Latest Patents
Rogers holds a patent for a "System and method for early disc drive fault detection." This invention provides an apparatus and method for the early detection of faults in a head-disc assembly (HDA) during the disc drive manufacturing process. The system obtains parametrics from an HDA at a parametric station and feeds this data into a pattern recognition system. This system estimates an error rate category based on the measured HDA parametrics. The estimated error rate category, along with the parametrics, is then processed by a fuzzy inferencing system. This system classifies the HDA as GOOD, MARGINAL, or BAD, based on the parametrics and the estimated error rate category. HDAs classified as GOOD or MARGINAL continue through dynamic burn-in (DBI), while those classified as BAD are subjected to rework. The pattern recognition system also includes a reference database that contains historical parametric and associated error rate data, which is updated over time.
