  • Patent number: 5873205
    Abstract: A moveable panel is described for providing privacy for a person in a work station or other location behind an arrangement of one or more stationary panels. The privacy panel is suspended from a pair of linear bearings which ride along a horizontal carrier rod mounted to the top edge of the stationary panel by a pair of hanging brackets. The linear bearings are attached to the privacy panel near its trailing edge so that the privacy panel can be moved to close an entryway adjacent the stationary panel. The entire assembly is preferably made of lightweight materials and can be easily mounted onto an existing stationary panel.

  • Patent number: 5255139
    Abstract: An improved slider and magnetic cap assembly which reduces flux loss which retards sensitivity in writing and reading in a magnetic head system. The slider incorporates a body, a partial core, a coil and a cap. The cap is mounted on the upper surface of the body and includes a first and second depending projection corresponding in shape and location to the generally U-shaped partial core so that the mating surfaces of the cap and the partial core mate directly. Another aspect of the invention is a similar slider assembly wherein the cap includes a film coil of electrically conductive material deposited around an area which mates with the partial core so that the flow of electrical current will induce magnetic flux through the core. Another aspect of the invention is a method of making a magnetic head slider wherein the back bar of a generally rectangular tube is removed and a partial core is sliced from the tube.
