An information storage device includes a disk drive and a disk drive printed circuit board (PCB) with a disk drive interface connector. A bridge controller PCB is connected to the disk drive interface connector, and includes a host interface connector. An electrically conductive nest of monolithic construction receives the disk drive housing and the bridge controller PCB. The electrically conductive nest includes an enclosure portion enclosing the bridge controller PCB with a conductive grounding tab in contact with the host interface connector. The enclosure portion includes a first plurality of conductive fingers each in contact with the disk drive housing. The electrically conductive nest also includes an extended shield portion adjacent the second side of the disk drive base and overlying the disk drive controller PCB. The extended shield portion includes a second plurality of conductive fingers each in contact with the disk drive housing.

An apparatus for holding a media storage disk of a kind having a surface forming a central hole. The apparatus includes a base portion and two arms, each arm resiliently cantilevered and extending substantially perpendicular from the base portion. A disk locating means includes two portions, each having a disk engageable region. The two portions are also articulated to each other about an articulation axis and each portion is pivotally connected to one of the arms, respectively, about a pivot axis, the articulation axis located between the pivot axes. The two portions are moveable in a manner that moves the articulation axis from a side on one side of and between the two pivot axes, wherein the two portions are in a disk securing condition, to a position on the other side of and between the two pivot axes, wherein the two portions are in a disk releasing condition.

The present invention discloses an improved sucking disk type hanging pole which comprises a protruded shaft on top and a rubber sucking disk on bottom, a stand with a connecting sleeve on top and a shell plate on bottom, a flexible hanging pole and a retaining base for coupling a retained object; wherein the disk body of the stand is smaller than the rubber sucking disk; a through hole is disposed at the center and interconnected to a bar-shaped sliding groove; a spring disposed in the through hole props a protruded cylindrical shaft of the sucking disk body is; a pivotal axle rod of the protruded cylindrical shaft passes through a sliding groove and pivotally connects with a latch member, and the board latch member at its periphery comprises a cam edge for contacting and supporting a shell plate of the stand, so that the cam edge pushes the shell plate to move back and forth by turning the latch member in order to drive the protruded pole together by the spring to loosen the rubber sucking disk and allow the groove slot to deform the shell plate more easily and facilitate the slightly curved surface to have the sucking or loosening effects. Further, with the flexibility of the hanging pole, the present invention allows user to quickly adjust the direction and height of the retaining base and facilitate carrying a heavy load on a smooth fixing object such as a ceramic tile or glass.

A collectable electronic multimedia trading card (10) and a hand-held portable card reader (12) for storing and communicating an information set of information relating to a single specific person, place, or thing. In a preferred embodiment, the card (10) is no more than between approximately 3.00 inches and 3.25 inches in length, no more than between approximately 2.30 and 2.70 inches in width, and no more than between approximately 0.01 inch and 0.1 inches in thickness. The information is presented using a variety of media elements, such as, for example, video, audio, still, and text elements. The information includes hyperlinks to additional network-accessible external sources of information. The information also includes advertisements.

In conjunction with a so-called patterned medium comprising recording tracks each having an array of unit minute recording portions of a magnetic material separated by non-recording portions of a nonmagnetic material, the invention aims to prevent a magnetic head slider from sticking to the medium. The magnetic recording medium of the invention includes recording tracks each having an array of unit minute recording portions (14) of a magnetic material separated by non-recording portions (16) of a nonmagnetic material. The surface height of the unit minute recording portions (14) is set higher than the surface height of the non-recording portions (16).

A multimedia disk security system which uses a removable center plug that fits into the central hole formed on the disk body. Attached or formed inside the center plug is a EAS tag, the presence or absence of which is detectable to a standard electronic article surveillance detector. In one embodiment, an optional main label may be attached over the entire disk body to hide the EAS tag.
