20090117787 | ELECTRICAL CONTACT ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A SLEEVE MEMBER - A low cost crimpable and sealable contact assembly including a contact member and a tubular sleeve member. The contact member is capable of being manually continuity crimped to a tip of an electrically conductive core of an electrically insulated wire. The tubular sleeve member is then deformed to hermetically seal it to the insulation on the wire, and the contact member. The hermetic seal protects the core from corrosion. This hermetic seal is particularly important where the core comprises aluminum. Separating the crimping and sealing into separate operations permits them to be performed manually. The sleeve member may be comprised of polymeric material, or it may be metallic. The metallic embodiments may be mechanically or electromagnetically deformed. The polymeric sleeve members may, in addition, be heat shrunk. | 05-07-2009 |
20100107721 | Contact Magazine Loader For Hand Held Crimper - A contact magazine loader for guiding the insertion of individual electrical contacts into a crimping section of a crimping tool. A magazine is adapted to be placed in removable and rotatable engagement with a hand-held crimping tool. The magazine is approximately cylindrical, has a plurality of channels evenly dispersed around the radial periphery of the magazine, and is preloadable with electrical contacts. Each preloaded electrical contact is positioned within an individual insert casing. Each insert casing is adapted to being linearly slideably received into one of the channels. As a shuttle assembly is moved into compressed configuration, an insert casing guides the preloaded electrical contact into the crimping section of the hand-held crimper. A trigger assembly allows a user, with a single movement, to cause the shuttle assembly to return to its released configuration, and to rotate the magazine to axially align a subsequent casing with the crimping section of the hand held crimper. | 05-06-2010 |

20080310054 | Plurality of non-magnetic dampers on a voice coil yoke arm - A plurality of non-magnetic dampers on a voice coil yoke arm for reducing low frequency vibration in a hard disk drive is disclosed. One embodiment provides housing and at least one disk coupled with the housing. In addition, an actuator is coupled to the housing, the actuator having a coil region with a voice coil and a plurality of voice coil yoke arms. At least one of a plurality of non-magnetic dampers is also coupled with each of the plurality of voice coil yoke arms and not with the voice coil. In so doing, the plurality of non-magnetic dampers are able to damp low frequency actuator coil torsion and coil bending resonances. | 12-18-2008 |
20090002894 | Outer actuator arm constrained layer dampers - Outer arm constrained layer dampers to improve actuator dynamics are disclosed. One embodiment provides a housing and disk pack mounted to the housing and having a plurality of disks that are rotatable relative to the housing. In addition, an actuator is coupled to the housing, the actuator having a plurality of suspensions arms for reaching over the plurality of disks. A first damper is coupled with an outside (or inside) portion of a top outside suspension arm of the plurality of suspensions arms. In addition, a second damper is coupled with an outside (or inside) portion of a bottom suspension arm of the plurality of suspensions arms. In so doing, vibration modes involving deformation of the top suspension arm and the bottom suspension arm are damped. | 01-01-2009 |
20090141404 | Flex cable assembly damper - A flex cable assembly for a head stack assembly of a hard disk drive comprises a flex cable for conducting data signals from the head stack assembly to a connector. The flex cable comprises a dynamic loop section between a termination for the head stack assembly and the connector. A constrained layer damper is attached adjacently to an area of the flex cable that is configured to receive the coupler. The constrained layer damper extends into the dynamic loop section of the flex cable. | 06-04-2009 |

20090086987 | Method and System for Removal of Clicks and Noise in a Redirected Audio Stream - There is provided a method of redirecting an audio stream from a first audio endpoint to a second audio endpoint in a computer operating system. The method includes directing the audio stream from a client application through a first audio resource stack to the first audio endpoint; creating an audio endpoint bridge to provide a path for the audio stream from the first audio resource stack through a second audio resource stack connected to the second audio endpoint; and redirecting the audio stream to the second audio endpoint using the audio endpoint bridge. The audio endpoint bridge can be created by forming a bridging application so as to activate the second audio stack. The bridging application can be hooked into a Windows audio engine in the second audio resource stack. The bridge can be used to intercept an audio stream and remove noise from it. Additionally, a specific type of noise with sporadic intermittent spikes has been observed in this audio framework with certain Bluetooth headsets. A system and method is described for removing this specific type of noise. | 04-02-2009 |
