  • Publication number: 20180291491
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant copper tube which can exhibit a further improved resistance to ant nest corrosion, and which is suitably usable as a heat transfer tube and refrigerant tube in air-conditioning equipment and refrigerating equipment. The copper tube is formed of a copper material consisting of 0.15-0.6% by weight of phosphorus and the balance being copper and impurities, and has electric conductivity (Y1 or Y2: % IACS) which satisfies 50-75X?Y1?60-75X in the case where the tube includes a recrystallized structure, or 47-75X?Y2?57-75X in the case where the tube includes a deformation structure, wherein X (% by weight) represents a content of phosphorus.

  • Patent number: 8532570
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is provided and includes: a first data communication unit performing communication by an electromagnetic induction system, a second data communication unit performing communication at higher speed than the first communication unit by using a system and/or a communication frequency band different from the first data communication unit, and a control unit controlling communication operations of the first data communication unit and the second data communication unit. The control unit performs communication by using the second data communication unit while a carrier signal is transmitted from the first data communication unit.

  • Patent number: 7813066
    Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproduction method includes the steps of recording a plurality of tracks which make a unit for a signal process for data detection by means of a recording head on a magnetic recording medium, and reproducing signals of the plural tracks by a plural number of times in different positional relationships to the tracks by means of a reproduction head which can reproduce a signal across the plural tracks of the magnetic recording medium, collecting the reproduction signals in the unit and performing a signal process for the unit to produce reproduction signals for the individual tracks.

  • Patent number: 7636219
    Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed which includes: a recording device configured to record with a write head a plurality of tracks constituting a unit of signal processing for data detection, to magnetic recording media; a reproduction device configured to reproduce with a read head a plurality of reproduction signals concurrently from the plurality of tracks on the magnetic recording media in different positional relations to the tracks, the reproduction signals being arranged into that one unit for signal processing thereby generating the track-specific reproduction signals; and a phase alignment device configured to align phases of record signals between adjacent tracks among the plurality of tracks recorded by the recording device to the magnetic recording media.

  • Patent number: 7586705
    Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is disclosed wherein reproduced signals read out from a plurality of recording tracks using a reproducing head can be separated into original recording signals of the recording tracks. Upon recording, an identification signal which has a recording wavelength equal to or greater than a minimum recording wavelength and causes no interference of any of the recording tracks with any adjacent one of the recording tracks is appended to and recorded together with a recording signal in order to allow, upon reproduction, acquisition of the position information of the reproducing head with respect to the plural recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium. Upon reproduction, a reproduced signal for each of the recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium is generated on the basis of the positional information read from the recording tracks.

  • Patent number: 7139146
    Abstract: A replay signal, obtained on reproducing a recording medium, on which has been recorded a digital signal, is supplied to an input terminal (1), and quantized by an A/D converter (8). The so quantized signal is processed by an integrator (20), formed by a first order IIR filter, so as to be adjusted in gain by an amplifier (21). The quantized replay signal is also processed by a differentiator formed by a combination of a first order FIR filter (22) and a first order IIR filter (23) so as to be then adjusted in gain by an amplifier (24). The resulting signal is then supplied to an adder (25) where it is subtracted from an output signal of the amplifier (21). In this manner, the differentiation/integration equalizer, formed by an analog circuit, is constructed by a digital circuit of a simplified configuration without raising the number of orders of the filters. The replay signal is processed by differentiation/integration such as to satisfy the equalization standard.
