Abstract:
A main magnetic pole layer is formed on an insulating layer flattened into a high-flatness surface, and a yoke layer having a large film thickness is formed under the main magnetic pole layer independently of the main magnetic pole. The main magnetic pole layer has a front end surface formed in a shape with a width size gradually increasing in a direction of track width as the front end surface departs farther away from an auxiliary magnetic pole layer. A perpendicular magnetic recording head can be provided which can suppress the occurrence of fringing in a recording pattern, and can form the main magnetic pole layer with high pattern accuracy, and can satisfactorily introduce a recording magnetic field to a fore end of the main magnetic pole layer.

Abstract:
Within a vacuum vessel, there are arranged an electron emitting part emitting an electron beam in a first direction, and an optical amplifying part amplifying incident light with the help of energy of the electron beam. The optical amplifying part includes a flat dielectric substrate made of a quartz glass, a rectilinear dielectric optical waveguide provided on the flat dielectric substrate, made of a dielectric material having a high refractive index and extending in said first direction, input and output optical waveguides provided on the dielectric substrate and being coupled with both ends of the dielectric optical waveguide, and a pair of electron beam converging electrodes arranged on respective sides of the dielectric optical waveguide. A velocity of the incident light is delayed during propagation through the dielectric optical waveguide, and a part of the incident light penetrates from the dielectric optical waveguide into the vacuum in the form of evanescent light. The electron beam is confined in a narrow region above the dielectric optical waveguide by means of an electric field produced by said electrodes, and the thus confined electron beam effectively interacts with an optical component of the evanescent light directed in the electron beam travelling direction to amplify the incident light.
Abstract:
In a pattern used to manufacture a palm member for a baseball glove, the central lines of all the thumb and finger portions cross on a ball receiving surface. A palm member is formed by cutting a material based on pattern and the palm member and a back member are combined to manufacture a baseball glove.
Abstract:
Within a vacuum vessel 10, there are arranged an electron gun 2 emitting an electron beam and an amplification part 3 which amplifies incident light 7 by means of the energy of the electron beam. The amplification part 3 is formed by two wave-like mirrors 4 and 5 made of a metal such as Ag or a multi-layer structure of dielectric materials, said mirrors being separated from each other to constitute not only an electron beam travelling part, but also a light input part 4a, 5a, a light amplifying part 4b, 5b and a light output part 4c, 5c arranged in this order viewed in a travelling direction of the electron beam. The light is made incident upon the light input part at a given incident angle, and propagates along the wave-like or zigzag optical waveguide within the light amplifying part by repeating reflections. Therefore, the wavenumber of the light is increased, and the light is amplified in a unidirectional manner by the energy of the electron beam. The thus amplified light emanates from the light output part at a given exit angle.
Abstract:
A process for purifying a polyether, which comprises adding to a polyether (A) containing a first salt, water (B) and a compound (C) which is capable of reacting with an ion constituting the first salt to form a second salt which is essentially insoluble in the polyether (A), then removing water, followed by removing the second salt from the polyether (A).

Abstract:
A plasma processing apparatus comprises a reaction chamber, an upper electrode, a lower electrode which confronts the upper electrode and also functions as a sample stage, means of supplying RF power between the upper electrode and lower electrode such that the RF power is supplied to one of the upper and lower electrodes, with another electrode and the reaction chamber being grounded, and RF impedance matching means, wherein the capacitance between the grounded electrode and the reaction chamber is 125 pF or less. The apparatus is capable of stabilizing the plasma generation and alleviating the occurrence of sudden deterioration of the repeatability of plasma processing and unequal performance of plasma processing among individual apparatus. The apparatus can be applied suitably to etching apparatus having small electrode spacing and using a chlorine compound gas or a bromine compound gas such as Cl.sub.2 or HBr.
Abstract:
The electrical insulation performance between a lower shield layer and a main electrode layer is improved in a magnetoresistive head using a magnetoresistive element. A lower gap layer made of alumina is formed on the surface of the lower shield layer, and an MR element, a longitudinal bias layer, and an upper gap layer are formed thereon. In a portion facing a magnetic medium, the MR element, the longitudinal bias layer, and the gap layers appear between the lower shield layer and the upper shield layer, and the gap length GL is determined by the lower gap layer and the upper gap layer. In the portion other than the portion facing the magnetic medium, the lower gap layer and the upper gap layer are interposed between the main electrode layer and the lower shield layer, and the main electrode layer is connected to the longitudinal bias layer through the upper gap layer. The two gap layers are interposed between the main electrode layer and the lower shield layer, and the electrical insulation performance between the main electrode layer and the lower shield layer is improved.
Abstract:
A method of producing sustained-release microcapsules containing a biologically active substance from an W/O emulsion comprising an inner aqueous phase containing said biologically active substance and an external oil phase containing a biodegradable polymer, characterized in that microcapsules formed on microencapsulation of said biologically active substance with said biodegradable polymer are heated at a temperature not lower than the glass transition temperature of said biodegradable polymer but not so high as to cause aggregation of the microcapsules. This method enables the production of very useful sustained release microcapsules adapted to release a bologically active substance at a calculated rate over a protracted time period starting immediately following administration without an initial burst within one day following administration.
