  • Patent number: 11940047
    Abstract: To provide a simple-structured chain guide assembly frame capable of reliably maintaining a correct positional relationship between a driven sprocket and a sprocket holding portion without the possibility of driven sprocket detachment. The chain guide assembly frame includes a main body having a fixed-guide-side sprocket holding portion and a pivoting-guide-side sprocket holding portion. The fixed-guide-side sprocket holding portion includes a first fixed-guide-side support portion that supports a driven sprocket at a first contact point, and a second fixed-guide-side support portion that supports the driven sprocket at a second contact point located more outside than the first contact point. When the driven sprocket is in an erected state in which the driven sprocket is supported at the first contact point and second contact point, the vector of gravity acting on the gravity center of the driven sprocket points between the first contact point and second contact point.

  • Patent number: 11935568
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording device includes a magnetic head and a controller. The magnetic head includes first and second magnetic poles, a magnetic element provided between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole, first and second terminals electrically connected to one end and another end of the magnetic element, respectively, and a coil. The controller is electrically connected to the magnetic element and the coil, and performs a recording operation. In the recording operation, the controller supplies a recording current to the coil while applying an element voltage between the first and second terminals. When the applied voltage is changed while the recording current is supplied, a differential resistance of the magnetic element becomes a first differential resistance peak when the applied voltage is a first voltage, and becomes a second differential resistance peak when the applied voltage is a second voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240073787
    Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell allows use of subscribers. To receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is notified to a user equipment, but cannot be obtained outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. Base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell, and access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued when use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment to a core network. The core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, if allowed, transmits a signal for assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the CSG-ID.
