de-energized Explanation: This appears to be Japlish term :-) I think it simply means the condition where electrical current is not being provided to the motor that spins the disk. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs 12 mins (2005-02-18 17:05:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The full sentence translation could be something like: \"Methods to reduce friction time due to magnetic disk and head contact when the magnetic disk drive is disengaged\" (or \"when the disk drive has been de-energized\") (or more naturally \"when power is not being supplied to the drive motor\") Which means, when the disk stops turning, the air bed between the disk head and disk platter no longer can prevent the two from coming into contact. While this contact may be inevitable, the author might be suggesting a way to keep this friction time as short as possible. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs 13 mins (2005-02-18 17:05:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- air bed -> air cushion |
