Abstract: A motor control device controls a drive of a motor having a coil, and includes a drive circuit and a control unit. The drive circuit has a plurality of switching elements, and switches the energization of the coil. The control unit includes an energization control part and a current limit part. The energization control part accelerates and then decelerates the motor, and controls energization of the coil so that a rotation position of the motor stops at a target rotation position. The current limit part limits the current during a deceleration control.

Abstract: A biological information measurement device includes a sensor unit that detects predetermined biological information related to an organ of a living body, an A/D conversion unit that converts a measurement signal output from the sensor unit into a digital signal, a storage unit that stores information including a digital signal related to the measurement signal output from the A/D conversion unit, an analysis processing unit that determines presence or absence of a suspicion of an abnormality in the organ by analyzing the digital signal, and a measurement control unit that changes a sampling frequency related to A/D conversion of the measurement signal under a predetermined condition when the analysis processing unit has determined that a suspicion of an abnormality is present in the organ.

Abstract: The invention aims at providing a method for manufacturing a glass substrate for a magnetic disc capable of eliminating undulations of an outer peripheral end face of a glass substrate in a short processing time, and obtaining high roundness. In a method for manufacturing a disc-like glass substrate for a magnetic disc, the method includes a forming step of pressing a rotating grindstone against an outer peripheral end face while the glass substrate is rotated, thereby forming an outer peripheral end. In the forming step, processing is performed using a first condition (S106) on which first undulations are formed and a second condition (S108) on which second undulations having a different wavelength from the first undulations are formed.

Abstract: Actual data which is satisfied by a condition string which can be judged within actual data is stored in each .alpha. memory, and combined actual data is generated from each of the .alpha. memories by a combined actual data generator, and the inter-actual data condition of the generated combined actual data is evaluated by an inter-data condition evaluation for actual data so as to specify an instance with no conflict resolution process being performed and to reduce the memory capacity necessary for the evaluation process by a production system.

Abstract: A floating magnetic head for use in a fixed-type magnetic disk drive has a slider with a coil groove defined therein and opening at the trailing end of the slider. The coil groove has a bottom remote whose width is smaller than the width of the coil groove at the trailing end. The coil groove may be tapered linearly or stepwise, and the bottom may be arcuate in shape. The slider has upper and lower walls between which the coil groove is defined, the upper and lower walls being progressively thicker toward the bottom of the coil groove. The progressively thicker upper and lower walls are mechanically strong against shocks and other excessive forces, and also against stresses applied from coils wound in multiple layers on a core tip inserted in a slit that is defined in the slider across the coil groove.

Abstract: In an inference method using a rule, a rule condition part network and rule consequence part network are generated, an integral network of both the networks is used for inference. With this information method, the inference is performed at high speed by setting a shortcut arc so as to process the inference along the pattern matchable network portion. Further, use of the integral network of the rule condition and consequence parts enables not only forward and backward inferences but also a bidirectional inference with intimate couple between forward and backward inferences.

Abstract: A method for generating a network to cope with a conditional part or an IF part having a comparison between variable data and a logical sum between comparisons which appear in a Rete network adopted in a production system using the knowledge technology scheme. In association with an intra-node, a candidate node is disposed in another conditional clause referencing a variable, and a data which was previously accepted but which did not satisfy the conditions or a data most likely to pass through the network is stored in the candidate node in advance. For the intra-node in the object processing, the value of the candidate node is loaded for judging the conditions.

Abstract: A knowledge-based system comprising a plurality of knowledge processors each of which includes a knowledge base and performs a reasoning process for replying to a request from a user, and a file server which is connected to the knowledge processors through a transmission line. When each knowledge processor cannot resolve the user's request with the knowledge base of its own, it sends a request message to the other processor or processors through the transmission line. Reply messages from the other knowledge processors complying with the request message are managed in correspondence with the requests by the file server which receives the reply messages, and when a predetermined condition has been established, a reply is given to the knowledge processor which is the source of the request.

Abstract: A dynamic network reconstruction method in which the node processing information such as a node processing volume and a ratio at which a node is satisfied is collected for all nodes to maintain an efficient network even when the characteristic of an object described in a condition clause is changed in a Rete network of a production system using the knowledge technology and the network is changed based on the node processing information.
