A disk device according to one embodiment includes magnetic disks, arms each with a first depression, suspensions, and first dampers. The magnetic disks are aligned along a first rotation axis. The arms are aligned along a second rotation axis. Each arm includes a first side surface, a second side surface with a slit, a first surface, a second surface, a first seating surface, and a second seating surface. The first depression is open to the first side surface and the first surface, and located closer to the first rotation axis than the slit. Each of the suspensions is supported by the first seating surface or the second seating surface and partially accommodated in the slit. Each of the first dampers is attached to each of the arms along the first depression.

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes: a liquid crystal panel; an input interface for inputting data of a first image; a backlight module; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an estimating unit configured to estimate brightness of light to be irradiated from the backlight module to the liquid crystal panel; a correcting unit configured to correct the first image to a second image based on the brightness estimated by the estimating unit, a contrast of the liquid crystal panel, and a target contrast so that a brightness error with respect to a display brightness in a case where the first image is displayed with the target contrast is suppressed; and a control unit configured to control transmittance of the liquid crystal panel based on data of the second image.

Liquid crystal display apparatus capable of changing backlight emission brightness

A printer apparatus including a printing-medium conveying unit conveying a printing medium, a sheet conveying unit conveying a thermal transfer sheet having an image protecting layer to be thermally transferred onto an image formed on the printing medium, a thermal head with heating elements linearly arranged in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the printing medium, and a control unit driving and controlling the thermal head. For selectively applying different amounts of thermal energy to the heating elements to form an uneven pattern on the image protecting layer thermally transferred onto the image on the printing medium, the control unit randomly divides a row of the heating elements into heating element groups each including at least two adjacent heating elements, applies the same amount of thermal energy to heating elements in the same heating element group, and applies different amounts of thermal energy to adjacent heating element groups.

Printer apparatus and laminating method

A photographic printing method includes the steps of thermally transferring a color material onto a recording medium; further transferring an image protection layer thermally onto the recording medium having the color material; and processing the surface of the image protection layer so as to satisfy following conditions (1) to (6),

A signal light from a variable wavelength light source and an excitation light from a variable wavelength light source are input to a fiber to be measured. At least either of the signal and the excitation lights is assigned a high power level such that a 4-wave mixing phenomenon is caused within the fiber to be measured. In this way, an FWM light occurs within the fiber to be measured. On a receiving side, the power levels of the FWM and the signal lights are measured, and the generation efficiency of the FWM light is calculated. Since the generation efficiency of the FWM light depends on the dispersion value of the fiber to be measured, the dispersion value is obtained from the generation efficiency of the FWM light by using this dependency. The measurement may be manually made by an operator, or be automatically made.

Wavelength dispersion measurement apparatus and a method thereof
