Patent number: 8134804Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention help to prevent dropout of a head slider from an micro electrical mechanical system (MEMS) and damage of the MEMS. In an embodiment of the present invention, a suspension for a slider dynamic electric test (DET) comprises an MEMS for supporting a head slider. The MEMS has a clamper for holding a head slider and the clamper moved by an external force can attach or detach a head slider. The suspension comprises limiters for limiting the clamper's lateral movement. The limiters limit the clamper's undesirable movement, which prevents the clamper's lateral movement in attaching a head slider, a head slider's dropout and the MEMS's damage caused by a contact with a magnetic disk, or a head slider's dropout and the MEMS's damage in handling.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Tadashi Honzawa, Yousuke Fukumoto, Kenji Itoh, Shinobu Hagiya, Haruhide Takahashi

Patent number: 7739785Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a head gimbal assembly manufacturing method which can attach another magnetic head slider to a suspension to be reused without addition of solder. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a head gimbal assembly (HGA) is attached to a jig. Both sides of a portion close to the rear end of a magnetic head slider are gripped with hot tweezers heated at about 200° C. They are heated for about four seconds while applying force in a direction of peeling off the magnetic head slider from gimbals, thus removing the magnetic head slider from the gimbals. When another magnetic head slider is attached to the suspension, an adhesive adhered to the gimbals is removed and another adhesive is applied to the gimbals. The back of another magnetic head slider is pressed to the adhesive, whereby the magnetic head slider is fixed to the gimbals. Next, the solder fillet left on the gimbals is irradiated with laser beams to be melted and joined to an electric terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Kenjirou Watanabe, Yoshio Uematsu, Yousuke Fukumoto, Yohtaroh Ichimura

Publication number: 20060207242Abstract: Weight saving of industrial engines. Making pollution-causing material harmless. Improvement in thermal efficiency and reduction of operating cost. Arrangement To produce compressed air, air is pressurized by a turbo charger or a super turbo charger and stored in an air tank. The air is fed, at an optimum temperature and a given pressure, to a cylinder liner shortened according to the pressure. Valves for taking in and out air are hydraulically driven for individual opening and closing according to a computer-aided optimum valve timing diagram. The engine is controlled under high-oxygen high-temperature lean burn condition, and a hydrocarbon is injected into an exhaust manifold to reduce peroxides, thus making pollution-causing material harmless. Effects Reduction of operating cost. Increase in carrying capacity due to the weight reduction of the vehicle body in the case of a vehicle-mounted engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2003Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Toshihiro Fukumoto, Yousuke Fukumoto, Keiko Ebato

Publication number: 20060138805Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To more increase the capability of a vehicle despite the fact that mankind cannot catch up an increase in performance of the vehicle by forming the vehicle to give less damage to persons in the event of the accident of the vehicle and to minimize emission from the vehicle. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The safety of occupants in the vehicle depends upon the degree of collapse of the vehicle at the time of collision. The non-pollution of the vehicle depends upon the speed to the design change of the vehicle to alter the specifications based on the latest technologies. For this purpose, a carriage allowing the easy design change must be developed. A structure allowing the easy change of the carriage portion of the vehicle has been developed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Inventors: Toshihiro Fukumoto, Yousuke Fukumoto, Keiko Ebato
