Abstract: A disk drive including firmware for overcoming stiction and breaking free the heads of a disk drive which may adhere to the disk surface when the disk is at rest. Upon start-up of the disk drive, if stiction at the head/disk interface occurs, the voltage to the spindle motor and/or actuator motor may be rapidly fluctuated so as to cause a pulsing of the spindle motor and/or actuator motor. Pulsing both the spindle motor and actuator motor creates forces in a plurality of radial directions to allow the head(s) to break free from the disk(s) in the direction of least resistance. Moreover, as the resonant frequency of the spindle motor varies depending on the number of heads that are stuck, the firmware pulses over a range of frequencies including the various resonant frequencies of the spindle motor corresponding to various numbers of heads stuck.

Abstract: A disk drive, comprising a storage medium having data tracks for storing data, a spindle motor mounting the storage medium for rotation, an interactive element for reading information from and writing information on the data tracks of the storage medium and an actuator responsive to control signals, mounting the interactive element for motion to selectively position the interactive element relative to preselected data tracks of the storage medium and to move the interactive element from a first data track to a second data track in response to the control signals. The interactive element is arranged and configured to fly above the storage medium. Moreover, control electronics are coupled to the actuator for generating the control signals to cause the actuator to move the interactive element from the first data track to the second data track. The control signals include velocity control signals generated as a function of the number of data tracks to be crossed from the first data track to the second data track, and the location of the first data track relative to the second data track. The velocity control signals control the actuator to move at preselected velocities, including a maximum velocity.

Abstract: A method is shown for testing a magnetic disk to be used in a disk drive. The method includes the steps of measuring a height profile of an outer radial edge of the disk (22), using the profile to determine a slope value for each of a pair of radial segments (54) of the disk, calculating a difference value between the slope values of the pair, comparing the difference value to a preselected threshold difference value and indicating when the difference value is equal to or less than the threshold difference value. The threshold value indicates an outer most diameter of the disk where fly height operation for a head (46, 48) is still stable.

Abstract: An apparatus that compensates for the asymmetry and the baseline shift in the signal generated by a magnetoresistive head. The apparatus stores a first correction factor for the baseline shift, a second correction factor for correcting the amplitude of positive portion of the signal and a third correction factor for correcting the amplitude of negative portion of the signal. The first correction factor for correcting for baseline shift is added to the signal generated by the magnetoresistive head to generate a baseline corrected signal. The baseline corrected signal is then monitored for positive and negative excursion from the baseline and the positive excursions are multiplied by the second correction factor and the negative excursions are multiplied by the third correction factor for generating a compensated signal.

Abstract: A speed control system is disclosed wherein a brushless DC motor and a magneto resistive encoder are able to rotate a motor at arbitrarily low speeds. The motor is able to rotate at low speeds by having a filtered signal generated by an encoder applied to its inputs. The encoder is coupled to a series of filters which remove DC level and harmonic distortions from the resulting encoder signal. These filtered signals are then applied to the motor to control motor rotation speed.

Abstract: In liquid disk drives, liquid bearing materials based on hydrocarbon liquids, halogenated liquids and mixtures thereof are used at the head-disk interface. Additives such as antioxidants and boundary layer lubricants may be incorporated to enhance oxidative stability and lubricity. The liquid bearing materials have relatively low viscosities and non-Newtonian flow characteristics so as to reduce drag at the read/write head compared with Newtonian liquid bearing materials.
