  • Patent number: 8848317
    Abstract: A magnetic disk drive system configured for shingled magnetic data recording wherein data tracks are recorded in an overlapping fashion on a magnetic media. The disk drive system includes magnetic write heads that are asymmetric so as to have increased writing at one side of the write head. The magnetic disk drive system includes magnetic write heads that are mirror images of one another so that write heads located at opposite surfaces of the magnetic media (e.g. one head facing up and one facing down) end up having preferential writing in the location relative to inner and outer diameters of the magnetic media.

  • Patent number: 8802974
    Abstract: A solar cell includes a p-n junction formed by joining a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor. The p-type semiconductor is a chalcopyrite compound semiconductor with a band gap of 1.5 eV or more within which an intermediate level exists with a half bandwidth of 0.05 eV or more. The intermediate level is different from an impurity level. The chalcopyrite compound semiconductor includes a first element having first electronegativity of 1.9 or more in Pauling units, the first element occupying a lattice site of the semiconductor. A portion of the first element is substituted with a second element having second electronegativity different from the first electronegativity, the second element being a congeneric element of the first element. The intermediate level is created by substituting the first element with the second element.

  • Patent number: 8643967
    Abstract: The present invention enhances reliability by correcting a write error due to unstable oscillation of a spin torque oscillator. In the present invention, a resistance value of a spin torque oscillator is monitored to detect that oscillation becomes unstable during recording. When a measured resistance value is out of a predefined normal range, information for which the recording operation is already performed is rewritten.

  • Patent number: 8583322
    Abstract: A mobile crusher includes: a crusher that crushes raw material; a discharge conveyor being disposed on a downstream side of the crusher to discharge the material crushed by the crusher; an engine that serves as a driving source at least for the crusher and the discharge conveyer; a fuel injection quantity controlling unit that controls a speed of the engine; a crusher pressure sensor that determines a change in a load of the crushed material in the crusher; and a pressure sensor that determines presence or absence of the crushed material to be discharged on the discharge conveyor. When the crusher pressure sensor determines that the load on the crusher is reduced and the pressure sensor determines that the crushed material is not present on the discharge conveyor, the fuel injection quantity controlling unit lowers the speed of the engine to a decelerated speed.
