Title: Mathew Daniel: Innovator in Disc Drive Technology
Introduction
Mathew Daniel is a prominent inventor based in Oklahoma City, OK (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of disc drive technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His innovative work focuses on improving the performance and efficiency of disc drives through advanced engineering solutions.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents, Mathew Daniel has developed a multi-layer housing structure with tuned layers using hypothetical modeling. This invention aims to reduce the generation of acoustic noise in disc drives. The multi-layer disc drive housing structure includes a housing layer, a plurality of rigid damping layers, and a corresponding plurality of interposed visco-elastic damping layers. The characteristics of these layers are selected by evaluating hypothetical models, each having first, second, and third theoretical layers, with at least one being a composite layer made up of multiple layers. Loss factor profiles are evaluated in relation to the housing layer's resonant frequency to provide an optimum multi-layer structure.
Another notable patent is the form-in-place gasket height variability control for a disc drive. This invention involves forming a top cover assembly of a disc drive by providing a top cover to a gasket-dispensing device. The process includes accelerating a gasket material dispensing head over a staging portion of a gasket support portion of the top cover, supplying uncured gasket material, and dispensing a substantially constant increasing thickness gradient of the material. The uncured gasket material is then cured to form the top cover assembly.
