A forward direction line is set on a course, in a virtual game world, on which a player object is allowed to move. An advancing direction at a current position of the player object is determined based on the forward direction line. The advancing direction is determined as a direction in which the player object advances so as to control a movement of a player character in accordance with an acceleration instruction, and a leftward-rightward movement instruction from a player. Consequently, it is possible to assist the player in controlling a direction in which an object operated by the player moves.

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

A method for manufacturing a magnetic film includes preparing a foundation layer containing a noble metal element and a base metal element, and depositing a plated layer of a magnetic material on the foundation layer by pulse plating.

Method for manufacturing magnetic film and magnetic film

The present invention relates to a perpendicular recording magnetic head. A perpendicular recording element includes a main magnetic pole film for emitting a perpendicular magnetic field and is supported by a slider. The main magnetic pole film includes an electrode film and a plated film, the electrode film is an alloy film of at least one element selected from the platinum group and Ni, and the plated film is a magnetic film grown on the electrode film.

A thin film magnetic head has a plurality of electrode terminals formed on substantially the same surface as the head formation surface on which magnetic head element is laminated. The plurality of electrode terminals is arranged in an array near and along the second side of the head formation surface that is opposite the first side on the ABS side, from which the functional end of the magnetic head is exposed. The plurality of electrode terminals is formed to include a pad and a protrusion formed along a part of the periphery of the pad.

The present invention relates to a perpendicular recording magnetic head. A main magnetic pole film includes an electrode film and a plated magnetic film. The electrode film includes a Ru film and a conductive magnetic film, and the Ru film, which follows the shape of an inner wall surface of a recess formed in a first non-magnetic film, is adhered to the inner wall surface of the recess or a surface of a second non-magnetic film adhered thereto. The conductive magnetic film is adhered to a surface of the Ru film, thereby following the shape of the inner wall surface of the recess. The plated magnetic film is disposed adjacent the conductive magnetic film, thereby filling up the recess.

A recording element supported by a slider includes a non-magnetic film and a magnetic pole film. The non-magnetic film has a depression whose inner surface is provided with an amorphous electrode film used as a plating seed film. Above the electrode film, the magnetic pole film is grown by plating. The magnetic pole film may be either an electroplated film grown on the electrode film to have a maximum crystal grain size of 20 nm or less or an electroless plated film. This decreases coercive force of the magnetic pole film.

A method of plating, which allows compositions of plating patterns of a plurality of layers to be uniform without any operational complexity, is provided. The area of the plating layer electrodeposited including plating patterns is constant in each of the plurality of layers. Accordingly, a value of plating-current density is easily maintained constant without any special operation. Consequently, the plating patterns in each of the plurality of layers is easily formed to have an uniform composition.

Method of plating and method of manufacturing a micro device

The present invention relates to a perpendicular recording magnetic head. A main magnetic pole film of a perpendicular recording element is a plated film formed on an electrode film and having a small width portion and a large width portion. The small width portion is a portion for emitting a perpendicular magnetic field from a front end thereof, while the large width portion is portion being continuous with a rear end of the small width portion and having an increased width. The electrode film is different in film thickness between beneath a portion of the plated film forming at least the front end of the small width portion and beneath a portion of the plated film forming the large width portion.
