made of a second material is included on the bearing surface side. The first material is illustratively a multiphase material and the second material is illustratively diamond-like carbon. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110063757 | SLIDER PAD FOR CONTACT MITIGATION - An apparatus and associated method for a slider pad that allows for contact to be mitigated without plastic deformation. Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a slider that presents a transducer and has at least one air bearing surface (ABS) feature. The ABS feature comprises a pair of sidewalls spaced a distance X apart. A pad is deposited on the ABS feature so that the pad comprises a hemispherical cross-section and has a circumferential diameter greater than X. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110195275 | MATERIAL DEPOSITION ON TRANSDUCING HEAD - An apparatus includes a slider body having a leading edge and an opposite trailing edge, as well as a top face and a bottom face each extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The slider body further includes a plurality of protrusions extending from the bottom face, a first recess defined on one of the protrusions, and a sacrificial layer deposited on the slider body in the recess. A bottom surface of the sacrificial layer extends at least as far from the bottom face as bottom surfaces of the plurality of protrusions. In another aspect, a first blocking feature is located at a first uptrack edge on an air bearing surface of a slider, with the first blocking feature being substantially continuous along the first uptrack edge and protruding outwardly from the air bearing surface to reduce particle interaction with the air bearing surface. | 08-11-2011 |
