  • Patent number: 6791790
    Abstract: In a hard disk drive, at least one groove is formed in any of the base plate and the cover plate to pump air toward an outer side of the disk. An outer end of the groove is located at a position inwardly separated from an edge of the disk such that an air journal zone of predetermined width is formed along a circumferential direction of the disk between the outer end of the groove and the edge of the disk. The groove is formed in multiple numbers in a circumferential direction of the disk at a predetermined interval and is extended in a radial direction from an inner side of the disk and curved in a direction in which the disk rotates. Thus, vibration of the disk is reduced by a damping operation of air pumped by the groove having a high pressure in the air journal zone.

  • Patent number: 6192291
    Abstract: A module of a host computer of a semiconductor fabrication management system receives from an operator a plurality of IDs assigned by the operator to each of the wafers, respectively, received in the slots of a wafer cassette. The module searches a database of the host computer to correlate each received wafer ID with a process step ID, and the process step ID with a process program ID (PPID). Process condition data is formulated from the correlated process step IDs and PPIDs. At this point, the semiconductor fabrication management system is used to determine whether the operator has inputted a track-in signal to the system. If the track-in signal has been inputted, the processing condition data is downloaded to a server of the semiconductor processing equipment. The downloaded process condition data is used to change, if necessary, an equipment control message stored in the server.
