Abstract: A tray for a disc drive includes a disc receiving region, a side wall substantially surrounding the disc receiving region, and a plurality of hooks extending inwardly from the side wall. The disc receiving region includes a first portion for receiving a disc, and one or more second portions. The hooks is spaced apart from the disc receiving region and spatially corresponding to the one or more second portions of the disc receiving region, and is for preventing the disc from being displaced from the disc receiving region.

Abstract: An thin film alloy based on chemical elements with high glass forming ability is disclosed. The alloy is deposited as a thin film from a source of substantially the same chemical composition. Within the deposited thin film, amorphization is induced extensively up to decades of micrometers in size during controlled annealing. Such controllable extensive amorphization throughout the thin film is useful to regulate the proportion of amorphous phase to crystalline phase, establish the structure/property relationships and thus tailor specific properties.

Abstract: A heat pipe (10) includes a casing (12) and a sintered powder wick (14) arranged at an inner surface of the casing. The sintered powder wick is in the form of a multi-layer structure in a radial direction of the casing and at least one layer is divided into multiple sections in a longitudinal direction of the casing, and the multiple sections have powder sizes different from each other. The sections with large-sized powders are capable of reducing the flow resistance to the condensed liquid to flow back while the sections with small-sized powders are capable of providing a satisfactory capillary force for moving the condensed liquid.

The tube defines therein a plurality of through holes (142) and at least one cutout (144). The wick is held against the casing by the tube. Under the support of the tube, the wick as a whole engages closely an inner surface of the casing, thereby establishing an effective heat transfer path between the casing and a working fluid that is saturated in the wick. Meanwhile, with the cutout in the tube presented, the heat pipe incorporating such tube is easily to be bent or flattened so as to enable the heat pipe to be applicable in electronic devices with a limited mounting space for a cooling device, such as notebook computers.
