Intermediate covering placement of environmental control substances in data storage devices

PendingDE102025125146A1Reducing temperature influence on carrierRecord information storageEnvironmental engineeringMechanical engineering
A data storage device may include a sealed inner enclosure, wherein a gaseous environment inside the sealed inner enclosure differs from a standard air environment; an outer cover arranged over and coupled to at least one section of the sealed inner enclosure; and an environment-controlling substance located between the sealed inner enclosure and the outer cover. The sealed inner enclosure has at least one membrane to allow the environment-controlling substance to influence the gaseous environment inside the sealed inner enclosure.A method for manufacturing a data storage device may include: sealing an inner enclosure of the data storage device; attaching an outer cover to the data storage device; enclosing an environment-regulating substance between the inner enclosure and the outer cover; and creating a non-standard air environment inside the inner enclosure of the data storage device.

Cover, recording device, and method for manufacturing cover

A cover is provided with a connection portion on an outer peripheral portion for conducting fastening. The connection portion is provided with a fastening face that is fastened by a bolt on a top face and a connecting face that is connected to the base on a bottom face, and the connection portion is formed into a stepped shape with steps that form a recessed shape on the top face and a projected shape on the bottom face with respect to the outer peripheral portion. The steps are set to have dimensions less than a thickness of a plate material. The stepped shape is provided with an outer face of the step and an inner face of the step that do not overlap each other in a planer direction of the connecting face.

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.

Indium-based seals for electronic devices

InactiveUS20260065944A1Carrier coversRecord information storageIndiumElectronic component
An electronic device includes a cover coupled to a base to create an enclosure. One or more electronic components are positioned within the enclosure. A metallic seal is positioned between the cover and the base. The seal can be formed as a pre-cut gasket comprising indium or a layer of electroplated indium.

Hard disk drive embedded gasket base

ActiveJP7813858B2Carrier constructional parts dispositionApparatus for flat record carriers
To provide a method for directly embedding a gasket seal in particular into a base plate for the purpose of providing a larger disc storage region in a hard disk drive and also to provide an enclosure base.SOLUTION: A base plate (enclosure base plate) 500 of a hard disk drive includes: a groove 504 that extends from an inner side wall surface 502a into a side wall 502; and a gasket seal 512 embedded in the groove. In a context where a diameter of a recording disk 520-1 gradually becomes larger, a corresponding disk shroud expands, and a corresponding side wall of the base plate becomes narrower, such a base plate is configured such that a first cover 510 can be physically engaged with a portion of the embedded gasket seal extending inward away from the side wall surface, whereby a favorable sealing mechanism is provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5A

Inter-cover placement of environment-controlling substances in data storage devices

PendingUS20260073949A1Reducing temperature influence on carrierRecord information storageProcess engineeringMechanical engineering
A data storage device may include a sealed inner enclosure, wherein a gaseous environment inside of the sealed inner enclosure differs from a standard air environment; an outer cover situated over and coupled to at least a portion of the sealed inner enclosure; and an environment-controlling substance situated between the sealed inner enclosure and the outer cover. The sealed inner enclosure comprises at least one membrane to allow the environment-controlling substance to affect the gaseous environment inside of the sealed inner enclosure. A method of manufacturing a data storage device may comprise sealing an inner enclosure of the data storage device; applying an outer cover to the data storage device; including an environment-controlling substance between the inner enclosure and the outer cover; and creating a non-standard air environment within the inner enclosure of the data storage device.
