In cases where a radio communication is performed between a ground radio base station and a subscriber station, when a delay time J passes after the transmission of a radio wave from the ground radio base station to a stratospheric platform base station, another radio wave relating to the same information as that indicated by the radio wave is transmitted from the ground radio base station to the subscriber station. Therefore, in the subscriber station, a phase of the radio wave directly transmitted from the ground radio base station is synchronized with a phase of the radio wave transmitted from the ground radio base station through the stratospheric platform base station. Accordingly, the subscriber station can change over from one radio wave, of which the strength is weakened, to another radio wave.

A first shroud and a second shroud are opposed to the peripheral end surface of a recording disk at a certain constant distance. The second shroud is spaced downstream from the first shroud in the direction of the rotation of the recording disk. A shroud plate is opposed to the peripheral end surface of the recording disk at a position between the first and second shrouds. The shroud plate functions as a shroud. The shroud plate serves to suppress turbulence of airflow. Vibration of the recording disk can be suppressed. Moreover, if the shroud plate is designed to extend along a virtual plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the recording disk, the airflow is prevented from staying between the first and second shrouds. The airflow can effectively be taken out. The airflow can effectively be utilized.

A TSL lance has an outer shell of three substantially concentric lance pipes, at least one further lance pipe concentrically within the shell, and an annular end wall at an outlet end of the lance which joins ends of outermost and innermost lance pipes of the shell at an outlet end of the lance and is spaced from an outlet end of the intermediate lance pipe of the shell. Coolant fluid is able to be circulated through the shell, by flow to and away from the outlet end. The spacing between the end wall and the outlet end of the intermediate pipe provides a constriction to the flow of coolant fluid to increase coolant fluid flow velocity therebetween. The further lance pipe defines a central bore and is spaced from the innermost lance pipe of the shell to define an annular passage, whereby materials passing along the bore and the passage mix adjacent to the outlet end of the lance. The end wall and an adjacent minor part of the length of the shell comprise a replaceable lance tip assembly.

An impeller is provided. A recessed part (air flow direction changing means) 8b is provided on the side of a pressure surface 5 of the blade 8, and a protruded part 8a (air flow adhering means) is provided at a trailing edge part of the blade 8. An air flow passing the impeller 9 is converted into an axial direction by the recessed part 8b and separation of the negative surface side air flow is restricted by the protruded part 8a. Turbulence when the air flow on the negative surface side is confluent with the air flow on the pressure surface side can thus be restricted, thereby deterioration of blowing performance of the impeller and increase of blowing noise can be restricted.

First and second shroud surfaces are defined along an imaginary cylinder coaxial to a recording disk. A shroud plate is located between the first and second shroud surfaces. Airflow flows outward along the surface of the rotating recording disk based on the centrifugal force. The shroud plate serves to establish the continuity of the first and second shroud surfaces. The first and second shroud surfaces and the shroud plate serve to reliably suppress turbulence of the airflow. Vibration of the recording disk is suppressed than ever. An inflow opening is located in a space between the first and second shroud surfaces. The rectifier plate is located downstream of the inflow opening. The rectifier plate serves to direct the airflow flowing along the first shroud surface to the inflow opening. A larger amount of airflow can be introduced into the inflow opening. A dust catcher receives airflow of a sufficient amount.

The shape (vertically symmetric) of a flow guide 5A according to a conventional technology was modified into the shape (vertically asymmetric) of a flow guide 5 such that the length of a downstream flow guide portion 5d is greater than that of a upstream flow guide portion 5u. Numerical analyses were performed to find the optimum flow guide occupation ratio of the conventional technology and the corresponding total pressure loss coefficient. The obtained values were used as reference values. Further, the flow guide occupation ratio of the upstream flow guide portion 5u was set at 0.4 and the flow guide occupation ratio of the downstream flow guide portion 5d was set at 0.7; at values where the total pressure loss coefficient becomes lower than the reference value. The rectification effect of the flow guide can thus be enhanced.
