摘要:
A fluid dynamic bearing mechanism includes a stationary bearing portion including a sleeve portion, and a rotating bearing portion including an outer rotating portion. A lubricating oil is arranged between the stationary and rotating bearing portions. A first dynamic pressure groove array is arranged in an upper surface of the sleeve portion or a lower surface of the outer rotating portion. A second dynamic pressure groove array is arranged in a surface of the outer rotating portion or a surface of the stationary bearing portion in a region between the first array and a liquid surface. An end of the second array closer to the liquid surface is arranged radially inward of an opposite end of the second array. An upper end opening of a communicating channel defined in the sleeve portion is arranged radially outward of a radially inner end of the first array.

A fluid dynamic bearing apparatus includes a first minute gap, a second minute gap, a third minute gap, a fourth minute gap, and a fifth minute gap. A flow of a lubricating oil from the fifth minute gap to the fourth minute gap is caused by a plurality of dynamic pressure generating grooves arranged within the fluid dynamic bearing apparatus. This flow causes air bubbles mixed in the lubricating oil within the fifth minute gap to flow toward the third minute gap and be discharged to an outside through the third minute gap. In addition, a flow of the lubricating oil into the third minute gap caused by a centrifugal force accompanying rotation is inhibited.
摘要:
The present invention achieves data relocation in accordance with a user's policies, in an environment where a plurality of storage devices coexist. The volumes belonging to storage devices A-D are managed virtually integrally. A host recognizes a plurality of storage devices A-D as a single virtual storage device. The user is able to group arbitrarily each volume belonging to the storage system, as a plurality of storage layers 1-3. For example, storage layer 1 can be defined as a high-reliability layer, storage layer 2, as a low-cost layer, and storage layer 3, as an archive layer. Each storage layer is constituted by a group of volumes corresponding to respective policies (high reliability, low cost, archiving). The user designates volumes V1 and V2 to be moved, in group units, and indicates a storage layer forming a movement destination, whereby the data is relocated.

When a volume belonging to a first storage tier is relocated to a second storage tier, in the event that an empty volume satisfying capacity conditions is not present in the second storage tier, an empty volume satisfying the capacity conditions within volumes belonging to a third storage tier is virtually allocated to the second storage tier, a further virtual empty volume is formed, and the volume is virtually relocated to the further virtual empty volume.

Provided are a method and apparatus having simplified operation for data storage according to which data, for example, images contained in a home page, are stored in a computer system, and a recording medium employed in the method and apparatus. The computer system stores images contained in a home page that is composed of character information and image information and that is displayed in a screen. Herein, a document describing the home page and written in a given language is read. Source files of storable images contained in the home page are retrieved from the document. Image information of the images is listed based on the retrieved source files. A desired image is selected from the listed image information. The selected image is then stored on a recording medium.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit is segmented into a plurality of blocks. Each block includes a switching transistor which is connected between the CMOS circuit of the block and the ground point and is adapted to shut off the current of the CMOS circuit by being controlled by a test mode control signal, and a leakage current detecting circuit which has a self-check function for the block. A signal which is the logical sum of the outputs of the leakage current detecting circuits of all blocks is led out of the semiconductor integrated circuit through a common external output terminal.
