  • Assembly of data storage components
    Patent number: 8118964
    Abstract: A process for assembling data storage components in which a cylindrically shaped first structure of a data storage device is inserted into an aperture of a second structure, the first structure having a circumferentially extending outer surface and the aperture of the second structure having an aperture sidewall. An annular gap is formed between the outer surface of the first structure and the inner sidewall of the aperture of the second structure, and a plurality of discrete dots of adhesive are placed to span the annular gap following which the adhesive is cured by exposing the adhesive to ultraviolet radiation to attaches the first and second structures into a sub-assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Aerodynamic air current diverting apparatus
    Patent number: 6710977
    Abstract: An air current diverting apparatus for a data storage device having a rotating data storage medium in operable relation with an actuator assembly reading data from and writing data to the data storage medium. The air current diverting apparatus has an aerodynamic shroud comprising a base having a first end attachable to the actuator assembly, an upstream surface extending upstream of the actuator assembly, and a downstream surface extending downstream of the actuator assembly and substantially non-parallel to the upstream surface.
