| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7391592 | Magnetic recording medium including a diamond-like carbon protective film and at least two additional elements A magnetic recording medium having a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film added therein a Group IV element of the periodic table such as silicon, particularly in the vicinity of the boundary between the magnetic material and the formed DLC film. Since a DLC having low fri... | 06/24/2008 |
| 7323259 | Multilayer perpendicular media with high-boron or high-carbon additives to CoCr films Carbon or boron is added into the CoCr layers of a multiplayer perpendicular magnetic media structure to reduce media noise. The perpendicular magnetic media structure has sharp interfaces between Co-alloy layers and Pd or Pt layers and significantly reduced exchang... | 01/29/2008 |
| 7229533 | Method of making coated article having low-E coating with ion beam treated and/or formed IR reflecting layer A coated article is provided that may be used as a vehicle windshield, insulating glass (IG) window unit, or the like. An ion beam is used during at least part of forming an infrared (IR) reflecting layer(s) of such a coated article. Advantageously, this has been fo... | 06/12/2007 |
| 7083873 | Magnetic recording medium including a diamond-like carbon protective film with hydrogen and at least two additional elements A magnetic recording medium having a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film added therein a Group IV element of the periodic table such as silicon, particularly in the vicinity of the boundary between the magnetic material and the formed DLC film. Since a DLC having low fri... | 08/01/2006 |
| 7018729 | Energy gradient ion beam deposition of carbon overcoats on rigid disk media for magnetic recordings The fabrication of the overcoat layer starts with a low energy ion beam to avoid magnetic layer implantation problems, followed by higher deposition energies where the higher energy atoms are implanted into the previously formed lower energy overcoat layer, rather t... | 03/28/2006 |
| 6974642 | Carbonaceous protective layer, magnetic recording medium, production method thereof, and magnetic disk apparatus A carbonaceous protective layer particularly suitable for use in magnetic recording media. The carbonaceous protective layer is formed by a Filtered Cathodic Arc process, and contains nitrogen distributed therein. A process for the production of a carbonaceous prote... | 12/13/2005 |
| 4789913 | Method and apparatus for lubricating a magnetic disk continuously in a recording file In a magnetic disk file having a plurality of disks and a source of organic lubricant mounted within a housing, an air flow stream recirculates within the housing. The vapor pressure of the lubricant source is controlled to provide vapor phase transport o... | 12/06/1988 |
