Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Low cost simplified spectrum analyzer for magnetic head/media tester." This invention characterizes electronic components by measuring performance parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio and overwrite evaluation. The electronic component tester includes a tester process controller that generates calibration and control signals, and a spectrum analyzer that communicates with electronic components to receive response characterization signals. The spectrum analyzer determines the frequency spectrum of these signals and works in conjunction with the tester process controller to enhance measurement accuracy.
Another notable patent is the "Iterative repeatable run-out nulling for magnetic head tester." This method operates a head testing apparatus using a mounted hard disk with pre-written servo track information. It effectively eliminates repeatable errors and runout by replacing eccentric pre-written servo tracks with new track profiles that are tracked like circular tracks. This innovative approach resolves issues caused by transferring disks between machines, ensuring precise measurements.
