  • Patent number: 7706098
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an adjusting element adjusts a dynamic flying height of a head lying over a disk in accordance with the power supplied to it. A calculation module calculates the power to supply to the adjusting element, from a barometric pressure detected by a barometric pressure sensor. A failure detection module detects failure of the barometric pressure sensor. An unload controller predicts an abnormal dynamic flying height of the head from the failure detected and then instructs the unloading of the head away from the disk.

  • Publication number: 20090195912
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a measuring module measures the dynamic flying height of a head. A change calculation module calculates a change ?DFHPt in a reference power optimal for setting a first dynamic flying height, based on the difference between a second dynamic flying height, which has a value measured by the measuring module while the reference power is being supplied to a adjusting element, and the first dynamic flying height. A controller changes the power to be supplied to the adjusting element, by the change ?DFHPt calculated by the change calculation module.

  • Patent number: 7068962
    Abstract: At least one developing device applies toner onto a latent image formed on an image supporter to form a toner image thereon. A belt member is stretched and circulated by a plurality of roller members. The toner image, which is to be secondarily transferred onto a recording medium, is primarily transferred onto the belt member. A fixing device heats the recording medium to fix the secondary transferred toner image thereon. A casing accommodates the image supporter, the developing device, the roller members, the belt member and the fixing device, such that the developing device and the fixing device are partitioned by the belt member, and such that one of the roller members is located at a corner portion of the casing.
