Patent number: 8093842Abstract: A position controlled drive mechanism and a control method for positioning a drive mechanism are introduced. A sensor generates a displacement signal indicative of a displacement of a movable stop driven by an electric motor. A controller controls rotation of the electric motor. The controller also calculates a position of the movable stop based on the displacement signal. The controller includes at least two modes of operation in which the controller controls the electric motor to rotate its shaft to reach a selected position of the movable stop; controls a voltage or current supplied to the electric motor to maintain a current position of the movable stop; controls the electric motor to rotate the rotatable shaft in a selected direction until an external object hinders the rotation of the rotatable shaft; and controls the electric motor to assist an externally initiated rotation movement detected by the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Exact Products, Inc.Inventors: Bruno Bergeron, Eric Bergeron, Vincent Noel

Patent number: 6038110Abstract: A thin-film magnetic head includes a substrate having first and second magnetic layers disposed above the substrate and formed as a laminated sequence of magnetic sub-layers. The first and second magnetic layers have corresponding first ends representing a pole tip region of the head, corresponding second ends representing a back gap region of the head, and corresponding intermediate portions representing an intermediate region of the head between the pole tip region and the back gap region. The first and second magnetic layers are joined together in physical contact at the back gap region and are spaced from one another at the pole tip region and at the intermediate region. A nonmagnetic gap layer is disposed between the first and second magnetic layers at the pole tip region. A magnetic coil structure is disposed between the first and second magnetic layers at the intermediate region.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph Adam Aboaf, Thomas Beaulieu, Vincent Noel Kahwaty, deceased, Mohamad Towfik Krounbi, David John Seagle

Patent number: 5745978Abstract: A magnetoresistive sensor design and fabrication process that provides improved microtrack profile linearity for servo elements while simultaneously providing stable and linear data sensing elements suitable for high density tape head applications. The stability and uniformity of both data and servo sensor elements is enhanced through the use of a grating profile under both the soft film biased magnetoresistive sensor layer and the hard bias stabilizing magnets. Processing steps are eliminated by replicating the grating pattern for the servo sensor elements through a thick layer of alumina or silicon dioxide. The outer read shield is removed from the servo elements using a stripping process that eliminates structural damage arising from alumina pinhole's. Both element types are free of significant Barkhausen noise and instability because of the grating-stabilized domains in both the active magnetoresistive regions and the passive hard-biasing regions of each sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1997Date of Patent: May 5, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph Adam Aboaf, Edward Virgil Denison, Vincent Noel Kahwaty
