Abstract:
A thin film magnetic head has a magnetic pole major layer terminated at a position receding from a medium-opposed surface. An intermediate magnetic layer extends forward toward the medium-opposed surface from the surface of the magnetic pole major layer. The intermediate magnetic layer is terminated at a position receding from the medium-opposed surface. A tip magnetic layer extends to the medium-opposed surface from the surface of the intermediate magnetic layer so as to expose the front end at the medium-opposed surface. The layered structure serves to diminish variation in the sectional area of the path of the magnetic flux. Saturation of magnetic flux is sufficiently suppressed irrespective of the reduction in the sectional area. Even if the tip magnetic layer is reduced in lateral width, the tip magnetic layer allows a sufficient leakage of magnetic flux from the front end.

Abstract:
A magnetic recording layer is formed on an auxiliary magnetic layer in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The auxiliary magnetic layer has the axis of easy magnetization in the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of a substrate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium reliably allows establishment of the magnetization in the auxiliary magnetic layer in the vertical direction. When a magnetic flux flows along the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording layer, the magnetic flux flows across the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetization is thus reliably established in the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetic field of a stronger intensity is thus leaked out of the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction.
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a magnetic orientation controller layer serving as a layer for controlling crystalline orientation in an upper layer. A non-magnetic orientation controller layer extends on the surface of the magnetic orientation controller layer The non-magnetic orientation controller layer serves as a layer for controlling crystalline orientation in an upper layer. A magnetic recording layer extends on the surface of the non-magnetic orientation controller layer. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium allows a reliable establishment of a uniform crystalline orientation in the magnetic recording layer based on the influences from the magnetic and non-magnetic orientation controller layers. A reliable establishment of a uniform crystalline orientation can be achieved without an increase in the thickness of the non-magnetic orientation controller layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a perpendicular magnetic recording medium that reduces medium noise and achieves thermal stability of recording magnetization. This perpendicular magnetic recording medium has a substrate and a recording layer formed by single-layered magnetic nanoparticles that are aligned at uniform intervals. An auxiliary magnetic film that is thinner than the recording layer is interposed between the substrate and the recording layer. The magnetization of the magnetic nanoparticles is secured by the exchange interaction effect of the auxiliary magnetic film.
Abstract:
A magnetic write head having a gap structure that improves write head performance. The write head includes a magnetic write pole and a magnetic shield that is separated from the trailing edge of the write pole by a non-magnetic trailing gap layer and is separated from the sides of the write pole by non-magnetic side gap layers. The trailing gap extends laterally beyond the side gap layers, and a convex bump is formed at an edge of the magnetic shield at a location near the trailing end of each of the side gap layers.

Abstract:
In an electronic device, a speaker attaching section 17 which is vertically open with respect to a circuit board 10 and into which a speaker 16 is press-fitted is integrally formed on a contact sheet 13 arranged on the circuit board 10 provided inside an upper case 8. Therefore, the speaker 16 can be easily attached in a manner that sound therefrom does not leak, simply by the speaker 16 being press-fitted into the speaker attaching section 17 of the contact sheet 13. Accordingly, in the present invention, the structure of the speaker section 6 is simple and the number of its components is small, whereby the thickness of the speaker section 6 can be reduced. In addition, sound generated by the speaker can be favorably and reliably emitted from the speaker attaching section 17 to the outside of the upper case 8, without chattering noise being generated.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium is provided. The magnetic recording medium comprises an in-plane magnetic film used for recording, and a perpendicular magnetic film formed on the in-plane magnetic film. The in-plane magnetic film has a magnetization easy axis in an in-plane direction. The perpendicular magnetic film has a magnetization easy axis oriented in a direction perpendicular to the magnetization easy axis of the in-plane magnetic film. A tBr (a product of a thickness and a residual magnetization) of the perpendicular magnetic film is set so as not to exceed one-fifth of a tBr of the in-plane magnetic film at the maximum.
