Systems and methods are disclosed to recognize human action from one or more video frames by performing 3D convolutions to capture motion information encoded in multiple adjacent frames and extracting features from spatial and temporal dimensions therefrom; generating multiple channels of information from the video frames, combining information from all channels to obtain a feature representation for a 3D CNN model; and applying the 3D CNN model to recognize human actions.

Protective overlayers for magnetic recording media are described. The overlayers, composed of a transition metal-silicon or transition metal-germanium interlayer and a carbon overcoat, provide good wear resistance and corrosion resistance at thicknesses of less than 100.

An apparatus for measuring the height and diameter of laser-zone texture bumps on a rigid magnetic disk substrate is disclosed. The apparatus has a disk holder for supporting and rotating the substrate, and an optical beam-source assembly for directing a focused laser beam on the substrate, and for shifting the position of the beam's illumination spot on the substrate in a tracking (radial) direction. An optical detection assembly in the apparatus measures the deflection of the laser beam due to specular reflection of the beam by laser-zone texture bumps, as a function of time, in both scanning (circumferential) and tracking directions. A computational device in the apparatus functions to (i) calculate scanning and tracking deflection values which characterize beam deflections in the scanning and tracking directions, respectively, for a texture bump passing through the illumination spot produced by the beam on the substrate, (ii) select for bump-height analysis, those texture bumps whose scanning deflection values are above a selected threshold value and whose tracking deflection values are below a selected threshold value, indicative of a condition in which the selected textured bumps are each in focus and centered within said illumination spot, and (iii) determine the texture bump heights and diameters of the selected bumps from the beam deflections in the scanning direction. Also disclosed is a method by which the apparatus measures the light power which is scattered by the of laser-zone texture bumps on a rigid magnetic disk substrate.

Damascene processes using physical vapor deposition (PVD) sputter carbon film as a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) stop layer for forming a magnetic recording head are provided. In one embodiment, one such process includes providing an insulator, removing a portion of the insulator to form a trench within the insulator, depositing a carbon material on first portions of the insulator using a physical vapor deposition process, disposing at least one ferromagnetic material on second portions of the insulator to form a pole including a portion of the ferromagnetic material within the trench, and performing a chemical mechanical planarization on the at least one ferromagnetic material using at least a portion of the carbon material as a stop for the chemical mechanical planarization.

A texturing device for texturing a disc substrate of the type used in forming a thin-film medium is described. The device includes a rotatable assembly having a first pad attached to one end of a spindle and an annular ring having a second pad attached on one surface. Each pad defines a texturing surface for texturing the inner and outer regions of the disc substrate.

Polishing slurries for use in polishing substrates having a nickel or nickel-containing surface, such as those used for magnetic media, are described. The slurries include, in addition to a chemical etchant such as aluminum nitrate and suspended abrasive particles, an oxidizer which converts nickel metal at the surface to nickel oxide, but does not solubilize the nickel oxide in the aqueous medium to any significant degree. Preferred oxidizers include hydrogen peroxide, ferric nitrate and potassium iodate.
