According to the first embodiment, an anchor member comprising a flat sheet portion and an extension portion and made of a sheet metal is disposed on the flat surface portion of the side surface of the carriage main body, and a flexible circuit board is wound on the anchor member and is, in this state, connected to the carriage. Therefore, a package area on the carriage side can be increased. According to the second embodiment, a control IC of a bare chip is packaged to a connection portion of the flexible circuit board and the carriage by a flip packaging method, and other chip components are packaged by a surface packaging technology. According to the first and second embodiments, the space at which the head IC, the servo IC and the peripheral circuits are disposed integratedly can be secured at the connection portion of the flexible circuit board with the carriage. Therefore, the noise at the time of read/write by the heads can be reduced and a transfer rate can be improved while heat radiation by the components can be taken into consideration.
Abstract:
A magnetic transducer head wherein confronting surfaces of a pair of magnetic core parts comprised of a ferromagnetic oxide material are notched, and the notch defining surfaces have metallic ferromagnetic layers supported thereby. The method of physical vapor deposition as known per se is used for forming these layers. The transducer coupling gap of each magnetic head is defined by an aligned pair of pole piece layers formed from the deposited metallic ferromagnetic material. The pole piece layers are inclined at a preset angle with respect to the plane of the coupling gap, and have extensions formed of the deposited metallic ferromagnetic material presenting bend contours between the pole piece layers and the lateral sides of the core parts.

Abstract:
A vertical recording magnetic head of a main pole magnetizing type is made of a magnetic core having a central leg and two side legs, while an electromagnetic coil is supported around the central leg for exciting the same. A non-magnetic member is secured to the magnetic core so as to cover the central leg and the two side legs, and a magnetic thin layer, which is operable as the main pole, is provided in the non-magnetic member at a position overlying the central leg of the magnetic core such that the thin layer extends vertically to a recording medium moved in contact with the non-magnetic member.
Abstract:
It has been found that, if a (negative) bias is applied to a substrate during the sputtering thereto of Alfesil, selective re-sputtering from the substrate film of aluminum and silicon will leave that film rich in iron and, attendantly, of higher saturation magnetization (17,000 gauss) than the starting material Alfesil (10,000 gauss). Such being the case, the invention provides that the sputtering of Alfesil-type material during the manufacture of a magnetic head be performed in two phases, first, while applying a bias of a first sense to a substrate to be sputtered upon, and, second, while applying a bias of different sense (e.g. a zero bias) to the substrate, thereby to cause a composite thin film to be formed on the substrate. The composition of the thin film in question is: 1. a (generally thin) region of material of high saturation magnetization layered with 2. a (generally thicker) region of lesser saturation magnetization.
Abstract:
A dual element magnetic transducer in which the thin film MR read element is transversely biased by flux in the air gap of the inductive write core generated by a bias current supplied to the write winding. Flux in the air gap biases the MR element because different integral portions of the MR element have a different spatial relationship to parallel opposing portions of the inductive core. The flux which would normally pass through the gap substantially normal to the sides of the core defining the gap now tends to follow the MR element along a direction normal or transverse to the media to a point where the distance between the MR element and the core is smaller than where it entered. By appropriate control of the bias current and the spatial relationships, a relatively efficient, simple to manufacture dual element magnetic transducer is provided.
Abstract:
A magnetic transducer assembly having separate core portions with keyways provided therein. The core portions are assembled to form a substantially closed magnetic circuit defining a transducing gap. The keyways form recesses which are contiguous with a transducer inner space provided by the assembled cores. The inner space and recesses are filled with a non-magnetic bonding material. The resulting bond improves the mechanical coupling between the core portions.
Abstract:
A magnetoresistant transducer for reading data present on the tracks of a multitrack magnetic carrier, comprises at least one magnetoresistant element perpendicular to the direction of travel of the data, and first and second magnetic screening means situated at either side of the element.The magnetoresistant transducer comprises deflecting means for deflecting the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the element. The deflecting means are situated between the latter and the first and second screening means to intercept and deflect the magnetic field lines transmitted by the data items on the track. The deflecting means includes a plurality of mutually parallel thin magnetic blades separated from each other by thin non-magnetic laminations the thickness of which is such that the magnetic coupling between two adjacent laminations is weak. The laminations and magnetoresistances are of anisotropic material and have their axes of easy and difficult magnetization parallel to each other.

The rotary encoder comprises a substrate having a surface disposed opposite to the rotary body and at least one magnetoresistive element formed on the surface of the substrate. The magnetoresistive element is formed on the substrate surface as an integral pattern including at least two portions extending substantially in the radial direction of the rotary body in a relation opposite to the magnetic information recorded portion of the rotary body, two lead connection terminal portions formed at the outer ends of the radially extending portions respectively, and a circumferentially extending portion interconnecting the radially extending portions at their ends, so as to form a single electrical signal path which passes both of the radially extending portions and terminates in the two lead connection terminal portions. These lead connection terminal portions are disposed outside of the outer peripheral edge of the rotary body.
