Described herein is a hard disk drive that includes a base and a cover. The base includes a closed end, sidewalls, an open end, and one or more corner portions. The sidewalls extend from the closed end, and the open end is defined by the sidewalls. The closed end, sidewalls, and open end define an interior cavity of the hard disk drive. Each corner portion is proximate a respective intersection of the sidewalls and positioned exteriorly of the interior cavity. The cover is welded to the sidewalls over the open end by a weld bead such that the weld bead is positioned between the interior cavity and the corner portions. The weld bead hermetically seals the cover to the base. Furthermore, at least one of the corner portions is at least substantially flush with the cover.

A base member of a disk drive apparatus includes a window portion, a first groove, and a communicating groove. The window portion passes through a bottom plate portion of the base member in an axial direction. The first groove is defined in an upper surface of the bottom plate portion around the window portion. A connector includes a board portion and an electrode terminal on a lower surface of the board portion. The board portion is on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion to cover the window portion, the first groove, and a portion of the communicating groove. The communicating groove extends from the first groove up to a position outside of an outer circumferential portion of the connector. An adhesive layer is between the upper surface of the bottom plate portion and the lower surface of the board portion.

A hermetically-sealed hard disk drive (HDD) involves the inner surfaces of sidewalls of a second cover overlapping with and adhesively bonded with the outermost surfaces of sidewalls of an enclosure base. Matching angled sidewalls for the inner and outermost surfaces, and an adhesive bond that provides a hermetic seal in which a ratio of the height to the thickness of the adhesive bond is in a range of 50-100:1, may be utilized to provide a hermetic seal having a long, narrow diffusion path to inhibit diffusion of gas through the adhesive bond. The second cover may include preformed corner corrugations, and the base may include corner pockets in which corner pleats, formed with the corner corrugations by bending inward the cover sidewalls, are received within when the cover and base are bonded together.

A screwless hard disk drive (HDD) drawing box and a HDD swappable module are provided, which includes a HDD cartridge for receiving a hard disk drive. The HDD cartridge has a bottom board, and two sideboards connected to two opposite sides of the bottom board. The two side plates of the hard disk drive are close to the two sideboards. One of the sideboards has a plurality of fixing pins. The other sideboard of the HDD cartridge has a plurality of elastic snapping members opposite to the fixing pins. Each of the elastic snapping members has a snapping bump and an elastic element. Each snapping bump is arranged on the elastic element at the other sideboard of the HDD cartridge opposite to the fixing pins. The fixing pins and the snapping bumps are inserted in the thread holes of the two side plates of the hard disk drive.

A storage case includes a support surface that supports side surfaces of a plurality of magnetic tape cartridges, and the support surface has a first surface, and a second surface positioned closer to the side surfaces than the first surface.

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a housing including a sidewall, a magnetic disk, a wireless communication device including a first communication antenna, and a first insulating member. The sidewall includes a first through portion. The first insulating member closes the first through portion. The first communication antenna is located in the first through portion, is disposed spaced from the housing, and wirelessly communicates with an outside of the housing.

Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including: a display module configured to be changed to a curved state, the display module comprising a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the first and the second lateral edges protruding forward in the curved state; a base frame disposed behind the display module; a shield member rotatably connected to lateral ends in a widthwise direction of the display module; and a cover unit having a first end connected to the shield member and a second end opposite from the first end connected to the base frame and configured to spread and cover spaces between the display module and the base frame at the lateral ends of the display unit when the display module is in the curved state.

A redundant power supply motherboard assembly connects control segments of a fieldbus-type control system to a host computer. The assembly has a compact design with pairs of power supply modules in side-by-side nests on the motherboard. The nests are mounted on the motherboard in desired locations and securely hold the modules on the assembly despite vibrations, shocks and handling to prevent contact impairment. The nests provide touch protection for components on the motherboard.

In the context of a hard disk drive (HDD), an adhesive leak channel structural feature is positioned in an area at which an electrical feed-through is adhered with an adhesive to an enclosure base, where the leak channel feature inhibits the leakage of gas through the adhesive. Embodiments include providing the leak channel feature on the base and/or on the feed-through. Embodiments may further include application of an electrodeposition coating to the base in an area at which the adhesive is in contact.

A storage cartridge dock system and method are provided. The storage cartridge dock system in one example includes a case including a front panel, an upper cartridge slot formed in the front panel of the case and configured to receive an upper storage cartridge, with the upper cartridge slot including an upper interface connector, at least a lower cartridge slot formed in the front panel and configured to receive a lower storage cartridge, with the at least lower cartridge slot including a lower interface connector, and a first external connector and a second external connector coupled to the upper interface connector of the upper cartridge slot and coupled to the lower interface connector of the at least lower cartridge slot.
