Abstract: A disk drive that includes a noise reduction unit, and a method of reducing noise by using the disk drive. The disk drive includes a main chassis; a tray operatively coupled to the main chassis such that the tray is slidable relative to the main chassis, the tray including a disk accommodation portion configured to accommodate a storage medium such that the storage medium is rotatable relative to the disk accommodation portion; and a noise reduction unit configured to reduce a pressure concentration on an end portion of the storage medium as the storage medium rotates to reduce noise.

Abstract: An evaporator for a looped heat pipe (LHP) system, in which a working fluid circulates to cool a heat generating electronic component that generates heat during operation, the evaporator including: a body including an inlet through which the working fluid enters and an outlet through which the working fluid is discharged; a sintered wick that is included in the body, wherein the sintered wick is formed by sintering a copper powder, and a plurality of pores are formed in the sintered wick; and an additional layer that is formed on a surface of the sintered wick, wherein the additional layer is formed by sintering copper particles having a size smaller than that of the copper powder forming the sintered wick, and the working fluid moved from the sintered wick is changed in a vapor state to be discharged.

Abstract: A cover for an optical disc drive. The cover includes: a body having a top portion that is configured to cover a disc if the disc is inserted into the optical disc drive, and a pressure structure formed on the body and having an asymmetrical shape.

Abstract: A method of preparing a semiconductor wafer includes the step of forming first and second layers of a first material on opposing respective first and second faces of the semiconductor wafer. The second layer of the first material is then removed from the second face of the semiconductor wafer. More particularly, the first material can be polysilicon. Warping of the semiconductor wafer can thus be reduced.
