    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a magnetic head, a head gimbal assembly, a hard disk drive, and a method for processing a magnetic head. The method comprises irradiating at a fixed point proximal to the read/write part with a laser irradiation device until the read head and the write head are thermally expanded; orientating air bearing surfaces of a plurality of magnetic heads forming a magnetic strip toward a lapping surface of a lapping device after laser irradiation, holding the air bearing surfaces in place, lapping with the lapping device until the air bearing surfaces are coplanar; and disassembling the magnetic strip to obtain a lapped magnetic head. Through laser heating induced compensation, the heights of lapped read head and write head of the magnetic head meet their respective target values, ensuring the normal reading and writing of the storage medium of the magnetic disk.

    Abstract: A magnetic data storage fixed hard disk drive using stationary Microhead Array Chips in place of conventional Flying-Heads and Rotary Voice-Coil Actuators or other Servo-Tracking mechanisms. Every Microhead Array Chip has a minimum of one thousand or maximum of four billion individual and addressable microhead read and write data-transducers built into it. The hard disk drive unit assembly that uses the Microhead Array Chip approach will have within its assembly as few as two or as many as twenty-eight installed Microhead Array Chips. The Microhead Array Chip hard disk drive unit assemblies will have at least one storage disk-platter with two disk-platter data-surfaces containing a multiplicity of concentric data-tracks that rotates at a substantially constant angular velocity. While Microhead Array Chips are made stationary by specially designed circuit boards, that positions a Microhead Array Chip over each of two data-surfaces of every disk-platter within the hard disk drive assembly. The total number of microheads within a stationary positioned Microhead Array Chip's Microhead Array is what determines the total number of available tracks on and across a data-platter's data-surface (i.e., 65,000 microheads would equal 65,000 cylinder/tracks).

    Abstract: A high density fixed head disk drive is shown. Small track width and small inter-track spacing is accomplished by small head-to-media distances, which are maintained by fabricating both read/write heads and demultiplexer circuitry on a single planer substrate constituting a head mount disk. Spacing between the head mount disk and media disk is controlled by placing the head mount disk on the periphery of annular housings that are slightly thicker than the media disk and thus controlling the spacing there between. Close inter-track spacing is provided by angularly offsetting radial groups of read/write heads on the head mount disk. Construction of a head mount disk and media disk of the same material provides physical thermal tracking thus minimizing track misalignment problems due to temperature variations. Additionally, shorter duration writing pulses are employed on outer tracks to increase information density per unit area of the media disk.In an alternate embodiment, head-to-media separation is eliminated by fabricating heads that extend to make contact with an opposing media disk. Contact is maintained with the media disk by angling the lash heads in the direction of media disk travel and flexing them against the same.

    Abstract: A thin-film magnetic head for writing information in and reading information from a track of a magnetic recording medium in which the head comprises a magnetically permeable yoke having two limbs between which a writing/reading gap is formed. In a construction in which the limbs of the yoke overlap each other at the area of the writing/reading gap, they are bridged by a magneto-resistive reading element at a location remote from the reading/writing gap. A conductor is provided in some forms of the invention which extends intermediate the laterally overlapping limbs. This conductor is utilized for producing a writing flux in the magnetic yoke. Another conductor may be provided which extends through a window or opening in the yoke, which is remote from the reading/writing gap. This other conductor is utilized during writing operation to maximize efficiency.
