Abstract: An earphone cable structure includes a first connection sleeve, a primary cable, a first branch cable, a second branch cable and a thin-type bridging section. The first connection sleeve includes a first end and a second end. The primary cable is connected to the first end, and includes first core lines and second core lines. The first branch cable is connected to the second end, and includes third core lines connected to the first core lines. The second branch cable is connected to the second end, and includes fourth core lines connected to the second core lines. The axial cross-sectional width of the primary cable is equal to the axial cross-sectional width of the first branch cable plus that of the second branch cable. The thin-type bridging section is connected between the first branch cable and the second branch cable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic bearing arrangement, particularly for a spindle motor to drive the platters of a hard disk drive, the bearing arrangement having a shaft and a bearing bush, which, supported by a lubricant circulating between their bearing surfaces, are rotatable with respect to each other, a covering cap being provided that covers an end face and regions of the outside diameter of the bearing bush adjoining this end face. A free space is provided between the bearing bush and the covering cap, the free space being connected to the bearing gap and at least partially filled with lubricant. According to the invention, a channel running substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bearing bush is provided on the outside diameter of the bearing bush, one end of the channel leading into the free space and allowing the filling level of the lubricant in the free space to be measured.

Abstract: A sheet transporting device assembly, such as a idler mounting assembly, of an image forming device has a frame portion attachably detachable to a guide member. The frame portion has at least one opening able to receive at least one idler roll. Each idler roll is rotatably attached to a shaft. The shaft is moveably attached to the frame by an attachment structure. The idler mounting assembly is pivotably and precisely aligned with the outer mainframe so that the components of the outer frame and the idler mounting assembly are aligned, and further allows the user to gain access the space around the guide member and between the idler rolls and drive rolls of the outer frame.
