Abstract: A system includes a computing device with circuitry and memory with instructions for execution by the circuitry. The instructions include monitoring signals indicative of a non-uniform distance between a transfer head and a receiving substrate, and, in response to the monitored signals, actuating one or more actuators towards the transfer head or the receiving substrate to deform the transfer head or the receiving substrate.

Abstract: A method for transferring components from a transfer head to a receiving substrate is disclosed. The method includes monitoring signals indicative of a pitch mismatch between locations on the transfer head and locations on the receiving substrate and actuating at least one actuator based at least in part on the monitored signals to reduce the mismatch of the pitch of the locations on the transfer head and the locations on the receiving substrate.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a first output driver connected to a first output via a first trace and a second output driver connected to a second output via a second trace. The first output driver may be configured to output a first drive signal to the first output to drive the first output and the first drive signal may cause first induced noise in the second trace. Further, the second output driver may be configured to output a second drive signal based on the first drive signal where the second drive signal may reduce the magnitude of the first induced noise at the second output.

Abstract: A new and improved unshielded horizontal magnetoresistive head is disclosed which utilizes multiple pairs of magnetoresistive elements. The present invention provides a device which is characterized by reduced output signal undershoot amplitudes, and an increased central peak pulse amplitude, while not significantly affecting the resolution of the device. The device is also characterized by increased signal to noise and signal to interference ratios. Magnetoresistive elements utilized in the device may be fabricated and/or manufactured by simplified processes, resulting in fabrication, manufacturing and cost benefits for the magnetoresistive head. Any number of additional magnetoresistive element pairs may be utilized dependent on the accuracy and resolution required by the specific application.

Abstract: An unshielded horizontal magnetoresistive head for magnetic sensing and reading devices. The horizontal unshielded magnetoresistive head is comprised of two magnetoresistive elements separated by a gap and a conductive cross member which electrically connects the magnetoresistive elements together and to a common electrical point such as system ground. A differential voltage sensing circuit is connected across the magnetoresistive elements for sensing voltage variations when magnetic data is sensed by the head. The present invention further facilitates a more simplified fabrication process which results in cost savings and more efficient fabrication methods and procedures.
