MemoRight FTM-25 240GB SandForce Solid State Drive Review - Specifications, Pricing and Availability
MemoRight has entered the SandForce SSD fray with the FTM-25 Series. Chris gives us a look under the hood.Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Like many other SandForce manufacturers, MemoRight ran through the entire capacity range with the FTM-25 Series. We will be looking at the 240GB model in detail today, but several other capacity sizes are available and they range from 50GB and go all the way to 480GB.
MemoRight offers several SSD lines; the FTM-25 that we are looking at today uses multi-level cell flash technology and pairs it with the phenomenal SandForce SF-1200 controller. Even now with new SATA 6G SSDs hitting the market the SandForce SF-1200 offers some of the best performance vs. cost benefits available.
When it comes to performance the FTM-25 Series of products offers a claimed 280MB/s read speed and 270MB/s write speed. These are for the most part the limits of SATA 3G as implemented by most motherboard manufacturers. The FTM-25 Series also offers 30K 4K IOPS read performance and 10K write performance.
The only issue we've found is actually trying to find the MemoRight FTM-25 to verify pricing. After a few global searches on Google we came up empty handed. MemoRight is still trying to establish their global network of distributors and resellers, but we were surprised by the results since the company has such a good history of manufacturing high performance products.

Bankers Burying Money in the Garden: Street Whispers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- These are supposedly tough times for investment bankers. There is less money, fewer private jets in the fleet and you never know when the U.S. Attorney's office is listening in.
But one thing that hasn't changed is "gardening leave"--that time-honored tradition where investment bankers sit on their butts for three to six months after being spirited away from one Wall Street bank to another. The goal is to sideline dealmakers and prevent them from stealing business from their old shop.
But, alas, even that is getting too expensive.
On Evercore's (EVR - Get Report) earnings call Thursday CEO Ralph Schlosstein and Chairman Roger Altman explained that bankers are never profitable the first year they work because -- in addition to the three to six months gardening leave -- it takes several months for the banker to get his mojo back. It could be months before a new hire structures a deal, announces it and then closes it.
"By and large, the first year for almost everyone is a zero on the revenue side," Altman said. That poses a challenge for firms like Evercore, which are under more pressure than ever to cut costs. The obvious way to do that is by slashing compensation. But how to do that when you've got to pay every new hire for a year without getting any returns? One obvious way is to hire less. "The reality is that every hire that we make costs a few cents a share in the - on the income statement of the period in which they're hired," Schlosstein said.
Evercore has made just six senior hires this year, and Ken Jacobs, CEO of rival Lazard (LAZ - Get Report) sounds even more cautious. "We don't really need to add any additional head count to really take advantage of any upturn in the macroeconomic environment," Jacobs says. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

Description The present invention relates generally to coding and decoding data for transmission through a partial response channel, and more particularly but not by limitation to coding and decoding data for transmission through a data storage channel. Data communication channels generally include encoding of data before it passes through a communication medium, and decoding of data after it has passed through a communication medium. Data encoding and decoding is used, for example, in data storage devices for encoding data that is written on a storage medium and decoding data that is read from a storage medium. Encoding is applied in order to convert the data into a form that is compatible with the binary characteristic of the storage medium, and can include processes such as adding error correction codes, interleaving, turbo encoding, bandwidth limiting, amplification and many other known encoding processes. Decoding processes are generally inverse functions of the encoding processes. Encoding and decoding increases the reliability of the reproduced data. The increasing demand for high data rate communications systems and high-density data storage devices has lead to intensive focus on implementation issues of encoding and decoding that provides a combination of low bit error rate (BER), high speed, low power coding and decoding, and low cost. In designing encoders and decoders, there are complex design tradeoffs that keep changing as technologies advance. As the performance in the area of higher speed and lower power consumption improve in other parts of a data storage device, there is a need to advance the design of the encoding and decoding in the data communication channel such that the encoding/decoding performance does not limit the overall performance of new design data storage devices. Embodiments of the present invention provide solutions to these and other problems, and offer other advantages over the prior art. Disclosed are an apparatus and a method of encoding and decoding user data. The encoding comprises receiving a block of user data and providing a block of DC-free encoded data. The encoding comprises performing a reverse rate-1 mapping of the block of DC-free encoded data based on structured set partitioning to provides an intermediate data sequence. The encoding comprises generating redundant bits based on the intermediate data sequence using a multilevel encoder (MLC). The encoding comprises concatenating the redundant bits with the DC-free encoded data and communicating the result to a partial response channel. The decoding comprises detecting encoded data received from the binary medium and providing an estimated MLC encoded user data output. The decoding comprises decoding the MLC encoded data, and generating a MLC decoded data output. The decoding comprises DC-free decoding the MLC decoded data output to provide a decoded user data output. Other features and benefits that characterize embodiments of the present invention will be apparent upon reading the following detailed description and review of the associated drawings. Disclosed here is a method and apparatus for channel coding useful for recording channel and other partial response channel applications. The proposed channel coding method is actualized via structured set partition (SSP) in conjunction with multilevel coding (MLC) and offers performance gains over conventional coding schemes with comparable complexity at the bit-error rate (BER) level as well as the sector failure rate (SFR) level. The set partitioning and multilevel coding (MLC) jointly optimize modulation (signal mapping) and coding so that the code is optimized in Euclidean space rather than with traditional Hamming distances. Free Euclidean distances, rather than Hamming distances, define system performance, in particular at SNR regions that are of practical interest. For most set partition and MLC work on typical transmission channels, a multilevel/phase signal constellation is available. However, for magnetic recording channels, binary saturated recording is the only practical channel signaling method. In such binary saturated channels, realization of set partition and/or MLC is simulated by intentionally introduced inter-symbol interference (ISI). Channel outputs from ISI channels can be conveniently characterized by a trellis, which in turn facilitates a set partition and/or MLC implementation. The magnetic recording channel is approached as a partial response (PR) channel given by a polynomial f(D)=fo+f1D+f2D2+ . . . +fmDm with integer (or real) coefficients. An output word y=(y1, y2, . . . , yN) of the PR channel is defined as the linear convolution of the input coded (or uncoded) word x=(x1, x2, . . . , xN) of length N with x1=1 or −1, and the coefficients (f0, f1, . . . , fm) as:
where i=1, 2, . . . , N, for i<1, and xi is determined by the channel state. The relationship between the input and output words can be described by a trellis with 2m states sε{0,1}m, where si is related to xi by
Given the state
at time i=0, 1, . . . , N−1, the next state is defined as
The label of the edge between Si and Si+1 is the channel output symbol yi defined by Equation 1. The input and output relationship can be written in a more compact matrix form. Denote X−=(xi−m, . . . , xi−2, xi−1) and its binary version S−=(si−m, . . . , xi−2, si−1). The vector X− and S− are the states of the channel at time instant i. Given the trellis state S− and a block of binary input S=(si, si+1, . . . , si+L) of length L, the output can be written as
where X is the bipolar representation of vector S−⋄S, ⋄ is the concatenation operator, and F is an m+L by L matrix given by
The output corresponding to an input vector of length L and a channel state S− (of length m) is a vector of length L. In the channel output sequence Y in an L-dimensional Euclidean space S, each input sequence S in conjunction with the channel state S− correspond to a signal point in the L-dimensional space S. The mapping rule is defined by Equation 5. Now, in the signal constellation space S, set partitioning is designed by employing the rules described in Channel coding with multilevel/phase signals, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, vol. IT-28, pp. 55�67, 1982. One signal point in the space represents a sequence of channel output. Due to extensive channel memory, however, such a set partitioning process is more involved than memoryless channels with conventional multilevel/phase signaling. Realizing good distance properties between subsets is often realized by brute force computer searching. In particular, given the channel state S− and input S of length L, the squared Euclidean distance between signal point y=(yi, yi+1, . . . , yi+L−1) and y′=(y′i, y′i+1, . . . , y′i+L−1) is computed as
During the partitioning process, the algorithm needs to calculate the distance between every pair of signal points in the associated subsets. Thus, the brute force computation complexity grows exponentially with the number of partition levels and the channel memory length. A systematic way of structured set partitioning (SSP) is described below using multiple embedded linear subspaces and their cosets. Let EL be the set of all binary words of length L with components 0 and 1,
and T be the union of T (S−) over S−, i.e.,
Thus, T(S−) represents the set of signal points (in the L dimensional signal space S) originating from the channel state S−, which is a subset of T(S) denoting the signal set of all channel output with length L. Since the mapping from Em+L signal set T(S) is deterministic and one-to-one, set partition can be performed on the linear space Em+L. Formally, the partitioning is performed as follows: 1. First level partition: over the whole linear space Em+L, a subspace V of dimension k(1) is chosen, and L(1)=2k−k(1)−1 cosets W1, W2, . . . , WL(1) are constructed. In particular, the coset leaders of the cosets W1, W2, . . . , WL(1) are a1, . . . , aL(1), respectively. In other words,
where d(y,z) is the squared Euclidean distance between y and z as defined in Equation 7. To see that Ti is a partition of T, note that if d1 2>0, Ti∩Tj=∅ for all i≠j. Furthermore, it maintains that T=∪Ti. 2. Second level partition: for each coset Wi of the first level partition, a new subspace Vi of dimension k(2)<k(1) is chosen in Wi. Subsequently, L(2)=2k(1)−k(2)−1 cosets Wi,1, Wi,2, . . . , Wi,L(2) of Vi are constructed, which correspond to coset leaders ai,1, ai,2, . . . , ai,L(2), respectively. Vi is the trivial coset with coset leader ai,0=(0, 0, . . . , 0)εV. Similarly, by defining
Ti,j is a partition of Ti and T. The partition can be carried on further to more levels following similar operations described above. For example, the subspace Wi,j at the second level can be further partitioned into Wi,j,0, Wi,j,1, . . . , Wi,j,L(3), where L(3) is the number of subspaces that Wi,j contains and it holds that L(3)=2k(2)−k(3)−1 and k(3) is the dimension of the subspaces on the third partition level. Once the set partition tree is completed, mapping from the input bits to transmitted channel bits (or SSP encoding) can be realized by assigning the branch address labels of the partition tree to the input bits accordingly. As a specific example, let us assume a three level two-way partition, i.e., L=3, L(1)=L(2)=L(3)=1, constructed on an ISI channel of length m+1=3. Given a channel state s−=(si−2, si−1) and a block of input u=(ui, ui+1, ui+2) of length 3, the input sequence can be encoded such that ui represents the least significant bit which has a minimum squared Euclidean distance d1 2, while ui+2 represents the most significant bit which has a minimum squared Euclidean distance d3 2. This is made possible by walking along the partitioning tree and assigning the branch label to the input bits. Specifically, it can be done in the following way. Given the input(ui, ui+1, ui+2), first the coset Wu After the mapping, the (noise free) channel outputs corresponding to the block of input (ui, ui+1, ui+2) possess the following properties: 1. the minimum squared Euclidean distance in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least d1 2 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (ui, ui+1, ui+2) and (ui′,ui+1′, ui+2′), if ui≠ui′; 2. the minimum squared Euclidean distance in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least d2 2 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (ui, ui+1, ui+2) and (u′i, u′i+1, u′i+2), if ui=u′i, but ui+1≠u′i+1, 3. the minimum squared Euclidean distance in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least d3 2 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (ui, ui+1, ui+2) and (u′i, u′i+1, u′i+2), if ui=u′i, ui+1=u′i+1, but ui+2≠u′i+2. 4. furthermore, it holds that d1 2<d2 2<d3 2. For practical applications, L(i)=1 for i=1, 2, . . . . In other words, subspaces are bisected into 2 smaller subspaces at each partition level. This on one hand simplifies the partitioning process; on the other hand, it facilitates the application of binary component codes when set partitioning is combined with multilevel coding, as will be explained later. To partition the linear space Em+L, a simple parity check code can be used for successive partitioning. Each subspace Wi is partitioned by a parity check equation. The elements in Wi are classified into two subspaces depending on whether the element satisfies the particular parity check equation enforced at that partition level. The partition procedure is best illustrated via the following example. As the coset leader for W1 is given by a1=[0 0 0 0 1], the other coset on the first level partition is
Calculation verifies that the squared Euclidean distance between the signal points corresponding to W0 and W1 is at least 4. That is,
The next level of partition involves dividing W0 and W1 further into subsets, starting with W0. A parity check equation h2,0=[0 1 0 1 0] is chosen to bisect W0 into two subsets, depending on the parity check result is 0 or 1. Using the coset notion, vectors in the space W0,0 satisfy
in addition to Equation 15. For subset W0,1, it becomes
in addition to Equation 15. For ease of encoding/decoding, it is preferred to construct a set of parity check equations in a systematic format. To accomplish this, Gaussian elimination is adopted during the set partition construction if necessary. In this case, h1 and h2,0 are already in systematic form and no Gaussian elimination is needed. Similarly, W1 can be partitioned into two subsets W1,0 at 308 and W1,1 at 310, as illustrated in
The inter-subset squared Euclidean distance grows from d1 2=4 on the first level to d2 2=408 on the second level, providing a good distance spectrum for multilevel encoding, as explained in more detail below. It is a straightforward repetition of the above procedures to further partition the subsets W0,1, W1,0, and W1,1 into smaller subsets. The following description applies to partition of W0,0. The parity check equation and its equivalent form for partitioning W0,0 is depicted in the subspace W0,0 is partitioned into W0,0,0 and W0,0,1 with
where h3=[0 1 1 0 0] and a4=[0 0 1 0 0]. Hence, the equivalent parity check matrix becomes
The associated coset leader for W0,0,1 is a4=[0 0 1 0 0]. The partition of W0,1, W1,0 are the same as W0,0. However, partition of W1,1 is different. The corresponding parity check equation is instead
and the associated coset leader remains a4=[0 1 0 0]. and
it can be shown that with the complete 3-level partition 500, it holds that
Therefore, {d1 2=4, d2 2=328, d3 2=1064} is the hierarchy of minimal squared Euclidean distances for the 3-level set partition 500. Given a channel state s−=s−1, s−2 and a block of input u=(ui, ui+1, ui+2) of length 3, the input sequence can be encoded such that ui represents the least significant bit which has a minimum squared Euclidean distance d1 2 while ui+2 represents the most significant bit which has a minimum squared Euclidean distance d3 2. This is possible by assigning the branch label of the SSP at the first level 502, the second level 504 and third-level 506 in
Note that rows of A are coset leaders at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of partition. From and
The encoding of Equations 36, 37 can be simplified to
Correspondingly, the decoder can be implemented by the following logic
For the given example, the encoding and decoding for coded modulation is very simple. In general, when the target length becomes long (>3) and partition level increases, the encoding and decoding logic may become more complex. Under such cases, the endec can be realized via table look-up. Table 1 shows one possible structure of the encoding and decoding look-up table. Encoding can be executed as follows: 1. Find the current channel state S− from the encoder output as a result of last block of input; 2. Locate the entrance corresponding to the channel state S− in the ENDEC table. 3. Find the row in the ENDEC table whose �User Bits� column contains the current input data block; 4. The encoding output is the entrance under �Channel Bits�. The decoding operation can be performed in a similar way. The only difference is that the �input� is �Channel Bits� and the output becomes �User Bits�.
After encoding, the (noise free) channel outputs for a block of input (u0,u1,u2) possess the following properties: 1. the minimum squared Euclidean distance d1 2 in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least 4 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (u0, u1, u2) and (u′0, u′1, u′2), if u0, ≠u′0; 2. the minimum squared Euclidean distance d2 2 in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least 408 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (u0, u1, u2) and (u′0, u′1, u′2), if u0=u′0, but u1≠u′1; 3. the minimum squared Euclidean distance d3 2 in the 3-dimensional output signal space is at least 1064 for the signal outputs corresponding to input (u0, u1, u2) and (u′0, u′1, u′2), if u0,=u′0, u1=u′1, but u2≠u′2. Via proper set partitioning, user information bits can contain different levels of significance. For example, for 3-level SSP, a block of user bits (u0, u1, u2) have 3 different levels of error probability if there is no other outer coder imposed besides SSP. After SSP, the first bit u0 has the least significance and it is more prone to error than u1 and u2. The last bit u2 has the most significance and it is more immune to error than both u0 and u1. The gist of multilevel coding is to protect each bit ui differently via individual binary code Ci according to their significance. From the system level, one can consider the combined SSP and MLC process as a code C, which operates on block of information bits U0,U1 and U2. The code rate R of the code C is given by
where ro, r1 and r2 are the code rate of code C0, C1 and C2 respectively. In general, for an L-level SSP and MLC, the overall code rate is given by
Here, 2l(i), i=0, . . . , L−1 are the number of subspaces at the i-th level originating from a single subspace at the (i−1)-th level; ki, i=0, . . . , L−1 are the number of qi=2l(i)-ary information symbols of the code Ci; N is the total in a codeword. The minimum distance of code C observes the following lower bound. If the structured set partition has a minimum squared Euclidean distance spectrum {d0 2<d1 2< . . . <dL−1 2}, then the minimum squared Euclidean distance d2(C) of the L-level concatenated code C satisfies the lower bound
where Di is the minimum Hamming distance of the i-th level code Ci, i=0, 1, . . . , L−1. The selection of component codes for multilevel encoding after SSP is important. One important aspect is the assignment of code rates to the individual coding levels. Based on various information-theoretical parameters, such as capacity and coding exponent, of each equivalent channel at individual partition level, various design rules are established. For partial response channels, the most relevant design rule is the balanced distances rule. The rule states that the component codes can be chosen such that
where di 2 is the squared Euclidean distance between cosets as defined before and Di is the Hamming distance of the component code at the i-th partition level. To limit the decoding and implementation complexity, this example is limited to simple parity check codes. Other more sophisticated codes, however, can also be used. Magnetic recording channels experience electronics noise and medium noise, among many other system disturbances. When channel normalized density is low, an appropriately chosen generalized PR (GPR) target can achieve near optimal performance with minimum noise enhancement due to channel equalization. GPR system can be alternatively implemented as noise predictive maximum likelihood (NPML). Comparing to direct GPR implementation, NPML facilitates circuit implementation of equalization and Viterbi detection (or its sub-optimal variants like post-processing). To account for medium noise, which is known to be data dependent, NPML detection can be extended to be data dependent, giving rise to the so-called pattern-dependent noise predictive (PDNP) detection. PDNP detectors utilize data dependent noise whitening filters to account for the data-dependence of medium noise during Viterbi detection. While it demands more complexity than NPML detectors, PDNP detectors offer significant performance improvement over NPML when medium noise becomes dominant. For SSP, noise predictive detection provides another advantage. In particular, the realizable distance spectrum of coded modulation systems is closely related to specific channel response, i.e., nominal targets. By employing PDNP or NPML detection, one gains flexibility in choosing front-end equalization target that has good distance spectrum for structured set partition. However, it should be pointed out that the equalization target is not the effective target for Viterbi detection if noise prediction is involved. Indeed, it is not difficult to show that the effective targets translate into the convolution of the equalization target with the noise whitening filter(s). For PDNP detectors, effective targets become data dependent. To design the optimal SSP for data dependent targets, however, turns out to be computationally prohibitive and it provides little insight into the problem. Here, an ad-hoc method is used, where various �extended� targets are tested with SSP and subsequently BER and SFR results are obtained and compared in order to find a �good� SSP. An approach to find a good SSP for PDNP detectors is described below: 1. At a desired operating point, find the noise whitening filters for a given front-end equalization target. 2. Convolve the equalization target and noise whitening filters and obtain effective detection target(s). 3. Choose an �experimental target� that is close to the effective detection targets for SSP design. 4. Find a good SSP for the experimental target via an iterative process, where for a predefined distance spectrum an exhaustive search is performed by computer for SSP. The exhaustive search is possible due to the fact that for practical applications, dimensions are limited to a manageable range, e.g., 6. If for a predefined distance spectrum an SSP can be found, the distance spectrum is further increased until there is no SSP can be found. The last available partitioning and the associated spectrum are then employed for SSP encoding. Recording channels suffer signal-to-noise ratio degradation approximately proportional to R2, in contrast to R for other communication channels. Here, R is the overall code-rate. Hence, high-rate codes are favored in recording channel applications. If SSP/MLC are employed, there exist various choices for component codes at each individual partition level. The detailed discussion here is limited to simple parity check codes as component codes. In particular, single parity check codes are employed for the bits having the smallest squared Euclidean distances as a result of SSP. This group of bits are most prone to error due to the shortest distance between the corresponding cosets. Bits that correspond to lower partition levels are left uncoded. The reasons to adopt such a coding structure can be summarized as in the following: 1. Single parity codes are suitable for maximum-likelihood (ML) sequence detection without incurring significant complexity increase for inter-symbol interference channels. For block parity codes, each additional parity check equation implies doubling the trellis size for ML detection. Hence, single parity block codes are used for a practical implementation. 2. Single parity codes can have very high code rate. For code-rate sensitive recording channels, high code-rate is often preferred. In addition, the error statistics of single parity check codes are more compatible to outer Reed-Solomon codes from a sector-failure-rate perspective. To apply SSP/MLC to recording channels, there are many other issues that need to be properly taken care of. One important issue is the compatibility of SSP mapping with other channel codes such as run-length limited (RLL) codes, DC-free (DCF) codes and so forth. These constrained codes are necessary for read channel system to work properly. At a first glance, it seems that SSP conflicts with other channel codes as SSP requires bits mapping which alters the property of the input sequence. However, as explained below, SSP can be made to co-exist with other channel codes via a technique dubbed �reverse coding�. Secondly, in order to achieve and exploit good distance spectrum for SSP, typically up to 4 levels of set partition is desired for ISI channels. When SSP combined with channel memory, the trellis size often increases considerably, making SSP less attractive for practical application. As shown below, however, under most cases SSP can take advantage of the existing expanded trellis owing to noise prediction without demanding further trellis augmentation. The encoder 800 comprises a rate-1 mapper 806 (also called SSP decoder 806) that receives the block of DC-free encoded output 803. The rate-1 mapper 806 performs a reverse mapping based on structured set partitioning, and provides an intermediate data sequence 808. The encoder 800 comprises a multilevel encoder 810 that receives the intermediate data sequence 808 and that generates redundant bits 812 based on the intermediate data sequence 808. The encoder 800 comprises a multiplexer 816 that concatenates the redundant bits 812 with the block of DC-free encoded data output 803. The multiplexer 816 provides an encoder output 817 that is encoded for transmission through a binary medium 818. The DC-free encoder 804 preferably comprises a run-length-limited encoder. The rate-1 mapper 806 arranges the block of DC-free encoded data output into a first matrix form by rows and columns, and generates the intermediate data sequence arranged as a second matrix. The rate-1 mapper 806 uses a structured set partition of signals of an inter-symbol interference channel, and generates the second matrix with rows and columns that have differentiated reliabilities after transmission through in a noisy inter-symbol interference channel. The structured set partitioning preferably comprises multiple level partitioning of a linear space, and bisection of spaces into two subspaces at each partitioning level, where each subspace is a coset of the other subspace at the same partitioning level. The multilevel encoder generates redundant bits conforming to the differentiated reliabilities of the rows and columns of the intermediate data sequence, producing an optimized minimum Euclidean distance between output sequences of an inter-symbol interference channel. The concatenator 816 concatenates the redundant bits from multiple blocks of the DC-free encoded data outputs into a redundant bits sequence, and appends the redundant bits sequence to the multiple blocks of DC-free encoded data outputs and subsequently transmits output 817 to the medium 818. SSP mapping essentially is a rate-1 encoder that maps the input bits into channel bits such that the input bits possess ordered error probability. The ordered (monotonically increasing intra-block) reliability is then balanced via levelled component codes. Viewed from a different angle, as long as the component codes operate on the bits that have ordered reliability, SSP with MLC is achieved. Such an interpretation provides a SSP/MLC encoding scheme as illustrated in During encoding, the user bits are first encoded by other constrained-code encoder such as RLL, DCF encoders 804. The encoded bits are then �decoded� by a SSP decoder 806. Since the RLL/DCF encoded bit sequence are directly transmitted to the channel, the SSP decoded bits (�intermediate bits�) at 808 possess ordered reliability. In other words, these intermediate bits can be considered as the user bits {ui} as before, which are SSP encoded and subsequently transmitted to the channel. Hence, the MLC component codes provided by MLC encoder 810 can operate on the intermediate bit-sequence 808 to balance the error probability on individual partition levels. The redundancy bits (parity bits) 812 generated by the MLC encoder 810 are appended to the encoded bit sequence 814 by concatenater 816 for transmission to the medium 818. Via such an encoding scheme, minimum disturbance is resulted from the SSP/MLC �encoding� and the bit sequence can still satisfy the RLL/DCF constraint, which may be slightly relaxed due to the insertion of parity bits. In fact, via the encoder structure in The decoder 900 comprises a channel detector 902 that provides an encoded user data output 904. The decoder 900 comprises a puncturer 906 that receives the encoded user data output 904. The puncturer removes parity bits, and provides a punctured data output 908. The decoder 900 comprises a DC-free decoder 910 that receives the punctured data output 908. The DC-free decoder 910 removes DC-free encoding, and providing a decoded user data output. The decoder 900 comprises an error-correction-code decoder 912 that receives the decoded user data output, removes errors, and provides an error-corrected user data output. Consider an ISI channel of length m+1 staged with an SSP of level L. The corresponding signal space has a dimension m+L, where the set partition is operated. Consequently, the SSP encoding and decoding need to collect m+L user or channel bits at one time for appropriate operation. Such a requirement poses significant challenges for signal detection and ML decoding. Due to the presence of ISI as well as SSP memory, the transitions associated with the decoding trellis must collect m+L channel bits for decision-feedback free maximum-likelihood detection. As a result, the number of states for the decoding trellis is at least 2m+L−1. In addition to ISI and SSP, MLC encoding calls for additional trellis augmentation. In particular, with single parity check coding, the size of decoding trellis is twice that of the original size, i.e., with 2m+L number of states. Under typical operating conditions, this amounts to 128 states for a the decoding trellis, making SSP/MLC less attractive for practical high-speed implementations. An empirical observation of SSP encoding/decoding which can be taken advantage of during implementation is described below. Single parity check codes as component codes for MLC are preferred, although other more sophisticated codes can be used. In particular, the single parity check is operated on the bits corresponding to the address bits at the first partition level, since these bits are most susceptible to error. In most practical applications, it can be verified via computer that the SSP decoding results of the bits at the first partition level are independent of the m-th bit in the memory. This relationship is explained in Presented below is an SSP/MLC architecture for perpendicular recording read channels. In order for the application of SSP/MLC, the following constraints are accomplished from the complexity and system performance perspective: 1. ML decoding trellis size falls into a reasonable range, e.g., 32 states or 64 states; 2. SSP/MLC is compatible with RLL and DCF encoding; 3. Performance gain can be obtained at sector failure rate (SFR) level. Investigation of SSP/MLC for recording channels suggests that an L=4 level SSP is usually desired for a balanced trade-off between performance and complexity. With a front-end equalization target of length m=3, such a configuration suggests a trellis size of 2m+L−1=64 states, excluding any other augmentation effect resulted from MLC. However, by applying the technique presented below, it is possible to reduce the number of states to 32 states when the component codes operate only on the bits at the first partition level. Consequently, it becomes possible to limit the total number of states for the detection trellis to 64 states by employing a single parity check code as component codes. To account for the RLL/DCF constraint, the reverse coding technique described herein. With reverse coding, it is possible to concatenate SSP/MLC with RLL/DCF encoder in a straightforward manner, although at some cases the RLL/DCF constraint may be slightly altered due to the insertion of parity bits. With a more sophisticated design, it is possible to integrate SSP/MLC encoding with RLL/DCF. In the presentation below, the discussion is limited to concatenating SSP/MLC with an existing RLL/DCF encoder. The RLL/DCF encoder is considered as a �blackbox� and SSP/MLC encoding is achieved in a concatenated manner regardless of how the RLL/DCF encoding is achieved. This facilitates the channel design process as one can separate the design of RLL/DCF from SSP/MLC, and consequently many existing RLL/DCF encoders can be utilized. For the simulation results presented below, a blackbox RLL/DCF encoder is used which has a code rate of 60/62. In order to preserve the RLL/DCF codeword boundary, the single SSP parity is computed on the 15 bits at the first partition level corresponding to the SSP decoded first 60 bits for each RLL/DCF codeword, and the left 2 bits enters directly into the parity check equation. The effective target for SSP design is fixed at [1 10 13 3] for various operating points. Although it is possible to optimize the effective target for each operating point for improved performance, at the SFR level it is observed that such optimization provides limited further performance improvement. To summarize, a channel coding architecture described above utilizes structured set partition (SSP) and multilevel coding (MLC), which is also called coded modulation. Structured set partition exploits the inherent structure of PR channel outputs and provides monotonically increasing Euclidean distance for the address bits labelling branches of the set partitioning tree. With the help of multilevel coding, the bits having smaller Euclidean distances are coded with larger Hamming distance component codes, hence component codes are potentially more efficiently employed. Consequently, the system minimum Euclidean distance and thus the performance can be improved. For magnetic recording channels, severe ISI and dominant medium noise consist the main system impairment source. Pattern-dependent noise predictive (PDNP) detection is an effective detection method for high-density recording channels. Due to noise prediction, the effective targets become different from the equalization target and they are data dependent. In turn, set partitioning for PDNP detection becomes more involved. Effective targets are obtained that are convolutional results of the equalization target and noise whitening filters. Subsequently, the SSP is designed according to an approximated and truncated version of the effective targets. Although the design rule with such an approach seems rather ad hoc, it provides effective improvement on the system performance under many operating conditions. To realize maximum-likelihood (ML) detection, complexity considerations limit the component codes selection for MLC in conjunction with SSP. Parity codes are shown, although other more sophisticated codes can also be utilized. In particular, the cases are presented where single parity check equations are imposed only on the bits corresponding to labels at the first level of the set partitioning tree. Such a coding configuration confines the ML detection complexity while providing sound compatibility to outer RS code for recording channels. With SSP and single parity encoding, it is possible to obtain system performance gains over conventional single parity encoding where no SSP is involved at the sector failure level (SFR) for perpendicular recording channels. A major concern associated with coded modulation is the compatibility of SSP with other channel constrained encoding, such as run-length limited (RLL) and DC-free (DCF) encoding. A reverse coding technique is described to provide SSP/MLC encoding without violating other imposed constraints. The reverse coding technique attains the compatibility by creating dummy bits, which are the results of SSP decoding given an constrained input data sequence. The component codes operate on these dummy bits and the generated parities are transmitted along with the given input data sequence, hence producing minimum disturbances on the existing constraint. Indeed, it is even possible to integrate coded modulation encoding with RLL and DCF encoding. Such an integrated encoder can generate output bits satisfying a given desired constraint. It is possible to shrink the ML detection trellis size without incurring any system performance loss by observing the independence between the SSP encoded bits and some memory bits. In particular, under most cases of interest, the bits corresponding to the labelling bits on the first level of the set partition tree are independent of the �oldest� bit in the ISI memory. As a consequence, the trellis size can be reduced by half without incurring decision feedback for ML detection. Numerical simulations demonstrate that system performance gains can be obtained via MLC in conjunction with SSP, with minimum modifications to existing channel architectures. This is particularly true for perpendicular recording channels operating at high linear density experiencing dominated medium noise disturbances. Although the discussion is limited to simple parity check codes as component codes for coded modulation encoding, much more flexibility and potentially achievable gains can be expected by utilizing more powerful component codes in conjunction with SSP, including turbo codes, TPC, LDPC codes and the like and these codes can be treated as described herein.

Introducing leggings. Step into a world of stunning designs.
These tall water lilies were growing in a perfect location for photography: a raised decorative pond at Mission San Juan Capistrano (California, USA). There was one little problem, however: the angelic white flowers were pointed straight up at the sun, almost directly overhead. This can be a recipe for blown-out highlights, which I managed to avoid only by watching my camera's histogram. Even so, the white flowers seemed too starkly bright against the dark background. I compressed the tonal range a little by using some subtle textures overall and applying the Orton effect primarily to the flowers to achieve a glow. Best viewed LARGE!

No Room for Vets in the Inn
Homeless American veterans shiver in the bitter cold while illegal immigrants receive subsidized four-year degrees.
At midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold, Christ was born in a stable after his parents were turned away by every innkeeper. Joseph and Mary did not respond with entitlement: "If you don't shelter us, then you're racist." Rather, they used their ingenuity to find an alternative birthplace for their son among friends—farm animals, shepherds, kings, and angels—beneath the light of an extraordinary star. Continue reading

Obama Flips Blacks on Backs
How does the first black president reward blacks for voting for their hero?
With an executive order: "Go to the back of the employment line. Get behind illegal immigrants, including carriers of tuberculosis and criminals at large. Blessed are the politically useful and illegal immigrants are more useful than African Americans." Continue reading

Soldiers Betraying Soldiers
Secret stories of soldiers stabbing their fellow soldiers in the back read like crime thrillers. Our bravest soldiers and veterans are increasingly the victims of abuse by other soldiers with more political clout.
President Obama boasts of his ability to "evolve" on gay marriage. He has also evolved on other issues, such as his level of respect for the military. That is, if regression is a form of evolution. Continue reading

Laugh On 9/11 With Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers crushed 9/11 terrorists by laughing. So should you.
If the doyenne of dark comedy were still alive, the Republican Party would win the 2016 presidential election by nominating Joan Rivers. First, because the GOP would be running an octogenarian grandmother against a slightly younger grandmother (Hillary Clinton) and Democrats could not accuse Republicans of attacking Clinton's age, sex or grandmotherhood. Second, because Rivers had a self-depreciating sense of humor whereas Hillary has a mean streak (think Clinton's dismissal of cookie-baking housewives or her "What difference does is make?!" screech). Third, Rivers would have been more adept at handling the fusillade of terrorism threatening America.
Sadly, Rivers passed away last week at the feisty and energetic age of 81. However, as we approach the anniversary of the 9/11/01 and 9/11/12 (Benghazi) attacks, let's take a cue from Rivers' healthy but unconventional approach to tragedy. Continue reading

War is Hell
Raechel Richards walked into her Jacksonville, FL home on August 13 to find the love of her life, retired Marine sniper, Sgt. Robert Richards, lying dead on their floor. He was only 28 years old.
Rob Richards was too young to die. Strong, smart and kind—he had enormous talent and potential. He gave everything he had during his repeat deployments to Afghanistan during which he suffered severe IED-inflicted wounds and incurred TBI. Tragically, the cause of his death appears to be an adverse reaction to the drugs treating his pain and PTSD. Continue reading

Let Women Carry Concealed Firearms on Campus
Women should be allowed to carry concealed firearms on college campuses. Instead, President Obama favors Gun Free Zones, which endanger women's health.
One in five female college students are sexually assaulted or raped according to a new report issued last week by the White House Council on Women and Girls. Declaring that sexual assault "affects every one of us," Obama picked up his pen and signed a piece of paper (a "memorandum") calling for the creation of a campus rape response task force.

Eat Venison: A Deer Meat Diet
It's January. If you resolved to lose weight, forget the cotton ball diet. To become a lean, mean muscle machine: eat venison.

Senate Scores Big Victory for 2nd Amendment
Tired of depressing news? Smile, because here is some very positive news: 50 U.S. Senators—both Democrats and Republicans—have pledged to stop Obama's latest attack on the Second Amendment.
Last week, all 50 senators wrote a letter to Obama pledging not to ratify the United Nations' Arms Trade Treaty. In order for this treaty to be ratified, it would need 60 "yay" votes in the Senate. This means, gun owners will not need to forfeit their God-given right to self-defense and President Obama is on notice that his latest attack on the Second Amendment is dead on arrival in the Senate. Continue reading

How high IS the moon?
I was really excited when I won this book on Firstreads because it looked absolutely adorable.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Living in a small town in 1955, 10-yr-old Teaspoon sometimes seems larger than life. She fights, fibs, talks too much, and has a passion for singing. But Teaspoon wants to change in order to be "respectable" for Teddy, the boyfriend that her mom abandoned her with 5 years ago. So Teaspoon joins the Sunshine Sisters, a mentoring program, and her Big Sister is none other than Brenda Bloom, the daughter to the richest and most respectable family in town.
I greatly enjoyed this books cast. All the characters are well-drawn with big personalities, the biggest belonging to the narrator. Teaspoon is delightfully naive and very funny, even when she doesn't intend to be. However her voice did waver on the thin line bewteen charming and irritating, as all ten year olds sometimes do. The plot was good, if somewhat predictable.
I did enjoy this book, and I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. I feel it would make a really good movie one day. I'll be smiling about Teaspoon's summer for a while, but if I never hear the words "affliction" or "respectable" agian, it will be too soon. -
