Actuator Arm Design For Reducing Power Consumption In A Disk Drive Data Storage Device

View page
US Patent:
6950286, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
Aug 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/943246
Inventors:
Duane Q. Huynh - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V. - Amsterdam
International Classification:
G11B021/04
US Classification:
3602659
Abstract:
A hard disk drive utilizes an actuator arm design that significantly reduces air flow drag within the drive. The leading and trailing edges of the arm are shaped to reduce their coefficient of air flow drag in order to reduce the running current and seeking current of the disk drive during operation. As a result, the disk drive consumes less power and, thus, produces less heat which must be dissipated. The spindle motor design is reconfigured at a lower torque constant, thereby lowering the overall cost of the device.

US Patent:
7414813, Aug 19, 2008
Filed:
Jun 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/603419
Inventors:
Duane Q. Huynh - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V. - Amsterdam
International Classification:
G11B 5/55
US Classification:
3602642
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for damping vibration in a flexible cable for use in a magnetic disk drive apparatus. The vibration damping mitigates resonant oscillation of the flexible cable which would otherwise cause tracking errors by forcing the actuator of the away from the desired data track on a magnetic disk. A layer vibration damping material and one or more electrical leads are enclosed within a surrounding electrical insulator, the damping material being completely enclosed, while the leads have selected portions exposed to allow electrical connection devices.

Head Restraint Device For Disk Drive

View page
US Patent:
60287454, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:
Oct 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/944873
Inventors:
Tu Nguyen - San Jose CA
Duane Huynh - San Jose CA
Tho Pham - Milpitas CA
Assignee:
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
International Classification:
G11B 2122
G11B 554
US Classification:
360105
Abstract:
A head restraint that prevents head slapping within a hard disk drive. The disk drive includes a disk that is rotated by a spindle motor. The drive also has a magnetic recording head that is mounted to a flexure arm and magnetically coupled to the disk. The head restraint includes a finger that is moved from an unrestrained position to a restrained position to engage the flexure arm and prevent the head from moving in a direction essentially perpendicular to the disk.
