摘要： A structure for preventing Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage to a magnetoresistive sensor during manufacture. The structure includes a switching element that can be switched off during testing of the sensor and then switched back on to provide ESD shunting to the sensor. The switch can be a thermally activated mechanical relay built onto the slider. The switch could also be a programmable resistor that includes a solid electrolyte sandwiched between first and second electrodes. One of the electrodes functions as an anode. When voltage is applied in a first direction an ion bridge forms across through the electrolyte across electrodes making the resistor conductive. When a voltage is applied in a second direction, the ion bridge recedes and the programmable resistor becomes essentially non-conductive.

摘要： Flying height Adjustment for Air Bearing Sliders An air bearing slider for sliding over a medium surface of a recording medium and having an air bearing surface facing the disk surface, a back surface perpendicular to the air bearing surface and a head at the back surface. During operation the head is maintained at a flying height above the disk surface with the aid of a flying height adjustment mechanism consisting of one or more ducts, each having an inlet at the air bearing surface and an outlet at the back surface. A valve mechanism controls an air flow through the duct or ducts by opening and closing the valve or valves together or independently. Alternatively, a deformable surface feature located on the back surface of the slider is used to alter the air flow to thus control the flying height. The mechanism of the invention allows one to achieve accurate flying height control in a range between 5 and 50 nm and between 0 nm and 15 nm as required for near-field or contact disk drives. By adjusting the flying height the contact can be limited to times of reading or writing data to the disk, thereby lowering the total contact time thereby reducing head/disk interface wear.

摘要： A lapping monitor for monitoring the lapping of a lapping surface of a body having at least one transducer which has a height that has to be lapped. The lapping monitor has a lap unit for lapping the lapping surface, at least one lapping indicator mounted close to the transducer to indicate the height of the transducer and a control block in the body at a certain distance from the lapping indicator or indicators. It is also possible to use a property of the transducers themselves, e.g., their resistance, to indicate their height. The control block receives indication of the height of the transducers being lapped from the lapping indicators or from the transducers via an electrical connection. The control block is further equipped with test contacts for establishing an external connection. The lapping monitor is particularly well-suited for performing 4-point resistance tests of the lapping indicators or transducers and can be effectively employed in lapping rows of magnetoresistive transducers such as MR or GMR heads to accurate heights.

摘要： Modified strain regions are created in correlation to strain reactive structures that are subjected to a predetermined dimensional precision adjustment. The modified strain regions are created by impacting incident particles into exposed regions of the strain reactive structures. The irradiation by the incident particles creates a predetermined material disruption and consequently a change in strain energy. The strain energy, and the associated dimensional adjustment is dependent on the irradiation process and the sum properties of the modified strain regions and the strain reactive structure.

摘要： A method and apparatus for controlling a multiple-stage actuator for a disk drive which does not require an additional sensor for measuring the relative position between adjacent actuator stages. In a two-stage actuator system, a position-type secondary actuator (SA) rides piggyback on a primary actuator (PA). The repeatable runout is measured and used as a feedforward signal to the PA. If the PA is a rotary actuator, the feedforward signal is preferably arc corrected for the arc that the head transverses from the inner radius to the outer radius of the disk. Added to the feedforward signal is the moving average of the drive signal applied to the SA. Because the SA is of the position-type having a neutral position, this moving average is proportional to the time cumulative drift present in the two-stage actuator system, and forces the PA in a direction that minimizes deviation of the SA from its neutral position. This minimizes the range requirement for the SA, the main purpose of which is to reduce non-repeatable runout.
摘要翻译：一种用于控制磁盘驱动器的多级致动器的方法和装置，其不需要用于测量相邻致动器级之间的相对位置的附加传感器。在两级致动器系统中，位置型辅助致动器（SA）骑在主致动器（PA）上。可重复的跳动被测量并用作PA的前馈信号。如果PA是旋转致动器，则前馈信号优选地对于磁头从磁盘的内半径到外半径横向旋转的弧线被校正。添加到前馈信号是施加到SA的驱动信号的移动平均值。由于SA是具有中立位置的位置型，因此该移动平均值与两级致动器系统中存在的时间累积漂移成比例，并且迫使PA沿使SA偏离其中立位置的偏差最小的方向。这最小化了SA的范围要求，其主要目的是减少不可重复的跳动。

摘要： A microfabricated wobble motor with a positioning arm attached to the wobble motor rotor acts as a fine positioner with bidirectional movement. The primary application is a rotary actuator for the read/write head in a very small magnetic recording disk drive. An integrated head-arm assembly is attached at one end to the rotor of the wobble motor. The other end of the head-arm assembly has a head carrier that is maintained in contact with the disk. Head position error information is read from the disk and used to provide control signals to each of the stator elements. The stator elements are sequentially addressed by applying a voltage from a driver circuit. This causes the rotor to be electrostatically attracted to the activated stators, so that the rotor is movable bidirectionally. The read/write head can thus be moved bidirectionally to any of the data tracks on the disk and maintained on a desired data track for reading or writing data. The fine positioner also includes a digital control system where each of the stator elements is represented by an address, and the movement of the rotor is controlled by incrementing or decrementing the stator address in an address register.
