The burners are arranged such that the central axis of each burner shares a plane with the rotational axis of the starting member, and at least two of the planes in which the central axis of one of the burners and the rotational axis of the starting member are arranged form a prescribed angle. | 03-27-2014 |
| 20140090426 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING POROUS GLASS DEPOSITION BODY FOR OPTICAL FIBER - Provided is a method of manufacturing a porous glass deposition body for optical fiber comprising depositing silica powder on a starting member being raised and rotated by using burners with different deposition positions. With a glass raw material flow rate supplied to a core deposition burner represented by F | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140174135 | GLASS FINE PARTICLE SYNTHESIS BURNER, GLASS FINE PARTICLE DEPOSITION BODY MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND GLASS FINE PARTICLE DEPOSITION APPARATUS - A glass fine particle synthesis burner comprising a glass raw material gas emission path for emitting glass raw material; a ring-shaped combustible gas emission path for emitting combustible gas arranged outside the glass raw material emission path; a ring-shaped combustion aiding gas emission path for emitting combustion aiding gas arranged outside the combustible gas emission path; and small diameter nozzles for emitting the combustion aiding gas within the combustible gas emission path. In a cross section of the glass fine particle synthesis burner formed by cleaving orthogonal to a central axis thereof, when the glass fine particle synthesis burner is divided into two regions by a predetermined straight line passing through a center of the glass fine particle synthesis burner, a total area of the small diameter nozzles in one of the regions is greater than a total area of the small diameter nozzles in the other region. | 06-26-2014 |

| 20080310045 | CONTROL UNIT, STORAGE UNIT, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING STORAGE UNIT - A control unit adjusts spacing between a head with a heater and a storage medium of a storage unit by controlling power of the heater. The control unit measures first values of touchdown heater power at a first temperature set as temperature condition. And the control unit estimates second values of the touchdown heater power at a temperature other than the first temperature set on the measurement of the first values, on basis of a conversion equation. And the control unit determines heater power setting values to adjust the spacing between the head and the storage medium, for each of the sub-areas, on the basis of the first values and the second values. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090141383 | SETTING METHOD OF MAGNETIC DISK APPARATUS AND MAGNETIC DISK SETTING APPARATUS - A gain setting apparatus that externally performs setting of a magnetic disk apparatus before shipment causes a servo data gain setting unit to set a servo data gain for a preamplifier. The gain setting apparatus then causes a core deviation correction processor to set the servo data gain as a provisional user data gain, so as to perform core deviation correction for correcting positional misalignment between a read core and a write core. Further, the gain setting apparatus causes a user data gain setting unit to set the user data gain for the preamplifier. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090141388 | MAGNETIC DISK APPARATUS - A preamplifier receives a servo gate signal indicating whether magnetic information read out from a disk by a head is servo data for positioning-use or user data stored in a user area available for reading and writing of given data. In the preamplifier, a servo data gain and a user data gain are set in advance. Based on a received servo gate signal, the preamplifier changes the gain depending on whether the head outputs the servo data or the user data. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090141392 | MEASUREMENT METHOD OF MAGNETIC DISK APPARATUS, AND MAGNETIC DISK APPARATUS - A gain controller changes a gain of a read amplifier depending on whether a head reads out servo data or user data. Further, a heater setting unit changes the temperature of a heater and a reading gain when detecting touchdown performed by the head. Accordingly, a dynamic range of AGC in a read-write channel is increased, so that error detection is prevented for touchdown that occurs because an AGC gain converged value remains at 0. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100123969 | INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE AND CONTROL CIRCUIT - According to one embodiment, an information storage device includes: a head reading user data and a start tag indicating a recording start position of the user data in each sector recorded on a medium, the user data and the start tag being read in order of the start tag and the user data; and a controller controlling the head to read a start tag recorded in a preceding sector arranged at a position to be read before a target sector with a movement of the medium, acquiring information on a recording start position of a user data recorded in the target sector based on the start tag read by the head and a relative positional relation between the preceding sector and the target sector, and controlling the head to read the user data recorded in the target sector. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100315737 | CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND INFORMATION STORAGE APPARATUS - A control device includes an acquisition section which acquires a reading signal from a head under plural heat amounts, an computation section which computes plural kinds of characteristic values representing characteristics of the reading signal for each of the plural generated heat amounts by using at least one kind of algorithm, a contact determination section which determines whether or not the head contacts the storage medium for each of the two or more kinds of characteristic values based on a change of the characteristic values for the generated heat amount, and an association determination section which determines an association of a distance between the head and the storage medium with the generated heat amount when determined that the head contacts the storage medium for any of the characteristic values as the generated heat amount when the head contacts the storage medium so that the is considered to be zero. | 12-16-2010 |
