  • Patent number: 8613379
    Abstract: A device mounting assembly particularly intended for connection to the mirror mount of a motorized scooter so that a portable device such as a cellular telephone may be positioned for ready access by the rider of the scooter includes a severable pin connection at the location where the assembly is coupled to the vehicle and/or to a portable device wherein the pin connections help resist relative movement at such locations under normal operating conditions of the vehicle but may be severed in response to the application of a sufficient force to the assembly to resist disengagement of the portable device from the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5631408
    Abstract: A method is provided for making crater shaped bumps on a magnetic disk. The crater shaped bumps have a diameter in the range of 10 to 25 .mu.m and a peripheral ridge with a height h.sub.r above a nominal surface of the calibration disk in the range of 75 to 120 nm. Close tolerance crater shaped bumps with this configuration can be made by impinging two or more pulses of laser energy on the same location of the disk. By increasing the number of pulses the height of the peripheral ridge progressively increases. By employing multiple pulses, the height of the peripheral ridge is increased while the diameter of the crater shaped bump stays substantially constant. Further, by employing multiple pulses diameters and heights of crater shaped bumps can be produced with close tolerances within a diameter range of 5 to 20 .mu.m and a height range of 2 to 120 nm.

  • Patent number: 5528922
    Abstract: A method is provided for making crater shaped bumps on a calibration disk which can be used for calibrating a PZT slider, the PZT slider in turn being used for detecting predetermined asperities on a production run magnetic disk. The crater shaped bumps emulate predetermined asperities of production run magnetic disks and especially asperities which are undesirable and would cause the production run disk to be discarded after testing by the PZT slider. Crater shaped bumps which emulate undesirable asperities on current production runs of magnetic disks have a diameter in the range of 10 to 25 .mu.m and a peripheral ridge with a height h.sub.r above a nominal surface of the calibration disk in the range of 75 to 120 nm. Close tolerance crater shaped bumps with this configuration can be made by impinging two or more pulses of laser energy on the same location of a calibration disk. By increasing the number of pulses the height of the peripheral ridge progressively increases.
