Abstract: A motor dolly comprises a first board member, a first supporting frame, a second supporting frame, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a second plate and a third supporting frame. Each above-mentioned member is formed by stamping a plates into a U-shaped frame to provide better strength.

Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for reflecting elastic waves that propagate from an excitation source to an excitation-sensitive component in a device. The device has an enclosure with a base constructed of a first metal. An elastic wave reflector is constructed of a different second metal and is operably affixed to the base. The elastic wave reflector defines a support surface to which the excitation-sensitive component is operably affixed within the enclosure.

Abstract: Provided is an optical disk device, including a top case and a bottom case which constitute a housing having a substantially box shape in which: the top case includes, on one side thereof, a hook which engages with the bottom case; the bottom case includes an engaging portion which is provided with a cutout which engages with the hook; and a shielding portion for preventing an air flow passing through the cutout is provided in an inside of the cutout.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved disk drive carrier (10) for use in a disk storage system. The disk drive carrier includes a plurality of disk drives (11A, 11B) secured to a single printed circuit board (13), and a connector (14) with at least one input/output interface portion (22). In some aspects of the invention, the disk drives are ATA disk drives or Serial ATA disk drives. In other aspects of the invention, the disk drive carrier includes a single connector. In other aspects of the invention, the connector includes a bus portion (21), and in others, the bus portion (21) includes at least one I2C bus. Other aspects of the invention include non-volatile memory (15), power controlled circuitry (16), LEDs (23A, 23B, 24) and electrode-static discharge strips (17A, 17B, 17C). The present invention provides such a disk drive carrier compatible with industry-standard rack systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shockproof device of a hard disk drive in which a plurality of springs are mounted on slide rail seats at sides of hard disk drive of notebook computer in order that the hard disk drive is disposed in a hanging arrangement. Besides, the inner five sides (except the hard disk drive extraction side) of the hard disk drive housing are provided with shock-absorbing blocks for improving the shockproof function. In addition, two sides of the hard disk drive housing are fitted with the slide rail seats for the convenient extraction of the hard disk drive. Accordingly, a better shockproof effect is achieved.

Abstract: A data storage subsystem capable of withstanding substantial non-operating shocks and other rough handling includes a pads configured to mate to a portion of the periphery of a data storage device to provide impact energy absorption and well as noise reduction and thermal dissipation. A flex circuit connects the data storage device to a connection, and includes a plurality of slits to permit the flex circuit to have flexibility in two dimensions.
