Disc Drive Data Storage System And Load Beam Having Improved Captures For Routing Head Wire And Tube Assembly

View page
US Patent:
6751066, Jun 15, 2004
Filed:
Aug 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/141183
Inventors:
Scott Robert Warmka - Edmond OK
David Daniel Backlund - Hanover MN
Assignee:
Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 548
US Classification:
3602458
Abstract:
A load beam and a disc drive data storage system using the same are disclosed. The load beam includes a resilient section adapted for attachment to a support arm, and a substantially rigid section coupled to the resilient section and coupleable to a gimbal. The resilient and rigid load beam sections are separated by a preload bend. A first slide capture is included on the rigid load beam section and is adapted to slidably secure a conductor sleeve to the rigid section such that the sleeve can move longitudinally therethrough. The first slide capture substantially constrains conductor sleeve movement orthogonal to longitudinal movement. A first longitudinal inhibiting capture is included on the resilient load beam section and is adapted to secure the sleeve to the resilient section such that longitudinal displacement of the conductor sleeve proximate the firsts longitudinal inhibiting capture is constrained.

Self-Loading Head Slider Having Angled Leading Rails And Non-Divergent Notched Cavity Dam

View page
US Patent:
61340839, Oct 17, 2000
Filed:
Sep 22, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/158202
Inventors:
Scott R. Warmka - Edmond OK
Assignee:
Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 2121
US Classification:
3602356
Abstract:
A self-loading disc head slider includes first and second raised bearing surfaces having outside bearing edges which diverge from one another along a leg portion which extends from a leading portion to a waist portion of the first and second bearing surfaces. A cavity dam defines a sub-ambient pressure cavity between the first and second bearing surfaces. A leading contour extends from a leading slider edge an intersection with first and second bearing surfaces. A notch is positioned within a central region of the leading contour between the first and second bearing surfaces and has first and second side walls which extend from the leading slider edge to the sub-ambient pressure cavity, through the cavity dam. At least one of the side walls is non-divergent from a longitudinal slider center line at the intersection in a direction from the leading slider edge toward a trailing slider edge.

Head-Gimbal Assembly With Reduced Vertical Spacing Envelope And Alignment Structures

View page
US Patent:
58503200, Dec 15, 1998
Filed:
May 13, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/854905
Inventors:
Scott Robert Warmka - Richfield MN
Michael Sweney Lucas - Inver Grove Heights MN
Tracy Michael Hagen - Edina MN
Assignee:
Seagate Technology, Inc. - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 548
G11B 560
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
A head-gimbal assembly supports a transducer proximate a magnetic surface for magnetic recording. This assembly comprises a flexure used in conjunction with a slider having a recess of sufficient depth provided in its top surface such that when a flexure member is set in the recess, and the member is attached during the HGA assembly process, the top of the flexure is flush with or is below the top surface of the slider. The gimbal component of the flexure is further provided with lateral alignment tab(s) to contact an interior wall of the recess, thereby providing alignment of the slider to the gimbal in the lateral direction, and longitudinal alignment tabs to contact the trailing surface of the slider, thereby providing alignment in the longitudinal direction. The slider is further provided with an identifying code on a non-recessed portion of the top surface of the slider such that the code is not obstructed by the flexure in the top plan view.

Self-Loading Disc Head Slider Having Blunt Cross Rail

View page
US Patent:
57216509, Feb 24, 1998
Filed:
Aug 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/703072
Inventors:
Peter Crane - Richfield MN
Scott Robert Warmka - Richfield MN
Jih-Ping Peng - Bloomington MN
Assignee:
Seagate Technology, Inc. - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 560
US Classification:
360103
Abstract:
A self-loading disc head slider includes a leading slider edge, a trailing slider edge and first and second raised side rails with first and second bearing surfaces, respectively. A cross rail extends between and is coplanar with the first and second raised side rails. A tapered surface is formed within the first and second raised side rails and the cross rail. The tapered surface extends from the leading slider edge to an intersection with the first and second bearing surfaces. A subambient pressure cavity is positioned between the cross rail and the trailing slider edge. A notch is positioned within the tapered surface, which extends from the leading slider edge to the cross rail and terminates prior to the intersection. The notch defines a leading edge of the cross rail along the tapered surface such that the leading edge of the cross rail is recessed from the first and second bearing surfaces.

Ledger-Based Device Health Data Sharing

View page
US Patent:
20210365341, Nov 25, 2021
Filed:
May 20, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/879175
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Scott Robert Warmka - Burnsville MN, US
International Classification:
G06F 11/30
H04L 9/06
Abstract:
A system, apparatus, and method may include an electronic device node configured to generate device health data indicative of electronic device health. A ledger node may store a shared ledger. The shared ledger may use blockchain or encryption techniques and may store encrypted data, data pointers, or transfer data. The shared ledger may be accessible by at least two parties to share particular device health data.

Selectable Read Modes For A Two Dimensional Magnetic Recording System

View page
US Patent:
20180067647, Mar 8, 2018
Filed:
Sep 6, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/256893
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Scott Warmka - Burnsville MN, US
Mark Allen Gaertner - Vadnais Heights MN, US
Jon D. Trantham - Chanhassen MN, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/06
G06F 12/10
G11B 5/09
Abstract:
Two or more read modes of a data storage system and device are defined. The data storage device is capable of concurrently reading from two or more tracks using two or more read transducers. The read modes utilize different numbers of the two or more read transducers while reading data. The tread modes are selected based on an operating condition of the data storage system or device.

Design Requirement Relaxation For Multiple Readers In Presence Of Large Skew Angle Range

View page
US Patent:
20150194182, Jul 9, 2015
Filed:
Mar 23, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/665150
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Scott Warmka - Burnsville MN, US
Barmeshwar Vikramaditya - Eden Prairie MN, US
Ralph William Cross - Lyons CO, US
International Classification:
G11B 20/10
Abstract:
A readback signal from a first reader and a readback signal from a second reader are received, the first reader and the second reader configured to read two-dimensional data from at least one track of a recording media. A quality metric of the second reader is measured based on the readback signal. It is determined if the quality metric for the second reader is above a threshold. If the quality metric is above the threshold, the first reader and the second reader are used to read the data.
