Abstract: A high efficiency compressed-air power generation system has a main casing forming a main passage, a main rotor, an air distributor, and a main generator. The main passage has an intake section and a turbine section. The suction opening is connected to the intake section of the main passage, and the main outlet opening is connected to a turbine section of the main passage. The main rotor is rotatably mounted in the turbine section. The air distributor is configured to supply compressed air into the intake section via multiple nozzles directed toward the main turbine wheels. When compressed air is released from the air distributor, ambient air is sucked into the intake section by compressed air released by the air distributor utilizing Bernoulli's principle. The main rotor is rotated by a mixture of compressed air and ambient air to drive the main generator.

Abstract: A memory card with a SATA connecter includes a SATA connector, a memory module, a controller, and a power control circuit. The SATA connector of the memory card is used for being connected with an electronic device. The SATA connector includes nine pins for receiving electric power, identifying a SATA interface signal, transmitting the SATA interface signal, and being connected with ground. The controller is electrically connected with the SATA connector and the memory module to control the data transmission between the memory card and the electronic device. The power control circuit is electrically connected with the connector, the memory module, and the controller to provide the electric power needed by the memory card.

Abstract: A method makes a magnetic head having a top and a bottom, front and rear ends and an air bearing surface (ABS) at the front end, comprising the steps of forming first and second pole piece layers with the first and second pole piece layers separated by a write gap layer at the ABS and connected at a back gap that is recessed rearwardly in the head from the ABS; forming a zero throat height (ZTH) defining layer of baked photoresist that is sandwiched between the first and second pole piece layers with the ZTH defining layer having a rounded front edge where the first and second pole piece layers first separate from one another after the ABS to define the ZTH; and forming an insulation stack with a coil layer embedded therein between the first and second pole piece layers with the insulation stack placed so that the ZTH defining layer is located entirely between the ABS and the coil layer.

Abstract: A strip of baked photoresist is employed for defining the zero throat height (ZTH) of a write head portion of a merged head. The zero throat height is the location where first and second pole pieces of the write head first commence to separate after an air bearing surface (ABS) of the write head for reducing flux leakage therebetween. A read head portion of the merged head includes a read sensor that has a recessed edge. The recessed edge defines a stripe height of the read head. The stripe height, which is the distance between the ABS and the recessed edge, establishes the magnetics of the read head. The present invention more accurately positions the ZTH with improved predictability relative to the stripe height since there is minimal shrinkage of the photoresist strip during a baking step. Further the photoresist strip has a desirable apex angle at its front ZTH defining edge for minimizing flux leakage between the pole pieces.
