摘要： The invention provides devices, systems, and methods for storing and archiving digital video and other data. A voice coil motor effects release of a removable hard disk cartridge from a disk drive. The voice coil motor is adapted for positioning a data transfer head along a recording surface of a rigid magnetic recording disk, and also moves the data heads from the recording surface to a "park" position away from the recording surface. This allows the disk to spin down within the cartridge while the cartridge is safely restrained inside the disk drive. Once it is safe to remove the cartridge from the drive, the voice coil motor can move beyond the park position to actuate a release linkage. The cartridge is typically expelled from the receiver of the disk drive by biasing springs. Hence, the present invention avoids the necessity to resort to a dedicated electromechanical actuator to expel the digital video cartridge from the disk drive.

摘要： A disk drive has a support structure for maintaining alignment between a removable hard disk cartridge and the disk drive. Particularly, the disk drive and support structure are for use with recording and archiving digital video and other data. The support structure makes use of a series of engagable surfaces on both the cartridge and drive. These fixed surfaces can fully determine the position of the cartridge within the drive so as to avoid interference of the cartridge housing with the rotating disk, movable head support structures, and the like. Preferably, alternative insertion surfaces may be provided on the cartridge and disk drive housings to slidingly engage each other during manual insertion of the cartridge so as to promote normal engagement and disengagement of the spindle drive and disk hub structures.

摘要： A method for positioning a magneto-resistive head onto an head load/unload ramp of a storage unit, the magneto-resistive head disposed upon an actuator arm, the actuator arm also having a voice coil, includes the steps of detecting a reset signal, generating a back electro-motive force voltage with a spindle motor in response to the reset signal, generating a drive voltage in response to the back electro-motive force voltage, using a switching circuit to provide the drive voltage to the voice coil in a first polarity for a first period of time, and thereafter, using the switching circuit to provide the drive voltage to the voice coil in a second polarity.

摘要： A device for properly aligning a removable hard disk cartridge with the moving parts and data transfer head of an associated disk drive. In particular, the device is for use in recording and archiving of digital video and other data. The device includes an integrated pair of elongate spring structures formed from a portion of a housing cover. The elongate springs are configured to extend from the cover to slidingly engage the removable hard disk cartridge. The springs fully constrain the position of the cartridge within the drive to avoid misalignment between the removable hard disk cartridge and the data transfer head and various other moving parts of the disk drive system.

摘要： Devices, systems, and methods prevent rigid recording media for video and other data from rattling within a cartridge when that cartridge is removed from a disk drive. To decrease rattling (and the resulting damage to the disk), a hub of the disk is urged against an inner surface of the cartridge housing. A door translates laterally to provide access to the disk within the cartridge. A feature is defined by an inner surface of the cartridge housing, and one or more resilient arms extend from the door assembly so as to engage the feature when the door moves towards a closed position. The feature deflects the arm axially against the disk, so that the arm can act as both an actuation mechanism and a biasing spring.
