  • Patent number: 7411329
    Abstract: The present invention provides a permanent-magnet-synchronous-motor having a stator with concentrated windings with the following structure so that permanent magnet (6) is hard to subjected to demagnetization magnetic field: 0.3 Lg<La?2.0 Lg, where La is a clearance between teeth of stator (1), and Lg is an air-gap between stator (1) and rotor (2). Outer walls of both ends of the permanent magnet (6) disposed within rotor (2) in a rim direction may be tapered toward inside from a rotor rim in a radial direction and to form a recessed section on the outer walls of the magnets. As a result, withstanding force against demagnetization is expected to increase.

  • Patent number: 7399540
    Abstract: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium which has been improved to be suitable for high-density magnetic recording and a magnetic recording apparatus using the medium are provided. The magnetic back film of a dual-layer perpendicular recording medium is caused to be constituted by a plurality of layers, and a keeper layer 17 for keeping perpendicular magnetization and layers 13 and 15 for improving the recording efficiency of a recording head are functionally separated from one another. Further, the magnetization orientations of the soft magnetic films excluding the keeper layer are defined to be in the circumferential direction of the disk, whereby the frequency of occurrence of noise is decreased.

  • Patent number: 7153546
    Abstract: Provided are a double-layer perpendicular magnetic recording medium having a high medium S/N at an areal recording density of 50 Gbits or more per square inch, and a magnetic storage apparatus having excellent reliability with a low error rate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium is formed by sequentially laminating a domain control layer, an amorphous soft magnetic underlayer, an intermediate layer, and a perpendicular recording layer on a substrate. The domain control layer is a triple-layer film formed by laminating a first polycrystalline soft magnetic layer, a disordered antiferromagnetic layer, and a second polycrystalline soft magnetic layer from a substrate side.

  • Patent number: 7071584
    Abstract: A linear motor includes tubular outer yoke (4), tubular inner yoke (3) disposed in outer yoke (4), coil (2) provided to inner yoke (3), permanent magnet (5a, 5b) vibrating following a magnetic flux produced by coil (2), and vibrator (6) made of magnetic material and supporting permanent magnets (5a, 5b). Magnetic loop produced by outer yoke (4) and inner yoke (3) travels through vibrator (6) free from interference by vibrator (6) because vibrator (6) is made of magnetic material. As a result, the linear motor vibrates efficiently.

  • Patent number: 7026810
    Abstract: An object is to automatically detect the positions of spike noise, create a distribution diagram, and perform pass/fail decisions. The cross-correlation function of the signal waveform from a magnetic head 1 and a reference waveform simulating spike noise is used in extraction of spike noise. The number of peaks in the cross-correlation function exceeding a threshold value is counted, and quantitative evaluation of spike noise is performed.

  • Patent number: 6979924
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor comprising a stator core having plural teeth and slots provided among the teeth, a winding applied on the teeth by a single turn, and a rotor incorporating plural permanent magnets, which is rotated and driven by utilizing reluctance torque in addition to magnet torque. By turning thus divided teeth by a single winding, the occupation rate of the winding in the slots can be raised. As a result, a motor of small size and large output can be presented.
