Title: Circuit and method for rapid checking of error correction codes using cyclic redundancy check
Inventor: SZE HUNG Y
IPC: H03M13/15
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: A circuit and method uses CRC to check errors detected and corrected by an E CC unit (120) when reading data from a disk (116) in a disk drive (110). A CRC unit (118) monitors both the sector bytes read from the disk platter (114) a nd the error corrections made by the ECC unit (120) to the data and CRC bytes. The CRC unit (118) uses this information to determine whether the ECC- corrected data bytes stored in a buffer unit (122) were properly corrected. The CRC unit (118) reads data bytes and CRC bytes from the disk (116) simultaneously with the ECC unit (120). The CRC unit (118) begins generating  a residue to detect errors in the data at approximately the same time the ECC unit (120) begins generating a residue to detect errors in the sector. The C RC unit (118) does not wait for the ECC unit (120) to finish and transfer the E CC error corrections into a buffer. The CRC error check is completed before any  data is transferred to the host computer (112). In particular, the CRC unit (118) approves the data before the disk drive controller (126) sends the dat a to the host (112).
Patent CA-2334260-A1 (CA)
Title: Trailing arm axle/suspension system
Inventor: BACHIR MOHAMAD A
IPC: B60G7/00
Filed: 1998-09-30
Abstract: A trailing arm axle suspension system includes rigid or spring beams for mounting the axle (28) directly to the beam (24) without any or minimal, respectively, additional mounting hardware of structure. An axle mounting plate (43) is formed as part of the preassembled rigid beam or attached to the spring beam, and is formed with a recess (46) that is slightly smaller than or the same size as the smallest axle which will be seated therein. The axle is force fit in the recess under force sufficient to eliminate clearance and create intimate contact between the axle and the axle mounting plate. The force typically deforms the axle from its normal cross-sectional shape, such as round, into a generally oval or ellipitical cross-section shape. Such a force fit also creates a preload or compression between the axle and the axle mounting plate in the recess area. Continuous welds (58) disposed in windows formed in the axle mounting plate are circumferentially offset from recess-defining edges of the axle mounting plate and the vertical axis plane of the axle. The vertical height of the beam in the area of the axle mount, in rigid top mount beam applications, is relatively small to improve clearance in low ride-height applications, and an insert is disposed in this highly loaded area to strengthen the beam.
