Abstract:
Provided is a compaction package that includes a flexible film portion and a heat shrink film portion coupled to part of the flexible film portion. The compaction package has a bottom, a sidewall, and an open top that together define a hollow interior space adapted to receive and contain a granular material. In a first configuration prior to exposure to a heat source sufficient to raise the temperature of the compaction package to a certain critical heat shrink temperature, the interior space of the compaction package has a first volume. In a second configuration after exposure to the heat source, the interior space of the compaction package has a second volume that is less than the first volume.
Abstract:
A major problem in Lead Overlay design for GMR structures is that the magnetic read track width is wider than the physical read track width. This is due to high interfacial resistance between the leads and the GMR layer which is an unavoidable side effect of prior art methods. The present invention uses electroplating preceded by a wet etch to fabricate the leads. This approach requires only a thin protection layer over the GMR layer to ensure that interface resistance is minimal. Using wet surface cleaning avoids sputtering defects and plating is compatible with this so the cleaned surface is preserved Only a single lithography step is needed to define the track since there is no re-deposition involved.
Abstract:
A method for forming a plated magnetic thin film of high saturation magnetization and low coercivity having the general form Co100−a−bFeaMb, where M can be Mo, Cr, W, Ni or Rh, which is suitable for use in magnetic recording heads that write on narrow trackwidth, high coercivity media. The plating method includes four current application processes: direct current, pulsed current, pulse reversed current and conditioned pulse reversed current.
Abstract:
An ear thermometer probe structure comprises a shell body. A hollow thermal absorption component is disposed in the shell body, and contacts several positioning points one the inner wall of the shell body. An air gap is formed at the part of the thermal absorption component not contacting the shell body. A wave guide is disposed in the thermal absorption component. The rear section of the wave guide tightly contacts the thermal absorption component, and the front section thereof is separated from the shell body by an air gap. A filter is disposed at the front end of the wave guide to let infrared rays be transmitted. An annular sealing pad is located between the filter and the top of the shell body. A sensor is disposed behind the wave guide and fixed on the thermal absorption component. The sensor is separated from the thermal absorption component and the wave guide by an annular air room.
Abstract:
A method of forming small dimension wires by an isotropic removal process. The method provides a substrate with an insulation layer. A first conductive layer and a second conductive layer are formed on the insulation layer. A wire pattern is formed on a photoresist layer after the coating process and the sequential exposure and development process. Part of the second conductive layer is removed by using the wire pattern on the photoresist layer as a mask, and thus part of the second conductive layer with wires is remained. Isotropic etching the peripheral part of the second conductive layer and thus the part of wire pattern with a smaller dimension is remained. Using the wire pattern with a smaller dimension as a mask to anisotropic etch the first conductive layer until the surface of the insulation layer is exposed, and thus the process of fabricating small dimension is finished.
