Latest Patents
One of Kuno's latest patents is a servo track writer for magnetic disks. This invention features a disk assembly that includes a large number of magnetic disks arranged in layers on a disk loading hub. The assembly is detachably mounted on a rotating shaft of an air spindle motor set on a base. The base is equipped with a movable table capable of reciprocation, which carries a rotary positioner for rotating and positioning a stacked head assembly. This assembly consists of numerous magnetic heads stacked in layers, along with ramps for loading and unloading the magnetic heads from the disks. The distance between the rotating shafts of the air spindle motor and the rotary positioner can be adjusted by moving the movable table.
Another notable patent is a magnetic disk device that includes computer chassis mounting provisions. This invention features thread grooves for electrical connection, which are directly formed in two mounting portions among a total of eight provided in the side surfaces and bottom surface of the base plate. These mounting portions are grounded to the chassis of a system that has the magnetic disk device mounted. Mounting members with electrical insulating properties are fitted in the mounting holes of six mounting portions, ensuring electrical isolation from the chassis when mounted.
