摘要:
An apparatus and method for tracking radially-dependent repeatable run-out in a disc drive having a servo loop for positioning a head over a rotating disc is provided. The disc includes multiple tracks. Radially-dependent repeatable run-out control components for at least a subset of the multiple tracks are first determined. Data representative of the radially-dependent repeatable run-out control components for the subset of the multiple tracks is then stored. The stored data representative of the radially-dependent repeatable run-out control components is retrieved before settling on the target track, and subsequently used to follow the selected track.

A disc drive including a rotatable data track, a dual-stage actuator with a primary actuator motor supporting an actuator arm, a read/write head supported by the actuator arm and communicating with a secondary actuator motor, and steps for controlling range of motion of the secondary actuator motor. The controlling steps include supplying and sustaining a bias signal to a single-sided unipolar device driver that then apply a bias voltage the secondary actuator motor to induce the secondary actuator motor to expand substantially one half of its expansion capabilities. And, confining correction signals provided by a control circuit of the disc drive, used in correcting mechanical position of the secondary actuator motor, to a voltage ranging substantially between a positive “+” and negative “−” voltage substantially equal to the applied bias voltage.

A feedforward compensator for induced vibration is disclosed. Controlled motions in an actuator induce mechanical disturbances in a surrounding cabinet. The feedforward compensator allows such disturbances to be compensated for without the need of a vibration sensor. The compensator provides a feedforward compensation signal configured to compensate for a mechanical disturbance predicted to be induced by a controlled motion of the actuator, and applies the feedforward compensation signal to a signal that controls the motion of the actuator.

A method and system for providing plant variation compensation for a microactuator in a dual-stage servomechanism of a disc drive. The method includes performing indirect adaptive filtering to identify plant variation in the microactuator, and tuning a compensator for the microactuator based on the plant variation. The indirect adaptive filtering can be performed using a two-stage process, including a first stage of adaptive modeling for the dual-stage servomechanism and a second stage of generating an indirect mode-reference inverse for the microactuator. A combined process can alternatively be employed. The microactuator can be a piezoelectric microactuator which forms a PZT system. The dual-stage servomechanism also includes a coarse actuator such as a voice coil motor.

A method of implementing a model based servo controller in a digital signal processor in a disc drive includes obtaining matrices for a discrete-time state-space realization of the servo controller. Controller states of the controller are scaled to reduce a worst case bound on the controller states. The controller states are transformed to a desired format which reduces a number of required mathematical operations. Further, the matrices are converted to fixed point format.

Disclosed are blends of about 99 to about 10 weight % of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and about 1 to about 90 weight % of a polyester of trans-4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid and at least one aliphatic glycol having 2 to 16 carbon atoms. The blends have improved gas barrier properties and improved chemical resistance.

Disclosed are copolyesters comprising an acid component of 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and a glycol component comprising 1,6-hexanediol and 1,4-butanediol. The copolyesters exhibit unusually high tensile strengths.

A motion limiter (2) for use with a short leg walker (4) includes a threaded shaft (20) passing freely through a hole (42) in a sliding block or guide (36) that is pivotally attached preferably to an upper part (6) of the walker. The lower end (28) of the shaft is preferably pivotally mounted in a recess (34) in the lower portion (10) of the walker and the remainder of the shaft is free to slide within the hole in the sliding block within a recess (26) in the upper part of the walker. The position of stop members (64, 68), threaded to the shaft above and below the block, determine the amount or fraction of the shaft permitted to pass through the hole in the sliding block. As the stop members are positioned along the shaft relatively far apart from one another, a greater length of the threaded shaft is permitted to pass through the sliding block, thereby increasing the range of motion of the walker. Conversely, as the stop members are moved relatively closer together, the range of motion decreases. If the stop members are positioned so as to abut the sliding block, no range of motion is permitted. The stop members may be positioned by a user without using tools.

摘要:
Our improved nozzle mounting comprises a support member for the nozzle secured to the projecting end of the innermost or granular material carrying conduit. The nozzle is mounted on a horizontally disposed pivot, carried by said support member. Granular material is conveyed from the lower end of the granular conveying pipe to the nozzle through a flexible member and water is supplied to the mixing nozzle by means of a flexible water pipe or hose. Our improved mixing nozzle mounting is simpler in construction than the one shown in our aforesaid patent and hence is cheaper to construct and maintain inasmuch as we have eliminated various rotary seals, gears and the like.
