The outermost diameter is formed larger than the innermost diameter of each ring member.

Abstract: A torque rod includes a drive side connecting part that is connected to a drive source, a vehicle body side connecting part that is connected to a vehicle body, and a coupling part that couples the drive side connecting part with the vehicle body side connecting part. The drive side connecting part includes a cylindrical cylinder part provided to the coupling part, a plate spring provided within the cylinder part, and an attachment member that attaches to the drive source. The attachment member is connected to the cylinder part via the plate spring elastically deformed by the movement of the attachment member due to vibrations of the drive source.

Abstract: A subframe includes: a main body part; a vehicle body support part that supports the main body part to a vehicle body; and a stabilizer that is disposed above the main body part. The main body part includes a torque rod support part that supports a torque rod which is connected to a power unit. The torque rod support part includes: a front opening portion which is formed at a forward position and into which the torque rod is capable of being inserted; and a rear opening portion which is formed at a rearward position. The stabilizer is arranged at a rearward position that is overlapped with the rear opening portion in a forward/rearward direction.

Abstract: A steering device for a vehicle includes: an operation member configured to be operated by a driver; a turning member mechanically separated from the operation member and configured to turn a wheel; a turning device configured to drive the turning member; and a controller configured to control the turning device, wherein the controller has: a first control mode in which a maximum turning angle of the wheel is set to a first angle corresponding to a maximum angle for mechanically turning the wheel; and a second control mode in which the maximum turning angle of the wheel is set to a second angle that is smaller than the first angle; and the controller is configured to switch between the first control mode and the second control mode based on a current travel condition of an own vehicle detected by a travel condition detecting unit.

Abstract: A disk drive includes a disk rotating unit, a traverse base holding the disk rotating unit, a damper member holding the traverse base, a main unit holding the traverse base through the damper member, a tray mounting a cartridge housing the disk, a driving unit that loads or ejects the tray and moves the disk in the cartridge relative to the disk rotating unit, and a traverse base holding member that is moved vertically by the driving unit relative to the main unit at the time of tray loading or tray ejection. The traverse base is held by the traverse base holding member through the damper member, and the resonance frequencies of the damper member in the radius direction of the disk as it is being loaded and in the direction of a rotation shaft are set higher than the maximum rotational frequency of the disk.

Abstract: A disk drive comprises a cartridge holding mechanism which has a small size and reduces a damper load. The disk drive comprises: a spindle motor 91 which mounts and rotates a disk; a traverse base 82 which holds the spindle motor 91; a rubber damper 71 which flexibly holds the traverse base 82; a mechanical chassis 60 which holds the traverse base 82 through the rubber damper 71; a tray 20 which mounts a cartridge 1 in which a disk is housed; and a loading motor 61 which moves the disk in the cartridge 1 close to the spindle motor 91 or away from the spindle motor 91. The cartridge 1 is supported by the mechanical chassis 60 through the tray 20.

Abstract: An information recording/reproducing apparatus wherein the CPU stores data transferred through an interface in a temporary storage area and later records the data in a recording medium by using a recording/reproducing means. The temporary storage area is divided into first and a second regions by a temporary storage region disposition device. A discriminator determines whether the process-requested region is an information managing region or a data region from the process requests made by the host computer and the temporary storage region managing information. Based on the result of this discrimination, the temporary storage region manager allocates the first region if the data is for information managing or the second region if the data is intended for data storage.

Abstract: An information recording, reproducing apparatus comprising a first operation switch, a memory for storing a plurality of operation modes with operation steps for controlling the information recording, reproducing operation with the instructions from the control apparatus, a selecting apparatus for selecting a selecting mode, and a switching apparatus for selecting one operation mode from among the plurality of operation modes, where selection of an operation mode among from the plurality of operation modes is performed after a selection mode has been selected.

Abstract: An information recording reproducing apparatus is operable with a large-capacity recording medium and is operatively connected to a host computer. The apparatus has a cache memory for temporarily storing therein information transmitted from the host computer, and also has a write-back function and a write-through function. When recording using a write-back function designated by a recording designation flag, the maximum number of substitutions of defective sectors is automatically set to a given value for a write-back operation, and a mode display indicates that a write-back mode has been selected. The write-back operation is inhibited by a write-back inhibit flag according to the frequency of occurrence of the substitutions or the condition of a substitute area to thereby enhance the reliability of recording information.

Abstract: The present invention intends to record the information which was divisionally recorded on a disk onto a recording medium without a loss of information. The operation of a disk reproducing apparatus for reproducing the information recorded on the disk and the operation of a recording apparatus for recording the information reproduced by the disk reproducing apparatus are synchronously started. When the recording medium of the recording apparatus has reached an end, the reproducing operation of the disk reproducing apparatus is immediately stopped. The header signal of the music divisionally recorded on the disk is searched for by a searching means of the disk reproducing apparatus. The reproducing operation is temporarily stopped. After the recording medium is reversed, the reproduction of the disk reproducing apparatus is restarted from the searched for header signal.
