Abstract: In a wireless communication system which can share the same frequency band with time division duplexing (TDD) and frequency division duplexing (FDD), a wireless terminal carries out an FDD downlink reception in a second frequency band overlapping a first frequency band allocated to TDD, thus carrying out reception at the TDD downlink reception timing. Alternatively, a wireless terminal carries out a TDD downlink reception in a second frequency band overlapping a first frequency band allocated to FDD, thus carrying out reception at the FDD downlink reception timing.

Abstract: A floppy disk drive includes a frame having a bottom portion and left and right walls and a casing for covering the frame. The casing includes an upper cover for covering an upper side of the frame and a lower cover for covering a lower side of the frame, in which the upper cover has a top plate and left and right side plates, and the lower cover has a bottom plate and left and right plates. Each of the side walls of the frame is designed so as to have size and height that are partially overlapped with the side plate of the upper cover and the side plate of the lower cover, respectively, at each side of the casing, thereby providing a triplex structure for reinforcing each side of the casing.

Abstract: In a disk chucking mechanism for use in a flexible disk drive adopting a spindle motor (300) of a Hall sensor-less method, a driving pin (317A) freely received in a driving oval hole (46b) of a flexible disk (40) has a shape (shape of fan) where a catch factor portion is cut so that the driving pin (317A) is not in contact with an inner edge of the driving oval hole (46b) as much as possible when a rotor (310A) of the spindle motor (300) rotates in the opposite direction (counterclockwise).

Abstract: In a flexible disk drive for a flexible disk, a main frame defines a receiving portion for receiving the flexible disk. The main frame has a principal surface which faces the receiving portion and extends in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A carriage assembly is mounted on the main frame and has a magnetic head for accessing the flexible disk. The carriage assembly is movable to carry the magnetic head along the principal surface. An eject base is coupled to the main frame and has a main portion facing the principal surface and side plates opposite to each other in the first direction. Between the main frame and the eject base, an eject plate is placed movable in the second direction for ejecting the flexible disk from the receiving portion. The eject plate has side plates facing the side plates of the eject base in the first direction, respectively.

Abstract: A front shutter (13?) comprises arm portions (132, 133) formed at both ends of an upper side of a door member (131). While one shaft portion (136) is formed on one of the arm portions (132) through a positioning portion (134), the other shaft portion (137) is formed on the other of the arm portions (133). The shaft portions (136, 137?) are inserted into holes formed on a cut and raised piece (111) and a side wall (112) respectively. The cut and raised piece (111) and the side wall (112) rotatably supports the shaft portions (136, 137?). A gap between the arm portion (133) and the side wall (112) is wider because of no positioning portion between the arm portion (133) and the side wall (112). The shutter spring (14?) not only gives force to the front shutter (13?) in a closing direction but also presses the front shutter toward the cut and raised piece (111) to prevent the shutter from moving along a pivot defined by the shaft portions (136, 137?).

Abstract: A flexible disk drive includes a case and a disk holder provided in the case. A flexible disk is mounted on the disk holder. A part of the disk holder abuts against an inner face of the case. Preferably, the part of the disk holder is a tip end portion of the disk holder. The tip end portion of the disk holder is bent in a slanted direction so as to enlarge an inlet of the disk holder for the flexible disk to be inserted.

Abstract: A flexible disk drive comprises a main frame, a magnetic head, a head assembly supporting the magnetic head so as to move the magnetic head in a tracking direction, and a guide rod fixedly attached onto the main frame by a metal fitting to guide the head assembly in the tracking direction. The main frame is made of a sheet metal and is provided with a recessed portion having a sidewall. The sidewall is faced to an end face of the guide rod with a small space left therebetween so that the recessed portion restricts the movement of the guide rod in the tracking direction.

Abstract: A shutter driving mechanism has a disk shutter arm engaged with a corner portion of a shutter while a flexible disk is inserted in a thin flexible disk drive. The shutter driving mechanism drives the shutter so as to open the shutter by rotating the disk shutter arm. The shutter driving mechanism is rotatably mounted on a disk holder for holding the flexible disk. Integrally formed to the arm near a tip of the disk shutter arm, a stopper made of resin supports the flexible disk at a rear surface thereof so as to avoid crashing the flexible disk with a lower magnetic head on inserting/ejecting the flexible disk in/from the thin flexible disk drive. The stopper has a projection part projecting at a tip thereof upwards so that the projection part supports the flexible disk in line contact.
