Filed:

Jul 31, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/126611

Norman Kermit Frater - San Jose CA
Gary Lee Heitkamp - Morgan Hill CA
Hsuehmin Li - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G11B 5127

US Classification:

2960303

Abstract:

A head suspension assembly including a load beam having predefined gluing regions for gluing a bundle of wires thereto. For each gluing region, the load beam is partially-etched with the pattern that includes a plurality of grooves. Preferably, the pattern within the gluing region includes a set of parallel grooves. The gluing regions can be formed at very little cost because partial etching can be performed simultaneously etching other features on the load beam. Advantageously, the gluing regions provide enhanced adhesion between the wires and the load beam which reduces the possibility of failure during manufacture, thereby reducing costs.

Abstract:

A charging device includes a charging assembly for imparting a charge on a mobile device, a housing for receiving the mobile device to be charged, and for defining a cavity therein for housing the charging assembly. There is at least one air intake port in the housing for allowing air to be drawn into the cavity and at least one air exhaust port in the housing for allowing air to be exhausted from the cavity. There is an ionic wind generator, for generating an airstream to draw air into the housing through the at least one air intake port, through the cavity, and push air out of the housing through the at least one air exhaust port. The ionic wind generator comprises an emitter and a collector, such that when a voltage is applied to the emitter, air ionizes around the emitter and is drawn toward the collector, thereby creating the airstream.
