  • Publication number: 20150131175
    Abstract: Auto-centering is for an optical element mounted in a cavity of the barrel. A first surface of the optical element engages a seat provided in the cavity. A retaining ring is threaded on the barrel, through complementary barrel and ring threads. The retaining ring engages a peripheral region of a second surface of the optical element, thereby securing the optical element between the seat and the retaining ring. The profile of the barrel threads and the spatial profile of the peripheral region of the second surface are selected in view of an auto-centering condition whereby any decentering of the retaining ring and a corresponding tilt of the retaining ring have counterbalancing effects on the centering of the optical element. Optical assemblies and a mounting method are used with the optical element.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an MAMR head structure which provides a magnetic recording device equipped with a high density recording magnetic head. Characteristic variations caused by misalignment of a main pole and a STO may be reduced because the STO may be aligned with a position on the main pole where the field intensity is enhanced. The enhanced field intensity may be provided by an angle of inclination ?1 of an inclined surface on which the STO may be formed when compared to an angle of inclination ?2 around the main pole in the region of the ABS. Further embodiments provide a method for producing an MAMR head in which an exposed surface of the main pole has an angle of inclination ?2 which is less than the angle of inclination ?1 for the inclined surface of the main pole where the STO is mounted.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a first pivot structure, a second pivot structure, and a locking structure not in contact with the second pivot structure. The second pivot structure is pivoted to the first body along a first axis through the first pivot structure. The second body is pivoted to the first pivot structure along a second axis through the second pivot structure. When the second body is unfolded to an open position along the first axis, the first pivot structure drives the locking structure to go to an unlocked state, and the second body is adapted to rotate along the second axis. When the second body is folded or unfolded to other positions along the first axis, the first pivot structure drives the locking structure to go to a locked state, and the locking structure stops the second body rotating along the second axis.
