Abstract: A disk recording and reproducing device keeps a disk in a standby position spaced from the objective lens of an optical pickup to prevent the objective lens from contacting the surface of the disk even when the objective lens is moved within a movable range because the disk recording and reproducing device are subjected to vibrations, shocks, or the like. The disk recording and reproducing device has a slide plate slidable by a drive element through a rack. When the slide plate slides, the disk is pulled in a horizontal direction from a disk ejecting position and thereafter is lowered vertically and positioned in a disk writing/reading position in which information can be written on and read from the disk by an optical pickup. The slide plate has switch triggers, and a switch having contact pins detectable by the switch triggers is mounted on a chassis.

Abstract: A brake lining of a vehicular brake device is produced by a friction material which has a characteristic that a friction coefficient of the friction material decreases according to an increase of a sliding speed between the brake lining and a rotational member when the sliding speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed during the braking operation, and the friction coefficient is substantially constant when the sliding speed is smaller than the predetermined speed.

Abstract: A coating method and coating apparatus with which layer surface defects caused by foreign matter such as dust particles and the like can be greatly reduced. The method and apparatus are characterized in that an static reducing device which reduces static charge on a support is provided. Before a coating solution for an emulsion layer is applied to the support web by a coating device, the static charge level of the support is reduced to 1 kV or less by a static eliminator. Thus, layer surface defects at a coated layer formed by coating are decreased.

Abstract: There is provided an ink ribbon cassette which prevents damage and pollution of a part of an ink ribbon exposed outside of a cassette case housing the ink ribbon. In the ink ribbon cassette in which the part of the ink ribbon housed in the cassette case is exposed outside of the cassette case, a detachably attached cover body for covering the part of the ink ribbon exposed outside of the cassette case is provided.

Abstract: A sintered metal sprocket for a silent chain is produced by the following steps. A base mixture is prepared, which contains a powder metallurgical iron powder, a lubricant and a graphite powder. Then, the base mixture is subjected to a compression molding while being heated at above approximately 100° C. thereby to produce a green compact. Then, the green compact is subjected to a sintering at a temperature above approximately 1180° C. For much improving the mechanical performance of the sprocket thus sintered, the same may be subjected to a carbonizing hardening or an induction hardening.

Abstract: Magnetic recording apparatus are provided for recording signals on a magnetic tape. A recording head records signals in successive tracks on the tape and a tape transport transports a magnetic tape past the recording head in a recording direction. In one embodiment, absolute track addresses are recorded in at least some of the tracks, the absolute track address of each track corresponding to a distance of the track from a start position of the magnetic tape. Recording is initiated from a track having a predetermined absolute track address corresponding to a predetermined distance from the start position. In a further embodiment, the tape transport transports the tape initially by a distance necessary to establish a stable running state, and thereafter transports the tape a further distance while recording reproduction control signals so that during reproduction a stable running state may be achieved. Thereafter, information to be output is recorded.

Abstract: An improved connecting terminal for an electromagnetic shield is provided for use with a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is contained in a shielded casing having shielding walls to define compartments. The connecting terminal makes an electric connection between the ground pattern, the shielded inside and shielding walls of the shielded casing, thereby preventing an electromagnetic field from interfering with surrounding electric circuits. The connecting terminal comprises an elongated base strip having an undersurface to be soldered to a selected portion of the ground pattern and a pair of inwardly directed contact arms integrally connected to the opposite ends of the elongated base strip. Each contact arm makes contact with the shielded inside and shielding walls of the casing.
