Abstract:
A hinge plate is bonded to a base plate and a load beam in a head suspension assembly. The load beam includes a wide section and a narrow section extending forward from the front end of the wide section. The head suspension assembly allows the load beam to have a narrower width based on the narrow section. The load beam is thus allowed to enjoy a reduced weight. The mass is reduced at a position distanced from the centerline of the load beam. This results in a reduction in the inertial force around the centerline in the load beam. The inventors have demonstrated that the resonance frequency of the first torsion mode is allowed to fall in a higher frequency range. The resonance of the head suspension assembly can be reduced.
Abstract:
Provided is an agent for treating or preventing urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary, incontinence which are associated with overactive bladder, a lower urinary tract disease such as interstitial cystitis and chronic prostatitis accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, and various diseases accompanied by pain. A novel azolecarboxamide derivative in which an azole ring such as thioazole or oxazole is bonded to a benzene ring, pyridine ring or pyrimidine ring through carboxamide was confirmed to have a potent trkA receptor-inhibitory activity and found to be an agent for treating or preventing lower urinary tract disease and various diseases accompanied by pain, which is excellent in efficacy and safety, and thus the present invention was accomplished.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a head suspension assembly for mounting a head slider on a suspension includes an irradiating light step, acquiring position information step and head slider mounting step. The irradiating light step is the step of irradiating light on a protective film and a marker at an incidence angle θ. The acquiring position information step is the step of acquiring position information of the marker by measuring reflected light from the protective film and that of the marker. The head slider mounting step is the step of mounting the head slider at a predetermined position of the suspension by using the difference of the intensity of reflected light from the protective film and that of the marker.
Abstract:
Lubricant on a rotating recording medium can attach to a slider, particularly on the pad formed in the proximity of the trailing edge. In the slider of this invention, lubricant is not accumulated in the vicinity of the trailing edge and can be drawn to the trailing edge and dispersed constantly. The head slider includes a center pad formed on an air bearing surface in the vicinity of the center of a trailing edge of the slider. A trailing pad is formed so as to bridge a trailing edge of the center pad and the trailing edge of the slider. The trailing pad is formed lower than a highest surface of the center pad and higher than a lowest surface of the slider.
Abstract:
This head gimbals assembly has a head slider, a flexure, and a load beam. The head slider has a head element and slider-side connection terminals. The flexure has a free end, a fixed end, a slider mounting portion and suspension-side connection terminals connected to the slider-side connection terminals. The load beam fixes a fixed end of the flexure on the side opposite to a flexure surface on which the head slider is mounted a connecting portion for interconnecting the suspension-side connection terminals and the slider mounting portion has higher resiliency than other portion of the connecting portion. According to a suspension in the present embodiment, a head gimbals assembly can be easily manufactured without wastefully discarding the suspension even when the desired evaluation result is not obtained because of problems in the head characteristics and the floating surface of the head slider.
