摘要:
A head slider that includes a substrate having a leading surface, a trailing surface, first and second side edges, a back surface and a disc-facing surface opposite the back surface is provided. The disc-facing surface includes a bearing plane and a recessed area recessed from the bearing plane. An end layer is attached to the trailing surface of the substrate. The end layer includes a bearing pad formed substantially solely on the end layer that is generally parallel to the bearing plane. The bearing pad is positioned adjacent to and rearward of the recessed area to receive fluid flow from the recessed area.

A head slider is provided that includes a slider body having leading and trailing slider edges and first and second side edges. The body further includes an air bearing surface generally disposed within a bearing surface plane. A raised portion is positioned on the bearing surface plane and spaced apart from the leading edge. Also, a comb structure is provided having a plurality of raised protrusions positioned proximate and substantially parallel to the leading edge of the slider, wherein the plurality of raised protrusions form gaps throughout the leading edge.

A technique for providing electric power to an electric power utility grid includes driving an electric power alternator coupled to the grid with a spark-ignited or direct injection internal combustion engine; detecting a change in electrical loading of the alternator; in response to the change, adjusting parameters of the engine and/or generator to adjust power provided by the engine. In one further forms of this technique, the adjusting of parameters for the engine includes retarding spark timing and/or interrupting the spark ignition; reducing or retarding direct injection timing or fuel amount and/or interrupting the direct injection; and/or the adjusting of parameters for the generator including increasing the field of the alternator or adding an electrical load.

A composite head-electrical conditioner assembly that includes a slider with a transducer head and transducer bond pads. The transducer bond pads communicate a transducer level electrical signal with the transducer head. An integrated circuit substrate has a conditioning circuit and first substrate bond pads electrically connected to the transducer bond pads. The integrated circuit substrate has second substrate bond pads with a conditioned electrical signal that is transmittable over a circuit. The slider is rigidly mounted to the integrated circuit substrate to form an assembly that is flexibly mountable. A thermal isolation space is provided between the transducer and the conditioning circuit. The integrated circuit can be in the form of a cap that provides windage reduction.

To reduce thermal pole-tip protrusion and recession, a magnetic head includes a multi-material basecoat. The magnetic head has an air bearing surface and a back surface opposite the air bearing surface. The magnetic head includes a substrate and the basecoat positioned upon the substrate. The basecoat has a first portion and a second portion wherein a Young's modulus of the first portion is less than a Young's modulus of the second portion. A data transducer is positioned upon the basecoat adjacent the air bearing surface.

A compressor and heat pump combination has an active chamber and a passive chamber, each with its own hot plate and cold plate. The two chambers are joined along an edge by a membrane that largely transmits pressure, largely insulates against temperature transfer, and prevents passage of gases from one chamber to the other. The gas in the active chamber is alternately cooled and heated by exposure to the active cold and active hot plates, causing pressure changes in the active chamber that are transmitted to the passive chamber by the membrane. The pressure changes alternately cool the gas in the passive chamber below the temperature of the passive cold plate, and heat the gas in the passive chamber above the temperature of the passive hot plate. In alternately exposing the cooled gas in the passive chamber to the passive cold plate, and the heated gas in the passive chamber to the passive hot plate, heat is forced to flow from the passive cold plate to the passive hot plate. Other thermodynamic apparatus including stand alone compressors and heat pumps are described.

One embodiment of the present invention pertains to a slider that includes a substrate, a transducer tip disposed on the substrate, and a hydrodynamic surface including a responsive aeroelastic deposit. The substrate has a first coefficient of expansion responsive to a stimulus. The transducer tip has having a second coefficient of expansion responsive to the stimulus that is greater than the first coefficient of expansion. The aeroelastic deposit has a third coefficient of expansion responsive to the stimulus that is greater than the first coefficient of expansion. The responsive aeroelastic deposit allows the slider to alter its flight characteristics responsively and elastically to changing operating conditions.
摘要:
A head for a disc drive and a method of making the head. The head includes a substrate with a trailing side and a first air bearing surface that generates lift. A magnetic transducer is deposited along the trailing side and has a pole tip that is spaced apart from a disc by a pole-to-disc spacing. The head also includes a deposit along the trailing side. The deposit includes a second air bearing surface that changes position relative to the first air bearing surface as temperature increases.

A slider for a data storage device is disclosed. The slider includes a bearing pad or surface having a raised bearing surface, a stepped bearing surface and a recessed pressure cavity or cavities. The recessed pressure cavity or cavities provides a reduced raised bearing surface area to reduce stiction and shape sensitivity. The recessed pressure cavity or cavities include a recessed cavity surface which is recessed from the raised bearing surface of the bearing surface or pad and a cavity step to the raised bearing surface.
