| 20080247091 | Stand-alone quasi-static tester - A quasi-static tester is disclosed. The quasi static tester comprises: a mount configured to fix a head gimbal assembly in a given position; a camera configured to observe the head gimbal assembly when the head gimbal assembly is fixed in the mount, wherein the camera is used to position the head gimbal assembly in an observation position; and a magnet for performing quasi-static testing of the head gimbal assembly when the head gimbal assembly is fixed in the mount, wherein the observation position and a testing position in a uniform area of the magnet are a predetermined distance apart. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090113738 | HEADSTACK LOCATOR ASSEMBLY FOR TESTING MAGNETIC HEADS - A headstack locator assembly for locating and fixing a headstack on a spinstand and which mitigates the aforementioned prior art limitations. The headstack locator assembly includes a headstack locator received on a fixed locator, The headstack locator connects to a headstack, while the fixed locator is permanently secured to a spinstand A vacuum is used to clamp the headstack locator to the fixed locator for testing of the headstack. Upon test completion, the headstack locator is released from the fixed locator by applying positive air pressure to the assembly. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090128164 | PHASE FREQUENCY DISTORTION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - Disclosed is a method of measuring frequency distortions characteristics of a device under test, said device configured convert an input signal in an input frequency range to an output signal in a different output frequency range. The method includes, for each test frequency f | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100257747 | Pneumatically Controlled Coupling Assembly - A headstack locator assembly for locating and fixing a headstack on a spinstand and which mitigates the aforementioned prior art limitations. The headstack locator assembly includes a headstack locator received on a fixed locator. The headstack locator connects to a headstack, while the fixed locator is permanently secured to a spinstand. A vacuum is used to clamp the headstack locator to the fixed locator for testing of the headstack. Upon test completion, the headstack locator is released from the fixed locator by applying positive air pressure to the assembly. More generally, an apparatus and methods for generally locating and reversibly, pneumatically coupling various elements to each other. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110141608 | MAGNETIC DISK CENTERING METHOD AND SYSTEM - A system and method are described for aligning a data axis of one or more circular data-bearing tracks on an annular surface region of a magnetic media-bearing disk, with a spin axis of a spindle of a spinstand or a disk drive. The data axis is perpendicular to the surface region of the disk and the data tracks are concentric with respect to a data axis. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100274816 | CORRELATED MEDIA FOR DISTRIBUTED SOURCES - A method and a system of associating correlating metadata with data assets, such as video and audio files, so that the files are rendered as a combination presentation are described herein. The system includes a client a media capture device that provides on board storage, network connectivity, preprocessing, preview buffering, file management, and an eventing system. The method includes capturing the media, associating the media with other media via an identifier, and supports associating correlating metadata prior to time of media capture and during media capture on the capture device itself, and after media capture either on a local machine or on an on-line group. When the combination presentation is presented, additional associated advertising and annotations may be provided upon rendering. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110018998 | CORRELATED MEDIA SOURCE MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE CONTROL - Response personnel may be dispatched based on nature of the data assets received. A data asset that is captured by a user device is received, the data asset includes capture time and date data. The data asset is reviewed for an event that warrants dispatch of a responder. The responder is dispatched to the location of the event when the capture time and date data indicates the event occurred within a predetermined time of a current time. | 01-27-2011 |
