摘要： A method of cutting a pattern in a hollow, tubular workpiece to form a stent or the like involves the use of a novel workpiece fixture. The workpiece fixture is rigidly carried on a laser cutting tool to support a long piece of stock tubing in a cantilever manner beneath the laser beam of the cutting tool. The fixture is spaced from the laser beam by a distance which is in a range of approximately the same as to slightly greater than the length of any axial repeat in the pattern. The laser beam cuts the pattern in the stock tubing piece as the stock tubing is advanced past the laser beam. The cutting takes place in a zone that is close to the end of the fixture and the cantilever support provided thereby.

摘要： Laminate structures for attachment to a head suspension assembly in a hard disk drive. The laminate structures include a spring metal layer, a conductive layer, and an intermediate insulator/adhesive layer. The conductive layer can act as an interconnect assembly, as a gimbal, and as a spring region. The method of manufacture of the laminate structures incorporates manufacture of an interconnect assembly into the manufacture of spring structures such as a load beam or a gimbal. The laminate structures are manufactured by etching the layers from the outside in, using other layers as etching masks. Unique configurations are possible where either or both metal layers can be discontinuous, thanks to the manufacturing support of the second layer. The second layer can also be shaped into a plurality of panels, thus freeing the metal layers to act as the spring elements.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a head suspension including separately manufacturing a load beam and a set of traces. The traces are formed from a sheet of conductive material and include an elongated conductor portion and a gimbal portion. Portions of the traces which are configured to be mounted to the load beam are coated with dielectric before being mounted to the load beam. The gimbal portion of the traces provides both mechanical and electrical connections to the conductor portion.

摘要： A head suspension assembly for positioning a head assembly at the correct static attitude with respect to the surface of a rotatable data storage device. The head assembly includes a gimbal assembly having a novel static attitude adjustment feature comprising a solid drop of material. The solid drop of material is dispensed as a fluid on the desired location and then cured to solid form. The solidified drop of material can be used to create surface features on head suspension assemblies for correcting pitch and roll static attitude errors and for applying gram loads on the head assembly.
