Abstract: A travel control system of an automated guided vehicle including, an actual guided-vehicle travel controller including an actual control program causing a plurality of actual guided vehicles to travel along a plurality of travel routes crossing one another in an actual conveyance area, a virtual guided-vehicle travel controller including a virtual control program causing a plurality of virtual guided-vehicles to travel by imitating a shape and a motion of the actual guided vehicles in a virtual conveyance area, a virtual guided-vehicle travel monitoring processor which, in a case of occurrence of a collision or stop abnormality by the virtual guided vehicles, detects and records the abnormal phenomenon, a monitoring-result output transmitter which outputs the detected abnormal phenomenon to outside, and an update-data input receiver which receives update data modified by referring to the output abnormal phenomenon from outside and finally reflects it in the actual control program.

Abstract: When a browser is started up by a user, a packet call establishment request unit of a cellular phone requests the start of processing for establishing a packet call, and a communication control unit executes a packet all establishment processing. A mobile communication network sends a packet call establishment response message to the cellular phone, then sends packet data. A packet date storage unit of the cellular phone stores the packet data in a memory when packet data is received before the packet call establishment response message. If the packet call establishment response message is received thereafter, the packet data storage unit reads the packet data from the memory, and deletes the packet data from the memory. The packet processing execution unit displays a screen corresponding to the packet data on the display. Thereby, instances when packet data is discarded is decreased.

Abstract: A hard disk drive has a head suspension assembly having a magnetic head at the front end. The head suspension assembly is configured by providing a suspension at the front end of an arm. Near the front end of the arm, a fitting hole is made for containing a pair of Schottky diodes. By providing the Schottky diodes in the part of the arm near the magnetic head, the wiring between the magnetic head and Schottky diodes can be shortened, and the influence of noise can be suppressed.

Abstract: A head suspension assembly for use in a magnetic disk drive includes a magnetic head constituted by a magnetoresistive element for reading data and a head element for writing data, a slider for holding the magnetic head above a surface of a rotating magnetic recording medium, a suspension for supporting the slider, and a head integrated circuit mounted on the suspension. The head integrated circuit having a built-in protection circuit electrically connected with the magnetoresistive element to protect the magnetoresistive element from electrostatic breakdown. Thereby, the magnetic head can be efficiently prevented from suffering electrostatic breakdown due to, e.g., electrostatic discharge occurring during the assembly process of incorporating the head suspension assembly into the magnetic disk drive.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for detecting the temperature in the disk memory device includes two voltage source dividing circuits. One of the voltage dividing circuits includes a first and second temperature independent resistances connected to the voltage source in series for providing a first electric potential from a connecting point located between the first and second resistances. The other voltage source dividing circuits includes a third temperature independent resistance and a temperature dependent resistance for detecting the temperature connected to the voltage source in series for providing a second electric potential from connecting point between the third temperature independent resistance and the temperature dependent resistance. The first and the second electric potentials are converted to an electric potential ratio. The temperature is acquired by referencing to a predetermined electric potential ratio-temperature characteristic based on the calculated electric potential ratio.

Abstract: A method of measuring the strength of concrete for the slip form process, to determine upward movement of a slide form so that the concrete poured in the slide form will be released therefrom after setting to a degree of strength capable of maintaining the shape of a structure to be constructed. According to the method, an arithmetic unit calculates the temperature integral of the concrete poured in the slide form on the basis of measured data given thereto by a temperature sensor having a plurality of measuring elements and inserted into the concrete and by an altimeter that measures the position of the slide form. The strength of the concrete is determined from the known relation between the temperature integral and the strength of the concrete.
