Abstract: A wavelength selection filter, a wavelenth selection laser, and a tunable laser for suppressing adverse effects of non-selected light when selected light is obtained by the wavelength selection filter. A linear polarizer is arranged on a side of the wavelength selection filter from which incoming light enters, and a first faraday element and a second faraday element arranged at respective locations between the linear polarizer and the wavelength selection filter, and between the wavelength selection filter and a reflection mirror for reflecting light having passed through the wavelength selection filter. After incoming light passes through a linear polarizer, selected light passes through the wavelength selection filter and is reflected by the reflection mirror, while non-selected light is reflected by the wavelength selection filter. The selected light and the non-selected light differ in the number of times they pass through faraday elements before they return to the linear polarizer.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a connector having watertight between a cover and a housing, and preventing a filler from leaking out of fitting faces therebetween. The housing has a housing groove, at a side of the cover, defined with a first and second housing walls. The cover has a cover groove, at a side of the housing, defined with a first and second cover walls. When the cover is attached to the housing, a first and second thin end portions of the first and second cover walls enter into the housing groove to form a filling space of the filler around a connector block of the housing. The filler injected into the filling space expands and presses the first and second thin end portions to deform and closely abut the first and second housing walls.

Abstract: A movement control system useful for an apparatus comprising a movable member movable between two positions, a motor and a sensor device for producing an output value which changes during the movement of the movable member. The control system drives the motor in a first amount so as to move the movable member from one of the two positions to the other position and thereafter drives the motor in a second amount to move the movable member toward said one position when the output value of the sensor device remains unchanged. When the sensor device produces a changed output value, the system drives the motor in a third amount to move the movable member toward said one position. Subsequently, the system drives the motor in a fourth amount when the output value of the sensor device is different from the output value before the motor is driven in the first amount, so as to move the movable member toward said other position.

Abstract: A head slider including a disk-facing surface having an inflow end and outflow end, inflow-end-side rail, negative pressure part, three extension rails, a pair of siderails, an inflow-end-side-positive-pressure part, and outflow-end-side-positive-pressure part, and an outflow end rail. The extension rails protrude towards the negative pressure part, and are formed lower than the inflow-end-side-positive-pressure part. As a result of air flowing in from the inflow end, a positive pressure (flotation force) is imparted to the inflow-end-side-positive-pressure part, and a negative pressure is imparted to the negative pressure part. The negative pressure which cancels the positive pressure acts to a suitable extent without being affected by atmospheric pressure variations, so the flotation amount is controlled to a fixed value regardless of variations of altitude (atmospheric pressure).
