| 20100168526 | MEDICAL DEVICE - In a medical device that measures a condition of a living body, a recess is formed on the exterior (first and second surfaces) of its casing. An attachment member is attached to the inside of the recess. In the case where a display screen that displays a measurement result is provided on the casing, it is preferable that the first and second surfaces are adjacent to a third surface on which the display screen is provided. Preferably, the attachment member includes an adhesive material layer, a print layer, and an anti-slip layer that is formed of at least one of a resin material and a rubber material, and the adhesive material layer, the print layer, and the anti-slip layer are stacked in sequence. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100217095 | MEDICAL DEVICE - In a medical device that measures a condition of a living body, a first recess is formed on the exterior (first and second surfaces) of its casing. An anti-slip member is attached to the inside of the first recess. Moreover, another recess (second recess) is provided inside the first recess. The second recess is formed such that an end of the second recess protrudes from the anti-slip member when the anti-slip member is attached to the inside of the first recess. In the case where a display screen that displays a measurement result is provided on the casing, it is preferable that the first and second surfaces are adjacent to a third surface on which the display screen is provided. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20110134566 | SPINDLE MOTOR AND DISK DRIVE APPARATUS - A stationary portion of a spindle motor includes a base member and a magnetic member. The magnetic member is arranged below a magnet and fixed to the base member. The magnetic member includes an annular plate portion arranged on an upper surface of the base member, and a projecting portion arranged to extend from the plate portion in an axial direction. At least a portion of the projecting portion is press fitted to a wall surface of the base member. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20120033325 | SPINDLE MOTOR AND STORAGE DISK DRIVE - A dynamic pressure bearing is defined in a first gap between a shaft portion and a sleeve portion. An upper seal portion extending upward and a lower seal portion extending downward are arranged radially outward of the dynamic pressure bearing. Each of the upper seal portion and the lower seal portion includes a surface including a lubricating oil located therein. The upper seal portion and the lower seal portion are arranged in communication with each other through a communicating hole defined in the sleeve portion. The communicating hole and a space ranging from the upper seal portion to the lower seal portion through the first gap are filled with the lubricating oil. The axial distance between the surfaces of the lubricating oil in the upper seal portion and the lower seal portion is arranged to be shorter than the axial distance between an upper end and a lower end of the dynamic pressure bearing. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120033326 | SPINDLE MOTOR AND STORAGE DISK DRIVE - A spindle motor includes a stationary portion and a rotating portion. The stationary portion preferably includes a shaft portion, a lower plate portion, and an outer tubular portion. The rotating portion preferably includes an inner tubular portion and a flange portion including a communicating hole. An upper seal portion is arranged radially outward of a first gap, and a lower seal portion is arranged radially outward of a second gap. The upper and lower seal portions are arranged in communication with each other through the communicating hole. The communicating hole and a space extending from the upper seal portion to the lower seal portion through the first gap, the second gap, and a third gap are filled with a lubricating oil. The third gap includes a dynamic pressure generation portion arranged to produce a radially inward pressure acting on the lubricating oil. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120033327 | SPINDLE MOTOR AND STORAGE DISK DRIVE - A motor includes a stationary portion and a rotating portion. The rotating portion includes a sleeve portion. The sleeve portion includes a communicating hole. A dynamic pressure bearing is defined in a first gap between a shaft portion and the sleeve portion. An upper seal portion and a lower seal portion are arranged radially outward of the dynamic pressure bearing. The upper seal portion and the lower seal portion are arranged in communication with each other through the communicating hole. The communicating hole and a space extending from the upper seal portion to the lower seal portion through the first gap are filled with a lubricating oil. A fixing region where an outer tubular portion and a base portion are fixed to each other is arranged to overlap with the dynamic pressure bearing in a radial direction in plan view. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120033328 | SPINDLE MOTOR AND STORAGE DISK DRIVE - A spindle motor includes a stationary portion and a rotating portion. The stationary portion preferably includes a shaft portion, an upper thrust portion, and an outer tubular portion. The rotating portion preferably includes an inner tubular portion, a flange portion, an upper hub annular portion, and a lower hub annular portion. The flange portion includes a communicating hole. An upper surface of a lubricating oil is located in a fifth gap defined between an upper thrust portion and an upper hub annular portion, while a lower surface of the lubricating oil is located in a sixth gap defined between an outer tubular portion and a lower hub annular portion. The communicating hole and a space extending from the fifth gap to the sixth gap through a fourth gap, a first gap, a second gap, and a third gap are continuously filled with the lubricating oil. | 02-09-2012 |
