摘要:
In conventional Backplane Ethernet systems, data is transmitted over two pairs of copper traces in one direction using a PAM-2 scheme and a baud rate of 10.3125 GHz, giving an effective bit rate of 10.3125 Gbps. The rate at which data can be transmitted in Backplane Ethernet systems, while still being reliably received, is typically limited by ISI caused by the dispersive nature of the copper traces, frequency dependent transmission losses caused primarily by skin effect and dielectric loss of the copper traces, and cross-talk from adjacent communication lines. The present invention is directed to systems for overcoming these and other signal impairments to achieve speeds up to, and beyond, twice the conventional 10 Gbps limit associated with Backplane Ethernet systems.

A media event timer includes a counter module for generating a sequence of counts based on a clock signal of a disk drive unit. A counter reset module sets the counter module to a reset count in response to a servo address mark detection signal. A detector module detects that a servo address mark has been missed and sets the counter module to a restart count when the servo address mark has been missed. A trigger module triggers a first media event when a first media event count compares favorably to a count of the sequence of counts.

In the growing of crops for consumption, a method for the removal of pathogens includes the addition to irrigation water for the crops of an anti-pathogen composition and supplying the anti-pathogen composition to the crops prior to harvest while normal irrigation is effected. The anti-pathogen composition is based on halogens, such as chlorine, bromine and iodine, or mixtures of halogens or halogens combined with other organic radicals including cyanurate, hydantoin, peroxide and chlorine dioxide. BCDMH and TICA are preferred anti-pathogen components of the anti-pathogen composition and may be added to a carrier concentrate and measured and dosed into the irrigation water.

A process to sanitize fruit and vegetables, which may be used for products that are whole, diced, sliced, peeled, chopped or shredded. The process includes the use of a disinfectant agent, such as, for example, BCDMH, at a pH at, or above, 8.3. A buffer is used to obtain the correct pH and is, preferably, a mixture of calcium, sodium and potassium salts.
摘要:
A method for characterizing a read channel of a disk drive by storing a pseudorandom number (PN) sequence at a first location on a recording surface of the disk drive, and storing the PN sequence at a second location on the recording surface. The PN sequence at the first location is read to generate a first playback signal, and a first dibit response is determined from the first playback signal. The PN sequence at the second location is read to generate a second playback signal, and a second dibit response is determined from the first playback signal. The first and second dibit responses are arithmetically combined to generate a combined dibit response in which at least some non-linear echoes are isolated.

Embodiments enable quick PHY re-training when the link is restarted due an event such as EMI, for example. In particular, embodiments recognize that, in the case of such events as EMI, a substantial portion of the training process as prescribed in the standard can be bypassed during the link restart without affecting subsequent link performance. In particular, embodiments recognize that a substantial amount of previously learned link parameters may still be used after link restart, and thus eliminate the need to re-learn them thereby speeding up the link restart process. Further, embodiments recognize that the standard prescribed link start up procedure can be accelerated in the case of link restart by reducing standard prescribed periods for transitioning between states of the link start up process. Additionally, embodiments provide a mechanism that relies on the auxiliary bit (AUX) of LDPC coded user data frames to pre-emptively and dynamically notch out troublesome EMIs before they cause the link to fail.

摘要:
A decoder for error correction an encoded message, such as one encoded by a turbo encoder, with reduced iterations due to an improved stopping criterion. The decoder includes an error correction loop that iteratively processes a message that is encoded prior to transmittal over a communication channel. The error correction loop generates, such as with a Reed-Solomon decoder, an error location polynomial in each iterative process. A stopping mechanism in the decoder allows an additional iteration of the message decoding based on the error location polynomial, such as by obtaining the degree of the error location polynomial and comparing it to a threshold. In one example, the threshold is the maximum number of symbol errors correctable by the Reed-Solomon code embodied in the decoder. The stopping mechanism allows additional iterations when the stopping criterion (or polynomial degree) is greater than the maximum number of symbol errors correctable by the Reed-Solomon code.
