摘要:
A method and its implementation as a program system are disclosed herein for generating an air flow report based upon a cellular model of the air flow of a hard disk drive including a parameterized component approximated by a component parameter list and a map of the partitioned regions of the hard disk drive. The air flow report is generated based upon the cellular model and a partition/region map. The partition/region map lumps the simulation domain into a small number of regions and then calculates the fluxes across boundaries of the regions. These fluxes accumulate the results of many individual cells, averaging out small variations caused by rounding and/or the convergence properties of the specific cellular approach used. A simulation figure of merit is calculated from the air flow report that further refines the accuracy, effectively removing even more noise.

Head gimbal assembly (HGA) may include a piezo layer mechanically coupled with the slider or include a piezo element mechanically coupled by the flexure to the slider top near the read-write head. A bridge flex circuit is included, providing a piezo-control bundle to at least one piezo layer lead. A flex circuit assembly may further provide a piezo control bundle, shared with piezo control bundles for multiple read-write heads. HGA may include a micro-actuator to position read-write head near track on accessed, rotating disk surface. Flex circuit assembly may provide a source control bundle, shared with the micro-actuator control bundles for multiple read-write heads. When accessing, all micro-actuators perform same positioning action, insuring proper positioning of read-write head. This applies to both co-located and non co-located micro-actuators. Wire bundles may include one or two active signal wires. Voice coil actuators and hard disk drives, and their manufacture, are included.

The invention includes a D33 mode piezoelectric actuator region, including electrodes of differing length to produce a bending motion. The invention also includes a piezoelectric actuator containing a first piezoelectric actuator region coupled to a second piezoelectric actuator region, which may be separated by the ceramic material. Applying a first potential difference between electrodes generates a first bending of the piezoelectric actuator region. Applying the negative first potential difference generates the complement first bending for the piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator region may be used to radially move a coupled transducer by the first bending. The piezoelectric actuator may be used to radially move a coupled transducer by the first bending and/or its complement. The invention includes the methods of making the piezoelectric actuator region and the piezoelectric actuator, and their products.

A hard disk drive with a disk base including a disk wall with a first intake, a second intake off of the first intake, an outlet and an air filter configured to receive a first airflow from the first intake and suction from a second airflow from the second intake creating negative pressure at a trapping surface of the air filter away from the outlet. At least one disk rotates to create a rotating disk surface generating airflow configured to enter the first intake to create the first airflow. A disk damper includes an enclosing wall neighboring the air filter to create a flow chamber providing a third airflow through the outlet formed of the first air flow crossing the trapping surface and the second air flow. A disk cover mounts on the disk base to encapsulate the air chamber. The disk base and disk damper are disclosed.
