Patent number: 7023641Abstract: In a magnetic disk drive, a writing element and its surrounding area thermally expand due to the heat generated by a write head coil. The transient phenomenon of such thermal expansion may invoke the transient phenomenon of inadequate writing capacity, thereby causing a writing error at an early stage of a write operation. Control is provided which increases/decreases either or both the write current to be applied to a write head and the amount of its overshoot on an individual sector basis during a writing sequence.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2003Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Japan, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Doi, Masayoshi Shimokoshi, Hitoshi Yoshida

Patent number: 7005922Abstract: In order to rapidly control the gains of a plurality of variable gain amplifiers VGAs, each of gain control circuits is configured to determine a gain to be set therein, based on gain control information received from other gain control circuits existing in its preceding stage or stages and the signal level detected by a level detector circuit connected thereto. By carrying out such gain control, a total application gain is stabilized more quickly by gain control. Therefore, even in receiving systems that the preparation period for reception is very short, desired gain control is achieved within this period and stable data reception can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Oshima, Takeshi Doi, Kenji Maio, Irei Kyu

Publication number: 20040249346Abstract: A medical needle device includes a winged shield (4) having a substantially cylindrical shaped shield cylinder (4a) and wings (5, 6) connected to the front end side thereof, a needle base (2) inserted in the shield cylinder (4a), and a needle (1). The wings have wing projections (7, 8) and the shield cylinder has through holes (9, 10) on the wall thereof. By overlaying the wings along the side surface of the shield cylinder, each of the wing projections can be inserted into the inner cavity of the shield cylinder via the through hole. Thereby, without requiring a special operation in the sticking operation, each of the wing projections can prevent the needle base from moving in the axial direction and can hold the needle base in the shield cylinder reliably in a state in which the needle protrudes from the front end of the shield cylinder by a predetermined length.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Jun Kunitomi, Takeshi Doi

Patent number: 6747833Abstract: The position information of the magnetic head is generated also from the data area to improve the positioning accuracy. The magnetic disk drive has a function of oscillating the magnetic head in the radial direction in the data area at a specific frequency and a function of detecting a read signal during the execution of the oscillation function and detects position information of the magnetic head from the detected read signal. The magnetic head position control can be performed in the data area. The magnetic head position signal not dependent on the frequency of a sampling signal generated from the servo information area can be generated. This in turn improves the data recording density and allows a highly precise position control of the magnetic head, thus improving the reliability of the magnetic disk drive.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2001Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masayoshi Shimokoshi, Takeshi Doi

Patent number: 6734730Abstract: In order to provide a high sensitivity variable gain amplifier, there is provided a structure in which at least one path comprising at least a stage of the voltage-input/voltage-output amplifier+ a stage of voltage-input/current-output amplifier and a path comprising a stage of the voltage-input/current-output amplifier are connected in parallel between the input terminal and output terminal or, a structure in which a plurality of paths each comprising at least a stage of voltage-input/voltage-output amplifier+a stage of voltage-input/current-output amplifier are connected in parallel between the input terminal and output terminal. A gain is switched by selecting and operating any one of paths. When any one path is selected, an input impedance viewed from the input terminal is suppressed almost not to change or an output impedance viewed from the output terminal is suppressed almost not to change. Thereby, a high sensitivity wireless receiver can be realized.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Doi, Kenji Maio
