Structure Or Manufacture Of A Head With More Than One Gap For Erasing, Recording Or Reproducing On The Same Track (g9b/5.104 Takes Precedence [n: In Thin Film Structures G9b/5.077]) {g11b 5/265} Patents (Class G9B/5.068)
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a recording head includes a main pole formed of a soft magnetic material, a write shield pole formed of a soft magnetic material and on a trailing side of the main pole with a write gap, and side shields on both sides of the main pole in a track width direction and including nonmagnetic cavities formed of a nonmagnetic material in inner portions of the side shields. The side shields includes surfaces formed of a soft magnetic material and configured to be between a distal end portion of the main pole and the nonmagnetic cavity and between the recording medium and the nonmagnetic cavity.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a recording head includes a main pole, a trailing shield including a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, and configured to form together with the main pole a first magnetic core, a leading shield including a first connecting portion connected to the main pole through a magnetic material and an end portion opposing to the end portion of the main pole through a non-magnetic material, and configured to form together with the main pole a second magnetic core, and first and second coils wound around the first and second magnetic cores, and a connection terminal configured to flow a current through the main pole, non-magnetic conductive layer, and trailing shield.
Abstract: A magnetic head in one embodiment includes a pole; a first write gap in the pole; a first coil for generating a magnetic flux across the first write gap; a second write gap in the pole having at least a portion thereof aligned with the first write gap in a direction parallel to a direction of media travel thereover; and a second coil for generating a magnetic flux across the second write gap, the second coil being addressable independently of the first coil. A method in one embodiment includes forming a first write coil; forming a first write gap; forming a second write gap; forming a second coil for generating a magnetic flux across the second write gap, the second coil being addressable independently of the first coil; and forming one or more write poles, wherein a write pole region adjacent the first and second write gaps is formed concurrently.

Abstract: A wiring structure includes: positive signal wires configured to transmit a positive signal of differential signals; and negative signal wires configured to transmit a negative signal of the differential signals. The positive signal wires and the negative signal wires are interleaved. A first gap length and a second gap length are different from each other where the first gap length is a gap length between a first wire being an outermost wire among the positive signal wires and the negative signal wires and a first adjacent wire that is adjacent to the first wire, where the second gap length is a gap length between a second wire that is located inside among the positive signal wires and the negative signal wires and a second adjacent wire that is adjacent to the second wire. The second wire and the second adjacent wire are different from the first wire.
Abstract: A perpendicular write head, the write head having an air bearing surface, the write head including a magnetic write pole, wherein at the air bearing surface, the write pole has a trailing side, a leading side that is opposite the trailing side, and first and second sides; side gaps, wherein the side gaps are proximate the write pole along the first and second side edges; and side shields proximate the side gaps, wherein the side shields have gap facing surfaces and include at least one set of alternating layers of magnetic and non-magnetic materials, wherein only one kind of material makes up the gap facing surfaces at the air bearing surfaces.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a magnetic recording head includes a main magnetic pole adapted for generating a magnetic field for recording information on a magnetic disk, a magnetic shield member adapted for suppressing spreading of a magnetic field output from the main magnetic pole through a non-magnetic insulation member, a side top gap, a side bottom gap, and a trailing gap. The side top gap is less than two times the trailing gap, the side bottom gap is larger than the side top gap, and the magnetic shield member is positioned on a sliding surface of the magnetic recording head and includes a trailing portion positioned adjacent the trailing gap in the trailing direction and at least one side portion positioned adjacent the side bottom gap in the cross-track direction. Other heads and systems are also presented according to various embodiments.

Abstract: A magnetic head and method for making same which can be used for formatting or writing servo tracks or data on a tape. In one example, the magnetic head may include a magnetic thin film layer; at least one gap defined in the magnetic thin film layer; and at least one secondary sub-gap structure within the magnetic thin film layer, the at least one gap positioned proximate the at least one secondary sub-gap structure. Through the use of the secondary sub-gap structure, the gap (i.e. a record gap or channel) can be made thinner than in conventional heads.

Abstract: A thin film magnetic recording head is fabricated by forming a substrate from opposing ferrite blocks which have a ceramic member bonded between them. This structure is then diced to form a plurality of columns, wherein each column has a ferrite/ceramic combination. Each column represents a single channel in the completed head. A block of ceramic is then cut to match the columned structure and the two are bonded together. The bonded structure is then cut or ground until a head is formed, having ceramic disposed between each channel. A ferrite back-gap is then added to each channel, minimizing the reluctance of the flux path. The thin film is patterned on the head to optimize various channel configurations.
Abstract: A device for recording on and/or reading from a magnetic medium with magnetic tracks, including plural magnetic heads each including a pair of polar parts separated by an amagnetic head gap with a given azimuth angle. The pairs of polar parts are distributed on fixed supports, the head gaps of the pairs of polar parts on a particular support all having the same azimuth angle. At least two supports include pairs of polar parts with different azimuth angles, each support having a given tilt angle from the magnetic tracks.
