Disclosed is an agent for skin external preparation which is hardly reduced in viscosity even when stored for a long period under extreme high temperature storage conditions and is therefore stable. The preparation is in an emulsion form, and comprises (1) an alginic acid polyol ester having an esterification degree ranging from 75 to 95% (e.g., alginic acid propylene glycol ester) and/or a salt thereof; (2) a polyvalent metal ion (e.g., a calcium ion); and (3) a 4-alkylresolcinol (e.g., 4-n-butylresolcinol) and/or a salt thereof.

Skin external preparation having excellent stability

Provided is a manufacturing method for a non-contact communication medium, including: forming in a first region a first structure including an IC chip mounted on the first region, a first adhesive in an uncured state, which is applied on the IC chip, and a first plate member placed on the first adhesive; forming in a second region a second structure including a second adhesive in an uncured state, which is applied on the second region, and a second plate member placed on the second adhesive; sandwiching the first region and the second region by a first partition wall capable of partitioning the first region and accommodating the first structure and a second partition wall capable of partitioning the second region and accommodating the second structure; and heating the first partition wall and the second partition wall, to thereby thermally cure the first adhesive and the second adhesive, respectively.

According to one embodiment, a disk drive has a DTM type disk. The DTM type disk has a servo area on one recording surface. In the servo area, a servo pattern is recorded. The servo pattern is composed of a projection-depression pattern and an N- and P-pole magnetic pattern. The N- and P-pole magnetic pattern is recorded in an address-data region that contains a cylinder code.

Disk drive having a disk of discrete-track media type

According to one embodiment, disclosed herein is a disk drive that has a disk of discrete-track media (DTM) type. The DTM disk has servo regions. Each servo region has dividing grooves and non-servo data parts. Each dividing grooves extends along the centerline of any projecting region having a width larger than a prescribed value. Each non-servo data part suppresses reproduction noise. The disk drive has a read/write channel that includes a reproduced-signal processing unit. This unit reproduces servo data from each servo region.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a disk drive that can perform dynamic offset control (DOC). The disk drive has a magnetic head, a disk, and offset calculating modules. The magnetic head has read head. Offset-measuring position data is written in a non-servo area provided in the disk. The read head reads the offset-measuring position data from the disk. Based on the offset-measuring position data thus read, the offset calculating modules calculate an offset value that changes during a one-rotation period of the disk.

According to one embodiment, a disk drive is provided which corrects already existing offset information according to a variation of a disk runout amount caused by an occurrence of a disk shift. The disk drive effects a head position adjustment at a head positioning control time with the use of offset information stored in a memory. A CPU measures a variation in the disk runout amount and phase caused by an occurrence of a disk shift resulting from an external shock involved and updates the existing offset information with a correction offset information based on a result of measurement.
