US Patent:
6947242, Sep 20, 2005
Filed:
Apr 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/123719
Inventors:
Hong S. Seing - San Jose CA, US
Bob C. Robinson - Hollister CA, US
Ullal Vasant Nayak - San Jose CA, US
Carl Robert Mendel - Santa Clara CA, US
Wesley LeRoy Hillman - Morgan Hill CA, US

Assignee:
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V. - Amsterdam
International Classification:
G11B021/02
US Classification:
360 75, 360 25, 324210
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for dynamic fly height and roll adjustment of a physical asperity sensor (PAS) head. The PAS head is used to test disk asperity heights and mechanical interference (commonly known as glide height and take off height). The PAS may be adjusted through a pivoting device such as a joystick coupled through one or more actuators to the pivoting device by actuator arms. In one embodiment, the actuator is a piezoelectric motor. The PAS head may utilize a detector to indicate the distance of the disk asperity from the PAS head. The method comprises receiving the signal and in response, operating the actuators to adjust the position of the pivoting device to obtain a selected positioning of either the fly height or the roll of the PAS.

International Classification:
B44C 1/22
US Classification:
216 22
Abstract:
A slider assembly is provided comprising a plurality of sliders bonded by a debondable solid encapsulant. The solid encapsulant is comprised of a polymer prepared by polymerizing a mixture of first and second monomers in a nonstoichiometric ratio effective to render the encapsulant debondable. Each slider has a surface that is free from the encapsulant. The encapsulant-free surfaces are coplanar to each other. Also provided are methods for forming the assembly and methods for patterning a slider surface using the encapsulant.

Assignee:
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V. - Amsterdam
International Classification:
B32B 37/00
G11B 5/127
US Classification:
156247, 2960307, 2960312, 360230, 3602343, 3602354, 438689
Abstract:
A process for fabricating sliders where the sliders are held in place during processing by a solid matrix material is described. A thin coating of a release-layer material is applied on the sliders before encapsulation in the matrix material. The release-layer material is polyvinyl alcohol and more preferably high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol which is highly hydrolyzed. Use of the release-layer of the invention maintains the process resistance while providing the advantage of allowing easier removal of the matrix material after it is no longer needed. The release-layer can be applied to encapsulant materials including epoxies, acrylates, polyimides, silsesquioxanes and others. After the selected fabrication process such as the formation of air-bearing features an appropriate solvent is applied to soften the polyvinyl alcohol film and allow clean debonding of the sliders.

A slider assembly is provided comprising a plurality of sliders bonded by a debondable solid encapsulant comprised of different first and second polymers The solid encapsulant is comprised of a polymer prepared by polymerizing an encapsulant fluid comprising a homogeneous mixture of first and second constituents. The first constituent is comprised of a first monomer suitable for in situ polymerization to form the first polymer. The second constituent is comprised of the second polymer or a second monomer suitable for in situ polymerization to form the second polymer. The first constituent does not substantially react with the second constituent. Each slider has a surface that is free from the encapsulant. The encapsulant-free surfaces are coplanar to each other. Also provided are methods for forming the assembly and methods for patterning a slider surface using the encapsulant.

Transducer Suspension System Having Access Aperture

View page
US Patent:
59699060, Oct 19, 1999
Filed:
Jan 5, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/225746
Inventors:
Satya Prakash Arya - San Jose CA
William W. Brooks - Rochester MN
Wesley L. Hillman - Morgan Hill CA
Tzong-Shii Pan - San Jose CA
John E. Sell - San Jose CA
Victor Wing Chun Shum - San Jose CA
Randall George Simmons - San Jose CA
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 548
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
A transducer suspension system has a transducer head, laminated member, and a load beam. The laminated member is comprised of a support layer, an electrically insulating layer, and an electrically conducting layer. The electrical lines are formed directly into the laminated member. A first end of the support layer has an aperture into which a tongue section protrudes. The transducer head is attached to the tongue section. A platform section is formed between the aperture and the end of the support layer. The electrical lines run to the transducer head along the platform section. The load beam is attached to the laminated member and provides rigid support. The load beam has an aperture located directly above the platform section and provides access to allow clamping of the electrical lines and the platform section during electrical attachment of the lines to the transducer head. Precise electrical attachment is achieved without unwanted bending of the delicate flexure section of the suspension.

Multi-Piece Integrated Suspension Assembly For A Magnetic Storage System

View page
US Patent:
58926372, Apr 6, 1999
Filed:
May 10, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/644878
Inventors:
William Woodrow Brooks - Rochester MN
Wesley LeRoy Hillman - Morgan Hill CA
Darrell Dean Palmer - San Jose CA
Randall George Simmons - San Jose CA
Steven Harry Voss - Rochester MN
Wing Chun Shum - San Jose CA
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 560
G11B 2121
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
An integrated suspension for a slider in a magnetic storage system has a simplified structure that is relatively easy to manufacture. The novel integrated suspension may be assembled from separate pieces, including a load beam, a flexure and a mounting plate. The load beam provides rigid structural support of the flexure. The flexure includes a flexible member and leads integrally formed thereon. A section of the flexible member is fixedly attached to the load member, and another section having the slider mounted thereon presses against a pivot projection in the load beam for gimbal motions. An interlocking structure is provided to limit the extent of gimbal motions of the flexible member, comprising a tab extending from the flexible member into an aperture in the load beam. Alternatively, a tang is formed in the flexible member which is used to form a clip which serves to limit gimbal motions as it interacts with the load beam.
