  • Publication number: 20080087455
    Abstract: A wired circuit board has a plurality of insulating layers, a conductive layer having a signal wiring extending in a longitudinal direction which is covered with the insulating layers, and a signal connecting terminal provided on a longitudinal end of the signal wiring and exposed from the insulating layers, and a ground layer having a ground wiring covered with the insulating layers and formed to surround the signal wiring in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction, and a ground connecting terminal provided on a longitudinal end of the ground wiring and exposed from the insulating layers. The signal connecting terminal and the ground connecting terminal are formed on an upper surface of the same insulating layer among the plurality of the insulating layers.

  • Publication number: 20050117256
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing weight while maintaining sufficient stiffness of a suspension assembly in provided. The suspension assembly includes a surface having a proximal end and distal end. A length is defined between the proximal end and the distal end. At least one support member (such as an edge rail) is formed to provide stiffness. The support member is contoured. In a specific embodiment, a portion of at least one cutout is disposed in at least one support member, and extends from the horizontal portion of the load beam member vertically into the at least one support member.

  • Patent number: 5442606
    Abstract: An apparatus for the dynamic positioning of an objective lens in an optical disk drive comprises a housing, a lens unit movable in a focusing and a tracking direction, a magnetic circuit mounted to the lens unit for creating a first magnetic field, a pair of current conducting coils mounted to the housing and arranged orthogonal to the first magnetic field, and a flexure for flexibly supporting the lens unit in the housing. An active region comprising at least half of the coil creates the second magnetic field in response to current passing therethrough to interact with the first magnetic field and apply a force to the lens unit. This efficient coil arrangement allows for a small, lightweight dual-purpose magnetic circuit which substantially reduces the weight of the lens positioning apparatus. The housing is a one-piece injection molded ceramic component which maximizes stiffness and minimizes weight to improve the performance of the apparatus.
