  • Patent number: 10819051
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a body and a plurality of terminals correspondingly provided on the body. Each terminal includes a base, two embracing arms formed by bending and extending forward from two opposite sides of the base, and a stopping portion formed by extending upward from one of the embracing arms. The two embracing arms jointly clamp a solder to solder the terminal to a circuit board, and the stopping portion is located above the solder to stop the solder from moving upward. The embracing arms clamp the solder, and the stopping portion extends from the embracing arms to stop the solder from moving upward, such that the solder can be well positioned. When the solder is soldered and melted, the embracing arms drive the stopping portion to shrink, such that the embracing arms and the stopping portion jointly squeeze the solder.

  • Patent number: 10783912
    Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising an elevator actuator configured to actuate a head along an axial dimension, and a position sensor configured to generate a sinusoidal sensor signal representing a position of the head along the axial dimension, wherein the position sensor comprises a sensor element and an encoder strip comprising a pattern having at least one region that causes a disturbance in the sinusoidal sensor signal. The elevator actuator is controlled to move the head in a first direction along the axial dimension to detect the disturbance in the sinusoidal sensor signal, and when the disturbance in the sinusoidal signal is detected, the elevator actuator is controlled to move the head in a second direction along the axial dimension opposite the first direction in order to measure a zero crossing of the sinusoidal sensor signal.

    Abstract: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a servo control system operable to actuate a head over a disk. A sensor signal is filtered with a first filter comprising a frequency response, and the filtered sensor signal is filtered to generate a compensated sensor signal. An error signal is filtered with a second filter comprising the frequency response, and an adaptation control signal is generated based on the compensated sensor signal and the filtered error signal. An adaptive filter is adapted in response to the adaptation control signal, wherein the adaptive filter filters the sensor signal to generate feed-forward compensation values. The feed-forward compensation values are applied to the servo control system to compensate for the disturbance. A disturbance signal that represents the disturbance is generated, and the frequency response of the first and second filters is optimized based on the sensor signal and the disturbance signal.
