Abstract: A control valve and an operating method thereof are described. The control valve includes a housing containing a valve body. A first solenoid operably connects to a first lateral end of the valve body and a second solenoid operably connects to a second lateral end of the valve body. A first fluid inlet in the housing receives a first fluid at a first predetermined pressure. A second pressure inlet in the housing receives a second fluid at a second predetermined pressure. The valve body moves between a first position, where the valve body is disposed adjacent to a first lateral side of the housing, and a second position, where the valve body is disposed adjacent to a second lateral side of the housing. In the first position, the second fluid is connected to an outlet, and, in the second position, the first fluid is connected to the outlet.

Abstract: A control method is provided for loading a data transfer head to a data storage medium comprising: determining a desired maximum displacement between a parked position of the head and an encroaching position of the head in relation to a selected data storage track of the medium; determining a spin interval associated with a predetermined quantity of medium movement before the head reaches the encroaching position; rotating the data storage medium at a beginning of the spin interval; and moving the actuator during the spin interval from the parked position and at a velocity resulting in the head being displaced at the end of the spin interval a distance that is less than the maximum displacement. A data storage device is contemplated comprising programmed instructions for performing this method for a predetermined number of loading occurrences, or in relation to observing a threshold data transfer error rate.
