  • Filter element with particle-trapping crevice
    Patent number: 8123830
    Abstract: A filter element includes a flow-through element and a floor element that abut one another to form a crevice along a crevice length between the flow-through element and the floor element. The crevice traps a portion of particles that become dislodged from the flow-through element.
    Type: Grant

  • Head-slap mitigation in a data storage device
    Patent number: 8089733
    Abstract: A data storage device comprises a housing, a data storage medium within the housing and a head gimbal assembly including a suspension supporting a read/write head. The read/write head is configured to store and retrieve data on the data storage medium. The read/write head is operably positioned between the data storage medium and the housing. The device further includes a head-lift limiter protruding from the housing that limits a movement of the read/write head in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the data storage medium.

  • Small and large particle recirculation filter
    Patent number: 7585358
    Abstract: A recirculation filter includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a first side and a second side and is configured to trap particles that are of a first size. The second layer has a first portion adjacent to the first side of the first layer and a second portion adjacent the second side of the first layer. The second layer is configured to trap particles that are of a second size. The second size of particles trapped by the second layer is greater than the first size of particles trapped by the first layer.

  • System and method for improving airflow in a data storage system
    Publication number: 20060126218
    Abstract: An enclosure system for a mechanical device having an airflow which carries particles. The enclosure system includes a body configured to contain the airflow and a generally flat surface. The flat surface includes at least one three-dimensional feature. The enclosure system also includes a generally smooth cover configured to cover at least a portion of the flat surface and the at least one three-dimensional feature to thereby isolate the feature from the airflow and thereby reduce air turbulence in the airflow and any resultant particle deposition.
