Publication number: US11289120B1
Application number: 17/212,960

Abstract:
A head gimbal assembly for supporting a disk drive includes a flexure, a slider, a load beam and a gimbal affixed to the load beam. The flexure includes a first end extending along the load beam through a center region of a longitudinal axis of the head gimbal assembly and second end that includes a plurality of bond pads electrically coupled to the slider. The gimbal includes a detab, a connector region, a stator region and a central tongue region. The gimbal includes a gimbal tether configured to reduce stress on a first portion of the gimbal by coupling the first portion of the gimbal to a second portion of the gimbal.

Publication number: US20210089397A1
Application number: 17/115,940

Abstract:
Read parameter estimation techniques are provided that obtain information from multiple read operations to customize read parameters for data recovery. One method comprises performing the following steps, in response to a decoding failure of a page of a memory or a codeword of the memory: obtaining at least three read values of the page or codeword; and processing the at least three read values to determine read parameters comprising: (i) a log likelihood ratio, and/or (ii) a center read reference voltage, wherein the determination is based on a signal count of a number of bits falling in particular regions of multiple regions of the memory and wherein the determined read parameters are used for a decoding of the page or codeword following the decoding failure and/or a subsequent read operation following a successful decoding of the page or codeword.
