Asperities are often treated using conventional statistical descriptors such as average and root mean square roughness, which do not provide adequate mechanistic insight into surface defect formation and mitigation. The new rationale revolves around developing a mathematical description of the evolution of the area occupied by asperities at each height slice on a topography image, with direct implications on how asperity instances are tracked and their risk of breakage leading to potential exposure and degradation of the metal surface upon thermo-mechanical stresses during the operation of read/write heads is assessed. The technique was shown to be disruptive by surpassing all other surface quality metrics, such as conventional roughness and static area % asperity at 0.5 nm height, in its ability to statistically differentiate surfaces coming from various manufacturing process iterations tailored to produce different surface conditions in the hard disk drive industry. A theoretical formulation proposing that the static asperity technique is fundamentally insufficient, is presented and validated experimentally.展开更多

And in today’s conditions, when an earthquake can destroy the floor of a city in an instant, or when a missile hits an office and all servers turn into scrap metal, the issue of data safety becomes especially important. Also, you can’t put the cost of the software and the convenience of working with files in last place. Especially if an office worker needs to find the necessary information on a client, a financial contract or a company’s financial product in a few seconds. Also, during the operation of computer equipment, failures are possible, and some of them can lead to partial or complete loss of information. In this paper, it is proposed to create another level of abstraction for working with the file system, which will be based on a relational database as a storage of objects and access rights to objects. Also considered are possible protocols for transferring data to other programs that work with files, these can be both small sites and the operating system itself. This article will be especially interesting for financial institutions or companies operating in the banking sector. The purpose of this article is an attempt to introduce another level of abstraction for working with files. A level that is completely abstracted from the storage medium.展开更多
