Abstract: A three-terminal capacitor includes a main body having a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical shape extending in a first direction and including first and second inner electrodes alternately laminated together with dielectric layers interposed therebetween, a pair of first outer electrodes on two end surfaces of the main body in the first direction and electrically connected to the first inner electrodes, and a second outer electrode electrically connected to the second inner electrodes. The main body includes a projecting portion projecting in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction at a position between the pair of first outer electrodes. The second outer electrode is provided on one surface of the projecting portion viewable when viewed in the first direction.

Abstract: A magnetic disk apparatus has: a head (2) that performs data recording and playback while moving relative to a magnetic disk (26) rotating at the prescribed speed; an actuator (3) that positions said head relative to said magnetic disk (26); and a controller (4) that detects the position of said head by means of servo sector that have positioning information recorded magnetically on said magnetic disk (1) and performs control to position said actuator (3) by means of this detection signal, wherein said magnetic disk (1) has at least a part in which the arrangement of tracks is spiral. The magnetic patterns on the disk include a servo sector and a data sector both formed on the same spiral track. The servo sector includes burst patterns for servo control.
