CMSIS-Zone
Version 1.1.0
System Resource Management
|
Embedded systems frequently integrate specify hardware for access protection or system isolation. For example, a Cortex-M33 processor based system may incorporate:
Embedded systems may also integrate multiple processors that share system resources (memory and peripherals). In an AMP (Asymmetric Multiprocessor System) it is required to assign or partition the available resources to various processors that execute independent parts of the application software.
CMSIS-Zone helps you to manage this complexity and allows to partition an embedded system into project zones and/or execution zones.
A project zone defines the memory resources and peripherals for a sub-project that execute on the system. Typical examples are boot-loader and user application, however also the secure and non-secure parts of a Cortex-M TrustZone system is defined using project zones.
An execution zone is a software compartment that is protected using a MPU. It defines the access rights to memory and peripherals for a isolated part of the system. This ensures that for example a communication stack (with design flaws) cannot tamper the data or peripherals of other critical parts in a system.
CMSIS-Zone includes a utility that allows you to manage these zones. The input to this utility is a resource (*.rzone) file the defines the system resources including memory and peripherals.
For these resources the user interface of the CMSIS-Zone utility allows:
This system configuration is stored in an assignment (*.azone) file. With the Generate function of the CMSIS-Zone utility, the resource and configuration data can be used to generate:
The following diagram shows the development work flow when using the CMSIS-Zone management tool.
It is possible to uses these steps multiple times which allows to split a complex SoC design with multiple processors into smaller sub-systems. For example a multi-core device can be partitioned in steps:
The following SoC diagram exemplifies step 1 and step 2 of this workflow.
The following sections explain:

Jose Mourinho explains why he wanted to take Tottenham Hotspur job
The Portuguese has been appointed on a three-and-a-half year deal and replaces Mauricio Pochettino in the hotseat after the Argentinean was sacked on Tuesday night
by Mark Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mark-jones/Jose Mourinho says he is excited to work with the Tottenham Hotspur squad after being appointed as the club's new manager.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has replaced Mauricio Pochettino in North London and signed a deal until the end of the 2022/23 season.
“I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters," he told the club website.
"The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
Chairman Daniel Levy added: “Mauricio and his coaching staff will always be part of our history. I have the utmost admiration for the manner in which he dealt with the difficult times away from a home ground whilst we built the new stadium and for the warmth and positivity he brought to us.
"I should like to thank him and his coaching staff for all they have contributed. They will always be welcome here.
“We have a talented squad. We need to re-energise and look to deliver a positive season for our supporters.”
Tottenham announced the appointment on Wednesday morning, just hours after Pochettino's sacking.
A Spurs statement read: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Head Coach on a contract that runs until the end of the 2022/23 season.
"Jose is one of the world’s most accomplished managers having won 25 senior trophies.
"He is renowned for his tactical prowess and has managed FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United."
Mourinho's first game in charge will be the trip to West Ham on Saturday, with Spurs going to his former club Manchester United on Wednesday December 4.


At this point, you might be wondering: what is Open Source software all about?
Well, Open Source isn't just about free software. It's about projects where the code is made publicly available (usually on a site called GitHub) so that a very healthy community of developers from around the
world can collaborate and contribute to it by suggesting improvements and bugfixes. It's like writing a book where many other authors can pitch in some great ideas for the story.
So why is it so important? Because it helps push the software industry forward more than anything else. The most impactful and influential software developments in the world
today such as Android, Linux, TensorFlow, React and Python are all completely Open
Source.
These projects haven't been developed only by a single person or organization. They all have contributions from the public community, where people (just like you!) have helped build, test, secure and improve the
quality
of
the software to make it as big and as awesome as it is today.

DROP SQUAD A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 6.0
Date Released: 10/28/94 Running Length: 1:26 Rated: R (Language, violence, mature themes)
Starring: Eriq LaSalle, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Ving Rhames, Kasi Lemmons, Leonard Thomas, Eric A. Payne, Nicole Powell Director: D. Clark Johnson Producers: Shelby Stone and Butch Robinson Screenplay: David C. Johnson & Butch Robinson based on a story by David Taylor Cinematography: Ken Kelsch Music: Michael Bearden Released by Gramercy Pictures
"Deprogramming," as it's commonly called, gained notoriety in relation to the religious cult movements of the '60s, '70s, and '80s. As originally envisioned, the procedure went something like this: deprogrammers kidnap a subject from a cult (typically at the request of family members), bring them to a "safe house," then indoctrinate them with anti-cult material until they renounce their recently-held beliefs and return to "normal" society.
DROP SQUAD adds a twist to the reasons behind, if not the process of, deprogramming. This time, it's not religious fanatics being kidnapped, but African Americans who are seen as having either sold out or turned their backs on the struggles of their race. The DROP (Deprogramming and Restoration of Pride) Squad was organized in the 1960s under the leadership of Rocky (Vondie Curtis-Hall) as a means by which blacks having lost touch with their people could be reminded of certain basic truths. With the advent of the '90s, however, the Squad's methods have become increasingly violent, and a fissure is developing between the group's leaders, Rocky and Garvey (Ving Rhames), about which method is better: talk or abuse.
To its credit, DROP SQUAD presents an effective case for the means favored by those on both sides of the dispute. Rocky believes that enlightenment through violence goes against the tenants upon which the DROP Squad was formed. Garvey argues that drug dealers and their like don't understand or respect anything except force. Given the way things develop, it's clear which side is winning the debate.
The bulk of the story involves the kidnapping of Bruford Jamison Jr. (Eriq LaSalle) at the request of his sister (Nicole Powell), who believes that he's gone over to the "enemy." Her evidence: Bruford works at a white-owned advertising agency developing cynical and demeaning commercials designed to sell cheap and potentially- destructive products (such as Mumblin' Jack Malt Liquor and General Otis Fried Chicken's "Gospel Pak") to blacks. The DROP Squad takes the job, kidnapping Bruford, tying him to a chair, and relentlessly abusing him, both psychologically and physically, all in the name of "enlightenment."
While DROP SQUAD spends some of its screen time debating the means by which the group attains their end, it hardly ever touches on the issue of an individual's rights. Considering that this fundamental question lies at the heart of deprogramming, it's odd to find a film whose only acknowledgement of the subject comes as a throwaway line.
DROP SQUAD uses a dual approach of satire and melodrama. Much of Bruford's life is portrayed with an edge that often verges on open parody--he is less an individual than a representation of those of his race in corporate America who have become boot-lickers. The depiction of Bruford's condescending commercials (one of which includes a self-deprecating appearance by executive producer Spike Lee) are viciously on-target. The accuracy and familiarity of what *should be* ludicrous lampoons is startling.
The film veers off course during the actual deprogramming sequences, which look like something out of Oliver Stone's bloated NATURAL BORN KILLERS. Here, melodrama and odd camera angles (meant to emphasize Bruford's disorientation) overwhelm the viewer. The heavy-handed sermonizing feels more like a force-feeding than something willingly- consumed.
Considering all the themes and issues brought to the screen in DROP SQUAD, the conclusion is surprisingly open-ended. There is no catharsis. In fact, there's not even a real sense of closure (a series of captions just before the end credits unsuccessfully attempts to remedy this). Given its perspective on black pride and integrity, it's impossible to dismiss what DROP SQUAD has to say. On the other hand, the method of telling leaves the viewer wondering as much--or more--about those subjects that didn't make it to the screen as those that did.

scrollnav works by scanning the given HTML Node Element for section
landmarks, by default h2
elements, that it then uses to generate the
navigation.
Page markup
The content should be wrapped in a container to avoid including unintended landmarks in the nav. If we were to look at a typical document, it might look like this:

First section

...

Second section

...

Third section

...

Initialize
Next, we’ll save the .main-content
container Node to a variable and then pass
it on to scrollnav. In this example we’ll use .querySelector()
but you could
also use .getElementByID()
or .getElementByClassName()
.
const content = document.querySelector('.main-content');
scrollnav.init(content);
scrollnav will then loop through the the h2
elements, add an ID if they don’t
already have one, build the nav, and then inject it just before the
.main-content
Node. The result for our example document would look like this:

First heading

You can model this using reified constraints and Boolean implication:
BoolVar b0(this, 0, 1);
BoolVar b1(this, 0, 1);
rel(this, I, IRT_GR, current_index, b0);
linear(...., b1);
rel(this, b0, BOT_IMP, b1, 1);
However, there is no reified version of element, you'll have to
express that in a different way.
Cheers,
Guido

Attendance and Participation Policy
Rationale: The policy is necessary to respond to the:
Legislative requirements of the Education Welfare Act 2002 which determines that the school must have an attendance policy
Role of the National Education Welfare Board
Requirements of the Department of Education and Skills
Educational interests of our students
Strategy set out in the school’s DEIS plan
Objectives: Research shows that irregular school attendance alters student performance within school, reduces their chances of success and inhibits social development. The policy promotes:
Good attendance record and participation in school
Develops a good work ethic within the student body
Better continuity of participation in class work
Increased student confidence and self-esteem arising from regular attendance
Improved examination results leading to varied career opportunities
Roles and Responsibilities
Students: It is the responsibility of students to
Attend school every day unless for a valid reason
Be punctual for all classes
Furnish notes in School Journal for expected absence
Furnish notes in School Journal for previous un explained absence
Get details of work missed due to absence
Subject Teachers
Take a roll call for each class
Monitor non-attendance and inform the school office
Make a list of students attending extracurricular activities for office and staff notice board
Class Tutors
Ensure completion of weekly attendance sheet
Leave copy of completed weekly attendance sheet in the office each Friday
Liaise with parents with regard to non-attendance patterns
Liaise with Home School Community Liaison teacher on attendance issues
School/Principal: The Principal will ensure that the school will:
Be open for 167 sessions each school year
Maintain attendance rolls
Accurately record and monitor all absenteeism and lateness
Clearly distinguish between absence which is authorised and absence which is unauthorised
Submit, termly, absence returns to the National Educational Welfare Board
Liaise with the National Educational Welfare Officer regarding absence issues and meet with relevant families
Inform the National Educational Welfare Board of students who are suspended from school for six days or more
Inform the National Educational Welfare Board when a student has been absent for a period of 20 days or greater and inform them of the reasons for the student’s absence
Board of Management: The Board shall ensure that
The statutory obligations of the school with regard to school attendance and participation are adhered to
A report on attendance levels in the school is submitted to the Education Welfare Officer
That all information is collected and issued in accordance with the Data Protection Act(1988)
An evaluation of the process, strategy and policy is carried out regularly
Parents: Parents can do a great deal to support the regular and punctual attendance of their son. Parents should:
Ensure that their son attends school regularly, on time, dressed in the school uniform and in a fit condition to learn
Ensure that their son stays at school once they have registered
Take an active interest in their son’s school life and work
Attend parents’ evenings and other school events
Ensure that their son completes his/her homework and goes to bed at an appropriate time
Be aware of letters from school which their son brings home
Ensure that their son only misses school for reasons which are unavoidable or justified, such as illness. Always notify the school as soon as possible – preferably on the first morning – of any absence
Confirm this in writing when the son returns to school
Avoid booking family holidays during the school term
Talk to the school if they are concerned that their son may be reluctant to attend
Avoid collecting their son unexpectedly from school as this causes significant disruption to teaching and learning
Student support to alleviate attendance problems:
School Completion Programme: The SCP holds a database of target students and tracks their pattern of attendance. This indicates any necessary interventions
Student Support Care Team: Weekly meeting analyses non-attendance patterns and decides on appropriate interventions
Early identification of students ‘at risk’
Treoir: The mentoring group keeps a close monitor of absences for the particular group of students involved in the programme
HSCL: The coordinator visits families to discuss reasons for ongoing absences and establishes close links with parents of ‘at risk’ students
HSCL visits parents to discuss benefits of regular attendance
Meetings with parents and Class Tutor/Principal of chronic absentees
Good attendance encouraged at assemblies
Certificates for good attendance awarded through JCSP
Yearly Mayoral visit promotes good attendance
Foroige targeting specific students
For chronic attendance issues the Principal and/or SCP liaises with Education Welfare Officer in Tusla
Weekly review of attendance figures
Monthly review of strategy to deal with chronic cases
Attendance Tracking
The school roll is taken every day by the Principal or the school secretary
Unless prior notification has been received by the office, parents are contacted by phone to enquire as to reason for student’s absence.
A notice, listing all absentee students, is placed on the staff notice board for the attention of the designated Class Tutors
The Class Tutor will pursue notes to explain absences
Parents are encouraged to use the school Journal to communicate with teachers
Success Criteria
Improvement in attendance figures by 3% by 2016/2017
Agreed procedures are consistently implemented
Chronic case numbers decrease by 5%


In this book, the words "data", "function", "argument" and "expression"
are used with the meanings usual in programming.
Certain other words are used in this book with meanings given below,
in a sequence such that the explanation of each word depends only on words
previously explained.
| VALUE
| Anything which can be produced by evaluating
an expression is
said to be a value. Every value is a data value or a function.
|
| NOUN | a data value

either a monad or a dyad (depending on
whether one or two arguments are supplied).
|
| OPERATOR | a function which takes, as its argument(s), nouns or verbs,
and produces as its result, a noun or verb or operator.
Every J function is a verb or an operator.
|
| ADVERB | an operator which takes a single argument.

| FRAME | See Cell.
|
| RANK | (of a verb) The natural, or intrinsic,
rank for its argument(s).
With an argument of any rank higher than its intrinsic rank,
the verb is applied separately to each intrinsic-rank cell of the argument.
A monad has one rank, a dyad has two (one each for left and right arguments)
and hence an ambivalent verb has three.

Made in Oklahoma: Writer-director Greg Coolidge returned to his home state to film his Thanksgiving football comedy 'The Turkey Bowl'
by Brandy McDonnellFor Greg Coolidge, football and Thanksgiving go together like turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
So, the filmmaker's newest release, the rowdy comedy "The Turkey Bowl," takes its name and concept from the informal football games played on the holiday.
"There aren't a lot of Thanksgiving movies, and so we thought, 'Huh, this will be an interesting sort of take,'" said Coolidge, the project's co-writer and director. "Everybody I know plays in a turkey bowl. When I come back to Oklahoma, I play with my family, and my buddies in L.A., we all play a turkey bowl. ... So, it's inspired by true events."
Penned by Coolidge and his writing partner Kirk Ward, the movie centers on Patrick Hodges (Ryan Hansen, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “Veronica Mars”), a former small-town high school quarterback who has grown up into a high-powered Chicago businessman. Since he hasn’t returned to his tiny Oklahoma hometown in years, his friends trick him into coming back for Thanksgiving and convince to finish their Turkey Bowl, a matchup with their bitter crosstown rivals that was snowed out 15 years ago.
Homecoming story
Lionsgate released "The Turkey Bowl" last week in select theaters as well as on digital and On Demand. Coolidge celebrated by doing a Q&A at Harkins Bricktown 16 with one of the film's stars: University of Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys football coach Barry Switzer.
"I was a football guy, grew up in Norman. Grew up down the street from Coach Switzer," he said. "It does have that kind of theme of going back home and realizing, 'Hey, these are my roots. This is where I'm from. Did I turn my back on it? Or did I not? Have I stayed connected?'"
The movie's themes couldn't help but resonate with the director, especially while filming scenes he had written that incorporated the BC Clark Christmas jingle or the "Secret Sidewalk," a walkway next to Switzer's house.
"The last day of the shoot, I thought, 'This is really fascinating for me, moved to L.A., became a filmmaker, doing movies and TV, coming back to my hometown to shoot something, wrote it for this moment in this place and got to do it.' And it was really a great sort of spirit that it had to it," he said.
A University of Oklahoma alumnus, Coolidge moved to Los Angeles 20 years ago to pursue a filmmaking career. He previously co-wrote and directed the 2006 Lionsgate comedy “Employee of the Month," starring Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson and Dax Shepard, and wrote and created the Universal Picture’s action-comedy franchise “Ride Along," starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, which he said may be getting a third installment.
Coach co-star
Coolidge lensed "The Turkey Bowl" last year in Norman, Purcell, Moore and Oklahoma City.
"People talk about community theater, and what we say with this is we have community film," he said "When we did the parade down in Purcell — and Purcell was amazing — they brought out big monster trucks and bands were there. We had hundreds and hundreds of people show up. And it's great — everybody's in the movie."
That includes his old neighbor Switzer. Coolidge said he first worked with the Super Bowl-winning field general as an associate producer on writer director Max Burnett's 1998 football movie "Possums."
"He did a phenomenal job. Max had written this great monologue, and he like, 'Should we give it to him?' And I was like, 'Let's just have Coach do his own thing,' so he kind of improvised the whole speech," Coolidge said. "When this movie came around, I was talking to Kirk ... and I said, 'Hey, we should go after Coach for this.' And he (Switzer) was like, 'Yeah, I did the last one; that was a good experience.' Then, this was a much, much bigger role for him. And he's fantastic in the movie."
Since the R-rated comedy is an independent movie that was filming on a tight schedule and even tighter budget, he said casting the legendary coach had one downside.
"It can be tricky with Coach, not because he doesn't remember his lines or hit his mark ... but 'cause once he starts telling stories, the entire crew, the cast, everybody stops. It's just like everyone wants to hear it, and then you're the director going, 'We really need to move on,'" Coolidge said with a grin. "He knows just the craziest stories, so that was the only tricky thing was having too much entertainment."
TO SEE IT
"The Turkey Bowl" is available to stream on digital and On Demand. Lionsgate will release it on DVD Jan. 14.

Reverses the byte order of a 32-bit or 64-bit (destination) register. This instruction is provided for converting little-endian values to big-endian format and vice versa. To swap bytes in a word value (16-bit register), use the XCHG instruction. When the BSWAP instruction references a 16-bit register, the result is undefined.
In 64-bit mode, the instruction’s default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bits. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.
The BSWAP instruction is not supported on IA-32 processors earlier than the Intel486™ processor family. For compatibility with this instruction, software should include functionally equivalent code for execution on Intel processors earlier than the Intel486 processor family.

This is a parser for HTTP written in Java, based quite heavily on
the Ryan Dahl’s C Version: http-parser
available here:
http://github.com/ry/http-parser
It parses both requests and responses. The parser is designed to be used in performance HTTP applications.
Features:
The parser extracts the following information from HTTP messages:
use ant compile|test|jar
TODO: in the present form, usage of the Java version of the parser shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out for someone familiar with the C version.
More documentation will follow shortly, in case you’re looking for an easy to use http library, this lib is probably not what you are looking for anyway …
All text after this paragraph (and most of the text above it) are from the original C version of the README and are currently only here for reference. In case you encounter any difficulties, find bugs, need help or have suggestions, feel free to contact me at (tim.becker@kuriositaet.de).
One http_parser
object is used per TCP connection. Initialize the struct
using http_parser_init()
and set the callbacks. That might look something
like this for a request parser:
http_parser_settings settings;
settings.on_path = my_path_callback;
settings.on_header_field = my_header_field_callback;
/* ... */
http_parser *parser = malloc(sizeof(http_parser));
http_parser_init(parser, HTTP_REQUEST);
parser->data = my_socket;
When data is received on the socket execute the parser and check for errors.
size_t len = 80*1024, nparsed;
char buf[len];
ssize_t recved;
recved = recv(fd, buf, len, 0);
if (recved < 0) {
/* Handle error. */
}
/* Start up / continue the parser.
* Note we pass recved==0 to signal that EOF has been recieved.
*/
nparsed = http_parser_execute(parser, &settings, buf, recved);
if (parser->upgrade) {
/* handle new protocol */
} else if (nparsed != recved) {
/* Handle error. Usually just close the connection. */
}
HTTP needs to know where the end of the stream is. For example, sometimes
servers send responses without Content-Length and expect the client to
consume input (for the body) until EOF. To tell http_parser about EOF, give
0
as the forth parameter to http_parser_execute()
. Callbacks and errors
can still be encountered during an EOF, so one must still be prepared
to receive them.
Scalar valued message information such as status_code
, method
, and the
HTTP version are stored in the parser structure. This data is only
temporally stored in http_parser
and gets reset on each new message. If
this information is needed later, copy it out of the structure during the
headers_complete
callback.
The parser decodes the transfer-encoding for both requests and responses transparently. That is, a chunked encoding is decoded before being sent to the on_body callback.
HTTP supports upgrading the connection to a different protocol. An increasingly common example of this is the Web Socket protocol which sends a request like
GET /demo HTTP/1.1
Upgrade: WebSocket
Connection: Upgrade
Host: example.com
Origin: http://example.com
WebSocket-Protocol: sample
followed by non-HTTP data.
(See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-75 for more information the Web Socket protocol.)
To support this, the parser will treat this as a normal HTTP message without a body. Issuing both on_headers_complete and on_message_complete callbacks. However http_parser_execute() will stop parsing at the end of the headers and return.
The user is expected to check if parser->upgrade
has been set to 1 after
http_parser_execute()
returns. Non-HTTP data begins at the buffer supplied
offset by the return value of http_parser_execute()
.
During the http_parser_execute()
call, the callbacks set in
http_parser_settings
will be executed. The parser maintains state and
never looks behind, so buffering the data is not necessary. If you need to
save certain data for later usage, you can do that from the callbacks.
There are two types of callbacks:
typedef int (*http_cb) (http_parser*);
Callbacks: on_message_begin, on_headers_complete, on_message_complete.typedef int (*http_data_cb) (http_parser*, const char *at, size_t length);
Callbacks: (requests only) on_uri,
(common) on_header_field, on_header_value, on_body;Callbacks must return 0 on success. Returning a non-zero value indicates error to the parser, making it exit immediately.
In case you parse HTTP message in chunks (i.e. read()
request line
from socket, parse, read half headers, parse, etc) your data callbacks
may be called more than once. Http-parser guarantees that data pointer is only
valid for the lifetime of callback. You can also read()
into a heap allocated
buffer to avoid copying memory around if this fits your application.
Reading headers may be a tricky task if you read/parse headers partially. Basically, you need to remember whether last header callback was field or value and apply following logic:
(on_header_field and on_header_value shortened to on_h_*)
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| State (prev. callback) | Callback | Description/action |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| nothing (first call) | on_h_field | Allocate new buffer and copy callback data |
| | | into it |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| value | on_h_field | New header started. |
| | | Copy current name,value buffers to headers |
| | | list and allocate new buffer for new name |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| field | on_h_field | Previous name continues. Reallocate name |
| | | buffer and append callback data to it |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| field | on_h_value | Value for current header started. Allocate |
| | | new buffer and copy callback data to it |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------
| value | on_h_value | Value continues. Reallocate value buffer |
| | | and append callback data to it |
------------------------ ------------ --------------------------------------------


Fantastic first day at Evolution. Spent the morning in the SSB Sympossium organized by Jeremy Brown, “Predictive approaches for assessing the fit of evolutionary models”. Really covered both methods assessing model fit (posterior predictive simulations) and approximate likelihood approaches, which are also simulation-based. Then the afternoon in the second SSB Symposium on emerging methods for comparative phylogenetics, organized by Liam Revell and Cecile Ane, which included my talk. Lots of great talks, but Cecile’s was perhaps the most striking results I saw presented all day.

Overview
The conventional servo writing methods have some disadvantages. They need expensive external devices for positioning of the write head to write the servo patterns and require clean room environment not to contaminate the disk drive interior. Furthermore, frequent calibrations may be required. They face increasingly difficult challenges as the move towards ever increasing Track Per Inch (TPI) continues in the industry. These challenges come from different factors. Firstly, conventional servo writing requires several revolutions of the spindle to create one servo track. Therefore, the total time required to servo write an HDD increases proportionately with increasing number of tracks per surface. Because of this decrease in the throughput of servo writing, more servo writers are required to meet the production target. This in turn, requires more floor space in clean room. Secondly, for drives of smaller form factors, the jigs and fixtures for servo writing become smaller. It is challenging to design the pushpin mechanism that is small and yet sufficiently stiff.
The demand for higher throughput without increasing the production cost and process time was primary motivation for developing an alternative method of writing servo patterns called Self ServoWriting (SSW) which can be performed in an area outside expensive clean room as this method does not require any opening on the HDD's enclosure. SSW has been attractive in HDD industries because it not only potentially saves in the cost and time of mass manufacturing, but also effectively maintains the servo writing quality. SSW regenerates timing (tangential) and position (radial) information from the previously written track using the existing GMR head of the HDD itself. Hence, the external servo writers are no longer needed and servo writing does not have to be processed in the clean-room environment.
The servo system in SSW involves two control loops: position control loop timing control loop. In the position control loop, a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) is controlled to maintain the heads over the target track centerline during the reading and writing operations. And in the timing control loop, a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is generally used to generate the servo writing clock signal. Therefore, there are two critical control objectives in SSW process with desired accuracy:
1. All the servo tracks must be perfectly concentric. If not so, the data tracks will be squeezed, resulting in loss of off-track read margin or AC track squeeze. In the position control loop,the position of the write head with respect to the track centerline is controlled by controlling the VCM. Any disturbance and eccentricity present during this process will appear as written-in Repeatable Run-Out (RRO) for the head positioning servomechanism of HDD. This written-in RRO increases TMR that must be compensated for by the servomechanism of an operational HDD. Naturally, the requirements on the accuracy in positioning the write head is more stringent in SSW than in HDD servo system.
2. The servo sectors of any track must be written perfectly radially aligned (radially coherent) with those in the adjacent tracks. If not so, reading of servo data will be degraded or corrupted. In the SSW process, this is done by controlling a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) to generate the clock signal to write the timing marks in the servo patterns. The misalignment between the written timing marks and the desired timing marks can be measured by timing jitter. Excessive timing jitter causes distortion in read back signal and warping of the servo sectors.

I want to BE a computer.
What is computer architecture?
Android-schmandroid.
Nah. I'm not that bougie.
Let the sales guys figure out the marketing. I just want to code.
If it isn't on the internet, does it really matter?
THIS is why I got into coding.
I'd rather make websites about cats wearing clothes.
I'm already prepping for my next fantasy draft!
Sportsball? I think not.
Also Spanish. It's always good to know Spanish.

Newer Fuad
I decided it's high time for me to refresh my website. True, I have been working on my base of the last 3 years on and off, which did prove fruitful in the end as I managed to lead entirely from scratch an entire, private base, fully backed up and interconnected with a wide variety of services. Fuad hub if you may call it. But in the end this is not a proper portfolio piece that I could showcase to potential employers, so if I'm looking forward to getting myself employed, I needed to show something just better, clearer, sharply decisive and precisely creative (?). That defines what my current design guidelines and what I know and can do, encapsuled in one.
And so based on my previous experience with some libraries and some that I just learned quite recently, I decided to utilize what I have managed to achieve on my private playground and create a clean, innovative and fun to interact with carte blanche. I managed to achieve in 90% what I intended, as the portfolio pieces were supposed to redirect to specific overviews of my work, such as graphic design, ux, hci... etc. But I guess what I managed to create is even better now as it showcases concrete examples of my work.
I decided to make sure that anyone could still navigate through this website, so I introduced a number of fluid-like features. Even if you don't do anything, it will proceed to next slides. Progressive features include hovering and I made use of a variety of metaphors to make sure the user does know what to do and investigate specific elements of the page. I decided to make sure the user does not get overloaded in the process, therefore there are exactly the right amount of elements, so that in merely 3 minutes anyone can get to know me.
Now the funny thing, I managed to create this project in 2 days with an extra day spent on fixing small issues and optimising performance. I might clean the code later on to make sure anyone who inspects the code will actually be willing to take me onboard as a junior or graduate :P
Also, I have tested it on a: PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone and Smartwatch. It works well or very well on every single one. Although, the library has some performance-related issues on Edge browser.
Older Fuad
I feel to explain this website I would have to create an entire thesis. It's not that I'm not willing to do this, the issue is how to do it well, as I don't even have a clear idea of how exactly my process looked like. But I guess I can say a few plain words on what motivated me to create this.
And the motivation was very simple. Depressed by the overwhelming success of me getting into a Master program at an exchange university during my Bachelor course and the knowledge of me not knowing jack about what I was doing but still dedicated to making sure I can actually be ablebodied to design and develop, I decided to complement all of my previous work and host it entirely in one portal, so I could have a good idea of what I can and cannot do.
At first, the website did start being created in pain. It took an entire month for me driven in parallel with tough courses at LMU for me to create a pure base with additional subpages. I ran into so many issues along the way that it wasn't until I came back to Australia, when I managed to get most of my work online but the entire thing remained an averagely digestive mess. However, with coming months I did get ahold of more resources and knowledge, as of how easy it is to modify the rendering of simple markups. And considering I was relatively consistent with my html, I could easily implement globally features that managed to introduce a whole bit of life, as I would put into words. Animations, 3D effects and more. It's not all there yet but I managed to craft a variety and showcase all here, reference whomever I needed to and just play around, as if it's my own sandbox.
I plan on introducing a bit more fun in the coming months with javascript and additional js libraries and it's just extremely satisfying to watch how your vision comes into reality.
But in the meantime you may inspect, literally almost every single project I have ever been involved in, in life.

For the Design Experiments course in my Masters program at Stanford, my teammate and I were tasked with designing and conducting an experiment with human subjects. Building up on our shared interests in digital privacy, we decided to explore the following research question
How does awareness of one’s online footprint affect how one manages their online privacy?
Based on extensive background research that we conducted on how people perceive privacy in real life, we learnt about the “privacy paradox” - the inconsistency that people show between their concerns about privacy versus their actual online behaviour. One probable reason why people demonstrate such marked difference between their beliefs and actions on online privacy is that contrary to privacy in the physical world, it is difficult to perceive the repercussions of online privacy. We therefore hypothesized that by showing people their online footprints, we could change their attitudes towards online privacy.
The Refined Research Question and Hypothesis
To ensure that the experiment could be conducted within the duration of the 10 weeks of the class, we decided to focus on Facebook and refined our research questions as follows:
How does the wording of Facebook account settings affect online privacy choice, trust in Facebook, and views on online privacy?
We hypothesized that if people were shown how specific Facebook settings could affect their online footprints, then, that would change their opinions about online privacy, which in turn would make them choose more “guarded” settings on how their information and data would be shared on the platform. We also hypothesized that this would make people trust Facebook more.
The Process
To refine our research question, we used the 5 Why’s Worksheet. It helped us in improving the research question by forcing us to think deeply about the importance of the question and how it could help in improving perceptions towards online privacy.
We also used a Communications Message Triangle to formulate the messaging for our research. The triangle had the following three key proof points that supported the key message of our research:
- Experimental Evidence - How our planned experiment would support the key message
- Literature Review - Evidence from similar research that supports our key message
- Anecdotal Evidence - Examples from real-life that add some context to the key message
All three key proof points had a deflector and a transition. The deflector was a question that could be raised against any of the key points, while the transition was the response to the deflector.
By using the Message Triangle, we were able to further refine our research question and structure how the findings of our research could be shared with the general public.
The Study Outline
30 subjects were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turks(MTurk). The subjects were pre-screened to select only those subjects who were Facebook account holders, were over 18 years of age and resided in the United States.
The subjects in both groups were told to imagine that they were creating a new Facebook account for themselves, and to choose their preferred account settings from a list of options presented to them. For subjects in the control group, the privacy settings shows were exactly similar to how Facebook currently displays them. For subjects in the experimental group, each privacy setting was accompanied with a short description of what type of user data would be accessible to different users online. The privacy settings selected by subjects in both groups was recorded. Following the activity, subjects were asked some questions to ascertain how likely they were to trust Facebook in terms of protecting their personal data.

The Results
The options to the privacy questions were coded on a scale of 1-5, with 1 representing the least “restrictive” privacy settings and 5 representing the most “restrictive” privacy settings. The options were coded as follows:
- Public - 1
- Friends of Friends - 2
- Friends - 3
- Specific Friends - 4
- Only Me - 5
We used ANOVA and the Welch’s T Two Sample Test to determine whether there was any statistical difference between the privacy settings chosen by the control and the experimental group.
Based on our analysis, we found no difference between the settings chosen by subjects in the two groups.
Conclusion
Making people aware about the importance of online privacy is very challenging. It is made even more difficult by the fact that it is not easy for people to perceive how their online information or data might be used in ways that they might not agree with. Our experiment showed us that merely changing the wording of settings will not make people more careful about how they share information on Facebook, and by extension, on the internet. The problem is made worse by the fact that social media platforms and apps have notoriously complicated settings, and it is difficult for the average user to dictate the terms by which their data is shared online. Ultimately, however, given how the line between our digital and physical selves is being blurred, it is crucial that there is more awareness on online privacy amongst the general public.
