Reconditioning/Cleaning Record Carriers TRIZ Cases
- Hard Drive Component Extraction for Data Destruction and Magnet Recovery
Vision-guided hard drive dismantling isolates platters for destruction and preserves motor magnets for rare earth recovery with lower energy use.
- Tape Drive Error Recovery Using Humidity-Based Debris Selection
Humidity thresholds guide tape drive error recovery to target debris on the tape or magnetic head, improving storage reliability.
- HAMR Head Laser Smoothing for Lubricant Layer Uniformity
Lower-power near-field laser smoothing flattens the HAMR medium lubricant layer, reducing signal errors and head flying failures.
- Tape Drive Loader Tray Cleaning Cartridge for Debris Removal
A fitted cleaning cartridge engages tape drive loader tray surfaces to collect debris and reduce manual cleaning in large tape libraries.
- Thin LTO Cleaning Tape with Abrasive Coating for Flat Head Contact
A thin cleaning tape with abrasive coating improves contact pressure on flat contour tape heads, resolving inadequate cleaning efficiency caused by stiffness.
- Head Cleaning Device Wiper Entrainment for Tape Width Direction
Moving the wiper entrainment portion in the tape width direction aligns cleaning with separation, resolving directional conflicts without complex mechanisms.
- Library Device Accessor With Picker-Mounted Cleaner
A library device accessor mounts a cleaning element on its media picker to remove dust from internal components during transport operations.
- Tape Section Cleaning to Remove Cutting Debris in Cartridge Manufacturing
Cleaning stations remove cutting debris from tape sections before spooling, preventing contamination that reduces cartridge and drive longevity.
- Disk Drive Suspension Cleaning via Piezoelectric Vibration and Ionized Gas
Piezoelectric elements oscillate disk drive suspensions while ionized air removes contaminants, eliminating large installation sizes and drying time.
- Media Scrubbing With Oscillating Rollers and Opposed Brushes
Oscillating rollers reciprocally move media between opposed rotating brushes, eliminating slippage and ensuring uniform cleaning across the entire surface.
