Abstract: The present invention provides an electric power system for stably supplying power while suppressing corona discharge generating ultraviolet radiation which may cause health problems in human beings. The corona discharge start voltage varies with the weather. Data on weather forecasts is inputted for each district at certain times so as to calculate the corona discharge estimated start voltage for each transmission line with a computer. If the calculation result predicts start of corona discharge at normal transmission voltage, the transmission voltage of the line is lowered or power transmission through the transmission line is stopped.

Abstract: Epidemiological surveys show that the risk of suffering from childhood leukemia in places near high-voltage power transmission lines is higher. Relevant data and material have been collected and analyzed. I found that the major factor in the high risk of childhood leukemia is ultraviolet radiation (particularly UV-B and UV-C) generated by corona discharge from high-voltage transmission lines. The present invention provides an electric power system for stably supplying power while suppressing corona discharge generating ultraviolet radiation which may cause health problems in human beings. The corona discharge start voltage varies with the weather. Data on weather forecasts is inputted for each district at certain times so as to calculate the corona discharge estimated start voltage for each transmission line with a computer.

Abstract: Data and directories are separated and stored on separate parts of an optical disk. Directories are on the inner tracks and data are on the outer tracks, in a first format. Data and directories are written from magnetic disk storage in a different second specific format that is determined by a particular operating system used by an information processor. A medical information processing system is provided with an external magnetic disk storage and the optical disk.

Abstract: An optical information recording disc having at least one substrate for recording/reproducing information through an optical unit wherein a spindle hole, through which a spindle is provided as a disc drive system, is formed in a central portion of the substrate and an engagement member engageable with a disc engagement member integrally formed with the spindle, is formed around the central portion.

Abstract: A disk cartridge accommodating a disk-type recording medium and adapted to be used on a recording/read-out apparatus having at least an upper head and lower head for accessing to the upper and lower surfaces of the disk, the disk cartridge comprising an upper case member and a lower case member which are assembled together to form a case defining therein an internal space for accommodating the disk, head windows formed in the upper and lower case members opposing each other so as to allow the heads to make access to the disk therethrough, the head windows extending in a predetermined radial direction of the disk, a recess formed by recessing the surface of each case member at a region extending between one longitudinal end of the head window and the edge of the case member closest to the longitudinal end of the head window, and a shutter capable of sliding on the case in the widthwise direction of the head windows so as to open/close the recesses and the head windows, the head window formed in the upper case

Abstract: An alignment disk having an adjust signal recorded thereon to maintain data interchangeability of a magnetic disk drive apparatus and loadable and unloadable to and from the magnetic disk drive apparatus, and method and apparatus for verifying a tracking errors of the magnetic disk drive apparatus are disclosed; the magnetic disk drive apparatus including magnetic head means for recording and reproducing data on and from a magnetic recording medium, a head carriage for carrying the magnetic head means, and drive means for driving the head carriage radially of a track of the magnetic recording medium; the alignment disk having a set of track diameter adjust signal pairs recorded on tracks equal to or larger in number than the number of phases of a stepping motor for driving the head carriage and corresponding to at least the excitation phases of the stepping motor; the set of track diameter adjust signal pairs each having an inner track signal and an outer track signal extending inward and outward from a cente

Abstract: A rotary disk including a recording and reproducing sheet, and a hub formed of hard material secured to a central portion of the sheet. The hub comprises a center opening adapted to receive a main spindle of a turntable of disk driving means, two planar surfaces arranged in an intersecting relation to each other and formed on a projecting wall portion of the center opening, and a resilient member located in a position facing the two planar surfaces for pressing the spindle against the two planar surfaces. Even if the recording and reproducing sheet of the rotary disk is a thin magnetic sheet, there is no risk of damage of the sheet. When the rotary disk is set on the turntable, the center of rotation of the rotary disk and the center of rotation of the turntable can be automatically brought into alignment with each other.
