Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide achieve an increase of storage capacity and thinning down of a disk drive by reducing effects from an error in an assembly position of a ramp. A data storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head, a ramp, a load beam, and an actuator. The ramp includes a portion onto which the head is retracted from a surface of a medium. The load beam includes a head support portion that supports the head and a tab disposed more on the side of a leading end than the head support portion. The tab has a leading end that slides over, while being in contact with, a sliding surface of the ramp. The actuator includes the load beam and loads and unloads the head.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention reduce the height of a head gimbal assembly (HGA) while maintaining the rigidity of a load beam. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an HGA includes a slider, a flexure, and a load beam. The load beam includes a flange formed to protrude to the opposite side to a magnetic disk at the edge of the load beam extending in the length-wise direction. The load beam has a recessed portion opened to the side opposing the magnetic disk and having an opening area larger than the area of the back surface of the slider opposing the flexure. The slider is provided in the recessed portion so that the position of the surface of the load beam is between a virtual surface including the surface of the slider opposing the magnetic disk and a virtual surface including the slider back surface.

An inertial latch for preventing an actuator arm, which is a component of a disk apparatus, from flying out from an unloading position because of an external shock. The actuator arm cannot be prevented from flying out from the unloading position because of repulsion produced when the actuator arm crashes against a stopper, by operation other than an external shock. A latch, for engaging with a point end portion of the actuator arm to prevent the actuator arm from flying out, is provided with a sensing protrusion 16e. When the actuator arm crashes against an outer crash stop, the shock causes the latch to rotate and engage with the actuator arm, whereby the actuator arm is prevented from flying out.

A disk drive having a remarkably improved shock resistance and conforming to a standard form factor is disclosed. A hard disk drive capable of detachably combined with a PC card is formed by assembling separate component parts including a functional unit 10 including a disk 11, a base plate 32 holding the functional unit 10, a frame bumper 30 disposed in a middle part of the assembly and serving as a shock-absorbing member, a card assembly 20 provided with a connector 22 to be connected to the slot of a PC card, and a top cover 33 covering the functional unit 10 held on the base plate 32. The frame bumper 30 receives lateral shocks that act on the side surfaces of the hard disk drive.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a rotating disk storage device adopting a thin yoke structure. In one embodiment, the yoke structure of a voice coil motor includes a base of a casing formed from a ferromagnetic material; an auxiliary yoke disposed so as to be magnetically coupled to the base; a magnet disposed so as to be magnetically coupled to a front surface of the auxiliary yoke; and a main yoke provided with yoke legs magnetically coupled to the auxiliary yoke and an opposing surface that confronts a front surface of the magnet. In addition, a yoke gap is defined between the opposing surface and the front surface of the magnet. The base and the auxiliary yoke form a magnetic path, which allows a dedicated yoke on a lower portion to be eliminated.

Deformation due to thermal shrinkage of a shock absorbing member surrounding a main part of a disk drive-is reduced. In one embodiment, a frame bumper covers a case (base plate) included in a disk drive excluding part of the case provided with a connector. A curved flexible part is formed in a part, opposite the connector, of the frame bumper. The curved flexible part extends or contracts to absorb the deformation of the frame bumper due to thermal shrinkage. The curved flexible part is formed in a substantially middle part of a cross part extending between side parts provided with slots. Slits are formed above and below, respectively, of the curved flexible part to enable the frame member to deform upward and downward relative to the flexible part.

An image transfer system has an extracting section that extracts image areas from a document image read by a reading section. A digital signature providing section provides sender's digital signatures to the image areas according to degrees of secrecy. An image file creating section creates an image file including image areas with the sender's digital signatures provided by the digital signature providing section and a sending section sends the image file to a receiving section. A digital signature acquiring section acquires receiver's digital signatures for restricting image areas to be presented to a user. An image area selecting section selects image areas to be presented to the user in accordance with the sender's digital signatures in the image file received by the receiving section and the receiver's digital signatures acquired by the digital signature acquiring section. An output section outputs image areas selected by the image area selecting section.
