Filed:

Jan 31, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/773854

Inventors:

Yongsheng Liu - San Jose CA
Vincent Nguyen - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Avanex Corporation - Fremont CA

International Classification:

G02B 600

US Classification:

385140, 385 16, 385 33

Abstract:

An optical variable attenuator having a reflector in a first position, and a mechanical device for positioning the reflector from the first position to a second position is disclosed. The optical variable mechanical device comprises a first and second guide slots, a moving part, and a screw, where a first guide slot is placed parallel to the second guide slot. The moving part is placed in between and extending in the parallel direction to the first and second guide slots, the screw extending into and away from the moving part. Optionally, a lock pin is used to mount a moving part to avoid injecting any tip and tilt errors. The lock pin is guided by two machined slots on a main body of a variable optical attenuator. Alternatively, two springs loaded balls are positioned in tight contact of the guide slots on the move part, instead of a lock pin.

US Classification:

360 9702

Abstract:

Aerodynamic forces contribute to disk and actuator vibration leading to track positioning errors in storage devices such as hard disk drives. The invention provides a variety of dampening mechanisms and a method of dampening to alleviate these problems in single disk storage devices. This includes disk drives of at most 13 millimeters in height.

International Classification:

B01D 63/08
B01D 61/36

Abstract:

Plate-and-frame membrane modules, assemblies and processes for separating components of a fluid mixture. The assemblies comprise of a pressure vessel filled with, and able to hold, pressurized fluid being processed. Lightweight membrane plate-and-frame modules are contained inside the vessel. Fluid directing conduits direct the fluid streams being processed into and out of the vessel and across the surface of the separating membrane. Because the modules are surrounded by high pressure fluid, the forces acting on the module are small. This means the modules can be made of lightweight, inexpensive materials, such as plastic. The design of the assemblies is such that it allows for modules to be easily replaced as needed. The assemblies are also designed for pressurized feed fluid separations and separation using a sweep fluid on the permeate side of the membrane. The pressure vessel can contain one or several membrane modules.

G11B 5/851
G11B 5/73

Abstract:

A stack including a crystallographic orientation interlayer, a magnetic zero layer disposed on the interlayer, and a magnetic recording layer disposed on the magnetic zero layer is disclosed. The magnetic zero layer is non-magnetic or has a saturation magnetic flux density (B) less than about 100 emu/cc. The magnetic zero layer and the magnetic layer include grains surrounded by a non-magnetic segregant. The magnetic zero layer provides a coherent interface between the interlayer and the magnetic layer with a lattice mismatch less than about 4%.
