Abstract:
A thin-film magnetic head is capable of securing an insulating property and minimizing the projection of a recording element section due to heat expansion. The thin-film magnetic head includes a pair of magnetic layers disposed with a predetermined gap therebetween on a surface facing a recording medium. The layers are connected to each other along an inner part in a height direction from the medium-facing surface. A spiral recording coil is disposed between the pair of magnetic layers and wound around a connecting portion of the pair of magnetic layers. The recording coil includes a dense coil portion formed with a pitch smaller than that of the inner part in the height direction so as to be closer to the medium-facing surface than the connecting portion. An organic insulating layer is locally formed to fill coil gaps of the dense coil portion, and coil gaps other than those of the dense coil portion are filled with an inorganic insulating layer.
Abstract:
A film thickness of second coil layers (second coil pieces) disposed below a main magnetic pole layer (first magnetic layer) is larger than a film thickness of first coil layers (first coil pieces). Hence, while a magnetic path length of magnetic flux flowing through the main magnetic pole layer (first magnetic layer) and a return path layer (second magnetic layer) is decreased by decreasing the film thickness of the first coil layers (first coil pieces) disposed in a space between the main magnetic pole layer (first magnetic layer) and the return path layer (second magnetic layer), series resistance of an entire coil layer can be decreased by increasing the film thickness of the second coil layers (second coil pieces).

An electronic device having a clock portion for counting time and having the time on the clock portion set based on time information acquired from outside has a notification portion that communicates information of the time counted by the clock portion to an external device via a physical line. Alternatively, an electronic device has a first clock portion counting time and an acquisition portion that acquires, from an external device having a second clock portion for counting time and having the time on the second clock portion set based on time information acquired from outside, information of the time counted by the second clock portion via a physical line, and the time on the first clock portion is set based on the information acquired by the acquisition portion.

Abstract:
A control device for a vehicular automatic transmission is provided which can preferably execute backpressure control of accumulators and torque-up control so as to minimize the occurrence of interference between learning on these controls during a gearshift operation. With the control device for the vehicular automatic transmission including the accumulators (104, 106 and 108) operative to control a hydraulic pressure supplied to second and third clutches (C2 and C3) and a third brake (B3), the backpressure control is executed for controlling a backpressure of the accumulators (104, 106 and 108) during the gearshift operation while the torque-up control is executed for raising torque output from an engine (12). Completion of learning on the backpressure control is determined when no completion of learning on the backpressure control is determined, learning on the backpressure control is executed with no execution of the torque-up control. Thus, no interference occur between learning on the backpressure control and the torque-up control.
Abstract:
To provide a perpendicular magnetic recording head which can suppress side fringing while keeping the recording magnetic field intensity from decreasing.In a perpendicular magnetic recording head comprising a main magnetic pole layer and a return yoke layer which are laminated with a magnetic gap layer interposed therebetween on a medium-opposing surface, and a pair of side shield layers positioned on both sides in the track width direction of the main magnetic pole layer while interposing a nonmagnetic material layer therebetween, the magnetic gap layer is formed in a partial area in the track width direction bridging the main magnetic pole layer and the pair of side shield layers. The pair of side shield layers are in contact with the return yoke layer in a remaining area where the magnetic gap layer is absent.
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a main magnetic pole layer and a return yoke layer laminated on the main magnetic pole layer with a magnetic gap layer disposed in an opposing surface opposite a recording medium. Further included is a resist layer having a front end surface at a position retreated from the opposing surface opposite the recording medium to a deeper side in a height direction. The resist layer defines a throat height of the return yoke layer at the front end surface position. A Ti film is formed directly below the resist layer, forming at least a portion of the magnetic gap layer. The Ti film is a non-light transmitting film through which light cannot pass.
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a main magnetic pole layer exposed to an opposing surface opposite a recording medium, applying a perpendicular recording magnetic field to the recording medium; a return yoke layer disposed in the opposing surface opposite the recording medium above or below the main magnetic pole layer, the return yoke layer receiving the recording magnetic field returning thereto after passing through the recording medium; and a planarized nonmagnetic layer filling the surroundings of the return yoke layer to planarized the return yoke layer. Inclined or curved surfaces are formed at both sides in a track width direction of the return yoke layer, the inclined or curved surfaces gradually broadening the dimension of the return yoke layer in the track width direction as the inclined or curved surfaces extend from front end surfaces thereof exposed to the opposing surface opposite the recording medium in the height direction. A cohesive layer is disposed between the return yoke layer and the planarized nonmagnetic layer to increase the cohesive properties between the return yoke layer and the planarized nonmagnetic layer compared with the case in which the return yoke layer is directly connected to the planarized nonmagnetic layer.
