  • Publication number: 20240379308
    Abstract: A backlight keyswitch includes a keyswitch body, a membrane circuit board disposed under the keyswitch body, a backlight module and an elastic body having a bridge structure, a central pillar, and a ring-shaped base disposed on the membrane circuit board. The keyswitch body has a keycap with a symbol. The backlight module is disposed under the membrane circuit board for emitting light to the symbol. The elastic body is disposed between the keycap and the membrane circuit board for returning the keycap to its original position. The bridge structure extends from the ring-shaped base toward the keycap to connect to the central pillar for supporting the central pillar, such that the central pillar is suspended relative to the membrane circuit board and abuts against the keycap. A projection of the central pillar on the keycap completely covers the symbol.

  • Publication number: 20240347073
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a dual free layer two dimensional magnetic recording read head. The read head comprises a first lower shield, a first sensor disposed over the first lower shield, a first upper shield disposed over the first sensor, a read separation gap (RSG) disposed on the first upper shield, a second lower shield disposed on the RSG, a second sensor disposed over the second lower shield, and a second upper shield disposed over the second sensor. In one embodiment, the RSG comprises SiO2 and has a thickness of about 7 nm to about 14 nm. The SiO2 isolates the first sensor from the second sensor, and is a chemical mechanical processing (CMP) stop layer. In another embodiment, the RSG comprises a first sublayer comprising AlOx and a second sublayer comprising SiO2. The thicknesses of the first and second sublayers are based on an adjustable capacitance.

  • Patent number: 12106787
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relate to a read head and methods of forming thereof. Upon forming a dual free layer (DFL) sensor and a rear hard bias (RHB) structure on a seed layer, a photoresist is deposited on the DFL read head and the RHB structure. A refill layer is deposited on the photoresist and the seed layer adjacent to the DFL sensor and the RHB structure. Portions of the refill layer disposed on one or more sidewalls of the photoresist are removed, and a SiOx cap layer is deposited on the refill layer and on the one or more sidewalls. The photoresist is removed, and the SiOx cap layer and top surfaces of the DFL sensor and the RHB structure are planarized to form a substantially flat topography. The SiOx cap layer acts as a stop layer for the refill layer, and remains in the finished read head.

  • Publication number: 20240098652
    Abstract: In an example, a computing device may include a first radio device including a first antenna, a second radio device including a second antenna, and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS may establish a communication with the first and second radio devices. Further, the BIOS may receive first transmission status information associated with the first antenna from the first radio device and second transmission status information associated with the second antenna from the second radio device. Furthermore, the BIOS may detect a condition indicative of a combined transmit power of the first and second antennas exceeding a radio frequency exposure threshold based on the first and second transmission status information. The BIOS may instruct the first radio device, the second radio device, or both to perform a mitigation action to maintain the combined transmit power at or below the radio frequency exposure threshold.
