Jurgenson v. Dunfield
having a surface and a track on the surface, the apparatus
comprising:
a rotary actuator;
an actuator arm coupled to the rotary actuator;
a load beam coupled to the actuator arm;
a suspension coupled to the load beam;
an air bearing coupled to the suspension;
a transducer coupled to the air bearing and positioned
to access the surface of the disc, the transducer having a
pair of spaced disc accessing elements;
a second actuator operably coupled to the air bearing
and the load beam and being controllable to move the air
bearing relative to the surface of the disc and relative to
the load beam; and
a controller coupled to the second actuator to
reposition the transducer to align one of the pair of spaced
disc accessing elements with the track on the surface of the
disc, the controller varying an amount by which the
transducer is repositioned based on a radial position of the
track on the surface of the disc and based on spacing between
the disc accessing elements on the transducer.
40. Dunfield claim 2 is as follows:
An actuator arm assembly in a disc drive, the disc drive
having a disc with a surface for storing information, and a
first actuator for moving the actuator arm assembly relative
to the surface of the disc, the actuator arm assembly
comprising:
an actuator arm coupled to the first actuator;
a load beam coupled to the actuator arm;
a suspension coupled to the load beam;
an air bearing coupled to the suspension;
