Abstract: A pressure sensor module 2, wherein a holding space 34 is formed between a diaphragm 22 and a thin film layer 31, and a vent hole 321 communicating with the exterior of a first case is provided in the holding space 34. In the above pressure sensor module, even when a corrosive gas or chemical solution is used as a fluid to be measured and a corrosive gas component originated from the fluid to be measured permeates into the holding space 34, the permeated corrosive gas component can be discharged to the outside of the case through the vent hole 321. As a result, the corrosion of the diaphragm 22 by the fluid to be measured can be prevented, which results in the achievement of a prolonged service life of the pressure sensor module 2.

Abstract: Firstly, in order to check the noise level of a device, DC erasure is applied to a magnetic recording medium and the magnetic recording medium is read. Then, a test signal including a first order component and a third order harmonic frequency is written into the magnetic recording medium. The written test signal is read and Fourier transform is applied to the read signal to obtain the respective amplitude of the first order and third order harmonic components. Then, it is determined whether the amplitude of the third order harmonic component is sufficiently large compared with the obtained noise level. If the amplitude is sufficiently large, the flying height of the head is estimated using both the first order and third order harmonic components. If the amplitude is not sufficiently large, the flying height of the head is estimated using only the first order component.

Abstract: A CAN module receives a message from a CAN bus to store the same in a message box unit of a message box. A reception request signal is output from the message box unit to a DMAC/IF. The DMAC/IF outputs a 7-bit encoded address together with a transfer request signal. A DMAC accesses a selected message box unit of the CAN module and a memory based on the transfer request signal and the 7-bit encoded address to transfer the message stored in the selected message box unit to the memory.

The first scavenging ports (12) are opened later and introduce an air-fuel mixture (M) pre-compressed in a crank chamber (8) into the same combustion chamber (6). Thus, harmful substances contained in exhaust gas discharged from the engine (1) are reduced.
