Abstract: A concave mirror substance 1 constituting a reflector is composed of a base material having a high thermal conductivity such as aluminum etc. An infrared-to-heat converting layer 2 is film-formed by anodizing the substrate formed of aluminum etc., so as to absorb light in a wavelength range which passes through a visible light reflecting layer 4 and convert it into heat. A gloss-forming buffer layer 3 is film-formed by calcining Si resin or polyimide resin over the inner side (the light source-side surface) of infrared-to-heat converting layer 2 at high temperatures, so as to buffer the two layers in a manner that does not allow infrared-to-heat converting layer 2 and visible light reflecting layer 4 to be in direct contact with each other, and so as to reduce the influence of projections and indentations present on infrared-to-heat converting layer 2 and smoothen the light source-side surface of visible light reflecting layer 4.

Abstract: A head suspension for a disk drive has a flexure extended from a load beam toward a plate. The flexure is structured to prevent fluttering. The head suspension has the plate attached to a carriage and turned around a spindle, the load beam having a rigid part and a resilient part and supported by the plate with the resilient part adjoining an end of the plate, to apply load on a slider arranged at a front end of the load beam, the flexure having a head to write and read data to and from a hard disk and a conductive path to transmit write and read signals to and from the head, the flexure being attached to the load beam and extended toward the plate, and a fixing piece formed on the flexure. The fixing piece is fixed to a resilient material at the end of the plate.

Abstract: A head suspension for a disk drive has a load beam. The load beam consists of a rigid part and a resilient part that are independent of each other. The head suspension is capable of suppressing impedance variations in a flexure and avoiding air disturbance. The head suspension has a plate attached to a carriage, the load beam having the rigid part and the resilient part, and the flexure attached to the load beam and extended toward the plate. The resilient part of the load beam is made of a resilient material that is independent of the rigid part. A first side of the resilient material is laid on an end of the rigid part and joined thereto. A second side of the resilient material is joined to the plate. The first side of the resilient material is provided with a cut to partly expose the end of the rigid part. The flexure is extended through the cut toward the plate.
