Flying-Type Disk Drive Slider With Wear Pad

View page
US Patent:
6707631, Mar 16, 2004
Filed:
Mar 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/528686
Inventors:
Quinn J. Haddock - Longmont CO
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 2102
US Classification:
360 75, 3602347, 3602358, 3602363, 2960303, 29 9001
Abstract:
A flying slider is disclosed for a rigid disk drive application. The slider includes a wear pad disposed at least substantially at its trailing edge on a lower surface thereof. An appropriate transducer(s) is typically embedded within this wear pad. One or more air bearing surfaces are disposed on the lower surface of the slider as well for allowing the slider to fly relative to the disk. At least one of these air bearing surfaces is disposed close to this wear pad, but is separated therefrom by a recess which is of a depth so as to not have the wear pad function as an air bearing surface. On the initial operation of the disk drive with the described slider therein, the uplifting forces applied to the slider by the noted air bearing surfaces are insufficient to dispose the wear pad above the glide avalanche of the disk or to fly the slider such that the wear pad is disposed above the glide height. Therefore, the wear pad is burnished in the initial operation of the disk drive and typically prior to releasing the disk drive for distribution. Burnishing of the wear pad continues until a small space develops between the wear pad and the disk (e. g.

Hindering Ptp In A Hard Disk

View page
US Patent:
6717759, Apr 6, 2004
Filed:
Feb 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/076592
Inventors:
Genevieve Himle - Boulder CO
Quinn Haddock - Longmont CO
Davide Guarisco - Palo Alto CA
Erhard Schreck - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 2736
US Classification:
360 31, 360 46
Abstract:
A hard disk is provided with tools for limiting the duty cycle (a group of variations of load with time). The write current is controlled by, e. g. , limiting the duration of a given write cycle. The write cycle may involve writing data continuously along adjacent portions of the disk media (e. g. , writing of data in adjacent segments of a track in the outer diameter (OD) region of a platter), with an intermittent duty write current.

Monitoring Of Phenomena Indicative Of Ptp In A Hard Disk And Controlling The Burnishing Of Heads

View page
US Patent:
7023632, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
Jun 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/173561
Inventors:
Curtis Egan - Thornton CO, US
Quinn Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 27/36
US Classification:
360 31
Abstract:
Tools are provided to identify undesired pole tip protrusion (PTP) on a write portion of a read/write head in a hard disk. Such tools may be incorporated in the hard disk. A corrective action arrangement performs a corrective action in response to the identification of an undesired pole tip protrusion. The corrective action may comprise burnishing of pole tips of a write portion of the read/write head. An asperity read signal condition monitoring circuit monitors asperity conditions from the read signal. The asperity condition may be a high fly write condition, or it may be a thermal asperity condition. A PTP determining circuit determines when a monitored condition is indicative of an undesired PTP condition. A PTP test write cycle may be caused, during which the monitoring circuit monitors either during or right after the PTP test write cycle.

Read Error Recovery Method And Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
7023645, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
May 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/430366
Inventors:
Bruce Emo - Longmont CO, US
Quinn Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 21/02
US Classification:
360 75, 360 31, 360 71
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for recovering data in a disk drive following a read error. At least a portion of the actuator arm tip is heated. Thermal expansion reduces the read-head-to-disk spacing, increasing the likelihood of success when a re-read of the data is attempted. In one approach, a heater is operatively coupled to the tip. In one aspect, a write head is provided with write current in order to heat the tip. Data which may be modified or overwritten when providing write current to the write head is preferably read and buffered prior to the write operation, for later re-writing to the disk.

Flying-Type Disk Drive Slider With Self-Blending Contact Pad

View page
US Patent:
7038884, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Feb 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/077477
Inventors:
Michael McNeil - Nederland CO, US
Carolyn R. Girvin - Boulder CO, US
Quinn J. Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 21/21
G11B 17/32
G11B 5/60
US Classification:
3602357, 3602371
Abstract:
The invention is generally directed to a slider that is particularly suited for dynamic load/unload disk drive designs. This slider desirably addresses potential disk damage associated with contact between sharp edges of the slider of the disk drive and the data storage surface of a corresponding disk. Any appropriate type/configuration of a disk drive may benefit from performing read/write operations utilizing the slider of the present invention. Generally, this slider includes at least one air bearing surface which enables the slider to “fly” above the read/write surface of the disk, and at least one self-blending contact pad disposed on the lower surface of the slider to reduce the potential for contact between any portion of the slider other than the self-blending contact pad(s) and the corresponding read/write surface of the disk.

Head-Disk Interface Preconditioning Using Write Current Before Servo Track Write

View page
US Patent:
7088532, Aug 8, 2006
Filed:
Apr 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/124615
Inventors:
Douglas Krajnovich - Santa Clara CA, US
Quinn Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 5/02
G11B 21/02
US Classification:
360 25, 360 75
Abstract:
Disk drive preconditioning allows the head-disk interface to be burnished or worn so that head-disk interference is reduced or eliminated before servo track writing. The head is positioned closer to the disk than the normal fly height during a preconditioning sweep and then returns to the normal fly height during servo track writing.

Method For Flying A Disk Drive Slider Having A High Pressure Micropad Abs

View page
US Patent:
7184244, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Apr 13, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/822922
Inventors:
Quinn J. Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Daniel R. Ohlsen - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G11B 5/60
US Classification:
3602357, 3602363
Abstract:
A slider for a disk drive is disclosed. In one embodiment, the slider includes an air bearing pad that contains a read/write transducer. This particular air bearing pad is small. High pressures are exerted on this small air bearing pad while the slider is flying in vertically spaced to its corresponding data storage disk. Pressures in excess of 500 psi may exist on this air bearing pad. In any case, this air bearing pad provides a significant portion of the total lifting forces for flying the slider in vertically spaced relation to its corresponding data storage disk or the like. As such, any expansion of the air bearing pad toward the data storage disk during read/write operations does not result in any significant loss of fly height.

Flying-Type Disk Drive Slider With Micropad

View page
US Patent:
7193805, Mar 20, 2007
Filed:
Nov 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/702927
Inventors:
Quinn Haddock - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
Maxtor Corporation - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
G11B 21/02
G11B 21/20
G11B 5/127
B21C 37/30
G11B 17/00
US Classification:
360 75, 3602357, 3602358, 3602363, 360 69, 360 70, 360 721, 29 9001, 2960303
Abstract:
A slider (′) with a reduced fly height is disclosed. The slider includes a small micropad () on the lower surface (′) of the slider (′). A sensor region () of a head () that is carried by the slider (′) protrudes into the micropad (). The fluid pressure acting on an air bearing surface system () on the lower surface (′) of the slider (′) is insufficient to dispose the entire lower surface (′) of the slider (′) in spaced relation to its corresponding disk () during the initial portion of the very first operation of the disk drive. The micropad () is thereby burnished, and continues to burnish until the air bearing surface system () assumes a position relative to the disk () that allows the fluid pressure acting on the air bearing surface system () to dispose the entire lower surface (′) of the slider (′) in spaced relation to the disk ().
