A digital filter based on an inverse Coleman-Hodgdon model linearizes microactuator response in disc drives.
A piezoelectric element pair uses voltage-induced deformation to generate a transfer function for crack detection.
Asymmetric electrode lengths in multi-layer piezoelectric actuators suppress torsion mode excitation, eliminating notch filters to improve servo bandwidth.
Surrounding insulative adhesive encapsulates lower conductive adhesive agents on a magnetic head suspension flexure to maintain electrical connections.
