  • Publication number: 20110293965
    Abstract: In a lubricant including a structure of a polymer compound, the structure includes polar groups or side chains having polarity at terminal ends and in at least one intermediate portion of a main chain, and also includes non-polar side chains at the terminal ends or in the intermediate portions of the main chain. For example, any of —OH, —CH2OH, —COOH, —NH2, and —CH2OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH groups is used for the polar group or the side chain having polarity, and a side chain including the structure of the formula (5) or (6) is used for the non-polar side chain. Then, in the lubricant used for a magnetic disk device, the surface energy is suppressed to a low level while a thin film thickness is being kept small for one molecule, thereby realizing stabilization of head-disk interface in the magnetic disk device for a long time. —(CF2O)P—CF3??(5) —(CF2)P—CF3??(6) (where P represents an integer of 0 or greater in the formulas (5) and (6)).

  • Publication number: 20080180438
    Abstract: An inclusion area which includes a player character is set. The maximum diagonal line of the inclusion area is projected onto an image coordinate system of a game screen, and an Xc axis component projection dimension Lx and a Yc axis component projection dimension Ly are calculated. A projection dimension Lm is selected which is the Xc axis component projection dimension Lx or the Yc axis component projection dimension Ly larger than the other. Photographing conditions of a main virtual camera are set so that a specific ratio is achieved between the projection dimension Lm and a screen width Wx or Wy in the axial component direction of the projection dimension Lm. An image photographed by the main virtual camera is displayed as a main game screen.

  • Patent number: 5616852
    Abstract: A device for measuring woven fabric stress. The device includes a vacuum chamber having high rigidity; a vacuum pump for reducing the pressure in the vacuum chamber; a pressure gauge; a fabric displacement measuring device; and a fabric stress calculator. The vacuum chamber has an opening for sealing engagement with a surface of a fabric under atmospheric pressure. Upon evacuating the air from the vacuum chamber, the atmospheric pressure against the opposite surface of the fabric distends a portion of the fabric into the vacuum chamber. The measure of fabric distension and the reduced pressure reading in the vacuum chamber are transmitted to the fabric stress calculator, which compares the readings to compute a fabric stress reading.
