摘要:
A p or n type thermoelectric material containing, as constituent elements, at least one of Bi and Sb and at least one of Te and Se. The n type one may further contain at least one element selected from I, Cl, Hg, Br, Ag, and Cu. The thermoelectric material has a sea-island microstructure, in which the sea phase is crystal grains having an average grain size of 5 μm or smaller with their c-axes aligned unidirectionally, and the island phase is elongated crystal gains with an average length of 20 to 50 μm that are randomly distributed in the sea phase. The island phase has a microstructure in which at least one of the constituent elements is segregated. A process of producing the thermoelectric material includes mixing a sinter material with a powder having a higher Te content than the sinter material and applying heat and pressure to the mixture.

A recording device for performing recording supporting an optical disk-shaped recording medium having a laminated structure includes a first recording layer and a second recording layer. The recording device includes: a recording section configured to record data in the first recording layer and the second recording layer by irradiating the optical disk-shaped recording medium with laser light; a recording control section configured to control the recording section so as to perform recording in the first recording layer first and next perform recording in the second recording layer when the recording is performed sequentially on the optical disk-shaped recording medium; a pseudo defect area setting section configured to set a pseudo defect area in the second recording layer; and a defect registering section configured to register the real defect area and the pseudo defect area as a defect area.

In the information recording apparatus, by driving the light source by the pulse signal corresponding to the recording signal, the laser pulse corresponding to the recording signal is irradiated onto the recording medium. The recording signal has the mark period to form the recording mark, and the space period in which the recording mark is not formed. In the mark period, the output level of the laser pulse changes between the normal level and the writing level, thereby, the recording mark is formed on the recording medium. On the one hand, over a predetermined period in the space period, the output level of the laser pulse is changed to the low level lower than the normal level. Thereby, the heat accumulation onto the recording medium, due to the transient response of the laser pulse in the mark period, is reduced, and in the mark period after that, the correct recording mark can be formed.

A tilt correcting apparatus makes a tilt correction in an information recording apparatus or the like capable of recording record information onto an information recording medium, on an information recording surface of which a track having a wobble is formed, by emitting laser light thereonto. The tilt correcting apparatus is provided with: a correcting device for changing an irradiation angle of the laser light; a controlling device for controlling the correcting device such that the irradiation angle is set to be each of a plurality of predetermined angles before the record information is recorded; a wobble detecting device for detecting a wobble signal corresponding to the wobble from a photo-detection signal of light from the track caused by the laser light; and a tilt determining device for determining an amount of tilt of the information recording surface, on the basis of the detected wobble signal. The controlling device controls the correcting device to correct the irradiation angle in accordance with the determined amount of tilt when the record information is recorded.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to improve convenience of a recording medium and improve efficiency of a reading and a writing process. Audio annual ring data, video annual ring data, low-resolution annual ring data, and meta annual ring data extracted from data series of metadata, an audio file, a video file, and low resolution data are written to a free space on an optical disk in order of a body, a footer, and a header in order to improve the convenience of the recording medium by enabling a quick edit process, for example, and improve the efficiency of the reading and writing process by preventing occurrence of an unnecessary writing process. The present invention is applicable to disk apparatus for recording video data or audio data.
摘要:
Video data of a plurality of different formats is mixedly recorded onto one disc-shaped recording medium so that they can be continuously reproduced. A clip is constructed by video data, audio data, auxiliary AV data, and time-sequential meta data which are time-sequentially associated. The data is managed by a directory structure. The data constructing the clip is collectively stored into clip directories under a directory CLPR. When the format of, for example, the video data is changed during the recording, the clip is divided at the changing position, a clip directory is newly formed, and a new clip is formed. The mixture existence of the formats among the clip directories is permitted. The mixture existence of the formats in the file stored in the clip directory is not permitted.
摘要:
A method of bonding a piezoelectric element and an electrode, including the steps of forming a first coating of a material selected from the group consisting of Au, Al, Zn, Cu, and Sn on a bonding surface of the piezoelectric element, and forming a second coating of a material selected from the group consisting of Au, Al, Zn, Cu, and Sn on a bonding surface of the electrode. The combination of the materials of the first and second coatings is preferably Au/Au, Au/Al, Zn/Cu, or Sn/Cu. The method further includes the step of bringing the first and second coatings into close contact with each other and heating them under pressure to form a metallic bond or intermetallic compound between the first and second coatings, thereby bonding the piezoelectric element and the electrode.

A semiconductor excitation solid-state laser apparatus, in which a cross-sectional area of an optical guide plate leading an excited beam emitted from a semiconductor laser element to a solid-state laser medium is made larger in the side of the semiconductor laser element thereof, while a cross-sectional area thereof is made smaller in the side of the solid-state laser medium.
摘要:
Successive bytes of data are recorded in successive sectors on a disk medium by N recording heads. Successive data units, each formed of multiple bytes, are written sequentially into N memory devices, and those N memory devices are sequentially read to supply a data unit from one memory device to a corresponding recording head, thereby recording a data unit in successive sectors on the disk medium. The same N heads can be used to reproduce the recorded bytes from the disk medium.
