Abstract: In recording systems using partial-response maximum-likelihood detection (PRML) techniques, data sequences are preceded by a preamble consisting of all ones. Coding schemes are disclosed which allow to keep the number of consecutive ones occuring in the coded data sequences at a minimum, while simultaneously restricting the number of consecutive zeros in full and partial data sequences to a low value which is important for improving receiver operation. The disclosed coding schemes and apparatus enable a faster and more reliable discrimination between timing preambles and data sequences, thus allowing to use shorter timing preambles which results in faster receiver start-up and in a reduction of storage overhead for the preambles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for maximum-likelihood data detection in a partial-response (PR) data channel including a head and disk assembly providing an analog signal coupled to an analog to digital converter (ADC) providing digital samples. A plurality of digital samples are received from the ADC. The received digital samples are applied to a selected first filter 402 and a selected second filter 404. The first filtered digital samples are applied to a first data detector 406, and the second filtered digital samples are applied to a second data detector 408. A predetermined parameter is identified 410, and at least one of the first and second data detectors is selected responsive to the identified predetermined parameter. The detectors may comprise partial response, adaptive, full-state or reduced-state Viterbi detectors (e.g. PR4 or EPR4 Viterbi detectors).

Abstract: The method for transmitting a message involves preparing addressing information for submission of the message from the mail server assigned to the first user over the network to mail servers assigned to the destination users. The addressing information and message are encapsulated in an MQ message. A queue list is created with the MQ addresses of those queue managers through which the mail servers can be reached. The list is used to determine the set of next-hop queue managers and generating associated queue sublists. - The MQ message is routed to each of the next hop queue managers together with a queue list being equal to the queue sublist associated with the respective next-hop queue managers now become acting queue managers. If the queue manager is found to be a queue manager in the queue list it gets the names of local queues from the queue list and delivers the messages to them. The process is repeated until the message has been put in all queues of the list. The MQ messages are retrieved with addressing information from the queues of the queue list. The addressing information is used to determine the set of destination users assigned to the mail server, each of which delivers the message to the destination user if the assigned destination user is local to the mail server. The process is repeated for the subset of destination users that is not local until the message has been delivered to all destination users.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a digital filter function included in a data path within gain and timing control loops of a PRML magnetic recording channel. The digital filter function is removed from the data path during an acquisition mode and the digital filter function is restored to the data path during a tracking mode. A predetermined gain and a quantized delay at a synchronization frequency are provided when switching from acquisition mode to tracking mode. A unity gain and a delay of an integer number of sample periods are provided at a synchronization frequency when switching from acquisition mode to tracking mode.

Abstract: A maximum-likelihood sequence decoder is used with a partial-response signaling system for processing sequences of sampled values from a communication channel or recording device. The partial-response signals can be duobinary, dicode, or partial-response class-IV. The maximum-likelihood decoding for each sequence is based upon a two-state trellis. lnstead of two survivor metrics for the two states, only a difference metric is generated which is simpler but sufficient for the decoding process. The decoder comprises survivor metric determining circuitry (81...99) which, from each input sample (y n ) and a previous difference metric (DJ n - 3 ) determines a new difference metric (DJ n-1 ), two additional binary values (b + , b-) for the two survivor sequences, as well as a binary output value (b) for making a selection among the two survivor sequences.

Abstract: In a receiver for data having been sent or recorded as partial-response (PR) signals, there is a system for generating a timing gradient value for initially acquiring the sampling phase when a signal resulting from the transmission of a known preamble is received. A common input (55) receives signal samples Yn of a transmitted or recorded PR signal. A delay circuit (67) has a delay stage, for accepting the present received signal sample Yn and provides at least one previous received signal sample Yn-i. A second delay circuit (61) has at least two delay stages, for accepting a present reconstructed data sample Xn and provides at least a first previous reconstructed data sample Xn-j. A reconstruction circuit (43) is connected to the common input and to the second delay circuit for generating the present reconstructed data sample Xn in response to the present received signal sample Yn and the first previous reconstructed data sample Xn-j. A timing gradient generation circuit (41) is connected to the common input and to the delay circuits for generating the timing gradient value.
