Seagate Assigned Patent

Seagate Technology LLC, Fremont, CA, has been assigned a patent (11580413) developed by Erden, Mehmet Fatih, St. Louis Park, MN, for “recovering timing information from DNA encoded data.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods for timing recovery in DNA storage systems is described. In one embodiment, the present systems and methods include generating a unique pattern of DNA bases and use the unique pattern for a phase-locked loop (PLL) field of a data layout, generating a multidimensional mapping, configuring the multidimensional mapping to include one or more prohibited sequences of DNA bases, identifying a prohibited sequence from the multidimensional mapping and use the prohibited sequence for one or more synch-mark (SM) fields of the data layout, prohibiting a User Data field from using any of the prohibited sequences of DNA bases when converting binary data to DNA bases, identifying random insertion and/or deletion of DNA bases in the User Data field, and repairing the random insertion and/or deletion of DNA bases in the User Data field.”

The patent application was filed on 2018-08-30 (16/117432).
