A mobile X-ray apparatus that performs a stable operation even if a sudden voltage drop or momentary power interruption occurs during operation of a commercial AC power source. The mobile X-ray apparatus includes a plug for connection to a commercial AC power source, a battery charged from the commercial AC power source through the plug, a unit that operates by being supplied with electricity from the commercial AC power source connected through the plug, and a second circuit including a rectifier that supplies electricity to the unit from the battery if a voltage from the commercial AC power source falls to or below a regulated value while the unit is being operated by the electricity supply from the commercial AC power source.

A method of making a light emitting element, the light emitting element with a semiconductor layer represented by: AlXInYGa1−X−YN (0≦X≦1, 0≦Y≦1, 0≦X+Y≦1), has the step of wet-etching a surface of the semiconductor layer by using an etching solution to have a roughened surface on the semiconductor layer. The wet-etching is conducted without irradiating the surface of the semiconductor layer with a light with a wavelength region corresponding to energy higher than bandgap energy of the semiconductor layer.

An optical scanner is capable of effectively correcting a difference with respect to the sub-scanning direction between the positions of optical spots for scanning photoconductor drums of a tandem type color image forming apparatus. The optical scanner includes an optical axis adjusting part. The optical axis adjusting part uses a deflecting mirror or a wedge-shaped prism to deflect the optical axis of an optical beam with respect to the sub-scanning direction. As a result, it is possible to accurately correct a resist difference among individual image forming stations and form a high-quality color image without any color displacement.

Embodiments of the invention relate to diagnosing error-correcting retries of an upper system by using a disk drive under control of the upper system. In one embodiment, a microprocessor can operate in any of at least two operation modes. One is normal operation mode while the other is pseudo failure operation mode. Mode switching is made by a switch. Strictly, the pseudo failure operation mode includes three different operation modes: 1) pseudo logical error report mode in which a pseudo logical error is reported to the upper system without performing disk control; 2) pseudo component circuit failure mode in which a control circuit is forced to cause a failure by setting invalid control values to the control circuits; and 3) pseudo interface failure mode in which a pseudo interface failure in the system comprising multiple disk drives is reported by setting an invalid control value to the interface control circuit.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate to determination of a connecting status of a device in a system constituted by a plurality of devices connected via information transmission path in a loop, such as fibre channel arbitrated loop. Particular embodiments of the present invention may help to prevent a bypassed device from performing an improper process at a loop initialization process. According to one embodiment, each device checks its own bypass status at a loop initialization process. The device which has become a loop master determines that it is not bypassed by itself. In an address obtaining step, the device checks whether or not the device itself can actually obtain the address which the device tried to obtain by means of a bit map of the received frame and determines that the device is not bypassed if the address is not obtained. The device checks whether or not the address which has been stored in a predetermined position of a position map exists. If it does not exist, the device determines that it is bypassed.

A warning against the possible failure is accurately sent from the magnetic disk device to a host device. In one embodiment, error indices per unit time are stored discontinuously/continuously for each magnetic head, and if the new index (partial integral error rate) updated with the stored multiple error indices as the items to be monitored satisfies required conditions, this state is diagnosed as an abnormality or a pseudo-abnormality, and reported to the host device. The partial integral error rate is updated with an increase in the number of sets of error indices. Each time a new set of error indices per unit time are stored, the oldest of the existing error indices to be monitored is discarded and one of the new error indexes is added. In this way, a new partial integral error rate is calculated from the fixed number of new sets of error indices to be monitored. When the partial integral error rate increases above a second required threshold, this state is reported as an abnormality to the host device since a failure is most likely to occur in the magnetic disk device.

Embodiments of the present invention help improve the process for updating parities accompanied by the writing process. According to one embodiment, a host controller transmits a write command and new data to a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD reads old data at a region where the new data are to be written. The HDD then XORs the new data and the old data to generate a pseudo-parity. The HDD sets the pseudo-parity in a data frame addressed to both of a horizontal parity disk drive HDD and a diagonal parity disk drive HDD and transmits it. The horizontal parity disk drive HDD and the diagonal parity disk drive HDD update the parities using the pseudo-parity.
