摘要:
Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a connector for a data storage device having a sufficient strength, and relate to a data storage device using such a connector. In accordance with one embodiment, a data storage device is provided having a circuit board and a connector for making a connection with an external interface. The connector includes bosses disposed on both sides across a center of a direction orthogonal to a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the circuit board and a direction, in which the connector is connected to the interface. The boss is a protrusion that counteracts a force applied to the connector by being embedded in a hole disposed in the circuit board when the connector is disposed in the circuit board. The boss has an oblong shape having a length in a direction, in which the interface and the connector are connected together, longer than a length in a direction orthogonal to a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the circuit board and a direction, in which the connector is connected to the interface. The boss protrudes in the direction perpendicular to the main surface of the circuit board.

Damage of a connection between a connector and a circuit board on which the connector is mounted is to be prevented at the time of connecting the connector with a corresponding connector on a host side. In one embodiment, an HDD is provided with a serial ATA connector. The connector is mounted on a circuit board. The HDD is also provided with stiffeners for fixing the connector to the circuit board. When the connector moves toward a base at the time of connection thereof to a host-side connector, the stiffeners come into abutment against the base to stop the movement of the connector. As a result, damage of the connection between the connector and the circuit board can be prevented.

A multi-vortex flowmeter includes a vortex flowmeter for measurement by volume flow rate and a thermal flowmeter for measurement by mass flow rate to selectively use the two flowmeters according to the flow rate of fluid to be measured flowing through a flow channel. The multi-vortex flowmeter has a switching point between two flowmeters based on the mass flow rate. A mass flow rate Qm at the switching point in a range larger than the minimum flow rate of a vortex flowmeter and smaller than the maximum flow rate of a thermal flowmeter is determined by: Qm=K3*√P. Alternatively, a volume flow rate Q at the switching point in a range larger than the minimum flow rate of a vortex flowmeter and smaller than the maximum flow rate of a thermal flowmeter is determined by: Q=K1/√P.

Embodiments of the present invention help to prevent data error occurrence in a hard disk drive by reducing the generation of dust caused by friction between a magnetic disk and a ramp. According to one embodiment, a hard disk drive comprises an enclosure, a motor for rotating a magnetic disk, an actuator for supporting a head slider for accessing the disk, and a ramp for loading/unloading the head slider disposed in the enclosure. The ramp comprises a tab slide formed of a resin material having a sliding characteristic to slide a tab at a tip end of the actuator at a specific velocity, and a slit on which a reinforcement made of a resin material with higher mechanical strength than the tab slide is formed.

Embodiments of the invention prevent contact between a peripheral edge of a magnetic disk and a counter surface of a ramp when the magnetic disk is displaced. In one embodiment, a ramp is disposed near the peripheral side surface of a magnetic disk. The ramp has magnetic disk retainers each having slide surfaces and counter surfaces respectively facing the recording surfaces of the magnetic disk. Grooves or recesses are formed in the counter surfaces to define relief spaces. When the peripheral side surface of the magnetic disk is displaced toward the counter surface by shocks exerted on the magnetic disk drive, the relief space prevents the peripheral edge from coming into contact with the counter surface. Thus the amount of particles produced by the collision of the magnetic disk with the ramp can be reduced.

A dot matrix display system for multiple-tone displays, including a display device in which pixels are arrayed in a matrix shape, an LC (liquid-crystal) drive signal generator which converts color display data into LC display data, an 8-level data driver which selects one of 8-level voltages in accordance with the LC display data and then delivers the selected voltage, and an 8-level voltage generator by which the 8-level applied LC voltages to be applied to the pixels are produced so as to substantially make uniform color differences between the respectively adjacent tones of the multiple-tone displays. Owing to the substantially uniform color differences between the respectively adjacent tones, multiple-tone displays which are uniformly seen by the human eye can be obtained.

A disk drive damper avoids matching a frequency band of a sound frequency peak generated by the rotation of a spindle motor and a resonant frequency of the damper. The damper is attached to a disk drive apparatus and enabled to repress vibration. The damper includes a flat base portion and wall-thickness portions that are thicker than the flat base portion. The damper is varied in shape more freely than conventional flat dampers. Consequently, the resonant frequency of the damper can be adjusted more freely than ever.

A liquid-crystal display system includes a data driver, a scan driver, a liquid-crystal panel, a line memory (204 in FIG. 2) in which input display data (101) for representing any of display-ON, display-OFF and halftone every pixel are stored for, at least, one line, and a halftone pattern generator (200) by which liquid-crystal display data (106) to be applied to the data driver are generated using the contents of the line memory and the input display data. The halftone pattern generator generates ON data in response to the input display data representing the display-ON of the pixel; it generates OFF data in response to the input display data representing the display-OFF of the pixel; and it generates the ON data and the OFF data alternately in successive frames as halftone data in response to the input display data representing the halftone display of the pixel, and it also compares the input display data of a pertinent line and those of a preceding line every line so as to invert a phase of changing-over the ON data and the OFF data in accordance with a result of the comparison. Since the number of ON pixels (or pixels for either of first and second data) for the halftone display is substantially equalized every frame, flickering can be reduced irrespective of display patterns.
