Abstract: A capacitive sensor bonded to a panel having a flat-surface portion and a curved-surface portion includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes, a plurality of second transparent electrodes, a coupling member, and a bridge wiring member. The first transparent electrodes are arranged in a first direction. The second transparent electrodes are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. The coupling member is provided integrally with either the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes. The bridge wiring member is provided separately from the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes, to which the coupling member is not provided, in a portion where the bridge wiring member crosses the coupling member. A direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the curved-surface portion is different from a direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the flat-surface portion.

Abstract: A disk device for performing error-correction processing is loaded with a high-reliability disk to which a C1 code as a low-level error-correction code (ECC) is added for every sector, and a C2 code as a high-level ECC is added for every plurality of sectors. A host computer includes a device driver corresponding to the high-reliability disk. When data written to the high-reliability disk is read, low-level error-correction is performed based on the C1 code in units of one block corresponding to one sector, and the corrected data is notified to the host computer. Simultaneously, the C2 code along with the data for a plurality of blocks is loaded, and high-level error correction based on the C2 code is thereby performed.

Abstract: The rotational balance by weight of a rotational driving apparatus for a disk is adjusted in a state in which a hub or a dummy member equivalent to the hub is fixed onto a turntable while a motor thereof is driven. When the hub is mounted on the turntable, rotation with excellent weight balance can be achieved, resulting in prevention of vibration due to imbalance of weight.
