Abstract: A head gimbal assembly (HGA) has an improved interconnection between a head slider and a suspension of the HGA. The interconnection is achieved by using a reverse surface of an air bearing surface of the head slider as bonding surface to provide more space for arranging more slider electrical bonding pads thereon. The head slider is mechanically and electrically connected to the suspension at the bonding surface to have good performance on shocking conditions. The suspension further has an attitude control layer located between the head slider and the suspension. The attitude control layer serves as a datum plate for the head slider lying thereon and supporting the head slider so as to ensure the head slider a good attitude and reduce variation of slider flying height. The present invention also discloses a magnetic disk drive with the improved HGA and a fabricating method for the HGA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nano-calcium phosphates/collagen composite that mimics the natural bone, both in composition and microstructure, as well as porous bone substitute and tissue engineering scaffolds made by a complex of said composite and poly(lactic acid)(PLA) or poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA). The invention also relates to the use of said scaffold in treating bone defect and bone fracture.
