Mobile objects and resources are managed by a system including a mobile object server operable to receive information from a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, and an event server in communication with the mobile object server. The event server is operable to receive, from the mobile object server, resource utilization information indicating a resource in the geographic space that each mobile object is scheduled to use, calculate a state of use of the resource based on a predicted arrival time of each mobile object at the resource, and send a recommendation for relaxing congestion of the resource.

To avoid congestion and ease traffic jams of mobile objects while managing movement of a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, provided is a system including a mobile object server operable to assist with movement of a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space; and a priority control module operable to perform priority movement control that causes a mobile object having high priority to be prioritized over and progress ahead of a mobile object having low priority, based on priorities assigned to each of a plurality of mobile objects. Also provided are a method and program.

Management of mobile objects

Evacuation of mobile objects is managed by a system including a processor; and one or more computer readable mediums collectively including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive information of occurrence of a disaster, obtain information of a plurality of evacuation areas, obtain a plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a mobile object among a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, distribute the plurality of mobile objects into the plurality of evacuation areas according to a distribution based on the information of the plurality of evacuation areas and the plurality of locations.

A method of assembling a head gimbal assembly. The method comprises a series of steps which include: stacking a base plate, a load beam, and a flexure to form a three-layered stacked series with at least a bottom layer being a base plate series; joining portions of the load beam to the base plate, and the flexure to the load beam in the three-layered stacked series to make a suspension section; attaching a slider to the flexure in the suspension section to make a head gimbal assembly; load-bending a hinge portion formed in the head gimbal assembly; and heating the hinge portion in order to adjust a bending load on the hinge portion at a predetermined bending angle to a predetermined value.

Method of assembling a head gimbal assembly

A base plate and load beam for an HG assembly are formed in series, stacked, and transferred by a transfer system in the form of the stacked-layer series to undergo the necessary assembly processes such as layer joining, slider attachment, and electrical connections between the terminals thereon. When uncompleted HG assemblies are transferred for each of the manufacturing processes, the uncompleted HG assembly is mounted on the assembly jig such as a tray or a block for transference. For this reason, assembling jigs, the number of which is at least equal to the number of the uncompleted HG assemblies remaining at the respective assembly processes would be needed. Accordingly, the efficiency of work space is reduced, and a rise in manufacturing cost is brought about by the need for the assembling jigs.

Transfer system for assembling a head gimbal assembly

A base plate and load beam for an HG assembly are formed in series, stacked, and transferred by a transfer system in the form of the stacked-layer series to undergo the necessary assembly processes such as layer joining, slider attachment, and electrical connections between the terminals thereon. The base plate structure comprises a band portion having conveying holes and positioning holes formed at a predetermined pith respectively in a longitudinal direction. A plurality of the base plates are disposed via connecting portions integrally formed at a predetermined pitch at edges on one side of the band portion.

Apertures are formed in the portion of a flexure adjacent to the soldered portions between the bonding pads of the slider and the lead pads of lead end portions. With this, an adhesive agent for bonding the slider to a flexure tongue is moved downward from the apertures so there is no fear that the adhesive agent will contact the lead pads and the bonding pads. This design prevents the protrusion of an adhesive agent from short-circuiting the flexure, and absorbs a warp produced by shrinkage of a soldered portion by decreasing rigidity of the flexure. When both the bonding pad formed on the slider and the lead pad of a lead fixed to the platform of the flexure are disposed and soldered, the quality of the soldered portion is improved by locating the pads as close to each other as possible.

Hard disk drive with slider support structure and head gimbal assembly

A head support arm of a disk drive device comprises; a front portion supporting a head/slider assembly, a rear portion pivotally mounted on a frame of the disk drive device, a bending portion between the front portion and the rear portion, a plurality of electrically conductive wires covered by a tube, and a first fixing position and a second fixing position symmetrically located on both sides of a center line of the head support arm at positions between the bending portion and the front portion, characterized in that the tube is attached to the head support arm between the bending portion and the rear portion, the plurality of electrically conductive wires extending from a front end of the tube on the side of the front portion of the head support arm extend over the bending portion and are divided into a first group and a second group, the first group of wires is fixed to the second fixing position.

A multifunctional bag device according to this invention can be used not only as an ordinary bag, but also to provide a variety of functions by itself or with a sheet and hood contained in the bag. The multifunctional bag device of this invention includes a bag 1 consisting of right and left bag members 1a, 1b that is designed to contain appropriate things in it, a single sheet 2 which is contained in the bag 1 in a folded state, and a hood 3 formed so that it can be loaded on the upper portion of the sheet via fasteners. The bag 1 has handles 6 at the top, and edges of the right and left bag members are connected to each other at the bottom 4, and with a fastener 5 or other opening/closing device which allows the right and left bag members to be unfolded. The sheet 2 is equipped with a fastener 7 or other opening/closing device at peripheral edges to allow a bag 8 to be formed by folding the single sheet in half. With this configuration, the multifunctional bag 1 is a novel bag that can be used not only as an ordinary bag, but also as a pair of seats, a cushion, a lap robe, a sleeping bag, and a hooded poncho.
