Patent number: 6804189Abstract: A near field optical recording medium having a header area in which at least an addressing signal or a timing signal is recorded by means of a concave/convex pattern with laser light using a flying optical head. When a concave/convex portion of the concave/convex pattern is to be detected, either an effect due to a change in returning light caused by distance wherein the reflectance is changed or an effect due to a change in returning light caused by a diffraction effect is sufficiently larger, or a combination of such effects (changes by distance effect and changes by diffraction effect) are not weakened by each other, so that header information recorded by the concave/convex pattern can correctly be reproduced even in a super-high density recording medium using near field light.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Tosoh CorporationInventors: Toshio Inase, Koyata Takahashi, Koji Katayama, Tatsuo Kawasaki, Kenichi Sekimoto, Toru Futami, Keiichiro Nishizawa

Patent number: 6798734Abstract: An optical recording medium able to reproduce address information during seeking in which an optical head moves between tracks, to increase seek speed, to improve recording/reproduction speed and to obtain a good header reproducing signal is achieved by that the concave portions or convex portions constituting a reproducing signal in seeking reproduced even during seek and/or constituting a timing signal for writing a header signal are connected to each other in a direction orthogonal to the tracks, when these concave portions and/or convex portions are placed in positions equivalent to each other in the adjacent tracks.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Tosoh CorporationInventors: Tatsuo Kawasaki, Koyata Takahashi, Kenichi Sekimoto, Toru Futami, Shigeru Hiramatsu, Mutsumi Asano, Yuji Kawara, Tsuyoshi Tanaka

Patent number: 5939018Abstract: Martensitic stainless steels that enable the fabrication of high-strength seamless steel pipe suited for use in oil-well pipe and pipeline tubing by means of a Mannesmann plug mill or Mannesmann mandrel mill process, without the formation of defects during production. The heat workability of these steels, which contain no more than 0.30% by weight of carbon and from 11 to 14% by weight of chromium, and have a ferrite content of at least 40% at 1200.degree. C., has been vastly improved by holding the phosphorus and sulfur levels therein to no more than 0.020% and 0.003% by weight, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Ohtsubo, Tatsuo Kawasaki, Isao Takada

Patent number: 4533806Abstract: A method of manufacturing bimetallic tubes is disclosed. In this method, after an inner tube is inserted into an outer tube, the resulting tube assembly is heated, while pressurizing the inside of the inner tube with a gas, in the presence or absence of a solder material. When using no solder material, the materials of the inner and outer tubes are so selected that a thermal expansion coefficient of the inner tube is smaller than that of the outer tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1982Date of Patent: August 6, 1985Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Tatsuo Kawasaki, Isao Takada, Hiroshi Ohtsubo
