Abstract: A head slider for a flexible magnetic disk has a
magnetic pole pad including a magnetic head buried in the
pad and being disposed on a surface of the head slider
opposed to the flexible magnetic disk, and the magnetic
head performs the recording of a signal on the flexible
magnetic disk or the reproducing of the signal from the
flexible magnetic disk in a state that the pad contacts
the flexible magnetic disk rotating at a relative speed of
0 m/s to 25.0 m/s to the magnetic head.

Abstract: A frequency domain analysis system incorporated into time domain
measurement instrument has duration and resolution controls that respectively
adjust the acquisition time intervals of a waveform record in seconds and adjusts the
number of digital data samples over a specified duration. The duration of the
acquisition waveform may be controlled using the duration control adjustment, a
sample rate adjustment and a record length adjustment. The resolution controls
concurrently adjusts the sample rate and the record length of the acquisition
waveform while maintaining the duration constant. A movable and variable length
frequency spectrum gate is applied to the digital data samples of the acquired
waveform. A window filter is applied to the digital data samples within the gated
region a spectrum analysis generator generates frequency domain values over the
gates waveform record. The spectrum analysis generator outputs frequency domain
values defined by frequency span and center frequency controls associated with
spectrum analysis generator.

Abstract: A reinforced panel structure made by impregnating resin in a knitted
fabric and allowing the resin to cure. The fabric comprises first and
second spaced layers (1,2) which are interlinked by an intermediate pile
layer (3) comprising two sets of ribs (4,5). The ribs (4) comprise
monofilament yarns having a relatively high stiffness sufficient to provide a
restoring force during impregnation of the fabric with resin. The ribs (5)
are made from multifilament yarns, spun yarns or composite yarns,
selected for desired properties of the finished fabric and/or for their wetting
properties during impregnation. 
     A method of making a reinforced panel structure is also described,
this involving placing the impregnated fabric into a closed mould wherein it
can expand, under the influence of the monofilament yarns, to fill the mould
and thus produce a finished 3D article corresponding in shape to the
interior of the mould.

Abstract: A data-storage system for use with a flexible data-storage medium (12) includes a
stabilizing member (40a, 40b, 40c). The system also comprises a data-transducing head
(13) coupled to an air-hearing slider (14). The data-transducing head and the air-bearing
slider arc positioned proximate a data-storage surface (12a) of the medium. The
stabilizing member is positioned adjacent an opposing second surface (12b) of the data-storage
medium. The data-transducing head (13) and the stabilizing member (40a, 40b,
40c, 40d) are aligned so that a portion of the data-storage medium (12) is sandwiched
between the head and the stabilizing member. The data-storage medium is rotated during
data-transducing operations. The stabilizing member interacts with an aerodynamic
boundary layer that forms on the second surface of the data-storage medium as a result of
the medium's rotational movement. This interaction stabilizes the portion of the data-storage
medium disposed between the stabilizing member and the data-transducing head,
and thereby allows the data-transducing head to fly above the data-storage surface without
substantially contacting the data-storage surface.

IPC: B62D65/00
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for applying films (14) onto wall sections of a shell (1) in an assembly line production. According to the inventive method, films (14) are supplied to the assembly line (5) on pallets (19) and the films (14) are picked up from the pallets (19) and are placed on the wall sections where they self-adhere. Once the films (14) have been temporarily deposited, the body (1) is passed through a furnace in which the actual application of the films (14) is brought about by the action of heat by melting them onto the respective base. The aim of the invention is to prevent dust and lint from being formed during said process. To this end, the invention provides an apparatus (2) with a multi-joint arm (8) and a pick-up frame (11) that is movably mounted thereon. Said apparatus is used to pick up the films (14) from their pallets (19) and for depositing the films (14) on the wall sections of the body (1). One or more films (14) are picked up from outside the body (1) by means of the pick-up frame (11). The film(s) is/are transported together with the pick-up frame (11) through an opening of the body (1) to the site of deposition by means of the arm (8) and is/are deposited there.

Abstract: Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by prolongation of the QT interval on electrocardiogram and presence of syncope, seizures and sudden death. Five genes have been implicated in Romano-Ward syndrome, the autosomal dominant form of LQTS. These genes are KVLQT1, HERG, SCN5A, KCNE1 and KCNE2. Mutations in KVLQT1 and KCNE1 also cause the Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, a form of LQTS associated with deafness, a phenotypic abnormality inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Mutational analyses were used to screen 262 unrelated individuals with LQTS for mutations in the five defined genes. A total of 134 mutations were observed of which eighty were novel.

Abstract: A two-step chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is
provided for low dishing of metal lines in trenches in an
insulation (oxide) layer, e.g., of silicon dioxide of a
thickness of about 100-2000 nm, of a semiconductor wafer, e.g.,
of silicon, during its fabrication. The first step involves
chemically mechanically polishing a metal layer, e.g., of copper
of a thickness of about 200-2000 nm, disposed on the oxide layer
and having a lower portion located in the trenches for forming
metal lines and an upper portion overlying the lower portion.
The first step polishing is effected at a high downforce, e.g.,
3-8 psi, to remove at a high rate the upper portion of the metal
layer substantially without removing the lower portion thereof
and substantially without dishing of the lower portion located
in the trenches. The second step involves continuing the CMP at
a lower downforce, e.g., 1-5 psi, to remove at a lower rate the
lower portion of the metal layer with attendant minimized
dishing to an extent for providing the metal lines as individual
metal lines correspondingly disposed in the trenches. The total
polishing time is about 120-48 seconds (2-8 minutes).
