摘要:
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.
摘要:
A method (and apparatus) for operating a disk drive apparatus. The method includes moving a movable member about a fixed position to move a read/write head coupled to a slider to a selected track on a disk. The selected track is at least one of a plurality of tracks. The method includes adjusting a position of the read/write head using an actuating device integrated on the gimbal. The actuating step moves the read/write head relative in a manner normal to the track on the magnetic disk to align the read/write head on the track using a finer and faster alignment of the read/write head than the moveable support member.

A method is provided for reworking a head gimbal assembly (HGA). An ultrasonic probe is used to stress the connection between the slider component of an HGA to remove the slider from its mounting position.
摘要:
Apparatus and techniques for measuring dimple-gimbal separation force for a suspension assembly in a computer disk, commonly called a hard disk drive (HDD), for understanding the impact on suspension dynamic performance. More particularly, the present invention provides readily procedures and methods for measuring the contact force exert between a gimbal and dimple of a HDD suspension assembly. Merely by way of example, the present invention is implemented using such procedures and methods to directly probe the gimbal-dimple contact force, yet it would be recognized that the invention has a much broader range of applicability on any mechanical apparatus that is small in dimension and structure stiffness, such as, micro actuators and micro electrical and mechanical system (MEMS) devices.

摘要:
A fixed support for voice coil motor comprises a coil, hollow plate, opening, structural reinforcement beam, and a plurality of pins. The pins extruding from the hollow plate allows the coil to wind around them. The opening, which locates on the center of the hollow plate, distributes stress concentration around the center. The structural reinforcement beam, which extrudes from an edge of the hollow plate, improves stiffness of the fixed support, thereby allowing the hollow plate to be made thinner.
