MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240312485 titled 'MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

In this patent application, a controller in a magnetic disk device stops a write operation if it fails to detect a servo mark in a normal servo sector. The controller then resumes the write operation after demodulating the servo data in a short servo sector before the normal sector.

  • The controller stops a write operation upon failure to detect a servo mark in a normal servo sector.
  • It demodulates the servo data in a short servo sector before the normal sector.
  • The write operation is resumed from the data area immediately after the normal servo sector.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Detection of servo mark failure in a normal servo sector triggers a write operation stop.
  • Demodulation of servo data in a short servo sector allows for the resumption of the write operation.
  • Ensures accurate writing of data on the magnetic disk.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in magnetic disk devices to improve the accuracy of data writing processes.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of failed servo mark detection during a write operation on a magnetic disk.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in data writing on magnetic disks.
  • Prevents errors in data storage processes.

Commercial Applications

  • This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of magnetic disk devices to enhance data writing accuracy.
  • It can be beneficial for industries relying on precise data storage and retrieval systems.

Questions about the Technology

How does this technology improve data writing accuracy on magnetic disks?

This technology ensures accurate data writing by demodulating servo data in a short servo sector before the normal sector, allowing for the resumption of the write operation.

What are the potential applications of this technology beyond magnetic disk devices?

This technology's accuracy-enhancing features could potentially be applied in other data storage systems to improve data writing processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to an embodiment, upon a failure in detection of a servo mark from servo data recorded in a first normal servo sector in a write operation, a controller of a magnetic disk device stops a write operation. then, the controller demodulates the servo data including the servo mark, for the servo data recorded in a first short servo sector being a short servo sector immediately before the first normal servo sector, and resumes the write operation from a data area immediately after the first normal servo sector.
