  • Publication number: 20070008653
    Abstract: The conventional ramp mechanism constituting a load/unload mechanism for a magnetic disk is disadvantageous for increasing a storage capacity since an outer peripheral edge of the disk is not used as a data area. In one embodiment of the invention, a disk drive has a solenoid and spring for turning a ramp mechanism about a rotating shaft. When the drive operates, since the ramp mechanism moves out from the magnetic disk by the tensile force of the solenoid, the outer peripheral edge of a magnetic head that has formerly been unusable can be used as a data read/write region, without the magnetic head interfering with the fins of the ramp mechanism. During a non-operating state of the drive and in case of a power interruption, the tensile force of the spring returns the ramp mechanism to a position at which the magnetic head can be unloaded. This construction allows the storage capacity of the drive to be easily increased without sacrificing the shock resistance of the ramp mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20030179226
    Abstract: When a machine body 3 of a machining center 2 is being used to machine a component based on CAM data, an in-process information processing module 1a transfers to a host computer 5 in-process information of the component which is obtained by integrally processing detection data output from a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, etc. provided to the machine body 3, to cause the in-process information of the component to be displayed on a display of the host computer 5 in such a manner that the in-process information can be compared to CAD data. In such a manner, a person in charge of the machining center can obtain improvement information in a machining process of the component based on comparison between the in-process information and the CAD data, to thereby improve an efficiency of an experimental-production process, thus reducing a development period of a product.
