Abstract: A process for machining a row of magnetic read-write head sliders involves setting, for the row of sliders, (a) a wedge angle that corresponds to an angle relative to the direction of the reader-writer offset (e.g., the y-axis) and (b) a read-write error correction process control that corresponds to a machining profile according to which the row is machined along the direction of the row (e.g., the x-axis). The row of sliders is then machined simultaneously according to the set wedge angle and the set read-write error correction control process, effectively providing multiple-axis machining control for varying reader and writer dimensional control along a row. Thus, a slider at one end of the row may be machined at a different angle, relative to the x-axis, than a slider at the opposite end of the row.

Abstract: A wall system or structure includes a lintel supported wall and footings for locating the lintel above ground. Tensioning rods extend upwardly from each footing for directly engaging an end of the wall and for securing a post to the footing, which post includes a slot for engaging the vertical edge of the wall. A plate resting on each footing may be used to support an end of the lintel above ground. Tensioning rods extend vertically from within the lintel upwardly into the wall.

Abstract: A post tensioned wall includes accessible clamping plates at the ends of selected tensioning rods. Each post of a fence section is welded to a corresponding clamping plate to mechanically attach the post to the tensioning rod extending from a footing or foundation and through the wall.
