Abstract: A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write pole with a concave trailing edge. The magnetic write pole can have a trapezoidal shape with first and second laterally opposed sides that are further apart at the trailing edge than at the leading edge. The write head may or may not include a magnetic trailing shield, and if a trailing shield is included it is separated from the trailing edge by a non-magnetic write gap layer. The concave trailing edge improves magnetic performance such as by improving the transition curvature. A method for constructing the write head includes forming a magnetic write pole by forming a mask structure over a deposited write pole material, the mask structure having an alumina hard mask and an image transfer layer such as DURAMIDE®. An alumina fill layer is then deposited and a chemical mechanical polish is performed to open up the image transfer layer. A reactive on etch is performed to remove the image transfer layer and a reactive ion mill or reactive ion etch is performed to remove the alumina hard mask and form a concave surface on the write pole.

Abstract: Sensors, including fiber optic sensors and their umbilicals, are mounted on support structures designed to be retro-fitted to in-place structures, including subsea structures. The sensor support structures are designed to monitor structure conditions, including strain, temperature, and in the instance of pipelines, the existence of production slugs. Moreover the support structures are designed for installation in harsh environments, such as deep water conditions using remotely operated vehicles.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supplying an inert compound into the head space of a container. The apparatus has a delivery path which is made up of an inlet which receives a mixture of gaseous phase and solid phase inert compound, an outlet and a tortuous section. The tortuous section is located between the inlet and the outlet, and is situated so as to reduce the velocity of the solid phase inert compound as it passes through. The inert compound can then be delivered into the head space of a container at a lower velocity which increases the efficiency of the inert gas in displacing any air present.

Abstract: An improved damascene method of forming a write coil of a magnetic head includes forming a hard mask layer over an insulator layer; forming a photoresist layer over the hard mask layer; performing an image patterning process to produce a write coil pattern in the photoresist layer; etching to remove portions of the hard mask layer in accordance with the write coil pattern; etching to remove portions of the insulator layer in accordance with the write coil pattern; etching to remove the remaining portion of the etched hard mask layer; electroplating a material comprising copper (Cu) within the etched portion of the insulator material; and performing a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process over the resulting structure. By removing the remainder of the hard mask material before the CMP, the quality of the CMP is improved. Although any suitable hard mask material may be utilized, if the insulator layer is a hard-baked resist then Ta2O5 having a relatively high selectivity, low brittleness, and improved adhesion is preferred as the hard mask material.
