Patent ID: 7427846

Claim:
A method of optimizing servo controlled power in the operation of two-dimensional flexure microelectronic memory storage devices, said method comprising: providing a stationary base member; providing a movable scanner platform having memory storage media located on an upper surface of said scanner platform; having flexural supports for said scanner platform positioned on said stationary base member facilitating displacement of said movable scanner platform in x- and y-directions relative to said stationary base member; connecting actuators to said movable scanner platform responsive to the operation of servo controllers for imparting said x- and y-directional displacements thereto, including providing x- and y-position sensors for determining the extent of displacement of said scanning platform; and moving a scanning structure along x- and y-coordinates about the surface of said scanner platform containing said microelectronic memory storage media to the vicinity of a target track within a period of time minimizing power output required for said servo controllers.
