摘要:
A heat transfer assembly includes a printed circuit board assembly supporting an electronic component assembly including one or more semiconductor chips. A heat sink assembly is adapted to be placed in thermal engagement with the one or more semiconductor chips. Included is a loading assembly for loading the one or more semiconductor chips toward engagement with the heat sink assembly. An encapsulating mechanism is provided that contains a sufficient amount of a thermally conductive medium to transfer heat between a surface of one or more of the semiconductor chips and the heat sink assembly, wherein the thermally conductive medium fills any gaps or space between the one or more semiconductor chips and the heat sink assembly.

摘要:
A magnetic disk drive is provided with clamping rings that whenever nested will form an annular chamber to accommodate a toroidal ring which is deformable. As the clamping rings are progressively forcefully engaged by the clamping rings, the chamber is reduced in height and transmits the force of the top clamping ring to the bottom clamping ring in a uniform distribution and prevents the force of the bottom clamping ring from having non-uniformity of distribution. This action prevents magnetically recordable disks of the disk drive from being subjected to point loading and consequential warping. The uniform distribution exerted on glass disks also prevents cracking or shattering of the glass disk and prevents warping of non-glass disks.
摘要:
A technique for preventing damage to ball bearings in small form factor devices where the drive motor has at least one piezoelectric crash stop ring disposed about the shaft and inside the rotor of the motor. The crash stop ring must be dimensioned to permit only a small amount of movement of the rotor relative to the shaft. The permitted movement is less than the minimum movement which would cause damage to the elements of the ball bearing.
