Abstract: Disclosed is an orthopedic apparatus for effecting the manipulatively equivalent treatment of disorders of the skeletal system by using one's weight to stretch one's body. It comprises: a base having a rotary axle provided therewith; a body bearing board responsive to rotation of the rotary axle for inclining about the rotary axle, thereby raising or lowering one or the other end of the body bearing board; and a console for determining an oblique angle at which the body bearing board is inclined, selecting which direction the body bearing board is inclined, clockwise or counterclockwise, the length of time for which the body bearing board is kept inclined and determining other variables in operation. The body bearing board comprises a leg shaking section for holding the opposite legs of one's body and for shaking them horizontally, a longitudinal, parallel arrangement of rotatable rolls and a head holding section for holding the head of the patient lying on the body bearing board.

Abstract: A read head of a head device used in a disk storage apparatus is provided including a spin-valve magnetoresistive (MR) element. The spin-valve MR element comprises a pinning magnetic layer of which magnetizing direction is determined, a free magnetic layer of which magnetizing direction can be shifted by a signal magnetic field derived from the disk, and a non-magnetic layer sandwiched between the pinning magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer. The head also includes a remagnetization layer which functions as a control element for correcting the magnetizing direction of the pinning magnetic layer.

Abstract: A data storage system that uses a magnetic head assembly having a write head and a read head mounted on a slider to write on and read from a disk. A portion of the coil of the write head is used as a wear sensor for detecting wear on the surface of the slider. A head IC monitors the coil voltage and, when it goes lower than a reference voltage, detects the occurrence of a fault in the write head due to excessive wear on the slider surface. In response to the detection of the fault in the write head by the head IC, a control driver prohibits a write operation and saves data already recorded on the disk.

Abstract: The dimension ratio t/H of the thickness t of a flexure spring to the height (thickness) H of a slider 17 is set at 0.047 or less in order to reduce the variation in crown amount due to a temperature variation. As the ratio of the thickness t of the flexure spring to the height H of the slider decreases, the stress acting in the slider due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between itself and the flexure spring decreases and the rigidity of the slider increases relative to the flexure spring. The dimension ratio H/L of the height H of the slider to the length L thereof is set at 0.245 or more. As the dimension ratio H/L increases, the rigidity of the slider increases and the amount of deformation of the slider due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between itself and the flexure spring decreases. In addition, the ratio A2/A1 of an actual adhesion area A2 between the slider and a slider fixing portion of the flexure spring to a possible adhesion area A1 therebetween is reduced to 0.
