The golden thread of Woolmington – A domestic yarn that should never have been spun by Dyer, Karen

“…The case of Woolmington v The Director of Public Prosecutions [1935] 1 AC 462 is renowned for Viscount Sankey’s ‘golden thread’ ruling, that the prosecution bears the burden of proof at trial. However, what is frequently overlooked is that this judgment arises from domestic violence. …”

Simulation studies and experimental measurement of the air bearing slider by Ho, Jefferson Rui Ming.

“…The mechanical spacing or flying height, in particular, has been greatly reduced to the nanometer regions. At such ultra-low flying height, slider-disk contact becomes unavoidable due to the flying height variations of the sliders, surface waviness of the disk and short range forces in the head-disk interface.…”
