International Classification:

G11B 5187

US Classification:

3602462, 3602461

Abstract:

A transducer for a hard disk drive system has a planar magnetic core and a pair of poletips that project transversely from the core for sliding contact with the disk during reading and writing. The transducer is formed entirely of thin films in the shape of a low profile table having three legs that slide on the disk, the poletips being exposed at a bottom of one of the legs for high resolution communication with the disk, the throat height of the poletips affording sufficient tolerance to allow for wear. The legs elevate the transducer from the disk sufficiently to minimize lifting by a thin air layer that moves with the spinning disk which, in combination with the small size of the thin film head allows a low load and a flexible beam and gimbal to hold the transducer to the disk. The transducer includes a loop shaped core of magnetic material that ends at the poletips, the core extending further parallel than perpendicular to the disk surface and preferably being formed of a plurality of slightly spaced ribbons of magnetic material in order to increase high frequency permeance. A high magnetic saturation layer may be formed adjoining the gap in at least the trailing poletip, in order to avoid saturation at the poletips during writing.

International Classification:

H03F 126

US Classification:

330151, 330149

Abstract:

The invention relates to a low cost feed forward RF power amplifier arrangement for amplifying an RF input signal using a main power amplifier operating as a class A/B amplifier. The method and apparatus modify the input signal to the main amplifier to compensate for the distortion added by the main power amplifier. The circuit provides for injecting a delayed version of the input signal, through a fixed gain-phase circuity, at a point whereby the resulting signal is amplified by the error amplifier of the second loop. A digitally controlled processor iteratively modifies various phase and gain controls to adjust the output of the amplifier. Different gain and phase control lines are iteratively updated at different rates.

US Classification:

4274301, 118423, 118428, 118500

Abstract:

Various apparatus and methods are provided for lubricating hard memory disks. A mandrel is provided in one embodiment with three rows of teeth and provides a stable, three-point engagement with the inside edge of the disks at the center aperture. When removing disks from a cassette, the mandrel preferably places a uniform space between the disks. In a second embodiment, the mandrel may be used to lubricate single-sided hard memory disks. The single-sided hard memory disk may be positioned on the mandrel in pairs in a gap merge orientation, or equally spaced apart.

US Classification:

29458, 29559, 2960317

Abstract:

Various apparatus and methods are provided for handling and transporting pairs of gap merge disks. A transfer member is provided in one embodiment which engages the outer perimeter of a pair of disks at three locations. The transfer member is configured to induce an angled tilt to the respective disks such that the bottom perimeter edges of the disks are spaced apart and the top perimeter edges of the disks are in contact. A mandrel is also provided which is configured to engage a pair of disks oriented in this fashion at the center aperture for purposes of transferring the pair of disks from the transport device to a second location for processing or transfer to another processing device.
