  • Patent number: 6456466
    Abstract: The present invention is to realize a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus in which even if a spacing between shields of a magnetic head is narrowed, a deterioration in characteristic caused by a short-circuiting between a magnetoresistive layer and a magnetic shield layer is prevented to provide a high recording density. The present invention comprises an upper shield layer 15, a lower shield layer 13,and a magnetoresistive layer 14 arranged therebetween. Further, there is provided a constitution in which one or both shield layers has (have) a high resistance layer comprising a mixed layer of ferromagnetic metal and an insulating material, or a discontinuous multi-layer having a plurality of ferromagnetic metal layers and a plurality of insulating material layers laminated alternately, to prevent a deterioration in characteristic caused by a short-circuiting.

  • Publication number: 20010003775
    Abstract: A method for producing a copolymerized polyester resin, which comprises subjecting a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid or its ester derivative as the main component and a phenylene dioxydiacetic acid as a copolymerizable component, and a diol component containing ethylene glycol as the main component, to polycondensation through an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction, wherein the phenylene dioxydiacetic acid is added to the reaction system in the form of a solution dissolved in the diol component.

  • Patent number: 6229976
    Abstract: The toner cartridge of the present invention has an elongated cylindrical container containing toner and is set at a predetermined position such that the lengthwise axis of the container extends in the substantially horizontal direction. A supply port for dropping and supplying the toner in the container in the gravity direction toward the apparatus body. An auger extended immediately above the supply port in the substantially horizontal direction is provided in the container. The auger rotates thereby feeding the toner from inside the container toward the supply port along the rotary shaft. A plate-like regulation member for restricting drop of the toner in the container toward the supply port due to its dead weight is attached to a position opposed to the supply port above the auger.
