Abstract: A disk drive head disk assembly having a compact configuration includes an actuator assembly mounted to a base plate through a three point mounting system. The actuator includes a voice coil which engages a magnet assembly having an integrated latch/magnet spacer including a fixed magnetic latch and cantilevered beam crash stop. A magnetic latch pin assembly mounted to the voice coil engages a permanent magnet employed in the fixed magnetic latch. The latch pin assembly includes a movable latch pin which has a degree of lateral movement which allows the latch pin to release from the permanent magnet with a consistent force.

Abstract: A method is provided for generating pixel color information for use in producing an image of a line segment on a graphics display screen, the method comprising the steps of: denoting at least one planar region of the display screen that encompasses the line segment; assigning respective intensity values for at least three selected pixels encompassed by the at least one planar region; assigning respective color values for the at least three selected pixels; and interpolating respective final color values for each respective pixel encompassed by the at least one planar region based upon the respective assigned intensity values and the respective assigned color values.
