    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the inertia latch mechanism with high reliability to be capable of mounting even on a thin structive disk drive device. SOLUTION: The inertia latch mechanism 7 is equipped with a latch lever 74 oscillatable around an oscillating axis 73 from an opening position to a latch position and an inertia lever 72 oscillatable around an oscillating axis 71 with a larger moment of inertia than the latch lever 74. When a counterclockwise impact is given to an actuator 22, the inertia lever 72 is oscillated counterclockwise, and the latch lever 74 is pulled by a 1st engagement projection 81 in a 1st engagement part 85 to move the latch lever 74 into a latch position. Then, when a clockwise impact is given to the actuator 22, the inertia lever 72 is oscillated clockwise, and the latch lever 74 is pushed by a 2nd engagement projection 82 in a 2nd engagement part 86 to collide against a crush stop 5 so as to latch the reversely oscillated actuator 22.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe and a data storage device, requiring less power consumption. SOLUTION: The data storage device includes a storage medium for storing data in a form of marks, and at least one probe for scanning this storage medium, and the storage medium can be included in the substrate. The probe contains a cantilever including a terminal, where this terminal functions as an electrical contact to mechanically be fixed on a probe retention structure, which can be a common frame of the data storage device during probe operation. The probe also contains a support structure, to which it mechanically connects the terminal directly or via a hinge. This support structure extends so as to separate from the terminal. The end section having a nano-scaled vertex is provided. A beam structure, which contains a heat resistor, is installed at the end section of the support structure. This beam structure is thinner than the area of the support structure, directly contacting the beam structure in at least the direction parallel to the shaft of the end section.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a retract circuit capable of dealing with miniaturization and power supply voltage reduction. SOLUTION: Concerning a retract circuit 13, while a device power source Vcc is turned on, a retract capacitor Cr is charged by a boost voltage Vup (=3×Vcc) generated by a booster circuit 26. When the device power source Vcc is turned off and a voice coil motor (VCM) driver 12 stops operating, a power source OFF is detected by a power source OFF detecting circuit 21 and retract delay time Td is provided by a retract delay circuit 22. After the lapse of the retract delay time Td from the OFF of the device power source, switch circuits 24 and 25 are turned on by a retract driving circuit 23, the retract capacitor Cr charged with the boost voltage Vup is discharged, a discharging current is supplied to a voice coil 5a and a head assembly is retracted.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joning method enabling the joining of a flex cable and a circuit board which cannot be embodied with ordinary connectors on account of their dimensional restrictions in a hard disk device of an extremely small size/thin type and the hard disk device utilizing the same. SOLUTION: This joining method is the method for joining the flex cable 3 for transmitting the input and output signals to a head formed in a device body 1 of a hard disk and the circuit board 11. A groove part 2 is formed in the device body 1 and the connector 12 consisting of a projecting part of a shape insertable into the formed groove part 2 is formed at the circuit board 11. The joining part of the flex cable 3 and the connector 12 of the circuit board 11 are inserted into the groove part 2. The terminal 13 of the connector 12 and the terminal 4 of the joining part of the flex cable 3 are joined. The hard disk device has the joining part utilizing the joining method described above.

    Abstract: A storage device and a method for scanning a storage medium. A storage medium for storing data in the form of marks is scanned by an array of probes for mark detecting purposes in a scanning mode. The storage medium has fields with each field to be scanned by an associated one of the probes. At least one of the fields has marks representing operational data for operating the scanning mode. Scanning parameters are computed from the operational data and the scanning mode is adjusted according to the computed parameters.
