20150333046 | INTEGRATED DEVICE - An integrated device with high insulation tolerance is provided. A groove having an inclined side surface is provided between adjacent devices. When a side where an electronic circuit or MEMS device is mounted is a front surface, the groove becomes narrower from the front surface to a back surface because of the inclined surface. A mold material (insulating material) is disposed inside the groove, so that the plurality of devices are mechanically joined together, being electrically insulated from one another. A line member that establishes an electrical conduction between the adjacent devices is formed to lie along the side surface and the bottom surface of the groove. To lead the line out to the backside, the bottom surface of the groove has a hole, so that the line member is exposed to the backside from the hole. | 11-19-2015 |

20100014190 | RECORDING MEDIUM DRIVE - According to one embodiment, a recording medium drive includes a stator, a rotor, recording disks, an annular spacer, and an annular thin plate. The rotor is rotatably supported by the stator. The recording disks are mounted on the rotor. The annular spacer is mounted on the rotor between the recording disks. The annular thin plate is mounted on the rotor between one of the recording disks and the annular spacer. The thin plate includes a first thin plate, a second thin plate, and a viscoelastic body. The first and second thin plates are formed of a hard resin plate or a metal plate. The first thin plate is adjacent to either the one of the recording disks or the annular spacer, and the second thin plate is adjacent to the other. The viscoelastic body is interposed between the first thin plate and the second thin plate. | 01-21-2010 |
20100097725 | CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY AND STORAGE MEDIUM DRIVING DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a carriage assembly includes a carriage block body, a carriage arm, a coil, a pair of support arms, and a frame body. The carriage block body is rotatably connected to a spindle. The carriage arm extends forward from the front of the carriage block body. The coil is located behind the carriage block body, and defines a linear region extending along a reference straight line extending radially from the center of the spindle. The support arms extend in parallel to the linear region from a back surface of the carriage block body. The frame body is made of a resin material, and fills between the coil and the support arms to couple the coil and the support arms. The support arms extend more outside than the external end of the linear region of the coil in the radial direction. | 04-22-2010 |
20100142081 | MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE, ACTUATOR ARM, AND SUSPENSION - According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes a magnetic disk, a magnetic head, and an actuator. The magnetic disk stores data. The magnetic head floats due to an air flow produced by the rotation of the magnetic disk to write and read data to and from the magnetic disk. The actuator includes a suspension and an actuator arm. The suspension supports the magnetic head. The actuator arm supports the suspension. The actuator is provided with a strip projection, a bump, a plurality of projections, or a concave portion on the upstream side of an air flow produced by the rotation of the magnetic disk. | 06-10-2010 |

20130075385 | Thermal Eraser For Tactile Drawings - A thermal eraser for erasing tactile drawing features from a tactile drawing medium, along with methods of erasing tactile drawing features formed on a tactile drawing medium, are disclosed. The thermal eraser has a heated tip that can be heated to a temperature sufficient to cause the tactile drawing feature to flow back into the surface of the tactile drawing medium. The heated tip has a tip temperature that can be controlled by a temperature-regulating circuit. A set-point temperature can be used to set the tip temperature and maintain the tip temperature. The thermal eraser can be controlled by hand or by an electro-mechanical device such as a tactile printer. | 03-28-2013 |
20130082830 | Systems For and Methods of Digital Recording and Reproduction of Tactile Drawings - Systems and methods of digitally recording and reproducing tactile drawings are disclosed. The method includes moving a stylus over a path on the first tactile drawing medium to form a tactile feature thereon, and digitally recording the path of the moving stylus to generate digital path data. The method also include reproducing the tactile feature on a second tactile drawing medium operably disposed in a tactile printer based on the digital path data. The systems and methods include forming tactile drawings based on a digital graphics file, including filtering the digital graphics file to form a .RLD file suitable for forming a tactile drawing having features capable of being tactilely sensed. | 04-04-2013 |
