Abstract
The present invention provides a transducing device. The transducing device includes a transducing element. The transducing device further includes at least one heating element formed within the transducing device and spaced a sufficient distance from the transducing element to substantially reduce a temperature effect on the transducing element.
Claims20
A transducing device comprising:
- a transducing element;
- and
- at least one heating element formed within the transducing device and spaced a sufficient distance from the transducing element to substantially reduce a temperature effect on the transducing element.
A transducing device comprising:
- a transducing element;
- at least one heating element formed within the transducing device;
- a first external surface configured to generate a first lift and a second external surface, the second external surface located proximal to the at least one heating element such that when the at least one heating element is energized the second external surface generates a second lift.
A transducing device comprising:
- a thin film structure deposited in layers on a substrate;
- a transducing element formed in one of the layers of the thin film structure;
- and
- at least one heating element formed in the thin film structure and spaced apart from the transducing element, the at least one heating element located proximate an external surface.
