Title: Innovations of Jason Laks in Data Storage Technology
Introduction
Jason Laks is an accomplished inventor based in Boulder, CO. He has made significant contributions to the field of data storage technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and reliability of disk drives.
Latest Patents
One of Jason Laks's latest patents is titled "Writing reference patterns in a disk drive using back EMF based timing signals compensated for repeatable variation therein." This invention provides an apparatus for writing reference patterns on a data storage disk of a disk drive. The disk is rotated by a spindle motor, and a back EMF sense circuit generates a sequence of zero crossing signals from the back EMF sensed on the windings of the spindle motor. The timing signal generated by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit compensates for variations, ensuring that the timing signal remains independent of these variations.
Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for modifying spiral profile using reference tracks written onto a disk surface of a disk drive." This invention outlines a method for modifying a spiral profile using reference tracks written onto a disk surface. It involves a disk drive that includes both a read head and a write head, with a servo track writer that moves the heads relative to the disk surface. The write head writes reference tracks that help modify the spiral profile, enhancing the disk drive's functionality.
