US 7428116 B2Abstract
A dibit response estimation generator receives a DSS sequence and a DSS readback sequence, which is a function of a channel processing of the DSS sequence by a read channel. The generator generates a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence. The generator further generates an error signal as a function of a comparison of the DSS readback sequence and a filtering of the DSS sequence based on the cyclic dibit response vector. An unacceptable error signal indicates a need to adjust the cyclic dibit response vector to yield an acceptable comparison of the DSS readback sequence and the filtering of the DSS sequence based on the cyclic dibit response vector.

The system of claim 33, wherein the generating by the cyclic dibit response estimation unit of the cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the data set separator sequence and the data set separator readback sequence by the cyclic dibit response generator further includes: generating odd indices of the cyclic dibit response complex vector as a function of a diagonal matrix based on the data set separator reference complex vector and the data set separator readback complex vector; generating even indices of the cyclic dibit response complex vector as a function of an interpolation of the odd indices of the cyclic dibit response complex vector; and generating the cyclic dibit response vector as a function of an inverse discrete Fourier transformation of the cyclic dibit response complex vector.
The present invention generally relates to channel identification in read channels of magnetic tape drive systems. The present invention specifically relates to an implementation of a cyclic dibit response estimation technique in a magnetic recording channel using embedded data set separator sequences.
FIG. 1 illustrates a known spectrum of a DSS sequence, which consists in NRZI form of a repeated 24 bipolar-symbol pattern as follows:
p 24={+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1−1}.
This data set separator sequence can thus be regarded as a periodic square wave s(t) with a period 24T, where T denotes the symbol duration. A Fourier transform of this square wave is given by the following equation (1):
S ( f ) = ∑ n S n δ ( f - n 24 T ) , ( 1 ) with
Hence, S(f) represents a line spectrum that is nonzero at odd frequencies and decreases in magnitude as 1/f.
The data set separator sequence illustrated in FIG. 1 has been used to identify the cyclic dibit response of the magnetic recording channel. The identified dibit response not only allows one to compute an equalizer (typically a zero-forcing equalizer or a minimum mean-square error equalizer) for the magnetic recording channel, but also enables the use of read channels with noise-predictive maximum likelihood (NPML) detection. NPML detection is needed in high-performance/high-capacity tape systems, where it provides a better match of the target characteristic to the physical channel characteristic as compared with known characteristics such as partial-response class 4 (PR4), extended PR4 (EPR4), etc. The efficient identification of the channel dibit response based on the DSS sequence is addressed here.
One form of the present invention is signal bearing medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a processor to perform operations for a cyclic dibit response estimation in a read channel of a media system. The operations comprise a reception of an electrical communication of a DSS sequence and a DSS readback sequence, which is a function of a channel processing of the DSS sequence by the read channel. The operations further comprise a generation of a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence.
A second form of the present invention is a media system comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions operable with the processor for a cyclic dibit response estimation in a read channel of a media system. The instructions are executed for receiving an electrical communication of a DSS sequence and a DSS readback sequence, which is a function of a channel processing of the DSS sequence by the read channel. The instructions are further executed for generating a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence.
A third form of the present invention is method for a cyclic dibit response estimation in a read channel of a media system. The method comprises a reception of an electrical communication of a DSS sequence and a DSS readback sequence, which is a function of a channel processing of the DSS sequence by the read channel. The method further comprises a generation of a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence.
A fourth form of the present invention is a media system comprising a read channel and a dibit response estimation generator. The read channel generates a DSS readback sequence as a function of a channel processing of a DSS sequence. The cyclic dibit response estimation generator generates a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence.
A fifth form of the present invention is a media system comprising a cyclic dibit response generation unit, and a performance measuring unit. The cyclic dibit response generation unit generates a cyclic dibit response vector as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence, which is a function of a channel processing of the DSS sequence. The performance measurement unit generates an error signal as a function of a comparison of the DSS sequence and a filtering of the DSS readback sequence based on the cyclic dibit response vector.

FIG. 9 illustrates one embodiment of a tape drive system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a cyclic dibit response estimation generator 20 of the present invention. Generator 20 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of a DSS sequence (�DSS�) and a DSS readback sequence (�DSS RB�), which is generated by a conventional channel processing of the DSS sequence by a read channel 11 (e.g., a magnetic recording channel). Generator 20 is further structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to generate a cyclic dibit response vector g as a function of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence. In one exemplary embodiment, generator 20 executes a N-point sampling of the DSS sequence, executes a N-point sampling of the DSS readback sequence as generated by a conventional channel processing of the DSS sequence by a read channel 11 having an unknown channel response, and executes a computation of N-point samples of cyclic dibit response vector g as a function of the N-point sampling of the DSS sequence and the N-point sampling of the DSS readback sequence.
Generator 20 is also structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to generate an error signal e as a function of a comparison of the DSS readback sequence and a filtering of the DSS reference sequence based on cyclic dibit response vector g. In one exemplary embodiment, generator 20, generates error signal e as a differential between an N-point sampling of the DSS readback sequence and a filtering of an N-point sampling of the DSS sequence based on the N-point samples of cyclic dibit response vector g.
In operation, the unknown channel response of read channel 11 is normally not ideal whereby cyclic dibit response vector g is used to compute an equalizer (not shown) in view of facilitating an acceptable response from read channel 11. Accordingly, generator 20 or an external source (not shown) adjusts the generation of cyclic dibit response vector g by generator 20 as needed to achieve an acceptable differential indication by error signal e for purposes of computing an equalizer with a view of facilitating an acceptable channel response of read channel 11.
In practice, the present invention does not impose any limitations or any restrictions as to the structural configuration of generator 20. Thus, the following description of an exemplary embodiment 21 of generator 20 does not limit the scope of the structural configuration of generator 20.
FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary embodiment 21 of generator 20 (FIG. 2) employing a cyclic dibit response estimation unit 30 and a performance measurement unit 70. Unit 30 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of the DSS sequence and the DSS readback sequence. Unit 30 is further structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to generate a DSS reference vector d as a function of a sampling of the DSS sequence, to generate a DSS readback vector y as a function of a sampling of the DSS readback sequence, and to generate cyclic dibit response vector g as a function of DSS readback vector y and DSS reference vector x.
In one exemplary embodiment, unit 30 generates DSS reference vector d to include N-point samples of the DSS sequence, generates DSS readback vector y to include N-point samples of the DSS readback sequence as generated by a conventional processing of the DSS sequence by read channel 11 (FIG. 2) having an unknown channel response, and generates cyclic dibit response vector g to include N-dibit response samples computed based on DSS readback vector y and DSS reference vector x.
Unit 70 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to generate error signal e as a function of a comparison of a filtered DSS reference vector d′ and DSS readback vector y. In one exemplary embodiment, unit 70 generates error signal e as a differential between DSS readback vector y including an N-point filtered samples of the DSS readback sequence, and filtered DSS reference vector d′ including a filtering of N-point samples of the DSS sequence based on cyclic dibit response vector g including N-dibit response samples.
In practice, the present invention does not impose any limitations or any restrictions as to the structural configuration of units 30 and 70. Thus, the following description of an exemplary embodiments 31 and 71 of respective units 30 and 70 does not limit the scope of the structural configuration of units 30 and 70.
FIG. 4 illustrates exemplary embodiment 31 of unit 30 (FIG. 3) employing a DSS readback vector generation module 40, a DSS reference vector generation module 50, and a cyclic dibit response estimation module 60.
Module 40 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of the DSS readback sequence and to generate DSS readback vector y and a DSS readback complex vector Y as a function of a sampling of the DSS readback sequence. In one exemplary embodiment, module 40 generates DSS readback vector y to include an averaged N-point samples of the DSS readback sequence, and generates DSS readback complex vector Y to include a discrete Fourier transformation of DSS readback vector y.
Module 50 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of the DSS sequence, and to generate a DSS reference vector d and a DSS reference complex vector D as a function of a sampling of the DSS sequence. In one exemplary embodiment, module 50 generates DSS reference vector d to include N-point samples of the DSS sequence, and generates DSS reference complex vector D to include a discrete Fourier transformation of DSS reference vector d.
Module 60 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of DSS readback complex vector Y and DSS reference complex vector D, and to generate cyclic dibit response vector g as a function of DSS readback complex vector Y and DSS reference complex vector D. In one exemplary embodiment, module 60 generates odd indices of a cyclic dibit response complex vector G as a function of a diagonal matrix based on DSS reference complex vector D and DSS readback complex vector Y, generates even indices of a cyclic dibit response complex vector G as a function of an interpolation of the odd indices of cyclic dibit response complex vector G and generates cyclic dibit response vector g as a function of an inverse Fourier transformation of the computed odd indices and interpolated even indices of cyclic dibit response complex vector G.
In operation, N-dibit response samples of cyclic dibit response vector g are cyclically rotated for a best alignment (e.g., bringing the positive peak and the negative peak of the cyclic dibit response to the center) before being used to perform an equalizer computation by any well-known method (e.g., a zero-forcing equalization or a minimum mean square error equalization). Alternatively or concurrently, based on the N-dibit response samples of cyclic dibit response vector g, it is also possible to determine the jointly optimum target and equalizer characteristics to be used in an NPML design. In applications requiring less than N-dibit response coefficients, the obtained dibit response can be truncated or approximated as would be appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art.
In practice, the present invention does not impose any limitations or any restrictions as to the structural configurations of modules 40, 50 and 60. Thus, the following description of exemplary embodiments 41, 51 and 61 of modules 40, 50 and 60 as illustrated respectively in FIGS. 5-7 does not limit the scope of the structural configurations of modules 40, 50 and 60.
FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment 41 of module 40 (FIG. 3) employing a channel sampling module 42, a readback vector averaging module 43, and a discrete Fourier transformation module 44.
Module 42 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to execute a N-point sampling of the DSS readback sequence at a sample rate of 1/TS=5/(4T) to yield a channel sampled readback vector yi=[yi 0yi 1 . . . yi N−1]t of N consecutive TS=(4/5)T spaced samples of an actual readback DSS waveform. In general, the number of samples N is equal to the number of coefficients in the cyclic dibit response and N TS is equal to one period of the DSS sequence, that is, N TS=24 T.
Module 43 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to average DSS readback vector y over a set of readback vectors yi, i=1, 2, . . . Nav, in accordance with
Module 44 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to perform a discrete Fourier transformation of DSS readback vector y to yield readback complex vector Y.
FIG. 6 illustrates exemplary embodiment 51 of module 50 (FIG. 3) employing a signal sampling module 52, and a discrete Fourier transformation module 53.
Module 52 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to perform a N-point sampling of the DSS sequence at a sample rate of 5/(4T) to yield DSS reference vector d=[d0 d1 . . . dN−1]t including N consecutive (4/5)T spaced samples of the DSS sequence. Again, in general, the number of samples N is equal to the number of coefficients of the cyclic dibit response and N TS is equal to one period of the DSS sequence, that is, N TS=24 T.
Module 53 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to perform a discrete Fourier transformation of the DSS reference vector d to yield DSS reference complex vector D.
FIG. 7 illustrates exemplary embodiment 61 of module 60 (FIG. 2) employing an odd indices computation module 62, an even indices interpolator module 63 and an inverse discrete Fourier transformation module 64.
Module 62 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to generate a N-point cyclic dibit response complex vector G as a function of a N�N diagonal matrix based on DSS reference complex vector D and DSS readback complex vector Y in accordance with {tilde over (G)}=[{tilde over (G)}0 {tilde over (G)}1 . . . {tilde over (G)}N−1]t=Λ−1D, where Λ=diag(D).
Module 63 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to linearly interpolate, in magnitude and phase, odd indices of cyclic dibit response complex vector G to obtain the spectral values G=[G0 G1 . . . GN−1]t, with
 G i  =  G ~ i - 1  +  G ~ i + 1  2 and ϕ ( G i ) = ϕ ( G ~ i - 1 ) + ϕ ( G ~ i + 1 ) 2 , where φ(A) denotes the phase of the complex number A, and i=2, 4, . . . , N/2 for N even, and i=2, 4, . . . , (N−3)/2 for N odd and Gi={tilde over (G)}i for i odd. In this embodiment, the spectral component with index i=0 is undetermined. Accordingly, this component is set to a small value without affecting the solution, because the magnetic recording channel does not transmit dc.
Module 64 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to perform an inverse discrete Fourier transformation of the spectral values of the N-point cyclic dibit response complex vector G to yield cyclic dibit response vector g including N-dibit response samples in accordance with g=[g0 g1 . . . gN−1]t.
FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary embodiment 71 of performance measurement unit 70 (FIG. 2) of the present invention employing a filtered DSS reference vector generation module 80 and an adder 90.
Module 80 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of DSS reference vector d and the cyclic dibit response vector g, and to generate a filtered DSS reference vector d′ as a function of a filtering of DSS reference vector d based on cyclic dibit response g. In one exemplary embodiment, module 80 generates N-point samples of filtered DSS reference vector d′ in accordance with d′=d*g, where * denotes convolution.
Adder 90 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware to receive an electrical communication of DSS readback vector y and filtered DSS reference vector d′, and to generate an error signal e as a differential between DSS readback vector y and filtered DSS reference vector d′. Those having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate a representation by error signal e of zero (0) difference between DSS readback vector y and filtered DSS reference vector d′ indicates an accurate computation of the N-point cyclic dibit response vector g. Conversely, those having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate a representation by error signal e of a non-zero difference between DSS readback vector y and filtered DSS reference vector d′ indicates an inaccurate computation of N-point cyclic dibit response vector g. In this case, various parameters of equalizer 12 (FIG. 2) and/or generator 20 (FIG. 2) can be reconfigured until such time error signal e represents an acceptably small difference between DSS readback vector y and filtered DSS reference vector d′. In operation, the DSS readback sequences, the number Nα of such sequences, the relative time alignments of signals y and d, the cyclic recentering of the cyclic dibit response coefficients are among the parameters that are adjusted for reducing the error signal e to an acceptably small value.
In practice, the present invention does not impose any limitations or any restrictions as to the structural configurations of adder 90. Thus, the preceding description of exemplary embodiment of adder 90 does not limit the scope of the structural configurations of module 90.
Referring to FIG. 8, an alternative embodiment of unit 71 can employ versions of modules 42 and 43 as previously described herein in connection with FIG. 5 to generate and provide DSS readback vector y to adder 90. Alternatively or concurrently, unit 71 can also employ a version of module 52 as previously described herein in connection with FIG. 7 to generate and provide DSS reference vector d to module 80.
FIG. 9 illustrates a tape drive system 10 employing read channel 11, an equalizer 12, a processor 13 and a memory 14. FIG. 9 does not illustrate any particular interface architecture of channel 11, equalizer 12, processor 13 and memory 14, because in practice, the present invention does not impose any limitations or any restrictions as to the interfacing of components 11-14 and any other components of system 10 as would occur to those having ordinary skill in the art. In practice, as would be appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art, each component of generator 20 (FIG. 2) can be incorporated in the interface architecture as hardware/firmware 20 a, or as soft ware 20 b written in any conventional language and installed within a memory 14 whereby processor 13 can execute software 20 b. While the embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein are presently considered to be preferred embodiments, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is indicated in the appended claims, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalents are intended to be embraced therein.

Book 'Em North Carolina: Ocean Isle
Together, Alex and Emma came to Ocean Isle from Grand River. They had been drifting like vagrants, when a bartender in Fayetteville, NC told Alex about the little island along the coast. He told Alex that Ocean Isle was hidden away. Isolated. Accessed only by a tall bridge over deep water. A place where murderers could go to hide and never be found. Those words resonated with Alex, and he decided that he would go and hide there with his Emma. After all, he was Emma’s caretaker. He was her protector and servant. And they were also very much in love. How did your own work as a writer factor into Alex' character, since he is also a writer?
After Alex and Emma first arrived at Ocean Isle, things—at first—seemed too good to be true. They settled in, and Alex was able to start working on his next novel with uninterrupted calm. This short, calm period in the narrative gave me a chance to pack in some of the island's wonderful atmosphere into the story. But all the while some dark and evil forces were out there coalescing in the background: the psychopath Archie Andrews for one. And then there is Wayne Hawksworth, who is a recently furloughed prisoner. There is a ghost named Jessie Densmore, whose soul cries out for vengeance. And finally a coven of revenants that come from Grand River, and who are led by the vile and sinister Dr. Hallberg. It is Dr. Hallberg who is most scorned by Emma’s escape from Grand River, and who will not rest until she is found. ABOUT THE BOOK

Dear Principal...: Instagram Teaching
I set up an Instagram account today (mrnauton) as an experiment. When I take pictures of activities at school for the yearbook or for my bulletin boards, the students always ask if I'm on Facebook/Instagram/Vine/a new one every week that I haven't heard of yet. Of course I have no desire to share with the entire school the treasured photos of my goofy boys, our fat cat, or the burgers I eat, but if our students are using it to share and communicate maybe I can sneak a little education and inspiration in?
Right now it will be photos of places we go (museums and the like) or cool things we find (full moons, cool plants, the Lego Movie!) but when I have a classroom it could be used to flip a lesson, share favorite books, and for students to demonstrate learning.

Introduced seven years ago, interleague play has undoubtedly lost some of its novelty, a fact acknowledged by its strongest proponents and its chief architect, commissioner Bud Selig."Not every [interleague] series is special," Selig concedes.But, as Selig is quick to add, not every intraleague series has appeal. Sure, Pittsburgh vs. Kansas City is pretty drab, but then, so is Pittsburgh vs. Colorado or Kansas City vs. Tampa Bay, for that matter.Thankfully, a full-scale rotation is in place -- even if there are curious turns and strange exceptions -- so that new matchups are offered. Eight years after it began, there are still some teams that haven't faced one another.Baseball still manages to grab plenty of attention and appease its fan base with its June crossover series. In recognition of that, we offer a guide to the best -- and worst -- of interleague play.Best traditional series
WHO: New York Yankees vs. New York Mets.WHEN and WHERE: June 25-27 at Yankee Stadium; July 2-4 at Shea Stadium.WHY: Even when the Mets have struggled (the last three seasons), these meetings have been worthwhile. Simply put, the passion, interest and tradition surrounding baseball in New York is unmatched. In recent years, these games have given Yankee fans a chance to reassert their Big Apple dominance; for Mets fans, it's been a chance to salvage otherwise forgettable seasons. Now that the Mets are at least respectable again and seemingly heading in the right direction, these series will have extra juice. Too bad Roger Clemens isn't still in town to provide additional interest.
WHO: Chicago White Sox vs. Chicago Cubs.WHEN and WHERE: June 25-27 at U.S. Cellular Field; July 2-4 at Wrigley Field.WHY: Unlike New York, where the Mets-Yankees would be special even if both teams were in the basement, this intra-city rivalry only really heats up when both teams are in contention. That's the case this year, with the White Sox holding down a portion of the AL Central and the Cubs, having stalled with injuries, ready to reassert themselves in the crowded NL Central. Cubs fans love to remind White Sox rooters that the South Siders had Sammy Sosa, only to deal him to the Cubs. For a city without a pennant-winner on either side of town since -- gulp -- 1959, could this be the year for an all-Windy City World Series?
WHO: Anaheim Angels vs. Los Angeles Dodgers.WHEN and WHERE: June 25-27 at Dodger Stadium; July 2-4 at Angel Stadium.WHY: The battle for SoCal supremacy is on. Think about it: Both teams have new owners; both teams are in first place in their respective divisions. The Angels have a former Dodger in their dugout and a world championship ring. The Dodgers nearly signed Vladimir Guerrero, only to lose him to ... the Angels. Add in that Anaheim owner Arte Moreno has made noise about the Angels becoming LA's real team, and the presence of quite possibly the two most unhittable relief pitchers in the game -- the Dodgers' Eric Gagne and Anaheim's Francisco Rodriguez -- and you have the makings for six very interesting games. Who says baseball passion is confined to the East Coast?The return of the prodigal ones
WHO: Detroit Tigers vs. Florida Marlins.WHEN and WHERE: June 11-13 at Comerica Park.WHY: Catcher Pudge Rodriguez, on a one-year deal, helped the Marlins to a world championship last season, then was unable to agree on a multi-year contract to remain in Miami. With options dwindling, Rodriguez signed a unique multi-year deal with the Tigers that has various out clauses along the way. So far, both teams have prospered. The Marlins are in the NL East race -- though the recent injury to Ramon Castro has them seeking more catching help -- while the Tigers have put their miserable 2003 season behind them and aren't far from the break-even point. Lopez
WHO: Atlanta Braves vs. Baltimore Orioles.WHEN and WHERE: June 25-27, at Camden Yards.WHY: After spending his entire career with the Braves, catcher Javy Lopez, fresh off a career year, bolted for Baltimore where, predictably, he's hit well in Camden Yards. This won't be an emotionally charged reunion, however. The Braves are all too accustomed in recent years to seeing veterans walk away: Gary Sheffield, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux have all left in the last two seasons. Mondesi
WHO: Anaheim Angels vs. Pittsburgh Pirates.WHEN and WHERE: June 15-17 at PNC Park.WHY: Before Raul Mondesi could unpack in Pittsburgh, his union with the Pirates was annulled. Mondesi cited personal and financial problems, returned to his native Dominican and had his contract voided. Some in baseball believe this was merely a ploy for Mondesi to go to a better team. Now, weeks later, Mondesi will return with the Angels. Don't expect a royal welcome.History revisited
WHO: Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers.WHEN and WHERE: June 11-13 at Fenway Park.WHY: Boston developer Frank McCourt tried to buy the Red Sox three years ago. Unsuccessful, he took aim 3,000 miles away and landed the Dodgers. Now, McCourt has a homecoming, and so, too, do his Dodgers. The last time they came to Boston, it was as the visitors in the last regular-season series at Braves Field, once home to the Boston (nee Milwaukee; nee Atlanta) Braves.
WHO: New York Yankees vs. Arizona Diamondbacks.WHEN and WHERE: June 15-17 at Bank One Ballpark.WHY: This is where the Yankees championship drought -- if one can safely call three years a drought -- began. Remember? The Yanks led in the ninth inning of Game 7 and had Mariano Rivera on the mound. A fourth straight title seemed assured. But the D-Backs fought back and stole the game on Luis Gonzalez's soft liner over Derek Jeter's head. No doubt, it must seem like a long time ago for both teams.
WHO: Cleveland Indians vs. Atlanta Braves.WHEN and WHERE: June 18-20, at Turner Field.WHY: In the 1990s, the Indians and Braves combined to win seven pennants and opened state-of-the-art ballparks, serving to resuscitate interest in the franchises of each city. Most memorably, they met in the 1995 World Series, won by the Braves, their one victorious trip to the Fall Classic in a handful of tries. Nine years later, the teams are rebuilding and the new century hasn't been as kind to either the Braves or Indians. The Indians have already bottomed out; the Braves are still working on their consecutive division title streak, but that seems in jeopardy now more than an ever. Sean McAdam of the Providence (R.I.)
