Patent number: 5801909Abstract: A thin film magnetic head is fabricated on a substrate by depositing a seed layer on the substrate. A lower magnetic layer is plated on the substrate in an opening provided in an insulative layer which is deposited on the seed layer. A plurality of magnetic layers are plated at one end of the lower magnetic layer to build-up and form a first side pole by using the above seed layer as a seed. Another plurality of magnetic layers are plated at the other end of the lower magnetic layer to build-up and form a second side pole by using the same seed layer as a seed. The first and second side poles thus formed include upper and lower ends, the lower ends being plated to the ends of the lower magnetic layer. A first upper pole is plated to the upper end of the first side pole. The first upper pole includes a gap end facing the second side pole. A gap region of nonmagnetic material is deposited adjacent the gap end of the first upper pole.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: AIWA Research and Development, Inc.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 5754377Abstract: A thin film magnetic head is provided in which a magnetic yoke assembly is built up, layer by layer, atop a substrate using semiconductor thin film techniques. A lower yoke assembly is first fabricated including a lower magnetic layer situated on the substrate and first and second side poles built up vertically from the ends of the lower magnetic layer. An insulative pedestal surrounded by a frame is formed at the top of the lower yoke assembly and extends above the uppermost lateral plane of the yoke assembly. A diamond-like carbon (DLC) wear layer is deposited atop the pedestal. First and second pole support wells are excavated in the DLC layer so as to expose the first and second side poles therebelow, and further to receive first and second pole supports, respectively, therein. First and second pole extension members are situated on the first and second pole support members, respectively, with a non-magnetic gap region being situated between the first and second pole extension members.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1994Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: AIWA Research and Development, Inc.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 5684660Abstract: A thin film head is disclosed which is miniaturized to fit within a reduced size window or circumferential slot in a rotary head assembly. The thin film head and window or slot can be made so small that undesired tape cupping into the window or slot is significantly reduced. The thin film head includes a substrate of electrically insulative material. In one embodiment, a substantially helical thin film coil structure is situated atop the substrate. A magnetic core extends through the coil structure so that the coil structure can magnetically excite the core. The core includes first and second side pole members. A protective cocoon of electrically insulative material covers the coil structure and the core except for ends of the first and second side pole members. The cocoon includes an upper planar surface which exposes the ends of the first and second side pole members to permit coupling thereto by a magnetic gap structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1995Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Assignee: AIWA Research And Development, Inc.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 5631367Abstract: A process for the manufacture of 7-acylamino-3-hydroxy-cephem-4-carboxylate-1-oxide in E-rotamer form (Formula III), comprises reacting a 7-acylamino-3-exomethylenecepham-4-carboxylate-1-oxide with ozone in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a catalytic amount of an organic or inorganic base at a temperature ranging from about -80.degree. C. to about +20.degree. C. The E-rotamer (wherein the 3-hydroxy group is strongly hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl of the 4-ester group) exhibits different chemical and physical properties from and is more thermodynamically stable than, the Z-rotamer (wherein there is no hydrogen bonding between the 3-hydroxy group and the carbonyl of the 4-ester group).Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1995Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Inventors: Jag M.

Patent number: 5621594Abstract: A thin film helical conductor coil assembly includes an electrically-nonconducting ceramic substrate having a substantially planar surface and separated first and second magnetic elements which mutually bound a volume of the ceramic substrate. The thin film conductor coil assembly also includes a thin film magnetic core, which magnetically connects the first magnetic element to the second magnetic element. The thin film magnetic core, which overlies the substantially planar surface of the ceramic substrate, is constructed from a compliant electroplated magnetic material. The thin film conductor coil assembly further includes an electroplated thin film helical coil which traverses about the thin film magnetic core and forms a conductive path from a first terminal to a second terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1995Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: AIWA Research and Development, Inc.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 5490028Abstract: A thin film magnetic head is fabricated on a substrate by depositing a lower shield layer on the substrate. A lower layer of a magnetic yoke is situated on the lower shield layer to couple the yoke to the shield. Alternatively, the magnetic yoke is isolated from the lower shield layer by an insulative layer therebetween. At the same time that first and second magnetic side poles are built up layer by layer via successive plating operations at the respective ends of a lower magnetic layer of the yoke, a side shield structure is plated up, layer by layer, at the periphery of the lower shield layer to surround resultant side pole structure. A shield cover is plated on the top of the side shield to substantially enclose the side pole structure, but leave an opening for an insulative pedestal though which the tops of the side poles extend. First and second magnetic poles are plated to the tops of the first and second side poles such that a gap region of non-magnetic material is formed therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1994Date of Patent: February 6, 1996Assignee: AIWA Research and Development, Inc.Inventors: Jane Ang, Arun Malhotra, G.

Patent number: 5347000Abstract: A process for preparing a 2-chlorosulfinylazetidinone comprises heating in an inert organic solvent a penicillin sulfoxide ester, at a temperature between about 75.degree. C. and 140.degree. C., with an N-chlorohalogenating agent in the presence of a weakly basic N-alkali metal salt of a cyclic imide. The weakly basic N-alkali metal salt of a cyclic imide acts as an acid scavenger to bind the hydrogen chloride which is produced as a byproduct of the reaction. Preferably, the N-chlorohalogenating agent is N-chlorosuccinimide or N-chlorophthalimide, and the weakly basic N-alkali metal salt of a cyclic imide is the sodium or potassium salt of succinimide or phthalimide.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1993Date of Patent: September 13, 1994Assignee: Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd.Inventors: Jag M.
