  • Patent number: 11818834
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit (FPC) for a hard disk drive includes a plurality of electrical traces, whereby aggressor traces are isolated from victim traces to avoid crosstalk that could degrade signals. Aggressor traces may be positioned together at one of the edges of each of the top wiring layer and the bottom wiring layer, physically isolated from victim traces. Aggressor traces may be grouped together at either the top wiring layer or the bottom wiring layer, with the victim traces positioned on the layer opposing the aggressor traces. With aggressor and victim traces routed on the same wiring layer, aggressor traces may be routed away from the victim traces with multi-layer routing, by way of vias.

  • Patent number: 11817683
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to cable trays for carrying cables. In one such embodiment, a cable tray made of wire material is disclosed with a number of lateral U-bent wires and longitudinal wires fastened thereto. The U-bent wires form a bottom and a first and a second side wall for the cable tray, where the bottom is narrower than the side walls are high, as such the cables may be placed stacked one above another in the cable tray. The first side wall is made with a wavy shape with wave troughs placed close to or in contact with the second side wall and wave crests between the wave troughs. The wave-shaped first side wall forms, together with the second side wall, spaces for receiving cables.
