A pumped refrigerant cooling system having cooling units with associated pumping units for providing working fluid to the cooling unit to enable cooling of a space. The pumped refrigerant cooling system also includes a redundant pumping unit which is activated when a primary pumping unit associated with a cooling unit becomes inactive. The primary pumping unit is deactivated in favor of the redundant pumping unit. Once the primary pumping unit is placed in a condition suitable for reactivation, the redundant pumping unit is deactivated, and the primary pumping unit is reactivated.

Pumped refrigerant cooling system with 1+1 to N+1 and built-in redundancy

A method of fabrication of a slider includes forming a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer, and an antiferromagnetic layer and applying a layer of protective material to proximal ends of those layers that are proximal to the disk surface. The method further includes recessing a proximal end of a non-magnetic metal layer formed on the first ferromagnetic layer from the disk surface to form at least one recessed area. The method also includes filling the recessed area with protective material to a depth such that when the layer of protective material is worn from the ends of the first ferromagnetic layer, the second ferromagnetic layer, and the antiferromagnetic layer by burnishing of the ends by the disk surface, protective material still remains in the recessed area of the non-magnetic metal layer.

Process of making a non-corrosive GMR slider for proximity recording

A slider ( ) for reading data from a disk surface ( ), the slider ( ) including a magneto-resistive head ( ). The head ( ) includes a transducer ( ) having a stack of layers ( ), each layer ( ) having a proximal end ( ) proximal to the disk surface, and a pair of electrical leads ( ), connected to the transducer ( ), each one of the electrical leads ( ) also having a proximal end ( ) proximal to the disk surface ( ). At least one of the proximal ends ( ) of the electrical leads ( ) and the layers ( ) is recessed to provide one or more recessed areas ( ). The recessed areas ( ) are then filled with protective material ( ) to a depth such that when the layer of protective material ( ) is worn from the proximal ends ( ) by burnishing by the disk surface ( ), protective material ( ) still remains in the recessed areas ( ). Also disclosed is a method of fabrication of a slider ( ) having recessed areas ( ) filled with protective material ( ) which protect materials from corrosion and electrical spiking.
