The system further includes a cooling structure for cooling the processor. The cooling structure consists of: a compressible backing; a plurality of rigid copper elements disposed between the backing and the processor; a first conformable heat-conducting layer disposed over the processor; a second conformable heat-conducting layer disposed between the compressible backing and the rigid elements; a liquid coolant; and a seal for containing the liquid coolant.
Abstract:
A structure for cooling an electronic device is disclosed. The structure includes a solid heat-conducting layer disposed over the electronic device. The solid heat-conducting layer is a planar surface in contact with the electronic device. The structure further includes a plurality of copper spring elements disposed between the solid heat-conducting layer and the electronic device for providing a heat path from the electronic device and wherein the plurality of spring elements extend in an upper direction away from the electronic device and wherein the plurality of spring elements include a spring for offering resistance when loaded and wherein the spring elements have a smaller profile at a first end in contact with the electronic device, wherein the profile increases in size at a second end in contact with the solid heat-conducting layer.

Abstract:
A method for writing tracks on a rotating disk media data storage device comprising the steps of: receiving a set of component parameters; and adjusting track pitch for each of the tracks to be written in each disk according to the component parameters. According to another embodiment a disk drive includes at least one disk comprising a two or more of tracks in which the track pitch between each pair of adjacent tracks is set based on component parameters such as the recording head widths. According to another embodiment a servowriter is adapted to perform the method discussed above.
Abstract:
A method for writing timing marks on a rotatable storage medium, such as on a disk in a disk drive, includes the steps of: 1) during a rotation of the disk, detecting the passage of at least a portion of a first timing mark located at a radial trajectory at a first radius of the disk, and 2) during the same rotation of the disk, writing a second timing mark at a second radius of the disk. The second timing mark is located at least one of a) where at least a portion of the second timing mark overlaps at least a portion of the radial trajectory of the first timing mark, and b) where the second timing mark is in close proximity to the radial trajectory of the first timing mark. The second timing mark is written based on different parameters such as a measured time interval, a calculated time interval, and a predetermined delay.
Abstract:
A mechanism for servowriting on a storage medium of a storage device. The storage device has a transducer and a servo loop for positioning the transducer with respect to the storage medium. At least one transition is written on a track of the storage medium, while servoing on other transitions previously recorded on the storage medium. A reference waveform is derived as a function of a closed loop response of the servo loop and a position error waveform. The position error waveform corresponds to one or more position errors of the transducer relative to the previously recorded transitions. The reference waveform is usable in writing subsequent tracks on the storage medium. Using the reference waveform for writing subsequent tracks provides a substantial rejection of mechanical disturbances by the servo loop.
Abstract:
A thin film magnetic head, having a predetermined cut-off frequency is constructed of alternating first and second layers, the first layers include a magnetic material and the second layers include a resistive material. The resistivity of the second layers is chosen so that the head's cut-off frequency exceeds the head's required frequency response. The resistivity of the second layers is chosen to be considerably less than any level of resistivity which falls within the insulation regime.
