Patent number: 7940497Abstract: A magnetic head device is provided. A slider of a magnetic head device has a side that faces a recording medium and on which a first positive pressure is exerted on the leading side and a second positive pressure is exerted on the trailing side. In the area between the first positive pressure area and the second positive pressure area, a small second negative pressure is created at the front. A first negative pressure larger than the second negative pressure is created at the rear. A third positive pressure is exerted on both sides of the first negative pressure area. When air density decreases, the small second negative pressure in a middle area and the large first negative pressure at the rear of the second negative pressure area stabilize the pitch angle of the slider and prevent an excessive decrease in the flying distance of a trailing end portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Yasuyuki Kondo, Junsei Ueda, Shouhei Ueda, legal representative, Mihoko Ueda, legal representative, Hirohisa Ishihara

Patent number: 7859450Abstract: In a detection and ranging apparatus that performs direction-of-arrival estimation using a sensor array and that enlarges an effective aperture using a plurality of transmitting sensors, adverse effects associated with time division switching are eliminated, achieving high-accuracy measurement. A transmitter wave is spread in modulators by using mutually orthogonal codes, and the resulting transmitter waves are radiated from two transmitting sensors. Signals received by receiving sensors are each split by a splitter into two parts, which are then respectively despread in a demodulator by using the same codes as those used in the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Kazuo Shirakawa, Katsuyuki Ohguchi, Yasuyuki Kondo

Patent number: 7499245Abstract: On a disk-facing surface of a magnetic head slider, rail surfaces that are at the same height as a magnetic device surface and raised leading surfaces connect the magnetic device surface to the raised leading surfaces. Moreover, a central step surface at a level lower than the magnetic device surface and higher than a recessed area extends from an area between the raised leading surfaces to an area between the rail surfaces. Therefore, even if the amount of Air intake is reduced due to atmospheric pressure changes or the like, air can be efficiently guided to the magnetic device surface and thus, the flying position of the magnetic head slider can be stabilized.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2006Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Shouhei Ueda, legal representative, Mihoko Ueda, legal representative, Yasuyuki Kondo, legal representative, Junsei Ueda

Publication number: 20070211385Abstract: A magnetic head device floats above a surface of a rotating recording medium due to airflow. A front positive-pressure surface is formed in the leading side of an opposed surface of a slider, and a rear positive-pressure surface is formed in the trailing side. A front edge portion of the rear positive-pressure surface has a shape recessed toward the trailing side, and a concave portion is formed from the front edge portion toward the magnetic functional unit. Airflow flowing between the slider and the recording medium is concentrated in the rear of the concave portion. When the magnetic functional unit emits heat and thus a portion projects toward the recording medium, a decrease in the floating distance of the magnetic functional unit can be counteracted by the local positive pressure of the airflow concentrated locally.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: ALPS ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuyuki Kondo, Hirohisa Ishihara

Patent number: 7145752Abstract: A magnetic head apparatus including a magnetic head slider having an overall front half region area (S) and a step surface area (S1) and a positive-pressure generating surface area (S2) both in the front half region, such that the area ratio S1/S is about 0.180 to about 0.232 and the area ratio S1/S2 is about 0.30 to about 0.47. With this arrangement a difference in pitch angles of the magnetic head slider at the moment when it is just levitated and during levitation is large, and a variation of the pitch angle due to a pressure change is small, thereby preventing damage to a magnetic element within the magnetic head slider while achieving a stable levitation attitude of the magnetic head slider.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junsei Ueda, Hirohisa Ishihara, Yasuyuki Kondo, Satoshi Morikawa, Keishi Nakashima
