Abstract: A method for managing motor components is performed such that, while one of the motor components is held, identifying information, such as a two-dimensional code, for example, is printed on a printable region on a metal surface of the motor component by discharging ink from a printing head toward the printable region and relatively displacing a position at which the ink reaches within the printable region by moving one of the motor component and the printing head relative to the other. Then, the identifying information on the motor component is read. The identifying information that has been read is stored for each of the motor components. Based on the stored identifying information, the motor components are managed.

Abstract: A device is provided for electronically editing and recording new signals on recorded tracks on a recording medium. Reproduction is started from the track just before an editing point and a magnetic head mounted on an electro-mechanical converting element traces the curvature of the reproducing track. A deviation amount of the electro-mechanical converting element upon reproduction of the track just before the editing point is detected by a strain detecting sensor mounted on the electro-mechanical converting element. The detection signal is sampled at a plurality of sample points and stored in a memory circuit. When the head reaches the editing point, the head is set into the recording mode.

Abstract: The storage control system translates a logical address into a real address by using a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), and checks if a data to be referred to is present in a buffer storage by using a buffer address array (BAA). An integrated logic-in memory device for the storage control system includes a first memory for holding a real address part of the TLB, a second memory for holding a real address part of the BAA, and comparator means, for comparing outputs from the first and second memories, thus eliminating the transfer of a real address from the TLB to the BAA as in a discrete circuit form.

Abstract: An independent wheel suspension system includes a pair of upper lateral link members and a pair of lateral link members for supporting a wheel carrier to the vehicle body. By providing a difference in elevation between the outer ends of the link members for the upper and/or the lower pair of lateral link members, an anti-dive property can be obtained. Further, by providing an appropriate inclination to the rear lower lateral link member, the tendency to form a toggle between the knuckle arm of the wheel carrier and the tie rod is reduced. Also, by making the front lateral link member more upwardly inclined than the rear lateral link member for each of the pairs, an anti-dive effect can be produced without changing the caster angle and other property of the suspension system during cornering maneuvers.

Abstract: A magnetic recording-playback apparatus having a rotary magnetic head mounted on a piezo-electric element so that the head can trace a recording track. The scanning track, voltage waveform applied to a piezo-electric element and tape speed for the next head scanning operation are calculated based on the current application voltage center value and current tape speed, and this arithmetic operation is repeated for each head scan, thereby enabling continuous noise-free picture reproduction at arbitrary tape speeds. Moreover, when the tape speed is changed, the speed command is varied in steps up to the target speed, thereby enabling noise-free picture reproduction also in the transition of tape speeds.
