Abstract: An improved flexural pivot design simplifies the structure, fabrication, assembly, and integration into a device. A set of flexures 200 is affixed to two surfaces of a stationary member 100 and a single surface of a rotational member 300. The set of flexures follow opposing centers of curvature 411 and 412 to provide a stable center of rotation 400 and allow repeatable limited-angle rotational motion.

Abstract: An integrated audio/video recorder combines an audio/video recorder processor with magnetic data storage and optical data storage. The high speed an large capacity of magnetic data storage complements the low-cost, removable and robust features of optical data storage. The integrated recorder eliminates many redundant components. The integrated recorder utilizes a single printed circuit board 525 to connect a magnetic data storage microprocessor 120, an optical data storage microprocessor 220 and an audio/video recorder microprocessor 320.

Abstract: An improved data storage device integrates a magnetic data storage means and optical data storage means onto a single chassis 326. A single printed circuit board 325 provides the electrical interconnections within the integrated magnetic and optical data storage device. A single interface connector 322 connects to a host system. A single power connector 323 connects to a host system.
