International Classification:

G11B 15/04

US Classification:

360 60, 360 31, 3602664

Abstract:

This application discloses a hard disk drive using a self-resonant frequency band of a Voice Coil Motor far above its operational frequency band to predict Rapid Off Track events before its head stack assembly can deliver the disruption to the slider writing a track. A circuit board and/or an integrated circuit are disclosed in various embodiments to predict the ROT events using the self-resonant frequency band and/or to respond to the prediction to suppress the slider writing.

Filed:

Dec 14, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/012466

Inventors:

Nui Chong - San Jose CA, US
Chun Jiang - San Jose CA, US
Loc Nguyen - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

H01L 23/62

US Classification:

257355000

Abstract:

A diode is comprised of a doped region formed with a first dopant of a first conductivity type. In addition, the diode further comprises a substrate doped with a second dopant of a second conductivity type opposite of the first conductivity type. The lightly doped substrate, instead of a well, abuts the doped region for minimizing a junction capacitance of the diode. Such a diode is especially advantageous for ESD (electro-static discharge) protection of high speed integrated circuits.

International Classification:

A61H 23/02

Abstract:

A massaging garment system includes an electronic device that may be manipulated. A plurality of garments is provided and each of the garments is worn on a selected part of a user's body. Each of the garments has a first wall and a second wall that is spaced from the first wall to define a massage space in each of the garments. A plurality of massage units is provided. Each of the massage units is positioned within the massage space of an associated one of the garments. Thus, each of the massage units may massage the user's body thereby facilitating each of the massage units to relieve pain. Each of the massage units is in electrical communication with the electronic device. Thus, the electronic device controls operational parameters of the plurality of massage units.
