Abstract:
A main body case (29) for storing a keyboard (27) and an upper case (25) for storing an integrated display/input device (23) are coupled by hinge units (31, 33) to be arbitrarily pivotal from a state wherein the keyboard faces the integrated display/input device to a state wherein the back surfaces of the keyboard and the integrated display/input device face each other.
Abstract:
A recorded data reproducing apparatus according to this invention comprises a data pulse generation section (l0 to l5), a peak detection section (l7 to l9) and a control section (20 to 22). The data pulse generation section (l0 to l5) reads out data written on the cylinder of a recording medium on which a magnetic head is currently positioned. According to received gain data, the data pulse generation section (l0 to l5) amplifies a signal corresponding to the readout data, and selectively generates data pulse sequence based on the amplified signal. When the amplified signal corresponds to servo data, the peak detection section (l7 to l9) detects the peak value of the amplified signal. The control section (20 to 22) determines whether or not the magnitude of the detected peak value is nearly equal to a predetermined value. If the determination is negative, the control section (20 to 22) refers to a gain data table to determine a change amount of the gain data, and supplies the gain data updated based on the change amount to the data pulse generation section (l0 to l5).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a magnetic disk apparatus, method for assembling an actuator mechanism thereof and an assembling unit of the actuator mechanism, wherein a plurality of head arms (4) are installed integrally onto an arm supporting block (1) and a head assembly (6) is fixed to these head arms (4) by use of connecting means (9-14). The invention also includes an assembling method and assembling unit suitable for installing the head assembly (6) to the head arm (4) in the case that a plurality of head arms (4) are installed integrally onto the arm supporting block (1). Since a plurality of head arms (4) are installed integrally onto the arm supporting block (1), assembly thereof is simple, the cost is decreased, and it is also possible effectively to reduce a latent off-track of the magnetic head (7).
Abstract:
A magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus of the invention has a magnetic head (10) for reading a vertical magnetically recorded signal, an inplane magnetic recorded signal or a magnetic recorded signal having both a vertical magnetic component and an inplane magnetic component and for supplying a reproduced signal, a first analog signal converting circuit (11) for converting the reproduced signal into an analog inplane reproduced signal when the reproduced signal is a vertical reproduced analog signal, a second analog signal converting circuit (12) for bypassing an inplane analog reproduced signal when the reproduced signal is the inplane reproduced analog signal, and a third analog signal converting circuit (13) for converting the reproduced signal into an inplane reproduced analog signal when the reproduced signal is the inplane reproduced analog signal. The circuits (11, 12, 13) are switched to operate selectively in accordance with the type of signals reproduced from a magnetic recording medium.
Abstract:
In a read circuit for an FDD, a differentiator is constituted by a pair of current control transistors (15, 17) connected differentially, and a series circuit of a capacitor (23), an inductor (25), and first and second resistors (27, 29) connected between the transistors (15, 17). A switch is connected across one (29) of the resistors (27, 29). When a track counter (34) detects an inner track, it supplies an active signal to the switch. The switch is closed to short-circuit the resistor (29), thereby decreasing the damping value of the differentiator.
Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly (32) comprising first and second core assemblies (37, 39) of different types and properties. The first core assembly (37) is of a leading erase type for the perpendicular magnetic recording system, while the second one (39) is of a tunnel erase type for the longitudinal magnetic recording system. These core assemblies (37, 39) are arranged on either side of a slider groove (36). When used with the dopble-sided recording system, they are both located on one side of the alider groove.
