Patent EP-0526703-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOPPE ROBERT F
IPC: G11B25/04
Filed: 1992-05-26
Abstract: A disk drive useful for a portable computer comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) and head/disk assembly HDA including a generally rectangular baseplate for mounting a stack of one or more magnetic disks for rotation about an axis normal to the baseplate and a read/write magnetic head actuator mounted for pivotal movement about an axis also normal to the baseplate. An enclosure formed by the baseplate and a configured cover surrounds the actuator and disk stack to maintain a relatively "clean" contaminant free environment. The PCB which includes the electronic circuits and components associated with the disk drive is mounted in a plane parallel to the surface of the baseplate and in close proximity to the cover of the enclosure in order to keep the overall height of the assembly as low as possible since the height of the assembly dictates the height dimension of the laptop computer. In the preferred embodiment, the sides of the enclosure extend normal to the plane of the baseplate from the four perimeter sides of the rectangular baseplate to a plane slightly above the top of the arm actuator, which is the tallest element within the enclosure. The thin shell cover is attached to the baseplate and conforms generally to the profile of the actuator mechanism and the disk stack. The PCB is mounted adjacent to the cover so that all of the electronic components having relatively high profiles may be positioned on the board in locations which are immediately opposite the areas of the cover which extend into the empty spaces adjacent to the actuator and disk stack.

Inventor: KOROTKY STEVEN K
IPC: G02F1/035
Filed: 1992-11-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a device for generating solitons by amplitude modulating an optical signal with separate in-phase electrical signals of different harmonically related frequencies. Specifically, an amplitude modulator such as a Y junction Mach-Zehnder interferometer (23, 25, 26, 28) has multiple sets of distributed electrodes (50, 52...64). The interferometer has a set of electrodes for each electrical signal of a specific frequency, thus, if three separate signals of harmonically related frequencies are used to amplitude modulate an optical signal, then the interferometer has three sets of electrodes located between the Y junctions (30) of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The structure of a separate set of electrodes for each of the signals results in a soliton generator which avoids the prior art problem of signal loss caused by combiningg many high frequency signals into a composite signal and the resulting need for a relatively expensive amplifier capable of uniformly amplifying the multi-octave composite signal.

Abstract: A combustor includes inner and outer arrays of generally Vee-shaped, radially extending, circumferentially spaced gutters (26,28) canted in a circumferential direction relative to one another to produce isolated concentric counter-rotating circumferentially directed flows downstream of the gutters. A lean premixed combustion mode is used at baseload operations. At non-baseload operations, particularly low-load operating conditions, a diffusion combustion mode is employed by direct fuel injection into air supplied to one of the isolated flow fields, preferably the radially inner flow field, to produce a stabilized, locally hotter flame, resulting in higher combustion efficiency and lower emissions than otherwise using a lean premixed combustion mode at the non-baseload operating conditions.

Abstract: An electric cable with limited fire survival characteristics comprises at least one insulated conductor insulated with silicone rubber or other organic insulant that leaves an insulating inorganic residue on thermal breakdown and optionally a bare earth wire. A screening layer is formed by a laminate comprising a centre layer of mineral fibre cloth having one face formed by a layer of metal foil and the the other by a layer of organic material infusible below 200°C, preferably regenerated cellulose or cured isophalate polyester film. An extruded sheath of flame-retardant polymeric material contacts, but does not adhere to, the infusible film layer of the laminate. 
     This separation of the screening layer from the sheath ensures that it can be cut back for termination with negligible risk of damage to the conductor insulation and minimal risk of damage to the essential metal layer of the screening laminate. After it has been so cut back, the projecting end of the laminate may be turned back over the cut end of the sheath to expose a metal layer that is sufficiently supported to make an effective screen connection by mechanical means.
