Abstract: A magnetic hard disk drive comprising a magnetic disk and a magnetic head slider, characterized in that said magnetic head slider is coated with a layer having a contact angle of 50° or more when measured by using a lubricant coated on the magnetic disk, is free from start failure due to stiction caused by adhesion of the lubricant to the slider surface.

Abstract: In a magnetic disk unit having a load/unload function of a magnetic head for a magnetic disk, the magnetic disk and the magnetic head are prevented from contacting with each other and damage thereto is avoided by utilizing a shallow dual-step subambient pressure slider and carrying out loading/unloading at a rotational speed lower than a rated rotational speed of the normally operated magnetic disk at which writing and reading (R/W) data to and from the magnetic disk by the magnetic head is done.

Abstract: Gas contaminants generated from the grease of bearings operating in a magnetic disk device adhere to the magnetic head and causing stiction and magnetic head crash. Such bearings are typically spindle bearings and pivot bearings. In operation, heat is generated that causes the bearing grease to generate the gases. By heat treating the grease, slow evaporating substances of hydrocarbon compounds with carbons of C9 to C13 in the grease are reduced to not more than 0.001 wt. % of the grease. The grease can then be used to lubricate the bearings. The heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 60.degree. to 100.degree. C. at a pressure of 10.sup.-3 to 10.sup.-8 torr. The assembled, lubricated bearings can be heat treated separately from the magnetic disk device or the heat treatment can take place after the bearings have been assembled in the magnetic disk device.

Abstract: A photosensitive composition comprising (1) a compound having at least one addition-polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated double bond, (2) an acidic vinyl copolymer soluble or swellable in alkaline water, which contains, in its molecule, a vinyl monomer having an aromatic hydroxyl group, as a constituting unit, (3) a photopolymerization initiator, and (4) a diazo resin, wherein the diazo resin is a copolycondensed compound which contains, in its molecule, an aromatic compound having a carboxyl group and/or a hydroxyl group, and an aromatic diazonium compound, as constituting units.

Abstract: Apparatus for indicating incomplete and complete fastening of a screw includes a washer and a ring of a generally flat synthetic resin sheet. The washer includes a pair of washer portions of a generally flat, round shape and a joint portion interconnecting the washer portions to face them in opposite directions to enable the washer portions to receive a shank of a screw in the openings thereof. The lengthwise section of the joint portion forms generally a U shape. The ring is made of a generally round, deformable material and is inserted between the pair of washer portions thus facing each other. The deformable material is expanded radially outward, when compressed by the washer portions receiving the shank of the screw when fastened. Upon the compressive force reaching a predetermined value, the ring will be broken due to the pair of washer portions overlaying one another.

Abstract: In a flooring panel, plural blocks are held by a holding member of a flexible material so that one section is formed by at least one block with a space for laying a cable defined between adjacent sections. A cover member overlying these spaces is arranged to present a surface continuous with the upper surface of the blocks to form a flat, top surface of the flooring panel. The flooring panel is in the form of a rectangular modular flooring panel of at least one shape and size. A plurality of cable laying spaces in communication with one another are defined by laying a plurality of such modular flooring panels on a building floor as a function of the amount of cables to be laid. In such a manner, the operation of cable laying and construction of the flooring panels on the permanent building floor may be performed more efficiently while the interaction between the cables of different kinds is minimized.
