PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disk device that can enhance the error recovery perfor mance by an error recovery means performed on the occurrence of an error, and also can shorten the error recovery processing time. SOLUTION: An error recovery condition having high error recovery effect is selected from error occurrence conditions and a judging result of a cause of an error (step S1), and recovery means are performed from an error recovery means having a high error recovery rate out of selected error recovery means (step S2).

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability of read data without losing interchangeability by arranging a pair of identification (ID) pins in a head disk assembly (HDA) and switching a waveform correcting value in accordance with the short- circuited/opened state of the ID pins. CONSTITUTION:A pair of ID pins P1, P2 whose short-circuited/opened state can be operated from the external are arranged in the HDA 10. An HDA ID signal 102 is formed in accordance with the short-circuited states of the pins P1, P2. When respective pins P1,P2 are in their opened states, a detection circuit 20 outputs a control signal 103, the opened/closed states of respective switches 43, 44 in a waveform correcting circuit 40 are switched by the control signal 103 to adjust the waveform correcting value. Even when rot variation is generated in a magnetic head or a magnetic disk, a waveform can be corrected by the proper correction value without losing interchangeability between the HDA and the magnetic disk device.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the reflection coefficient to ensure a practical band in an antenna system having auxiliary antennas arranged around a main antenna so as to control the directivity. SOLUTION: A main antenna 1 is provided with two main antenna elements 11, 12 whose length differs from each other and placed adjacent to each other in order to respectively secure transmission/reception bands. One of the elements of the main antenna is resonated at the reception frequency and the other is resonated at the transmission frequency. Further, the shape (length) of the main antenna and the auxiliary antennas 201 to 206 is decided such that the reflection coefficient of antenna input has a prescribed value (ordinarily 2) or below, in particular, such that the distribution of antenna input impedance with respect to the phase shift conditions of the auxiliary antennas is centered around the values of signal supply impedance. Thus, the phase shift conditions capable of securing a practical band can remarkably be increased and various directivity patterns can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control an optimum antenna directivity pattern at reception and transmission with a comparatively simple method in an information terminal provided with a variable directivity antenna. SOLUTION: A processing circuit for the information terminal provided with a variable directivity antenna sequentially transmits only a directivity pattern having a unidirectional directivity among the finite number of directivity data taken by the variable directivity antenna to a control circuit to conduct directivity scanning and to decide reception signal quality by each directivity. The processing circuit decides an optimum directivity pattern from the scanning decision result and transmits directivity data including a reception frequency to the control circuit at reception and transmits directivity data including a transmission frequency to the control circuit at transmission. The control circuit controls the variable directivity antenna so as to obtain the optimum directivity pattern for the reception frequency and the transmission frequency.
