Patent
Slider with temperature responsive transducer positioning
TL;DR: In this paper, a transducer is mounted on a sliding window of an aerodynamically supported slider with an air bearing surface, and a temperature sensor is employed to measure the slider operating temperatures and provide a temperature sensitive input to the temperature control circuit.
Patent
Illumination agnostic solar panel
Dallas W. Meyer,J Berg Lowell,Forrest C. Meyer,Raymond W. Knight,Steven E. Wheeler,John P. Novotny +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the photovoltaic cells are configured such that, in operation, current flows substantially uni-directionally through the plurality of photovolastic cells between the first row and the last row.
Patent
Head with active fly height control
Dallas W. Meyer,Mark J. Schaenzer,Zhu Feng,Chung Yuang Shih,Chiu-Shing Frank Poon,Vidyadhara K. Gubbi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for evaluating surface characteristics of a recording disc prior to incorporation into a disc drive is presented, which includes a glide test head supportable over the disc, the test head having a negative-pressure air bearing slider and a contact sensor which outputs a signal when the fly test head contacts a feature of the disc surface.
Patent
Magnetic media with permanently defined non-magnetic tracks and servo-patterns
TL;DR: In this article, a magnetic medium is modified at the track boundaries, so the grains of the magnetic thin film permanently take on a relatively non-magnetic structure as compared to the grains within the tracks.
Patent
Highly efficient solar arrays
TL;DR: In this article, a solar energy system includes multiple PV modules, multiple reflectors, and a racking assembly. And each of the reflectors is positioned opposite a corresponding one of the PV modules.
