20100061012 | RAMP FOR MAGNETIC DISC APPARATUS - For cushioning a shock to prevent problems such as a reading error, a ramp for a magnetic disc apparatus is made of a resin material for forming a ramp main body and a material having higher rigidity than the resin material, disc facing surfaces in the disc insertion portion for inserting a magnetic disc is provided with disc contact portions made of the high rigidity material, a bottom surface portion of a concave portion of the disc insertion portion is constructed by a combination of a bottom surface portion made of the resin material and a bottom surface portion made of the high rigidity material, and a step structure is provided by arranging the bottom surface portion made of the high rigidity material at a position moved rearward in a depth direction of the concave portion in comparison with the bottom surface portion made of the resin material. | 03-11-2010 |
20100149686 | DISK DRIVE - According to one embodiment, a disk drive includes a carriage supporting a head configured to perform information processing for the recording medium, and a latch mechanism configured to latch and hold the carriage in a retracted position when an external force acts on the disk drive with the carriage being in the retracted position. The latch mechanism includes a latch member pivotable around an central axis between a latchable range and a released position. The latch member is configured to pivot in a latching direction within the latchable range before the engaging portion of the carriage starts to move when a rotational impact externally acts in a direction to pivot the carriage toward the information processing position with the carriage and the latch member being located in the retracted position and the latchable range, respectively. | 06-17-2010 |
20120162819 | LATCH MECHANISM AND DISK DRIVE WITH THE SAME - According to one embodiment, a latch mechanism of a disk drive includes a latch member which includes a bearing pivotably mounted on a pivot set up in the disk drive, a main body separated from the bearing, and a bridge portion connecting the bearing and the main body. The bridge portion is less rigid than the main body. | 06-28-2012 |
20130188279 | SYSTEMS FOR AND METHODS OF CREATING A VISUAL DISPLAY ASSOCIATED WITH A DATA STORAGE LIBRARY ROBOT - Systems for and methods of creating a visual display associated with a mobile robot within a data storage library and libraries including such systems and utilizing such methods. | 07-25-2013 |
