摘要:
An electromagnetic head for a storage device comprises a magnetic core forming a magnetic circuit, and a magnetoresistive means. The magnetic core is interrupted by an air-gap, thereby separating a first pole and second pole of the magnetic core. The magnetoresistive means is disposed in the region of the air-gap, and is connected to the magnetic core so as to be connected in the magnetic circuit.
摘要:
A bi-dimensional position sensor that can be advantageously used in the turn system controlled from the steering wheel of a vehicle. The sensor includes a permanent magnet fixed to a control lever so as to move in a plane along first and second directions and to rotate about a third direction orthogonal to the preceding ones. The permanent magnet is movable with respect to an integrated device including a first group of sensor elements arranged spaced along the first direction, a second group of sensor elements arranged spaced along the second direction and a third group of sensor elements detecting the angular position of the permanent magnet. Electronics integrated with the sensor elements generate a code associated with each position which the permanent magnet may assume and generate a control signal corresponding to the desired function.

An electrostatic cleaning structure of a hard disk driver is formed by a plurality of concentric conductive regions to which biasing pulse trains are supplied. Each biased conductive region generates an electric field attracting any dielectric particle. The pulse trains supplied to immediately adjacent conductive regions are phase-shifted by a predetermined time and in a direction linked to a desired direction of removal for the electrostatic particles. Voltage pulses sent to each conductive region are delayed with respect to voltage pulses sent to an immediately preceding conductive region in the direction of desired removal, and are advanced with respect the voltage pulses sent to an immediately successive conductive region.

A suspension arm (125) for a head (120) of a disk storage device comprises at least one wall (225, 230) substantially perpendicular to the disk (105) and having a portion (238, 239) which is deformable parallel to a plane extending through a longitudinal axis (235) of the suspension arm (125) and perpendicular to the at least one wall (225, 230), and piezoelectric member (240, 255) which can deform the portion (238, 239) in order correspondingly to move the head (120), the piezoelectric member (240-255) being fixed to the portion (238, 239) of the at least one wall (225, 230).
摘要:
A sensor with a movable microstructure including a sensitive element, formed in a first chip of semiconductor material for producing an electrical signal dependent on a movement of at least one movable microstructure relative to a surface of the first chip. The sensitive element is enclosed in a hollow hermetic structure, and circuitry for processing the electrical signal is formed in a second chip of semiconductor material. The hollow hermetic structure includes a metal wall disposed on the surface of the first chip around the sensitive element, and the second chip is fixed to the metal wall.
摘要:
The electronic device is formed in a die including a body of semiconductor material having a first face covered by a covering structure and a second face. An integral thermal spreader of metal is grown galvanically on the second face during the manufacture of a wafer, prior to cutting into dice. The covering structure comprises a passivation region and a protective region of opaque polyimide; the protective region and the passivation region are opened above the contact pads for the passage of leads.

A method of producing suspended elements for electrical connection between two portions of a micro-mechanism that can move relative to one another provides for the formation of a layer of sacrificial material, the formation of the electrical connection elements on the layer of sacrificial material, and the selective removal of the layer of sacrificial material beneath the electrical connecting elements, the layer of sacrificial material being a thin film with at least one adhesive side that can be applied dry to the surface of the micro-mechanism.
