  • Patent number: 7911776
    Abstract: A disk device includes a disk unit housing a disk-shaped storage medium, a case holding the disk unit, a bracket holding the case, and a guide member guiding sliding movement of the case in and out from the bracket. The disk device also includes spring members on one of the bracket and the case, distributed in the direction of the relative movement. Each of the spring members extends longitudinally in the direction of the movement. Distal ends of the spring members face and press against the other of the bracket and the case. Base portions of the spring members are integral with the one of the bracket and the case. The spring members inhibit lateral vibration of the case by pressing against small projections on the case. Other spring members inhibit vertical vibration of the case by pressing against sliding support rails of the case. A face plate of the case absorbs vibration in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 5227421
    Abstract: A resin having both an acidic and a basic functional group is dissolved in an aqueous medium by neutralizing the acidic functional group with a basic compound and a pigment is dispersed in the aqueous medium by the action of the resin. To improve the dispersibility of the pigment and dispersion stability and coated film performance, a pK.sub.b value of the basic functional group of the resin is equal to or less than a pK.sub.b value of the basic compound.

  • Patent number: 5038036
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to present a corona discharge processing apparatus capable of performing uniform and excellent corona discharge processing, on work of any thickness or shape, with the constant processing effect regardless of a thickness and shape of the work.A corona discharge processing apparatus of the invention comprises an excitation electrode and a counter-electrode, and generates a corona discharge by applying a high voltage between them, thereby applying corona discharge processing on the work, wherein the excitation electrode and the counter-electrode are both disposed on the same surface of the work with an interval between them.
