English to French: Complex floating magnetic head / Tête magnétique flottante complexe
Source text - English Patent Claims A complex floating magnetic head which is characterized by the floating of a magnetic recording media to reproduce recordings; and by a core chip that is inlayed into the complex floating magnetic head, located inside a slider made of ceramics, whereby an arc with curvature radius of at least 100 m is contained on the float surface of the air flow tip of the above-mentioned slider. Detailed Explanation of Patent (Industrial field of use) This invention is related to floating magnetic heads which are utilized in fixed magnetic disk devices. (Prior technology) The shape of the slider in prior floating magnetic heads, as offered in Patent number Sho 00-000000, contained a bevel of at least 20 degrees in the air flow tip, in order to reduce rubber adhesion, or to prevent breakage of the slider. (Problems to be solved by this invention) However, when using thin film recording media with small magnetic strength, or when the float quantity of the floating magnetic head becomes lower under the prior technology described above, there is a physical deterioration of the magnetic head and recording media, as well as a problem called head crash. These problems occur during repetitions of CSS (Contact Start Stop), during which the magnetic head contacts the disk, causing the disk to run or halt.	Translation - French Revendications du brevet Tête magnétique flottante complexe caractérisée par le flottement d’un support d’enregistrement magnétique pour lire des enregistrements, et par une puce de noyau incrustée dans la tête magnétique flottante complexe, située à l’intérieur d’un dispositif coulissant en céramique, la surface de flottement de la pointe d’écoulement d’air dudit dispositif coulissant comprenant un arc ayant un rayon de courbure d'au moins 100 m. Description détaillée du brevet (Domaine industriel d’utilisation) La présente invention concerne des têtes magnétiques flottantes utilisées dans des dispositifs fixes à disques magnétiques. (Technique antérieure) La forme du dispositif coulissant des têtes magnétiques flottantes de la technique antérieure, telles que celles proposées dans le brevet japonais numéro Sho 00-000000, incluait un biseau d’au moins 20 degrés sur la pointe d’écoulement d’air, afin de réduire l’adhésion de caoutchouc ou d’empêcher la rupture du dispositif coulissant. (Problèmes à résoudre par la présente invention) Toutefois, lors de l’utilisation d’un support d’enregistrement à film mince ayant une faible résistance magnétique ou lorsque la quantité de flottement de la tête magnétique flottante diminue dans le cadre de la technique antérieure décrite précédemment, il apparaît une détérioration physique de la tête magnétique et du support d’enregistrement ainsi qu’un problème dénommé écrasement de la tête. Ces problèmes surviennent lors d’opérations répétées de mise en contact/hors contact, durant lesquelles la tête magnétique est en contact avec le disque, provoquant la rotation ou l’arrêt du disque.
Spanish to French: Protocolo X / Protocole X
Source text - Spanish La comunicación entre el cliente y el servidor se realiza usando cuatro clases de mensajes formateados que constituyen el protocolo X: request, reply, event, y error. Estos mensajes son procesados por las llamadas a la Xlib, por lo que el programador no necesita usar el protocolo X directamente. Un request es un mensaje de petición de servicio del cliente al servidor. Si necesita una respuesta (reply), el cliente espera la contestación del servidor, sino continua su tarea. Un reply lo envía el servidor al cliente como respuesta a una petición de un cliente. El cliente permanece a la espera hasta que llega el reply. Es el único mensaje síncrono del protocolo. Un event es un mensaje asíncrono que envía el servidor al cliente cuando ocurre un suceso en la estación de trabajo que el servidor gestiona. Un error lo envía el servidor al cliente cuando detecta una situación de error.	Translation - French La communication entre le client et le serveur est effectuée à l’aide de quatre classes de messages formatés qui constituent le protocole X : request, reply, event et error. Ces messages sont traités par les appels à la Xlib, en conséquence de quoi le programmateur n’est pas obligé d’utiliser directement le protocole X. Un message request représente une demande de service du client au serveur. Si une réponse (reply) est exigée, le client attend celle du serveur ; sinon, il poursuit sa tâche. Un message reply est envoyé par le serveur au client en réponse à la demande de ce dernier. Le client reste en attente jusqu’à réception du message reply. Il s’agit du seul message synchrone du protocole. Un message event est un message asynchrone envoyé par le serveur au client lorsqu’un événement se produit sur le poste de travail géré par le serveur. Enfin, un message error est envoyé au client par le serveur lorsque ce dernier détecte une situation d’erreur.
