Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical device includes a moveable mass supported within a frame. To support the mass within the frame, a first flexure extends between the mass and the frame. An angle softening element is positioned between a first end of the first flexure and the frame to allow angular movement of the first flexure.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for a data recording module having an electronics die and a read/write die for writing and detecting data in a media die adjacent to the read/write die. A first temperature sensor is disposed in the read/write die to measure a first temperature. A second temperature sensor is disposed in the electronics die or the media die to measure a second temperature. A controller is provided, in electrical communication with the first and second temperature sensors, to generate a control signal to the electronics die in response to a difference between the first and second temperatures. The control signal is provided to servo electronics that operate a servo mechanism which modifies the position of the media die relative to the read/write die to compensate for a change in ambient temperature and maintain optimal operation of the data recording module.

Abstract: A highly parallel data storage chip device providing a plurality of parallel data tracks allocated into separate physical groups upon a data storage medium. A controller establishes logical groups of data tracks located in different physical groups. A servo track provides tracking information for a plurality of read/write devices that move relative to the length of each data track, thereby permitting parallel data transfer between the read/write devices and the distributed data tracks of the logical group.

Abstract: Electromagnetic tape head position is adjusted according to vibration indicative information received from vibration sensor secured to tape transport mechanism that supports the tape head.

Abstract: A memory that includes a controller and a media including first information is provided. A first read/write mechanism is provided including an electron emitter configured to read the first information. The controller is configured to receive a first signal generated in response to the first information being read and generate a second signal configured to cause a position of the media to be adjusted relative to the electron field emitter in response to the first signal.
