Abstract:
This invention intends to provide a vehicle-mounted driving recorder that can obtain necessary situation data only surely and accurately and that can contribute to effective use of a memory and to facilitation of an after-the-fact analysis of the situation data. The vehicle-mounted driving recorder comprises a situation data receiving section that receives situation data as being data indicating behavior, a surrounding situation and an operation situation of a vehicle and that temporarily stores the situation data in a temporary data storage section specified in a predetermined area of a memory, and a data administration section, in case that a plurality of contents indicated by the received situation data satisfy a previously specified given condition, that transfers a part or all of the situation data during a certain period before and after a time when the condition is satisfied from the temporary data storage section to the situation data storage section specified in a predetermined area of the memory.
Abstract:
A method is used for releasing a graphene layer from a substrate. A graphene layer is first formed on a surface of a first substrate. A metal layer is then formed on a surface of the graphene layer. A pulling force is then applied to the metal layer to detach the graphene layer from the first substrate. The released graphene layer is bonded by intermolecular force onto a surface of a second substrate separate from the first substrate or onto a surface of a bonding layer formed on the surface of the second substrate. The metal layer is then removed, by for example, etching.
Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly to record servo signals, that serves for positioning of data recording magnetic heads and data reproducing magnetic heads, on magnetic tapes includes a servo signal recording head of which sliding surface has a magnetic gap embedded thereon in order to record the servo signals onto a magnetic tape and guide blocks which are set adjacent to at least one of the up-stream position or the down-stream position of a line of magnetic tape passing the servo signal recording head and are slightly set back from the sliding surface of the recording head so that said magnetic tape slides an edge of the servo signal recording head and an edge of the guide block.

Abstract:
An information reproducing device includes a setting unit that sets priority for displaying appended data appended to compressed data in a compressed data file, such as an MP3 file. The appended data is appended at various positions to the compressed data. A reading unit reads a compressed data file, an extracting unit extracts appended data from the compressed data file based on the priority set, and a display unit displays the extracted appended data. A reproducing unit reproduces the compressed data.
Abstract:
A coil apparatus capable of insulating a one-turn coil from an adjacent member while requiring a small number of members. In the coil apparatus according to the present invention, a retaining piece is formed at one end and a pair of coil terminals are formed at another end of a round coil constituted of a metal plate. A fitting wall at which the coil main body is fitted and first and second retaining portions formed by notching two portions of the fitting wall facing opposite each other are formed in the insulating case. The coil main body is fitted at the fitting wall of the insulating case, the coil terminals at one end of the coil are retained at the first retaining portion as the coil is turned and the coil is insulated from the core by retaining the retaining piece at the second retaining portion and thus preventing the coil from becoming lifted. The center of the coil constituted of a metal plate is aligned on a line extending from the central line passing the center of one of the pair of coil terminals along the widthwise direction.
