METHOD FOR TREATING AND/OR PREVENTING HEARING LOSS BY USING TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR 7 AND/OR 9 ANTAGONIST
Publication number: 20240115597Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating and/or preventing hearing loss by using a Toll-like receptor 7 and/or 9 antagonist. The Toll-like receptor 7 and/or 9 antagonist of the present disclosure achieves the effect of treating and/or preventing hearing loss by attenuating noise-induced increased gene expression of cytokines and chemokines in the cochlea, attenuating the noise-induced increase of nuclear factor kappa-B expression in the cochlea, and decreasing noise-induced macrophage infiltration into the cochlea.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventor: Chao-Hui Yang -

Patent number: 8218269Abstract: Gimbal designs are provided that minimize adverse dynamic performance of a HDD suspension, particularly subsequent to head-disk-interface (HDI) interactions. The improvement of operational performance can be seen in graphical representations of the vibrational modes of a gimbal mounted slider subsequent to such HDI interactions. Each gimbal design includes a ramp limiter formed as two separated arms connected by one or two transverse bars and a routing of conducting traces that relieves stress and minimally contacts these bars.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: SAE Magnetics (HK) Ltd.Inventors: Qinghua Zeng, Chao-Hui Yang, Yen Fu, Ellis Cha

Patent number: 7701672Abstract: A loadbeam is locally stiffened by either, 1. the addition of strategically placed extra material to the loadbeam, 2. not removing material during the etching process to form the loadbeam, or 3. special forming, by crimping or bending, at specific sites on the beam. The use of local stiffening, when placed about the loadbeam dimple or between the dimple and flexure attachment points, with or without additional damping, can significantly improve the dynamical response of the loadbeam and eliminate vibrational modes of a slider mounted on the loadbeam during HDI interactions with disk surface asperities during disk drive operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: SAE Magnetics (HK) Ltd.Inventors: Qinghua Zeng, Chao-Hui Yang, Yen Fu, Ellis Cha

Patent number: 7679857Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: SAE Magnetics (HK) Ltd.Inventors: Li-Yan Zhu, Chao-Hui Yang, Yen Fu, Ellis T.

Patent number: 7433156Abstract: A flexure mounted slider and its method of fabrication is described, wherein the slider is affixed to a pair of highly compliant, transverse (to the longitudinal axis of a load beam) crossbars whose common axis passes directly above the center of percussion of the slider. The location of the center of percussion of the slider relative to the flexure eliminates translational motion of the slider during HDI events, but not twisting motion in a pitch direction during normal operation, and thereby minimizes the transfer of kinetic energy between the slider and the flexure during HDI events with a hard disk. The high compliance of the flexure crossbars to twists in a pitch direction, as well as the compliance of the outriggers to bending, allows the slider to pass over irregularities in the disk during normal operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: SAE Magnetics (HK) Ltd.Inventors: Li-Yan Zhu, Chao-Hui Yang, Mannuel Hernandez, Yen Fu, Ellis Cha
