Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a method, product, apparatus and system is disclosed. In some aspects of the present disclosure, a method of writing data to a data storage device is described that includes acquiring data from a data source; encoding the data in a format for writing; and embedding the encoded data into one or more periodic structures formed by controlled chatter patterning onto a substrate of the data storage device.
Claims23
A method of writing data to a data storage device comprising:
- acquiring data from a data source;
- encoding the data in a format for writing;
- and
- embedding the encoded data into one or more periodic structures formed by controlled chatter patterning onto a substrate of the data storage device.
A method of reading data from a data storage device comprising:
- Imaging one or more periodic structures formed on a substrate of the data storage device by controlled chatter patterning;
- and
- converting the one or more periodic structures into user recognizable data using a predetermining coding algorithm.
A device for writing data to a data storage device comprising:
- a data acquisition module configured to acquire data to be written to the data storage device from a data source;
- an encoder configured to encode the data in a format for writing;
- and
- an embedder configured to embed the encoded data into one or more periodic structures formed by controlled chatter patterning onto a substrate of the data storage device.
A data storage device comprising:
- a substrate including a one or more periodic structures formed thereon by controlled chatter patterning, wherein the one or more periodic structures are encoded to represent data stored thereon.
A device for reading data from a data storage device comprising:
- an Imaging module configured to image one or more periodic structures formed on a substrate of the data storage device by controlled chatter patterning;
- and
- a conversion module configured to convert the one or more periodic structures into user recognizable data using a predetermining coding algorithm.
