Abstract: The conductors, which are formed on a suspension member of the hard-disc drive
suspension is subjected to thermal expansion and shrinkage during the laminating
process with a substrate via polyimide binder 3. The tracking width of the suspension
member is influenced by the thermal expansion and shrinkage. In order to provide a
copper-alloy foil, which can attain improved tracking width, the following ratio of
thermal expansion and shrinkage is adjusted in a range of from - 0.1 to + 0.1%
 Δ(%)= ( l - l 0   ) / l   0 ×100 
       l   0 : the length of a specimen before heating at 330°C for 2
hours, and  l  : the length of a specimen after heating at 330°C for 2 hours. Δ(%) is
measured in the direction parallel to the rolling direction. Furthermore, the copper alloy
foil consists of from 1 to 4.8% of Ni, from 0.2 to 1.4% of Si, the ratio of Ni content relative
to the Si content being adjusted to 2 to8, the balance being essentially copper and
unavoidable impurities. The tensile strength is 650 MPa or more. The inclusions do
not exceeding 10 µm in size and fifty or less inclusions from 5 to 10 µm in size should
be limited to fifty or less per mm 2  of a cross section of the foil in the direction parallel to
the rolling direction.

Abstract: A gate bias voltage (Vgsdc) of a FET is compared at an
operational amplifier (A) with a reference voltage and closed-loop
control is performed on the gate bias voltage (Vgsdc) of

temperature characteristics of the mutual conductance of the

current (Idsdc) due to input signal level and temperature
changes can be suppressed. The circuit at the gate and the
circuit at the drain are separate, making possible class A,
class AB, and class B operations. The voltage drop at the gate
resistor (Rg) can be ignored so that the gate resistor (Rg) can

axis of the main spindle rotation motor and the workpiece W is
calculated, and when the gap is not larger than a predetermined
value G, in S113, the movement position of the roughing tool is

Abstract: In a spark plug incorporating a pressure sensor of an embodiment, a groove
17e for accommodating an output cable 27 is formed on a side surface of a hexagonal
portion 17a. A U-shaped member is bent into a tubular shape to obtain a fixing
member 31. After the fixing member 31 and the output cable 27 passed through the
fixing member 31 are placed in the groove 17e, the fixing member 31 is caulked in
the direction of an arrow shown in FIG. 5(a), so that the fixing member 31 is
deformed to fit the wall surface of the groove 17e. Thus, the output cable 27 is
nipped by the fixing member 31, and the fixing member 31 is held within the groove
17e of the hexagonal portion 17a. As a result, the output cable 27 is fixed to the
hexagonal portion 17a. Consequently, a spark plug incorporating a pressure sensor is
provided which has a tightening portion onto which an ordinary plug wrench having
no slit can be fitted, which has increased resistance to pulling out of an output cable,
