A hard disc drive includes a base deck, a cover welded to the base deck, and a voice coil motor. The voice coil motor includes a first voice coil motor assembly and a second voice coil motor assembly. Either one or both of the first and second voice coil motor assemblies can be welded to the base deck.

Ultrasonic welding for sealing electronic devices

A method for testing and grading electronic devices includes receiving a set of testing data associated with an electronic device that is following a testing routine. Based on the set of testing data, the method includes computing a first performance metric of the electronic device by using a first artificial neural network and computing a second performance metric of the electronic device by using a second artificial neural network. Based on at least the first predicted performance metric and the second predicted performance metric, the method includes computing a grade for the electronic device.

Methods, devices, and systems for reducing device test time

A method is disclosed for establishing a fly height parameter for a hard disc drive. The method includes receiving a set of testing data associated with the hard disc drive and subjecting the hard disc drive to a fly-height test at a first, nominal temperature to generate fly-height data. Based on the set of testing data and the fly-height data, the method includes predicting the hard disc drive's fly-height data for a fly-height test at a second temperature different from the first, nominal temperature. The method further includes establishing the fly-height parameter for the hard disc drive in response to the fly-height data and the predicted fly-height data.
