摘要:
An ultrasonic wave transmitter device includes an ultrasonic wave driving circuit that modulates an ultrasonic wave based on a pseudorandom signal to generate an ultrasonic wave driving signal, and an ultrasonic wave transmitter driven by the ultrasonic wave driving signal to send out an ultrasonic wave signal of a frequency higher than a fundamental frequency of the ultrasonic wave driving signal. The ultrasonic wave transmitter includes a cylindrically-shaped piezoelectric or magnetostrictive element sending out the ultrasonic wave signal and an ultrasonic wave absorber that covers part of a base member holding the piezoelectric or magnetostrictive element.

To enable precise calculation of a propagation time of a direct wave which arrives fastest from an ultrasonic generation source without being affected by a reflected wave of an ultrasonic signal.A plurality of ultrasonic signals generated based on a plurality of M sequences different from each other are propagated from a transmission side to a reception side, whereby the reception side generates model waveforms of the plurality of M sequences, executes correlation processing between each model waveform and a waveform of each ultrasonic signal and detects a secondary peak of a correlation value which appears when both waveforms partly coincide with each other to determine an M sequence which generates a smallest secondary peak among secondary peaks detected by all the correlation processing as an optimum M sequence. The transmission side sends out an electromagnetic signal and an ultrasonic signal modulated by an optimum M sequence generated based on an initial condition of the optimum M sequence to the reception side. The reception side calculates a correlation value between the ultrasonic signal and a model waveform of the ultrasonic modulated by the optimum M sequence, detects a first primary peak of the calculated correlation value and calculates an ultrasonic propagation time from a time point of the reception of the electromagnetic signal and a time point of the detection of the primary peak.

High-quality and high-speed electronic pen drawing performance is ensured without being affected by noise of an ultrasonic signal which is generated by an apparatus using ultrasonic such as a motion detector. In an ultrasonic receiver for use in ultrasonic propagation time measurement, an external environment noise is measured to first determine a frequency. Thereafter, centered around the frequency, a band elimination filter having a several kHz band is structured as software to again measure an external environment noise. This sequence is repeated until a signal intensity lowers below a predetermined value. When the signal intensity fails to lower below the predetermined value even after a predetermined number of repetitions of the sequence, a transmission output on the side of an electronic pen as an ultrasonic transmission source is increased or an ultrasonic oscillation frequency is changed.

A floating head slider having an air bearing surface is manufactured by forming a read/write element over the top surface of a rail forming substrate and over the sidewall of a groove formed into the rail forming substrate. A flattening film is formed over the read/write element to planarize the structure, and a slider base substrate is stacked over the flattening film. Parallel rails are formed on the bottom of the rail forming substrate by etching a flat recess into the bottom of the rail forming substrate, thereby forming the air bearing surface. A signal line is connected to the read/write element by filling a hole in the slider base substrate and the flattening film with a conductive material. The rail forming substrate and the slider base substrate are cut along the side surface of the groove to expose the portion of the read/write element formed on the side surface of the groove, and the rail forming surface is polished to form a front gap portion of the read/write element.
