  • Patent number: 7679857
    Abstract: In a system and method for a non-contact measurement of the fly height of a slider above a magnetic data storage medium using electrostatic force, a slider with a read/write head flies over a magnetic data storage medium. A series of distinct voltages are applied between the slider and the magnetic data storage medium, and corresponding read-back signals are recorded. Using the recorded read-back signals, coefficients for an empirical curve-fit equation are calculated. The coefficients are normalized and converted into a fly height measurement.

  • Publication number: 20100059207
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for assembling the thermal module. According to the invention, the fin can be combined with a heat pipe and a joint material to form the thermal module. The fin includes a main body having a through hole and an feeding hole communicating with each other. The heat pipe passes through the through hole. The joint material is injected into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole. In addition, when the fin is combined with the heat pipe, the feeding hole is above the through hole, the joint material flows downward along the clearance, and the clearance gradually narrows along a flowing direction of the joint material.

  • Publication number: 20100061646
    Abstract: An image processing method is provided. The image processing method includes obtaining a least significant bit (LSB) associated with a pixel block. Further, two bits are reduced from a bit number of each of the pixels of the pixel block. Thereafter whether to carry the pixel or not is determined according to the LSB. When the LSB is 01 or 11, the carry manners of each pixel of the pixel block in two consecutive frames are asymmetric one to another. Further, under the conditions of when the LSB is 01 and 11, respectively, the carry manners of the pixels of the pixel block mutually compensate. Therefore, the display performance of a display is improved.
