An inspection device for hydraulic equipment includes a hydraulic circuit having a branch valve, an optical detection section, a pump configured to supply oil to the hydraulic circuit, and a controller. The optical detection section includes an inspection oil passage connected to the branch valve. The inspection oil passage includes a filter arranged to collect foreign matter. The controller operates the branch valve to supply oil to the inspection oil passage. The optical detection section includes first and second foreign matter detection sections arranged on upstream and downstream sides of the filter to detect foreign matter. A work vehicle includes the inspection device. An inspection system includes the inspection device. An inspection method includes supplying oil to an inspection oil passage by operating a branch valve of a hydraulic circuit, and detecting foreign matter on upstream and downstream sides of a filter arranged on the inspection oil passage.

To provide a gaming table apparatus capable of suppressing the prevention of progress of a game. The gaming table apparatus includes bet units on which gaming media betted by players are placed, a reading unit reading monetary values of the gaming media placed on the bet units, a card shoe in which cards used for a game are accommodated in a drawable manner, a detecting device detecting identification information of the cards taken from the card shoe and outputs the detected identification information, a controller managing the destination to which the game proceeds, a display displaying information about the destination to which the game proceeds managed by the controller, and a memory in which the information displayed on the display is stored, in which the controller determines the destination to which the game proceeds when the monetary values of the gaming medium betted on the bet unit change.

Gaming table apparatus

A game controller downloads a chip database at a predetermined timing from a server and stores the chip database as offline data in a storage unit, determines whether communication with the server is possible, when a chip communication unit accesses a game chip, and authenticates the game chip with reference to a offline data table when the communication is impossible.

Game controller

The progress of a game while a change in gaming media placed in a betting area of a gaming table is left uncollected is prevented. A gaming table system includes a gaming table including a betting area in which gaming media are placed and an antenna member configured to read a value of the gaming media placed in the betting area by wireless communication and a control unit configured to execute a scanning process of obtaining the total value of the gaming media in the betting area by controlling the antenna member. The control unit fixes a first bet amount by executing the scanning process at a timing to fix the bet and fixes a second bet amount by executing the scanning process again at a predetermined timing, and the control unit repeats the scanning process until these amounts become identical.

A trailing shield is provided on a trailing side of a magnetic pole with a non-magnetic gap layer in between, and an intermediate layer having negative uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy is provided between the non-magnetic gap layer and the trailing shield. The intermediate layer has a magnetic property in which an easy axis of magnetization is provided in an in-plane direction and thus magnetization is likely to occur in that direction, whereas a difficult axis of magnetization is provided in a direction intersecting the in-plane direction and thus magnetization is less likely to occur in that direction. Accordingly, magnetic flux becomes difficult to excessively flow from the magnetic pole into the trailing shield.

Perpendicular magnetic write head and magnetic recording device

A multilayer film includes a magnetic film and a non-magnetic film. The magnetic film and the non-magnetic film are alternately stacked. The magnetic film contains Fe, Ni and P but has Fe or Ni as a main component. The non-magnetic film contains Fe, Ni and P but has Ni as a main component.

A write shield includes first and second shield portions located on opposite sides of a main pole in a track width direction. A return path section includes first and second yoke portions located on opposite sides of the main pole in the track width direction. A coil surrounds at least part of the entire outer periphery of the main pole when viewed from a medium facing surface. The coil includes a first magnetic portion located in a first space between the main pole and the first yoke portion, and a second magnetic portion located in a second space between the main pole and the second yoke portion. The first and second magnetic portions are made of a magnetic conductive material.

Magnetic head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write shield

A magnetic pole of a magnetic head includes a narrow and a wide portion, and is formed of a plating film. An electrode film forms the plating film, and is provided only under at least a part of the wide portion. A manufacturing method for the magnetic head includes: forming a plating-film-accommodating layer with an accommodating groove; forming the electrode film in part of the accommodating groove; and forming the plating film in the accommodating groove by plating using the electrode film. The accommodating groove includes a narrow and a wide groove portion for accommodating the narrow and wide portions, respectively. The electrode film is provided only in at least a part of the wide groove portion. In the step of forming the plating film, the plating film grows from the surface of the electrode film, and the narrow groove portion is filled with a part of the plating film.

Thin-film magnetic head having a magnetic pole formed of a plating film

A perpendicular magnetic write head is provided with a magnetic pole and a pair of side shields disposed on both sides of the magnetic pole in a cross track direction with side gaps in between. Each of the pair of side shields is configured in such a manner that a saturation magnetic flux density thereof increases as a distance from the magnetic pole in the cross track direction increases. Such a configuration allows unwanted divergence component of magnetic flux in a recording magnetic field to be captured while avoiding any excessive capturing of the recording magnetic field, and while preventing any intensity reduction of the recording magnetic field in its entirety. As a result, the recording magnetic field is maintained to have an adequate intensity and spreading of the recording magnetic field is suppressed, so that the recording capabilities are improved.
