A head and disk system for use in a disk drive that includes a slider having a surface that contacts the disk. This disk contacting surface of the slider is textured with pads, bumps, an etched surface or an otherwise roughened surface. The contact area of the disk has a greater roughness than a data zone. The head disk system exhibits acceptable stiction. Additionally, low glide avalanche over the CSS zone, thus enabling low fly height, is achieved.

A self-checking circuit, which is useful for a highly reliable system configuration, includes a logic circuit having an error detection function. For function blocks for feeding out a plurality of signals that are at least duplexed, the logic circuit compares the output signals of the function blocks, and detects an error on the basis of results of the comparison. The logic circuit comprises synthesizing means provided to superimpose inherent waveforms assigned in advance to the respective output signals of the function blocks onto the output signals of one of the function blocks. The inherent waveforms are orthogonal waveforms generated by an orthogonal waveform generator circuit. The logic circuit also comprises comparison means for comparing a signal output of the synthesizing means with the signal output of the other function block to detect an error. The whole circuit including the function blocks are judged normal only if the waveforms inherent to both output signals exist.

An apparatus for creating an ICC profile in a simple manner without using a specialized measuring instrument. A display control unit reads out a dot pattern image from a pattern image data holding unit and a grayscale pattern image containing a plurality of grayscale patches of gradually varying gray scale from a grayscale image data holding unit, and presents the thus readout images for display on a display device. A user selects the grayscale patch having brightness closest to the brightness of the dot pattern image by operating a selection unit. Based on the selection, a gamma coefficient value is calculated by a gamma coefficient value calculation unit, and based on this gamma coefficient value, a profile creation unit modifies the ICC profile held in a common information holding unit and thus creates a customized ICC profile.

A third color data which is at the same hue angle as that of first color data and also has the highest chroma within a color gamut of a printer and a fourth color data for an achromatic color having the same lightness as that of the third color data are acquired. First color data are converted to second color data based on the target color data located at any of a first line linking the fourth color data to color data corresponding to the black color in the color gamut of the printer, on a second line linking the fourth color data to color data corresponding to the white color in the color gamut of the printer, or on a third line linking the fourth color data to the third color data.

A disk drive having spacers to compensate for disk warpage is described. The spacers are positioned on opposite sides of a disk with each spacer contacting the disk a different radial position relative to the center of the disk. The offset contact areas result in displaced moments on the disk, with respect to each other, when the spacers are clamped to the disk. The moments generated by the clamped spacers provide a torque on a warped disk to improve its flatness.

A method in accordance with our invention for providing texture bumps on a substrate comprises the step of forming elliptical ridge-shaped bumps on the substrate. In one embodiment, substrate is used in the manufacture of a magnetic disk used in a disk drive. The elliptical bumps cause less vibration of the read-write head than circular bumps. The elliptical bumps also provide reduced friction between the disk and a read-write head during use.

In a projection type display apparatus for illuminating a projection original image with light from a projection light source, and projecting light transmitted through the illuminated original image using a projection lens, light reflected by a projection surface is extracted from a position at an original image side of the projection lens or in the projection lens, and the extracted light is received by a focus detection unit.

A point at a position near the contour of a desired object in an image being processed is designated, and a boundary point on the contour of the object is detected on the basis of the designation. From the detected boundary point, other points on the object-contour are subsequently detected to detect the object-contour. When the object-contour has been detected, either the inside or the outside of the object-contour is uniformly filled with prescribed image data, so as to extract the object from the image. Extracted image data resulting from the extraction is output. The extracted image data may include mask data indicating the color mixing ratio at a boundary portion between the object and the background thereof so that color adjustment or image composition can be performed using the mask data.

The present invention generally relates to processing of color images and more particularly to a method for smoothing a color boundary between an object and a background. A method for changing the color of an object against the color of a background to smooth the color boundary between the object and the background includes the steps of: identifying the color of the boundary part of the object as a boundary color; obtaining a mixing ratio for mixing the color of the object and the color of the background to produce the boundary color; changing the color of the object relative to the color of the background; and changing the boundary color while maintaining the mixing ratio substantially constant at the boundary part before and after the color change process.
摘要:
A saddle type pipe joint for construction of branching connections, composed of a saddle-shaped main pipe-connecting part and a cylindrical branching pipe-connecting part. The two parts are integrally molded by a reaction molding, composed of a shape-memorized plastic resin, and have on the inner surfaces a fusion-bonding plastic resin layer containing a conductive filler. The pipe joint is made by polymerising a reactive liquid stock for a shape-memorizable plastic resin in a mold using a core made of a fusible plastic resin containing a conductive filler; cutting the main pipe part of the molded composite article along its length at the side opposite to the branching pipe-connecting site; and opening side edges of the thus-cut main pipe. The construction of branching connections is carried out by utilizing the restoration of the shape-memorized plastic resin to the original shape.
