A propylene resin molded product which is a propylene resin molded product obtained by molding such a propylene resin composition and which has a volume resistivity of from 10to 10&#x3a9;&#xb7;cm and a MFR of from 1 to 80 g/10 min.

Propylene resin composition and molding thereof

To provide carbon black which improves the electrical conductivity and flowability of a resin composition. Carbon black characterized by having the following characteristics: More preferably, it has the following characteristics:

Carbon black

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from a recording medium includes a recording and/or reproducing portion for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from the recording medium, a carrying portion for carrying the recording medium, and first and second sliders. The first slider is movable in one direction for moving the carrying portion together with the recording medium up to a specific withdrawal position. The second slider is movable in a direction being substantially the same as the one direction for moving the recording medium carried by the carrying portion to a recording and/or reproducing position corresponding to a position of the recording and/or reproducing portion. The first slider and the second slider are overlapped to each other in the vertical direction.

Magneto optical disc drive having insertion restricting and locking portions

Recording and/or reproducing apparatus and recording medium cartridge holder

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from a recording medium includes a recording and/or reproducing portion for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from the recording medium, a carrying portion for carrying the recording medium, and first and second sliders. The first slider is movable in one direction for moving the carrying portion together with the recording medium up to a specific withdrawal position. The second slider is movable in a direction being substantially the same as the one direction of the first slider for moving the recording medium carried by the carrying portion to a recording and/or reproducing position corresponding to a position of the recording and/or reproducing portion. The first slider and the second slider are overlapped relative to each other in the vertical direction.

Magneto-optical disk drive having first and second movable sliders

A disk centering apparatus includes a disk table member and a movable member. An inner circumferential portion of the disk table member is secured to an upper portion of a motor shaft. An outer circumferential portion of a greater diameter is disposed lower than an upper surface of and concentrically with the inner circumferential portion and has an upper surface for receiving a disk thereon. Connecting portions extend radially outwardly from the inner circumferential portion. The movable member includes a supported shaft portion mounted for sliding movement on the motor shaft and disposed lower than the disk table member. A guiding portion is provided adjacent an outer surface side of the supported shaft portion and includes a guiding inclined portion formed at an upper portion thereof and a diameter greater than the inner circumference portion. The movable member is biased upwardly in a direction of the motor shaft.

Disk centering apparatus

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a magneto optical recording medium housed within a disc cartridge includes a casing, a recording and/or reproducing unit, a transporting unit and a driving unit. The casing includes an opening for introducing and ejecting the disc cartridge. The recording and/or reproducing unit includes a magnetic head for applying a perpendicular magnetic field on the magneto-optical recording medium and is housed within the casing. The transporting unit loads the disc cartridge inserted via the opening on the recording and/or reproducing unit. The transporting unit includes a holding section for holding the inserted disc cartridge and a pair of cam members for moving the holding section in the horizontal direction in the casing and in the vertical direction in the casing in continuation to the movement in the horizontal direction. The driving unit causes the cam members to be moved in the horizontal direction in the casing. The cam members are moved in a first direction as a result of insertion of the disc cartridge and set the driving unit into operating states as a result of insertion of the disc cartridge. The cam members cause the holding section to be moved in the horizontal direction by a movement of the cam members in a second horizontal direction consecutive to the movement in the first horizontal direction by the driving unit. The cam members cause the holding section to be loaded on the recording and/or reproducing unit by a movement of the cam members in a third horizontal direction consecutive to the movement in the second horizontal direction by the driving unit.

Disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus

A carbon black having an average particle size of at most 13 nm, D of at most 80 nm, a D /D ratio of at most 0.6 and at least pH 5.

Carbon black and process for producing the same

The present invention relates to a carbon black and a process for producing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a coloring carbon black having both high blackness and excellent dispersibility, and to a process for producing the same.

Carbon black and the process for producing the same

A loading unit for a disc cartridge includes a cartridge holder movably supported relative to a chassis. The cartridge holder is moved towards a recording and/or reproducing device for recording and/or reproducing information signals on or from a recording medium housed within the disc cartridge. The cartridge holder is configured to hold the disc cartridge inserted therein and has an engaging recess and an insertion detector. The insertion detector is moved in response to the disc cartridge being inserted into the cartridge holder. A stop mounted on the cartridge holder has a retention portion for retention by the chassis and an engaging protrusion for engagement with the engaging recess of the disc cartridge. The stop is slidingly contacted with the chassis in conjunction with movement of the cartridge holder towards the recording and/or reproducing device. The stop is inhibited from movement by the insertion detector when a disc cartridge is not inserted into the cartridge holder and the retention portion is engaged by the chassis. The stop is released from inhibition of movement when the disc cartridge is inserted into the cartridge holder and the insertion detector is moved, thereby disengaging the retention portion from the chassis, whereby the stop engages the engaging protrusion with the engaging recess in the disc cartridge.

Loading mechanism for a disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus

A carbon black having a D1/2/Dmod ratio of at most 0.53.
