IPC: G21C19/16
Filed: 1990-07-27
Abstract: A refueling mast for a reactor complex includes nested generally cylindrical tubes (132, 134). The inner tube has vertical grooved tracks formed therein. The outer tube has a guide roller (224) mounted thereon with grooves which mate with track grooves of a respective track on the adjacent inner tube. Track grooves are cold formed moving a roller die tool up and down the inner tube, while increasing pressure on the incorporated die rollers. This process flattens the inner tube where the tracks are being formed. The grooved tracks and the associated flattening provide the torsional rigidity required on the mast tubes for precise positioning and orientation of fuel elements.

Title: Disc drive units
Inventor: KIMURA TOSHIKI
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1991-06-21
Abstract: A disc-drive apparatus includes a writing unit (22) responsive to a head select signal (HS) fed from a host controller, for selecting one of a plurality of heads (20₁ ∼20n) to write write data (WD) into a medium, a power supply voltage generating unit (24) for generating at least one power supply voltage (Vcc₁), a unit (26) for monitoring the power supply voltage fed to the writing unit and, upon detecting an abnormality of the monitored power supply voltage, outputting a reset signal (RS), and a latching unit (30) for retaining the head select signal (HS,HSO) to be fed to the writing unit. Upon receipt of the reset signal, the latching unit prohibits a latching and switching operation to be carried out by a subsequent head select signal fed from the host controller and maintains an output state of the retained head select signal, while the power supply voltage generating unit stops a supply of the power supply voltage to the writing unit. As a result, it is possible to prevent data in the medium from being destroyed due to a change or re-writing thereof by a malfunction of head selection operation occurring during a transient state of a lowering of the power supply voltage, or the like.
