A suspension assembly for a hard disk drive includes at least two spring extensions that couple to a proximal portion of a load beam. These spring extensions are disposed by a vertical offset and couple to the load beam on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the load beam. The method for operating a disk drive apparatus includes following by a suspension assembly from a reference position to a second position a vertical movement of a rotating disk. The suspension assembly is predisposed to move from the reference position to the second position by the vertical offset. A read/write head coupled to the suspension assembly is in closer alignment to a selected track during the vertical movement in the second position than if the first and second spring extensions were disposed to be co-planar.

A wired circuit board has a metal supporting board, an insulating layer formed on the metal supporting board, a conductive pattern formed on the insulating layer and having a pair of wires arranged in spaced-apart relation, and a semiconductive layer formed on the insulating layer and electrically connected to the metal supporting board and the conductive pattern. The conductive pattern has a first region in which a distance between the pair of wires is small and a second region in which the distance between the pair of wires is larger than that in the first region. The semiconductive layer is provided in the second region.

A structure for a load beam used in hard disk drive devices includes an asymmetric structure. The load beam exhibits longitudinal asymmetry (i.e., is asymmetric along its long axis) in regard to the weight distribution, but has a center of mass that lies along its longitudinal axis due to the provisioning of counterbalancing features, such as the addition of material, the removal of material, or a combination of adding material and removing material, or the use of an asymmetrical damping layer.

Techniques for preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) and circuit noise are provided. More particularly, the present invention provides a method to prevent ESD damage during the assembly of computer disk commonly called a hard disk for memory applications. The coating mainly involves a ion-deposition process. Merely by way of example, the present invention is implemented by using filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) with a dissipative crystalline and/or amorphous carbon base thin film coating on a flexible circuit to drain the potential electrostatic charges during circuit assembly and interconnect processes, yet it would be recognized that the invention has a much broader range of applicability on any electronic apparatus that is susceptible to electrostatic damage and static noise.

Techniques for reading and writing information onto a hard disk drive are provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a suspension assembly for a hard disk drive includes a load beam having a mounting region, a first spring extension on a first side of the load beam, and a rigid region. The suspension assembly also includes a hinge member having a second spring extension coupling the rigid region and the mounting region on a second side of the load beam. First and second spacers are disposed between the hinge member and the mounting region of the load beam and between the hinge member and the rigid region of the load beam, respectively. A vertical offset between the first and second spring extensions predisposes the rigid region to move from a first position to a second position in response to a disk flutter.

An optical measurement device and method of use provides non-invasive physiological measurements from a predetermined location on a body part of a user. The optical measurement device provides an illumination and detection assembly configured to generate and detect light of a predetermined wavelength range in the form of a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, as well as a pressure detection assembly configured to detect an amount of pressure applied to the measurement device by the user being measured. A feedback unit, such as a portable display device, provides the user real-time feedback of the detected PPG signal and level of applied pressure so that the user may adjust the amount of applied pressure to improve the quality of the detected PPG signal.
