    Abstract: In a one-shot state transition encoder, L-bits of user data are received and encoded into a codeword of N-bits, wherein N>L. The encoding of the user data involves repeatedly performing: a) encoding a portion of user bits from the user data to a portion of encoded bits of the codeword based on a set of state transition probabilities, thereby reducing a size of a remaining buffer of the codeword and reducing a number of unencoded bits of the user data; and b) based on the number of unencoded bits of the user data being greater than or equal to the remaining buffer size of the codeword, terminating further encoding and storing the unencoded bits of the user data into the remaining buffer of the codeword.

    Abstract: An apparatus may include a circuit configured to process at least one input signal using a set of channel parameters. The circuit may adapt, using a regularized adaptation algorithm, a first set of channel parameters for use by the circuit as the set of channel parameters in processing the at least one input signal, the regularized adaptation algorithm penalizing deviations by the first set of channel parameters from a corresponding predetermined second set of channel parameters. The circuit may then perform the processing of the at least one input signal using the first set of channel parameters as the set of channel parameters.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sampling signals in multi-reader magnetic recording. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a plurality of read heads configured to simultaneously read from a single track of a storage medium, a plurality of analog to digital converters (ADCs) configured to receive signal patterns from corresponding read heads, and a circuit configured to control the plurality of ADCs to sample the signal patterns according to a single clock signal generator. The output of the ADCs may be individually delayed based on a down-track offset of the read heads in order to align the samples, so that samples corresponding to the same portion of the recorded signal can be combined for bit pattern detection.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an improved utilization of parity within a data storage device, and manufacturing methods thereof. In some embodiments, a data storage device can implement an improved codeword redundancy process that can be utilized for data storage locations which were not previously scanned for defects. In some embodiments, a data storage device can implement an improved codeword redundancy process to store write data to a data storage location without having to perform a read operation prior to storing the write data to the storage location. The improved codeword redundancy process can include various methods of storing or updating an outer code codeword for the data to be stored.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing segmentation and labeling of signals generated by single molecule sequencing. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving a training signal generated by molecular detection, segmenting the training signal into a set of events, determining signal characteristics for the set of events, generating a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on the set of events and the signal characteristics. The HMM may also be applied to a second signal and may responsively segment the second signal into a second set of events and label the second set of events based on the signal characteristics. A labeled sequence signal output may be provided that includes the second set of events and corresponding labels generated by the HMM.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for phase locking of a clock. In some embodiments, a phase locked clock (PLC) module can phase-lock a write clock to a media written with multiple servo zones of different frequencies. In some implementations, this can be utilized to perform a self-servo write (SSW) of a disc surface within a hard disc drive (HDD). A PLC module can perform a method of writing with a single frequency phase coherently while a read element passes over servo zones with different frequencies. While the PLC module can perform such methods for a SSW process, the methods can also be utilized for other applications that can benefit from writing with a single frequency phase coherently based on servo zones with different frequencies.
