Title: Read head with read track width defining layer that planarizes the write gap layer of a write head
Inventor: CHANG HENRY CHINLIN
IPC: G11B5/012
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: A read track width defining layer (306, 310) is employed for defining first (322) and second side edges of a read sensor. The read track width defining layer (310) preferably remains in the head to planarize the read head at first (330) and second (332) hard bias and lead layers so as to overcome a problem of write gap curvature in an accompanying write head. The read track width defining layer is defined by a subtractive process about a bilayer photoresist layer (308). The subtractive process is selective to the read track width defining layer over a read sensor material layer (304) therebelow. Ion milling is then employed for defining first and second side edges of a read sensor layer employing the read track width defining layer as a mask. First and second hard bias and lead layers are then deposited which make contiguous junctions with the first and second side edges of each of the read sensor and read track width defining layers. The photoresist is then removed and the remainder of the read head is completed.

Title: Signal path searching means in a mobile communications system
Inventor: KIM JEONG HO
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2002-10-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a signal path searching means in a mobile communications system provided with a number of array antenna elements. The path search is performed by applying a correlation of spread or despread signals to first phase values estimated for the signal path. If the maximum value among the partial correlations exceeds a first threshold value, the partial correlation values are applied to second phase values based on the first phase value that produced the first maximum value. A new signal path is searched according to a comparison of the second maximum value among the partial correlation values to which the second phase information values are applied. The path search may be performed by temporal 203 or spatial 204 processing of the signals received 201 at a specific time and based on first and second estimated phase information. The disclosed signal path searching results in an improved search performance and a reduction in time required for a signal path search and is particularly suited for third generation systems including WCDMA mobile communications systems.
