Interference 104,530
Jurgenson v. Dunfield
an actuator arm having a proximal end and a distal end;
a mounting region on the proximal end of the actuator
arm;
a rigid load beam integral with the distal end of the
actuator arm, the rigid load beam having a gimbal support
end;
a gimbal coupled to the gimbal support end of the rigid
load beam;
an air bearing coupled to the gimbal, the air bearing
being configured for receiving and supporting a read/write
head; and
a microactuator mounted on the gimbal support end of
the rigid load beam but not on the gimbal and coupled to the
air bearing, the microactuator being responsive to tracking
control signals for finely positioning the read/write head
relative to the surface of the disk and to the rigid load
beam.
7. Jurgenson claim 1 is as follows:
A disk drive suspension, including:
a load beam having a rigid region, proximal and
distal ends, and a spring region between the proximal
end and the rigid region;
a mounting region on the proximal end of the load
beam;
a flexure on the distal end of the load beam, the
flexure configured for receiving and supporting a
read/write head; and
a microactuator on the rigid region of the load
beam, the microactuator responsive to tracking control
signals for moving the flexure along a tracking axis
with respect to the rigid region.
8. Count 2 of the interference is as follows:
