Abstract:
A read/write head is provided with a body having a body length and a support surface to support data storage media as the data storage media is conveyed longitudinally across the support surface. The support surface of the body is curved about an axis in a widthwise direction of the elongate body. The support surface of the body has a reduced longitudinal length relative to the body length only in an intermediate region. At least one read/write device is provided on the intermediate region of the support surface of the body to read and/or write data on the data storage media as the data storage media is conveyed across the support surface. A tape drive system is provided with the read/write head, the at least one read/write device, and a motor to drive the data storage tape.

Abstract:
An interfaced carrier assembly including an interface circuit (150) having printed contacts (152) to provide electrical interface or feedback control for lapping operations. The printed contacts are formed on a base material (154) on the interface circuit (150) and interface with terminal pads (138) on a slider bar (100) supported by a carrier plate (126) for lapping feedback control. The interface circuit (150) is assembled with the carrier plate (126) with contacts (152) on the interface circuit (150) aligned with terminal pads (138) on the slider bar (100) supported by the carrier plate (126). Alignment of the terminal pads on the slider bar (100) and contacts (152) on the interface circuit (150) are measured by digital cameras for assembly of the interfaced carrier assembly.
Abstract:
The inventive magnetic head comprises several simple heads whose magnetic circuit has a reduction in area (6A) on its internal surface in the area surrounding the air gap (7). Said magnetic circuit is in a shape of a rectangular loop. This reduction in area causes the magnetic field to be more concentrated in the area of the air gap.
Abstract:
A master information carrier (2) that is made of a ferromagnetic thin film having a shape corresponding to an information signal and has an arrangement pattern is placed on a magnetic recording medium (1). The arrangement pattern of the ferromagnetic thin film is magnetized by a magnetizing head (6), and the arrangement pattern is transferred and recorded as a magnetization pattern on the magnetic recording medium. The magnetizing head has an annular magnetic circuit having a gap. The intensity of the magnetic field applied to the master information carrier by the magnetic flux leaking from the portion other than the gap part is 20% or less of that by the magnetic flux leaking from the gap part. The quality degradation due to conditions of recording is avoided, and uniform recording with less variation depending on the position on the magnetic recording medium is realized.

The present disclosure generally relates to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The magnetic recording head comprises a first write head, a second write head, at least one read head, and a thermal fly height control element. The first write head is a wide writing write head comprising a first main pole and a first trailing shield. The second write head a narrow writing write head comprising a second main pole, a trailing gap, a second trailing shield, and one or more side shields. The first main pole has a shorter height and a greater width than the second main pole. The second main pole has a curved or U-shaped surface disposed adjacent to the trailing gap. The thermal fly height control element and the at least one read head are aligned with a center axis of the second main pole of the second write head.
Abstract:
There is provided a magnetic head for microwave assisted magnetic recording including: a recording main pole configured to generate a recording magnetic field during operation for writing information to a recording medium, a shield arranged to form a gap to the recording main pole, wherein the recording magnetic field from the recording main pole causes a gap magnetic field in the gap between the recording main pole and the shield, and a spin torque oscillator disposed in the gap between the recording main pole and the shield, the spin torque oscillator comprising a field generation layer configured to generate a high frequency magnetic field for reducing the coercivity of a target recording area of the recording medium. In particular, the spin torque oscillator is configured such that a predetermined crystallographic axis or crystal plane orientation of the field generation layer is substantially aligned with a direction of the gap magnetic field in the field generation layer during operation. There is also provided a corresponding method of fabricating such a magnetic head.
