Abstract: A head suspension provided with a plate welding structure relaxes a laser beam positioning accuracy, improves a mass production ability, suppresses the generation of spattered matter, and prevents the deformation of plates during welding. The head suspension (1) has a base plate (3) to be attached to a carriage and a load beam (5) having a rigid part (9) and a resilient part (11). The load beam is supported by the base plate and applies load on a slider that is arranged at a front end of the load beam. A reinforcing plate (25) is laid over the base plate, and a laser beam is emitted to a weld spot to weld the reinforcing plate and base plate together. The reinforcing plate is provided with thin parts (29) each containing the weld spot. Each thin part is irradiated with a laser beam to weld the base plate and reinforcing plate together.

Abstract: A print service system capable of providing effectively a print service in the amusement park is provided. The print service system is constructed to include a print service server connected to a network, which is established in an amusement park, access points, and a digital camera. The print service server executes a print service based on printing order information that is received via the network and contains receipt information designating a receiving spot of a print. Prior to reception of the print receiving spot information included in the order information, the information for assisting the decision of the receiving spot are generated and transmitted. The candidate information of the receiving spot and the information about attractions corresponding to the candidate information are included in the assist information.
