摘要： A multi-element read-write magnetic recording head for recording information on a magnetic tape and for reading recorded information therefrom is provided. The recording head comprises an equal number of associated read elements and write elements to form a two-gap recording head comprising pairs of read and write elements. The two-gap recording head further comprises a first module and a second module, the first and second modules each comprising a plurality of read and write head elements. A first group of read and write heads is configured to perform in a forward direction of movement of the magnetic tape and a second group of read and write heads is configured to perform in a reverse direction of movement of the magnetic tape. One of the modules contains an equal number of forward read heads and reverse write heads and the other of the modules contains an equal number of reverse read heads and forward write heads, to provide decoupling of reading and writing functions and to enable servoing by a given read element of a write element associated therewith. Asymmetry of the magnetic recording head is provided by offsetting leads to the read elements in a given module from leads to said write elements in the same module, while maintaining orthogonality between read and write element leads near the read and write elements. The asymmetry minimizes both inductive and capacitive feedthrough into adjacent readers. As a consequence, noise produced during the writing process is reduced, providing an improved signal-to-noise ratio and thereby permitting same gap servoing.

摘要： A magnetoresistive sensor design and fabrication process that provides improved microtrack profile linearity for servo elements while simultaneously providing stable and linear data sensing elements suitable for high density tape head applications. The stability and uniformity of both data and servo sensor elements is enhanced through the use of a grating profile under both the soft film biased magnetoresistive sensor layer and the hard bias stabilizing magnets. Processing steps are eliminated by replicating the grating pattern for the servo sensor elements through a thick layer of alumina or silicon dioxide. The outer read shield is removed from the servo elements using a stripping process that eliminates structural damage arising from alumina pinholes. Both element types are free of significant Barkhausen noise and instability because of the grating-stabilized domains in both the active magnetoresistive regions and the passive hard-biasing regions of each sensor. Each servo sensor is disposed at a greater distance from the single shield to optimize the microtrack profile. The resulting reduction in servo sensor frequency response leaves sufficient bandwidth for precise servo positioning.

摘要： A position controlled drive mechanism and a control method for positioning a drive mechanism are introduced. A sensor generates a displacement signal indicative of a displacement of a movable stop driven by an electric motor. A controller controls rotation of the electric motor. The controller also calculates a position of the movable stop based on the displacement signal. The controller includes at least two modes of operation in which the controller controls the electric motor to rotate its shaft to reach a selected position of the movable stop; controls a voltage or current supplied to the electric motor to maintain a current position of the movable stop; controls the electric motor to rotate the rotatable shaft in a selected direction until an external object hinders the rotation of the rotatable shaft; and controls the electric motor to assist an externally initiated rotation movement detected by the sensor.

摘要： A thin-film magnetic head includes a substrate having first and second magnetic layers disposed above the substrate and formed as a laminated sequence of magnetic sub-layers. The first and second magnetic layers have corresponding first ends representing a pole tip region of the head, corresponding second ends representing a back gap region of the head, and corresponding intermediate portions representing an intermediate region of the head between the pole tip region and the back gap region. The first and second magnetic layers are joined together in physical contact at the back gap region and are spaced from one another at the pole tip region and at the intermediate region. A nonmagnetic gap layer is disposed between the first and second magnetic layers at the pole tip region. A magnetic coil structure is disposed between the first and second magnetic layers at the intermediate region. The second magnetic layer has a sloped region wherein the second magnetic layer slopes away from the first magnetic layer behind the pole tip region to form a space for the magnetic coil structure. The sloped region of the second magnetic layer may have less magnetic permeability than other portions of the second magnetic layer. A third magnetic layer is thus disposed on the second magnetic layer and extends from the back gap region to cover at least the sloped region of the second magnetic layer.

摘要： A magneto-resistive read/write tape head is provided for reading and writing to tape media along a tape head face. The tape head comprises a plurality of modules, each module comprising a read element and a write element spaced apart and terminating at the tape head face and formed over a substrate. The read element comprises a soft film bias layer and a hard film bias layer butted against the SFB layer. The write element comprises two pole tips spaced apart by a gap. The tape head further includes a plurality of activating conducting coil turns operatively associated with the write element and covered by a cross-linked photoresist and positioned between the gap and one of the pole tips and set back from the tape head face. The tape head has at least one of the following elements: (a) a wear shield between the read element and the write element for limiting wear of the gap between the two pole tips, the wear shield being grounded for decoupling read and write functions of the tape head, for allowing same module read/servo/write functions simultaneously, and for grounding static charge from the tape media; (b) a layer of electrically conductive and corrosion-resis tant material, such as rhodium, under the hard film bias layer to reduce its resistance; and (c) a non-activating dummy coil turn closer to the pole tips than the activating coil turns for defining a forward termination of the cross-linked photoresist between the activating coil turns and the tape head face to thereby provide improved ease of processability.
