  • Patent number: 6912723
    Abstract: A disc drive includes a main body, a disc tray movable with respect to the main body between a loading position for loading an optical disc and an eject position, and a chassis on which a rotational drive mechanism for rotating a loaded optical disc is provided. The chassis is pivotally provided with respect to the main body about a pivotal axis near the rear end of the chassis so that the front end thereof can be displaced between a lowered position when the disc tray is ejected and a raised position for placing the optical disc on the rotational drive mechanism when rotating the optical disc. The disc drive prevents the chassis and/or the optical disc rotational drive mechanism from interfering or colliding with other elements of the disc drive.

  • Patent number: 6668454
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid-discharging recording head can prevent deviation in the dimensions and the pitch of grooves, serving as liquid channels, and holes, serving as discharging ports, and generation of burrs around discharging ports while maintaining the grooves and the holes to desired sizes and without increasing a time required for the processing when forming the grooves and the holes by projecting a laser beam. When performing ablation processing of the liquid-channel grooves or the discharging ports in a top-plate blank by projecting the laser beam, the processing is performed by changing the energy density per unit time of the laser beam continuously or stepwise by adjusting the oscillation voltage or the oscillation frequency of the laser beam, attenuating the laser beam, or moving a substance to be processed along the optical axis.
