    Abstract: A contact event between a sensing device and a storage medium is detected by receiving a signal indicating a physical proximity between the sensing device and the storage medium; generating a plurality of frequency bin outputs; comparing one or more frequency bin outputs to a corresponding first level threshold to yield a corresponding comparator output; summing the comparator output with at least one prior instance of the comparator output to yield an aggregated value; comparing the aggregated value to an aggregate threshold to yield an aggregate output; and generating a contact event output if one or more of a first group of the plurality of frequency bin outputs has an associated aggregate output set to a predefined binary value and a predefined minimum number of a second group of the plurality of frequency bin outputs has an associated aggregate output set to a predefined binary value.

    Abstract: A method and system for performing a shortened acquire cycle for at least one fragment of at least one data sector having coherently written fragments, the coherently written fragments being written during a single rotation of a storage medium. The method includes performing a full acquire cycle for a first fragment of a particular data sector of the at least one data sector. The method further includes reusing at least a portion of the acquisition information of the first fragment to perform a shortened acquire cycle for at least one subsequent coherently written fragment. The method also includes reusing at least a portion of the acquisition information of the first fragment to perform a shortened acquire cycle for at least one subsequent coherently written fragment. Additionally, the method includes performing the shortened acquire cycle for the at least one subsequent coherently written fragment.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, circuits for data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for reporting a synchronization indication and for applying a synchronization window. As an example, a system is discussed that includes: a head assembly including a first read head and a second read head; a down track distance calculation circuit operable to calculate a down track distance between the first read head and the second read head; and a synchronization mark detection circuit. The synchronization mark detection circuit is operable to: assert a synchronization mark window based at a location based at least in part on the down track distance; query a first data set derived from the first read head for a synchronization mark occurring within the synchronization mark window; and query a second data set derived from the second read head for the synchronization mark occurring within the synchronization mark window.
