TRANSDUCER/FLEXURE/CONDUCTOR STRUCTURE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC READ/WRITE SYSTEM

摘要

Flexure/transducer structure (60, 70, 140, 160, 200, 280, 300, 395, 400, 410, 460, 500, 520, 526, 530, 545, 547, 587a, 588e, 590) employable in an electromagnetic information storage and retrieval system wherein mechanical load-bearing responsibilities and electrical-current-carrying responsibilities are merged into and shared by common structure. The invention subject matter is useable in systems characterized by contact operation, as well as by quasi-contact and non-contact operations, in relation to the recording surface in an information recording medium (64, 98).
