A magnetic head device which can accommodate higher data transfer rates can be implemented by using lead wires. A magnetic head device 1 according to the present invention includes a head slider 3 having a magnetic head 2 having a data reading element and a data writing element, a reading lead RL for transferring data between the data reading element and external devices, the reading lead configured by a pair of lead wires which are twisted together, and a writing lead WL for transferring data between the data writing element and external devices, the writing lead configured by a pair of lead wires which are untwisted but arranged in parallel to each other. Thus, the magnetic head device can accommodate higher data transfer rates by using the writing lead WL configured by a pair of lead wires which are untwisted but arranged in parallel to each other.

A load beam for a data storage device having a first end operatively configured for connecting to a head actuator arm and a second end operatively configured for supporting a signal transducer head is provided. The load beam has a flange with a bent portion. The bent portion is arranged by bending the standing portion of the flange in the middle thereof outwardly from the load beam. The bent portion is arranged so that it progressively becomes wider as it runs toward the end of the load beam. The flange is adapted to be nearly flush with a flat base surface at the end of the load beam so as not to have a standing portion and such that signal wires may be connected to a signal transducer head without being unduly bent.

A magnetic disk drive is to be provided wherein a ramp and a magnetic disk do not overlap each other and both rigidity and dynamic characteristics of a suspension are maintained. In one embodiment, a ramp and an actuator lying at a retractive position are spaced away from and do not overlap an outer peripheral end of a magnetic disk. A tab is formed centrally of a front end of a load beam and is bent in U shape. Flanges are formed along both longitudinal edges of the load beam. An aperture is formed in a front portion of the load beam. The aperture permits the tab to be machined in a desired shape. An aperture is formed behind the aperture. The aperture is used to clamp a head in a wire bonding step for the head. The apertures and are not formed in an integrally contiguous manner but are separated from each other by a bridge portion.

In attaching a load beam to a carriage, the swage attachment is used between the carriage and a mountplate, while the load beam is attached to the mountplate by welding and other binding means, to create a structure in which the load beam does not come into direct contact with the swage part, so that a structure is obtained in which the load beam is hardly subject to deformation or other direct influences from the swage operation. In addition, by forming the attaching plate side of the load beam to envelope a carriage, or by extending both sides of the load beam from the central portion in the longitudinal direction toward the carriage, a structure improved in the stability of load beam attachment is obtained.

Approaches for integrated lead suspension that provides many benefits, such as enabling a dual stage actuator (DSA) to be used with a single layer flex with a reduced amount of crosstalk. An integrated lead suspension comprises a tail end having a plurality of conductive pads positioned thereat. The plurality of conductive pads includes a first and second dual stage actuator (DSA) pad. The first and second DSA pads are electrically coupled to a conductive member by way of conductive vias. The conductive member may be a stainless steel island. The first DSA pad conducts a signal to a first terminal at each of a plurality of dual stage actuators, while a second terminal at each of the plurality of dual stage actuators is connected to ground.

An imaging apparatus that records, on a recording medium, a moving image captured using a solid-state imaging device as stream data, is disclosed. The apparatus includes: an image encoding section that encodes data of the captured moving image with a unit of an image group being a sequence of images of a fixed number of frames; an input detection section that detects a recording stop request to stop recording of the stream data including the moving image data being an encoding result of the image encoding section onto the recording medium; and a recording control section that controls a recording operation of the stream data onto the recording medium such that, when the recording stop request is detected by the input detection section, the image group located immediately before the image group including an image captured at the time of detection is the last image group.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques to prevent, when a bonding pad and a lead wiring pad are to be connected using a solder ball, the solder ball from deviating from a centerline and a soldering problem from occurring. In one embodiment, a head suspension assembly includes a solder ball disposed between a lead wiring pad provided for a flexure and a bonding pad provided for a slider. The solder ball is then melted for making a soldered joint between the lead wiring pad and the bonding pad. A through slot is provided at a position near a centerline on a front surface of the lead wiring pad. The solder ball is dropped into the through slot by gravity from the front surface of the lead wiring pad. A contact area in contact with the solder ball is thereby secured on a side of the slider.

An integrated lead suspension includes a solder ball that is placed between a lead wiring pad provided on a flexure of the suspension, and a bonding pad provided on a slider of a head gimbal section. The lead wiring pad and bonding pad are soldered by melting the solder ball. As a result, there is provided a recessed section into which a solder ball is placed by way of surface raised sections, using gravitational force, in the vicinity of the center line of the surface of the lead wiring pad. In this way the position of the solder ball is not displaced from the center line when a bonding pad and lead wiring pad are connected by means of a solder ball.

In a suspension used in an actuator of a hard disk drive, a limiter mechanism is to be provided which produces little dust and which can restrict deformation of a gimbals even against a strong shock. According to one embodiment, when a weak shock is applied to the suspension, a limiter tab and a back side of a load beam come into contact with each other to prevent a gimbals from being largely deformed by the shock. Since deformation of the gimbals is restricted by surface contact of both load beam and limiter tab, the generation of dust is suppressed effectively. When a strong shock is applied to the suspension, the limiter tab is deformed and a projecting portion of a restrictive aperture and an end portion of a limiter tab aperture come into contact with each other. The projecting portion retains the limiter tab to restrict a further deformation of the gimbals.
