Embodiments of the present invention help to reduce damage of a head element portion or a magnetic disk in a procedure for specifying a heater power value for adjusting a clearance between the head element portion and the magnetic disk. In an embodiment of the present invention, an HDC/MPU sequentially performs data writing and reading while increasing heater power. The HDC/MPU further determines whether or not a head slider has retrieved the data properly. When the data cannot be retrieved properly, the HDC/MPU specifies a heater power value in a normal operation based on the heater power value at which the data could not be retrieved properly.

Method for specifying control value for controlling clearance adjustment amount between head and disk, disk drive device and manufacturing method thereof

A dead-end type filtration system wherein a bulk (or bulk suspension) comprising a fluid containing suspended matters is filtered through a micro-filter membrane to separate the fluid form the suspended matters, back wash is periodically carried out under such conditions that pressure on the transmitted fluid side of the filter membrane is higher than pressure on the bulk side thereof, and back wash liquid together with the suspended matters desorbed form the liter membrane is discharged from the filtration system to the outside, characterized by that said filter membrane has an anisotropic structure where the pore diameters of the filter membrane are changed continuously or discontinuously in the thickness direction of the filter membrane, and the pore diameters on one side of the filter membrane are different from those on other side thereof.

Filtration system

A plate-type filter cartridge includes a plurality of stacked filtration units; each filtration unit having inner and outer rims, two filtration membranes bonded to opposite sides of the two rims, and a pair of netty members formed of fibrous material contacting a porous support and membranes. The support supports the membrane and is disposed between the membranes; the support being defined by a plurality of spokes and an outer rim.

Plate-type filter cartridge with internal support

A filter cartridge for removing particles of the order of submicrons from a solution, comprising at least two filtering films laid in parallel with the inner peripheral portions bonded fixedly to an inner rim of the core and with the outer peripheral portions joined together, thus defining a path of a solution to be filtered, and providing a relatively large effective filtering area.
