Devices and methods for generating oxygen from residual humidity within sealed enclosures

ActiveUS12505865B1Apparatus for flat record carriersRecord information storageHard disc driveElectrolysis
Provided are devices, and methods for use with devices, that generate oxygen from residual humidity within a sealed enclosure that is filled primarily with an inert gas. A PEM electrolyzer that is configured to generate oxygen from residual humidity is situated within the sealed enclosure. The PEM electrolyzer includes a PE membrane disposed between an anode and a cathode, and further includes a hydrogen getter. The hydrogen getter helps the PEM electrolyzer to be a net producer of oxygen. Exemplary sealed enclosure devices include hard disk drives such as HAMR hard drives filled primarily with helium.

Diffusion barrier against migration of volatile organic contaminants into hard disk drive interior

PendingUS20260094623A1Record information storageReducing moistureHard disc driveActivated carbon
Disclosed are sealed-enclosure disk drives that utilize diffusion barriers to prevent volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) from migrating or flowing through interstitial spaces between covers of the disk drives, and thereby reaching the interior space where components reside that may be susceptible to VOCs. Accordingly, a diffusion barrier is disposed between the top cover and the process cover of the hard drive and positioned to reside in a migration path of VOCs to the interior space. The VOCs are primarily produced by a source of VOCs located in interstitial spaces between the covers, for example an adhesive that bonds the covers, a vibration dampener material, or the like. The diffusion barrier may include activated carbon selected to absorb and / or sequester VOCs.
