A movable platform is mounted on opposing guide rails within a disk drive. A head actuator and spindle motor are mounted on the movable platform. The platform moves on the guide rails from a forward position to a rearward position upon insertion of a disk cartridge into the disk drive. As the platform moves toward the rearward position, the elevation of the platform changes in order to bring the spindle motor into engagement with the hub of the disk cartridge. A latch member is pivotally mounted on one of the guide rails for latching the platform in its forward position when the disk drive is not in use.

A data storage device comprises a cartridge receiving stop having a middle surface and angled outer edges for inhibiting the insertion of incompatible disk cartridges into the data storage device. A disk cartridge adapted for use in the data storage device has opposite front corners. The opposite front corners of the disk cartridge have a non-square shape adapted to avoid interference with the angled outer edges of the cartridge receiving stop. The data storage device may further comprise means for enabling a function of the data storage device upon insertion of a disk cartridge having non-square front corners into the disk drive. The disk cartridge may further comprise a projection positioned on the front peripheral edge of the disk cartridge and adapted to engage an operating member of the enabling means on the middle surface of the cartridge receiving stop.

A mine elevator is provided having an anti-explosion traction system, an anti-explosion lift car protection system, a flexible guide rail guiding system, a compound lift car, and a counterweight system. The anti-explosion traction system comprises a traction rope tension regulating device, an anti-explosion traction machine, and an anti-explosion control cabinet. The anti-explosion lift car protection system comprises a rope holder, a speed limiter, two hydraulic buffers, a safety clamp, a brake rope, and a brake rope tension buffer device. The flexible guide rail guiding system comprises a steel wire rope guide rail, a guide rail tension device connected to the steel wire rope guide rail and fixed to the an upper platform, a guide rail connection device connected to the steel wire rope guide rail and fixed to a lower platform, and a flexible guide rail guide sleeve fixed to the compound lift car and the counterweight system.

A method of detecting a change in fly-height comprising measuring a first baseline position error signal (PES) at a first diameter on a disk, measuring a second baseline PES at a second diameter, measuring a first transient PES at the first diameter subsequently to the first baseline PES, measuring a second transient PES at the second diameter subsequently to the second baseline PES, determining a first change in PES by comparing the first transient PES to the first baseline PES, determining a second change in PES by comparing the second transient PES to the second baseline PES, performing responsive action when one of the first change in PES exceeds a first threshold and the second change in PES exceeds a second threshold, and generating a general error condition when both the first change in PES and the second change in PES exceed respective thresholds.

An information storage system has structure with a head that can effect information transfers with respect to a storage medium. According to one feature, a control portion monitors a characteristic of information read from the storage medium, and can take action to reduce the likelihood of non-recoverable errors based on the characteristic. According to a different feature, the control portion moves the head to a position adjacent a portion of a surface on the storage medium, waits while moving the head relative to the surface, and then moves the head to another position adjacent a different portion of the surface. According to another feature, the control portion calculates a distance of the head from the surface based on information read from the surface, and determines based on this distance whether the head or the storage medium may fail to satisfy a criteria.

Removable cartridges employ a labyrinth-type seal design which features multiple seals for a very effective barrier to outside contaminants. The sealing mechanism of the cartridge is specifically designed so moisture and other contaminants are blocked from entering the cartridge, resulting in high resistance to corrosion and guarding against the potentially adverse effects of air borne particulate and infiltration of detrimental external gasses. Because no seal is perfect, the cartridge incorporates a charcoal desiccant inside each cartridge to provide additional protection from moisture, corrosion and out-gassing. The disk design also includes a robust recirculation filter on each cartridge to filter the air inside the cartridge each time the disk spins, effectively removing any airborne contaminants that make it past the cartridge seal.
摘要:
A disk drive has a rigid head cleaner with a textured surface. The texture lines are primarily orthogonal to the direction of movement of the read/write heads as they move across the head cleaner. The head cleaner may be coated with a diamond-like carbon protective coating or a lubricant. A soft head cleaning element may be placed next to the rigid head cleaner.
