摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an inspection method for detecting a physical defect of a magnetic disk with high sensitivity without increasing the length of inspection time. In a magnetic disk drive according to one embodiment, the assembling of which has been completed, by reading inspection data written to a magnetic disk, a defect of the magnetic disk is detected in a state in which a read error occurs. Redundant bits of an ECC are added to the inspection data. If a head corresponding to a recording surface to be inspected has superior read performance, an ECC 2 is applied. If the head in question has inferior read performance, an ECC 4 is applied. Accordingly, as compared with a case where a single ECC is applied, the defect detectivity is further improved without increasing the length of inspection time.

An apparatus and method is disclosed which can efficiently execute construction of a contents management database and setting of a reproduction list. The information processing apparatus includes a storage section for storing a plurality of pieces of contents and a data processing section. The data processing section sets a directory having a tree structure, sets layer attribute information representative of attributes of layers which form the tree structure, and coordinates each of pieces of the layer attribute information with a group which includes contents or a group belonging to a lower layer than the layer indicated by the piece of the layer attribute information to produce a group tree as a contents management directory composed of the groups and the contents.

A position control system for a magnetic head improves servo tracking characteristics in a low frequency range without impairing the stability of seek operations. The position control system is equipped with two integrators: a first integrator 43 and second integrator 45. The gain K3′ of the second integrator 45 is set larger than the gain K3 of the first integrator 43. The first integrator 43 plays the role of offsetting the bias force acting on the magnetic head while the second integrator 45 plays the role of improving the servo tracking characteristics in the low frequency range.

A gate insulating film in a memory cell portion is thicker than a gate insulating film in a peripheral circuitry. Source/drain of an MOS transistor in the memory cell portion have double-diffusion-layer structures, respectively, and source/drain of an MOS transistor in the peripheral circuitry have triple-diffusion-layer structures, respectively.

Wires are formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate via a silicon oxide film. A nitride film is formed on the wires and the upper edge corner parts of the nitride film are rounded. Another nitride film, covering the nitride film, is formed and an interlayer oxide film is formed so as to cover this film. Contact holes are formed in the interlayer oxide film which reach the nitride film as well as the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and plug parts are formed within those contact holes.

A remaining fuel Z is calculated by subtracting a fuel injection amount J supplied to an engine 14 from stored fuel F measured by a fuel meter 12. A fuel economy Fm is calculated by dividing a running distance M of a vehicle by a fuel injection amount J. A cruising distance K is calculated by multiplying the remaining fuel Z and the fuel economy Fm.

A drive method of a plasma display panel is disclosed by which prescribed luminance is obtained when display load amount is large, and no luminance saturation is generated when the display load amount is small. This is a method of driving a plasma display panel by which luminescence of sub-fields at prescribed gradations is obtained by employing n sustaining pulses, and the time from the start of charge recovery of the sustaining pulses to the fixation of the output line to a sustaining potential and the time to the fixation to the ground potential are made variable.

Data to be used for generating tone waveform data corresponding to a partial time section of a tone are stored in a basic file or expansion file. In a wave part area of each of the files, there are stored wave part data to be used for generating tone waveform data corresponding to a partial time section of a tone, and the wave part data includes information designating several groups of template data indicative of variations, in the partial time section, of a plurality of tone factors, such as a waveform template, pitch template, amplitude template, spectrum template and time template. Each of the expansion files contains data representative of differences from data stored in the corresponding basic file. The data are stored in such a manner as to avoid overlapping data storage, in order to minimize the total quantity of data.

A storage medium stores a mapping file defining a set of timbres and mapping a plurality of waveforms to the set of timbres according to performance information. The mapping file is composed of a set of information blocks corresponding to the set of the timbres. The information block contains specification information for specifying waveforms associated to the corresponding timbre, and selection information for selecting one or more of the specified waveforms according to the performance information to thereby map the selected waveform to the timbre. The storage medium stores a first mapping file defining a first set of timbres and containing a plurality of waveforms originally mapped to the first set of timbres, and a second mapping file defining a second set of timbres and containing attribute information for linking the second mapping file to the first mapping file to enable mapping of the waveforms contained in the first mapping file to the second set of the timbres, such that the second mapping file may involve an information block containing specification information for specifying waveforms contained in the first mapping file.
