Edge strengthened substrate of a data storage disk and method for fabricating same
TL;DR: In this paper, an edge strengthened substrate of a data storage disk and a method for fabricating the same is described, where a strengthening agent is applied to selected portions of a disk-shaped glass substrate to increase the overall strength of the glass substrate.
Patent
Method and apparatus for texturing zones of a magnetic disk
TL;DR: In this paper, a coarse texture is applied over the fine texture in the landing zone without forming a step in elevation at the boundary, and a free abrasive slurry is introduced to pads carried by the tools.
Patent
Flexible circuit magnetic core winding for a core member
TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible circuit is inserted into the window of an integrally formed core member for a magnetic or ferrite head assembly, which is easily adapted to an automated assembly line.
Patent
Tray for retaining disks
TL;DR: In this paper, a tray for retaining disks includes first and second longitudinally extending, spaced apart, parallel rods, each of which has at least one notch formed therein for receiving a respective support member.
