          Jurgenson v. Dunfield                                                       
                               Claim 41 of Dunfield                                   
                                         or                                           
                               Claim 17 of Jurgenson                                  
               9.   Dunfield claim 41 is as follows:                                  
                    A magnetic disk drive suspension, including:                      
                    an actuator arm having a proximal 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;                                                      
                    a gimbal coupled to the rigid load beam;                          
                    an air bearing coupled to the gimbal, the air                     
               bearing being configured for receiving a read/write                    
               head; and                                                              
                    an electromagnetic microactuator including at least               
               two coils mounted on the rigid load beam but not on the                
               gimbal and coupled to the air bearing, the coils                       
               generating magnetic fields in response to tracking                     
               control signals and finely positioning the air bearing                 
               relative to the rigid load beam and to a track on a                    
               disk.                                                                  
               10.  Jurgenson claim 17 is as follows:                                 
                    A magnetic 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;                                                                  


                                        - 6 -
