Publication number: 20070139641Abstract: Aspects include metrology methods and systems for determining characteristics of conical shaft portions, such as angle of taper. In an example, a metrology system includes a fixture for supporting a workpiece. The fixture provides for translation in a longitudinal dimension, and rotation about an axis of symmetry. The system may include a sensor mounted for scanning lines including sections of the workpiece as well as control logic for coordinating translation of the workpiece to provide for an approximately constant ratio of longitudinal translation and lines scanned during scanning operations. The system may include image logic for assembling an image from image data generated during each scanning operation; edge detection logic for detecting at least one edge shape in each assembled image; and slope calculation logic for calculating a slope of each of the at least one detected edge shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Applicant: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Ananda Mysore, Steve Gonzalez

Publication number: 20070137056Abstract: For preferably and accurately measuring characteristics of workpieces, such angle of taper of a conical cavity defined by a workpiece, examples may include a system having a stage movable in predictable and repeatable increments, and a compliancy fixture. The compliancy feature may include a sapphire to metal interface. Such examples may also include a mechanism, such as an elongate body or an arm, for alternately disposing each of a first object of a first size and a second object of a second size in the conical cavity. Examples may use spherical objects, or portions thereof. Systems further include at least one sensor for determining positions of the first and second objects in the conical cavity and logic for determining the characteristics, such the taper angle, based on the position of the first object and the second object in the conical cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Applicant: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Ananda Mysore, Steve Gonzalez

Patent number: 6239943Abstract: A spindle motor is described having a motor stator, a motor rotor, the motor being energized to cause rotation of the rotor supporting a single disc or a stack of discs which is mounted in such a way that the rotating bottom or top (or both) disc surface is closely adjacent to a stationary disc drive casting surface. The squeeze film action in the remaining air gap provides significant damping of the disc vibration. Typical implementation use air gaps of 0.004″-0.006″ for 2½″ drives and 0.006″-0.10″ for 3½″ drives.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1996Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: David John Jennings, Hans Leuthold, Lakshman Nagarathnam, Steve Gonzalez, Dean A.

Patent number: 5710678Abstract: The present invention replaces the current spindle motor ball bearing system of a hard disc drive by a system comprising three separate elements, including a self-pressurizing journal bearing for establishing radial stiffness which comprises a rotating shaft and sleeve with air or other fluid therebetween. A chevron or herringbone pattern is established on the sleeve or shaft to establish a self-pressurizing hydrodynamic bearing which maintains the stability of the system while providing for very simple manufacturing of the system. Additionally, a thrust bearing is defined based on the air pressure build-up between the housing for the disc stack and the disc stack itself. The term "integrated air-bearing" is used to name this thrust bearing because it is built up with components such as discs and housing which exist in any typical hard disc assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Hans Leuthold, David John Jennings, Lakshman Nagarathman, Steve Gonzalez, Dean A.
