In a thin film magnetic head having a dual coil layer structure, a third insulation layer having a third apex and a third sloping region is formed to cover a second coil layer, and the third apex is located on a second plane region, and the top of a second insulation layer and the third sloping region establish a first pocket region P1.
Abstract:
The coating apparatus has an air shielding device to prevent a curtain of coating liquids, which free-falls from a coating head, from being disturbed by an air carried along by a traveling web. The coating apparatus also has a device to move the air shielding device. Before and at the start of coating, the air shielding device is kept far from an impingement position where the free-falling curtain impinges onto the web. Just after the start of coating, the air shielding device is moved close to the impingement position. This prevents the air shielding device from being contaminated with splashes of the coating liquids, and the like.
Abstract:
A computer graphics data display device and method simplify a movement interference calculation by use of an interference attribute of an object, and control a process time by predicting a display time of a frame. Furthermore, the number of simultaneously calculated moving objects is restricted to speed up the calculation, and a retrieving process can also be performed at a high speed using display data obtained by compressing editing data. If any change has arisen in the editing data, only change data are transmitted to a display data memory unit, and the editing data and the display data are concurrently processed. Thus, dynamic images can be successfully displayed with reality.
Abstract:
A curtain-type coating liquid application device having a slide hopper and an application start plate used to prevent an increase in the thickness of the initially applied portion of the liquid on a web to thereby make the initial coating portion flat and smooth. Liquid freely falling in the form of a thin curtain from the slide hopper is caused to collide against the web continuously moving around a backup roller so that the liquid is applied to the web. The application start plate is curved or bent and is turnable about a fulcrum located under the backup roller. The application start plate also has an upper end extending at an oblique angle to the direction of width of the curtain, or it may be provided with a curtain receiving part at the upper end of the plate.
Abstract:
An improvement in the method for assaying normetanephrine and octopamine. A procedure is used in which the phenylethanolamine in a sample is enzymatically transmethylated in an incubation mixture of the phenylethanolamine, a compound containing a transferable tritiated methyl group and a transfer enzyme, to form a tritiated N-methyl derivative, and the radioactivity of the derivative is measured. In accordance with the present improvement, incubation of the mixture is conducted at a pH of at least 8.6, preferably in the range of 8.8-9.3. Prior to incubation, as appropriate, the sample may be deproteinized and the phenylethanolamine concentrated.
Abstract:
A mechanical cleaner for carpets or floors comprising a main casing having driving wheels which protrude through an open bottom and are rotatable by movement of the cleaner. A rotatable brush, driven by the wheels, is adapted to brush dust from the carpet or floor into a dust box on the main casing. A vertically moveable means for releasably mounting the brush comprises a pair of swinging frames, one end of each of which is rotatably journaled on the casing at a point spaced apart from the other swinging frame. The brush is rotatably mounted between the ends of the frames opposite the location of the journals and are urged downwardly. There is an engaging means on the casing which will releasably engage the frames and limit their downward movement. As a result, releasing the engaging means permits the frames carrying the brush to rotate downwardly to allow the brush to be detached and replaced by a new brush.
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:
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.
