PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To offer a drive unit for an ultrasonic motor, which properly copes with changes in phase conditions and change in resonance frequency, in a simple constitution and also is advantageous to achieve the facilitation of manufacture and the cost reduction by reducing the count of parts used, and to provide a drive method. SOLUTION: This driver for an ultrasonic motor is equipped with a vibrator 103, which vibrates by the supply of AC voltage and a mobile object 105 which moves by the vibration of this vibrator 103. This driver is equipped with a boosting drive means 2 which boosts AC voltage to be given to the vibrator 103, a resistor VR12 which detects the voltage level of AC voltage with specified threshold and outputs it, and a monomultivibrator IC11 which generates a specified time width of pulse signal with required oscillation frequency, on the basis of a trigger signal and feeds it back to a transistor Tr1 of the boosting drive means so as to make it self-oscillate, thereby vibrating the vibrator 103.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drive controller for stepping motor which can-transfer at a high speed a body to be driven to a target position on a body to which the body is to be transferred, even when the self-starting frequency of the body to be driven is low at the starting time. SOLUTION: A stepping motor 16 which transfers a carriage 14A mounted with a magnetic head 14 transfers the magnetic head 14 to a target position on a floppy disk 17, when a drive pulse having a prescribed duty ratio is supplied to the motor 16. When the magnetic head 14 is accelerated, a drive circuit 6 shortens the supplying period of the drive pulse having the prescribed duty ratio, and when the head 14 is decelerated, the circuit 6 prolongs the supplying period of the drive pulse. Therefore, the magnetic head 14 can be positioned to the target position on the floppy disk 17 with good accuracy in a short time, because the head 14 is accelerated when the drive pulse is impressed upon the head 14 in the short period after the head 14 has started to run and decelerated, when the drive pulse is impressed with a long period, while the head 14 is run at a high speed.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain excellent position detection accuracy without narrowing down the intervals between a scale and a reticle so much by using a spot light source as a light source and specifying the gap between the scale and reticle. CONSTITUTION:The position sensor for a magnetic head is constituted by arranging the reticle RC which has light transmission parts (a) - (d) and the scale SC which has plural slits SL between the light source 9 and photodetectors 5 - 8. Then the spot light source is used as the light source 9 to collimate all irradiation light into parallel light and the gap R between the scale SC and reticle RC is set nearly to P /4lambda, where lambda is the wavelength of the light source and P is the pitch of the light transmission parts of the scale SC. Consequently, each position detection output hardly become dull and the excellent detection accuracy is obtained without narrowing down the gap between the scale SC and reticle RC to current 20mum.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vibration control device capable of easily setting a resonance frequency, simplifying a structure, being used in any attitude, and providing a vibration damping effect and stopper function to vibration inputs in multiple directions. SOLUTION: Cylindrical vibration control rubber bodies 3 are installed projectedly on the side face of a supported body 2, and the tip part thereof is inserted into a tubular bracket 4 fixed to a base body 1. The vibration control rubber bodies 3 are held on the tubular bracket 4 displaceably relative to each other in axial direction, and the displacement thereof to the base end side is restricted by a flange 32 provided at the tip part thereof. Therefore, a spring characteristic can be developed only in a tension direction. Thus, the supported body 2 is supported by the plurality of vibration control rubber bodies 3 and, even when the vibration control device is placed vertically, the resonance frequency can be set easily to increase a vibration control effect.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the number of parts without having a shutter and to reduce a cost by attachably and detachably holding a disk in a non-hermetic state in which a recording surface is largely exposed, locking the disk in a holding state and unlocking the disk by operation from outside. SOLUTION: An auxiliary implement 10 consists of a pocket structure which inserts and holds the optical disk 1 along a guide groove disposed therein without allowing its recording surface into contact with the auxiliary implement 10. The portion of the auxiliary implement 10 corresponding to the central part of the optical disk 1 is provided with a clamper housing part 11 in which a clamper is housed. The desired optical disk 1 is taken out of the disks collectively stored in separate cases just before use and is held at the auxiliary implement 10. The auxiliary implement 10 is inserted in this state into the insertion port 21 of a recording and reproducing device 20. A loading mechanism retracts the auxiliary implement 10 and places the central part of the optical disk 1 onto a turntable. At this time, the central part of the optical disk 1 is clamped to the turntable by the clamper.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve serviceability by setting the constant of each magnetic head at the optimum value, by connecting a damping resistor corresponding to the magnetic head. CONSTITUTION:The damping resistors 17 and 18 consisting of outfitting components are connected to an IC 10 which constitutes a recording and reproduction circuit. Those resistors 17 and 18 constitute the damping resistors for read and write, respectively. Furthermore, it is constituted so that the damping resistors 21 and 22 can be connected to the magnetic heads 21 and 22. Those resistors 21 and 22 are mounted on a head carriage 15 side. In other words, by switching change-over switches 24, 25, and 26, the damping resistor 21 on the head carriage 15 side is connected in parallel with the damping resistor 17 for read, or in parallel with the damping resistor 18 for write. In such a way, it is possible to use the magnetic head being arranged oppositely to a recording medium with the optimum constant, and to improve the serviceability.

Thus, the necessity of providing any cam parts in the rear part of the latch lever 38 is eliminated, space in the rear side is reduced, and the device is miniaturized and its installation space is saved.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a disk entrance/exit opening and reduce a size of a cartridge casing by disposing the disk entrance/exit opening along two sides adjacent to one corner portion of the cartridge casing and a cover body capable of opening and closing the disk entrance/exist opening. SOLUTION: Along two sides adjacent to one corner portion of a cartridge casing 1 provided by combining upper and lower halves, a disk entrance/exit opening 2 is provided so that a disk 3 allows to enter and exit therethrough. The disk entrance/exit opening 2 has such a shape that the corner portion is cut away in an arc shape along a disk shape, and is closed when a cover body 4 is attached while being opened when the cover body 4 is detached. When the cover body 4 is to be attached, engaging projections 5 of the cover body 4 are aligned to receiving concave portions 6 at opposite ends of the disk entrance/exit, opening 2 to be inserted therein, and a locking pawl 10 is engaged with a hole 12, thereby completing attachment of the cover body 4. When the cover body 4 is to be detached, a holding surface 11 is pressed both upward and downward to deform a locking plate 9 thereby detaching the locking pawl 10 from the hole 12. Thus, the cover body 4 is pulled away to be detached, so that the disk entrance/exit opening 2 is opened, thereby enabling a disk to be inserted or ejected.
