A method of servo writing for each track of a magnetic recording medium divided into a plurality of circular tracks including performing a phase adjustment operation by controlling a phase of a recording current according to a skew angle formed by a magnetic head and a track of the magnetic recording medium, and writing a servo pattern when the magnetic recording medium is magnetized using a magnetic head so as to have a magnetized pattern corresponding to a servo pattern.
Abstract:
A method of determining a amount of ice collected in a storage container of a refrigerator, the ice being discharged into the storage container by an ice maker having an ice detecting sensor with a heater, the method comprises determining whether or not the ice storage container is full or nearly full of ice by turning on the detecting sensor for a prescribed period of time. In one embodiment, the heater is turned on while the determining step is preformed. In an alternative embodiment, the heater is continuously maintained in an “ON” state.

The ice detecting sensor has a transmitter module provided on one side of the ice maker and a receiver module provided on another side of the ice maker. The transmitter module is separated by a prescribed distance from the receiver module. At least one of the transmitter module or receiver module includes at least one optical element and at least one heater, and the heater is made of an electroconductive heating material.
Abstract:
An ice detecting apparatus of an ice maker disposed to make ice in a refrigerator includes an ice maker and an ice detecting sensor to detect an ice-full state of ice discharged from the ice maker. The ice detecting sensor may be disposed at the ice maker. The ice detecting sensor may also be heated by a heater.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording head includes a return pole, a writing pole spaced a predetermined distance from the return pole, an induction writing coil forming a magnetic field on the writing pole, and a writing pole shield formed on the same plane as the writing pole.
Abstract:
An apparatus for restoring network information for a home network system and a method thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes at least one slave having means for communicating with an external appliances; a master having means for communicating with the slave, checking a state of the slave, storing state information of the slave, and providing the state information to the slave when the slave is reset; and a home network unit connecting the communication means of the master and the slave to form a network of the master and the slave.
Abstract:
Provided is a magnetic head having a magnetic thin film structure that reduces the effect of a stray field and generates a magnetization reversal at a high speed. The magnetic head includes a first pole, a second pole spaced apart from the first pole, and an induction coil that induces a magnetic field in the first and second poles, wherein the first and second poles include a pole tip in which a leakage flux for recording is generated, and a head yoke that guides the flux flowing in the poles, and at least one implant for controlling a magnetic domain, the implant formed in at least one of the first and second poles. The magnetic thin film can effectively reduce the effect of a stray field entering from the outside, and can control a domain wall motion so that high speed magnetic recording is possible, by generating a magnetization reversal at a high speed corresponding to a magnetic field applied by an induction coil.
Abstract:
Provided is a magnetic recording apparatus including a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic recording position patterned of a magnetic substance and a read head reading information from the magnetic recording medium, wherein the magnetic recording medium includes: a data area having the magnetic recording position patterned including a plurality of data tracks; and a servo area including a servo burst for tracking the data tracks, wherein the servo burst includes a plurality of bursts deviating from one another in a downtrack direction, and a width of each of the bursts is equal to or greater than a width of the read head and narrower than twice the width of the read head. According to this structure, although data is reproduced using a read head having a greater width than a width of each of data tracks, a linear section in which an output voltage is reduced depending on a size of an off-track is formed. As a result, a dead zone can be removed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is the auger in an ice bin mounted in a refrigerator, and the like. The auger in the ice bin is configured to rotate an auger having spiral-shaped transfer blades and to dispose ice in each space between the transfer blades of the auger for transfer. Accordingly, a certain amount of ice can always be discharged without simultaneously discharging a great amount of ice, and a user may select the number of ice, thus to diversity functions of an ice dispenser. In addition, since the auger is made of a flexible material, the ice can be prevented from being crushed during transfer, thereby enhancing the reliability of the ice dispenser.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus and a control method thereof are disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of photosensitive, an intermediate transfer belt which contacts the photosensitive bodies and transfers developed toner images to a paper, a first transfer roller, a second transfer roller, a cleaning blade which removes residual toner from the intermediate transfer belt after transfer, and a control unit for controlling the intermediate transfer belt. If a print command is input, the control unit drives the intermediate transfer belt, and calculates an intermediate transfer belt moving time (T1) from a distance between a nip point (P1) of the intermediate transfer belt and the second transfer roller and a contact point (P2) of the intermediate transfer belt and the cleaning blade and a linear velocity of the intermediate transfer belt. If it is determined that an image first edge position (E2) on the intermediate transfer belt passes by the nip point (P1), the control unit determines whether a moving time of the image first edge position (E2) reaches the intermediate transfer belt moving time (T1). If it is determined that the moving time of the image first edge position (E2) reaches the intermediate transfer belt moving time (T1), the control unit controls the intermediate transfer belt to be stopped.
