Abstract: A package to receive a memory device including an electromagnetic motor comprises a body having a top surface and a bottom surface. Conductive leads extend through the body so that the conductive leads are at least partially exposed within the package. A base is connectable with the bottom surface of the body, and a lid is connectable with the top surface of the body. The base and the lid have substantially matched thermal expansion characteristics and provide magnetic flux return paths for the electromagnetic motor.

Abstract: A system for storing information comprises a package including a lid, a bowl mateable with the lid, and leads extending from an interior of the package to an exterior of the package. A magnet structure includes a first flux plate and a magnet and is fixedly connected with the lid by way of the first flux plate. A media stack includes a cap including cut-outs for receiving at least a portion of the magnet structure, a media frame connected to the cap, a tip die connected to the media frame, and a second flux plate connected with the tip die. A movable media platform is movably connected with the frame and arranged between the cap and the tip die. An electric trace is formed on the media platform so that the electric trace is arranged between the media platform and the cap. A media is fixedly associated with the movable media platform and accessible to the tip die. The media stack is seated within the bowl and wire-bonded to the leads.

Abstract: An embodiment of a probe storage device in accordance with the present invention can include a media frame, a media stage including a media, a suspension arrangement moveably connecting the media stage with the media frame, the suspension arrangement including a suspension, and a tip stage having a tip extending therefrom, the tip stage being arranged so that the media is accessible to the tip. The suspension can comprise a foot fixedly connected with the media frame, a knee, a first flexure connected between the foot and the knee so that the knee is moveable relative to the foot, and a second flexure connected between the media stage and the knee so that the media stage is moveable relative to the knee.

Abstract: An embodiment of a micro-mover in accordance with the present invention can include a movable plate hermetically sealed between a top cap wafer and a bottom cap wafer. A magnet disposed on one or both of the cap wafers. The movable plate can include current paths disposed within a magnetic field generated by the magnet, and coaxially with a surface of the movable plate. When current is applied to the current paths, the movable plate is urged some distance within a gap between the movable plate and a stationary portion disposed co-planar with the movable plate.
