Abstract: Apparatus for producing a line source of a desired shape from a light source (10) such as an excimer laser comprising means (12,14,16) for directing the light source along a predetermined path to a cylindrical lens (18) positioned to produce a vitural line image S' having uniform intensity along its length at a first location. However, the image is intercepted by a cylindrical mirror(20) inclined at an angle so that the beam is transformed into a curved shape and directed onto a quartz diffuser (22). This apparatus produces a curved self-luminous distribution having uniform intensity over its length. In a specific embodiment, the diffuser is a directional diffuser.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a slider for mounting a magnetic head within a magnetic disk storage system is described. The process includes the steps of isolating particular areas of the slider using a mask, and directing a stream of abrasive particles through apertures in the mask onto the particular areas. This has the effect of inducing compressive stress in the slider wherein its curvature may be controlled.

Abstract: A data recording disk drive a low-flying air-bearing slider that is also able to be in contact and near contact with the lubricant film on the disk. The slider has a front air-bearing surface in the form of a pair of equally-spaced air-bearing pads 25, 27, a rear air-bearing pad 29, and a central nonair-bearing recessed surface 28 which separates the front and rear air-bearing pads. The two front pads have a surface area greater than that of the rear pad and thus provide a positive pitch up of the slider. This causes the rear pad to also be pitched up so that air can flow beneath the rear pad to generate an air bearing in the rear portion of the slider. The presence of the central nonair-bearing region eliminates any lift in the central part of the slider, which allows for the low-flying height. The flying height of the rear pad of the slider above the disk is controlled by the width of the rear air-bearing pad. The rear pad has its leading edge 31 wider than its trailing edge 33 so that it is able to withstand contact with the lubricant film on the disk, typically at the lower disk velocities near the disk inside diameter, without generating unacceptable drag forces or depleting the lubricant from the disk. The rear pad also has a skewed leading edge which compensates for skew of the slider to minimize the flying height variation from the disk inside diameter to outside diameter.

Abstract: A METHOD FOR MINIMIZING THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY HANDLING INDIVIDUAL THIN FILM ELEMENTS.THE METHOD DISCLOSED TEACHES FORMATION OF ROWS (44) OF COMPLETED SLIDERS (46,83) DEFINED BY ONE OR TWO METHODS: WAFER PROCESSING OR ROW PROCESSING TO FORM PARTIAL CUTS (41,42,61,78,81,91,92,101) BETWEEN DEVICE ELEMENTS. THE RESULTING PARTIAL CUTS PRESERVE THE ROW STRUCTURE AFTER FABRICATION, E.G., FOR INSPECTION AND PACKING, BUT ALLOW EASY SEPARATION OF THE COMPLETED SLIDERS JUST PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. (FIG. 4A)
