Abstract:
Monochrome and color television recording and playback circuitry for coupling of a video magnetic transducer head with a standard broadcast television receiver, the circuitry including a coupling capacitor and means for supplying electric charge to one terminal of the capaictor, a record-playback switch connected between the other terminal of the capacitor and one terminal of the head winding, and a resistor for maintaining the other terminal of the capacitor substantially at ground potential while the switch is in playback position to prevent surges of current through the head winding during switching.
Abstract:
A longitudinal scan transducing apparatus for use with a television receiver comprising a magnetic transducer head having transverse conductors for supplying high frequency bias, tape transport features including a damping pad acting on the tape adjacent the head for damping high frequency vibration at the head, head shifting and tape reversal features, and television set adapter circuitry for supplying a wide-band video signal and for stabilizing reproduced sync signals.
Abstract:
A passive mapping system employs an antenna or other sensing means having a receiving beam pattern which is scanned in azimuth while moving along a path relative to the area to be mapped. The received signal, after detection and other processing, is recorded on a moving record medium in such a manner that each emitting element in the mapped area generates a straight line of a certain intensity or contrast on the record medium with a slope corresponding to the emitting element range, and the position along the medium corresponding to the location of the antenna along the path. Subsequently, the record medium is processed to collapse or integrate each straight signal line into a point on a further record medium to produce a radiometric plan view map of the area.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for forming materials into desired shapes by rolling or casting. The rolled shapes may be of constant or irregular cross section. The apparatus includes lateral restraint members that move with the workpiece to prevent edge cracking in rolling or provide a moving wall die in casting.
Abstract:
In the disclosed embodiments the video signal is recorded on successive longitudinal tracks with high frequency bias. The sound may be recorded transversely on adjacent tracks or may be recorded with the video as pulse modulation in the horizontal blanking intervals. The video bias frequency is selected so as to avoid beat notes with the video signal. The horizontal and vertical sync signals may be amplified separate from the composite video and then added thereto so as to record sync signals of increased amplitude. The picture signal from a television receiver may be recorded without further amplification.
Abstract:
A magnetic tape apparatus wherein a capstan drive assembly provides a tape path thereabout and receives a transducer head with a convex face for scanning engagement with the tape. A magnetic shield may be interposed between the capstan and the head where the capstan is of magnetizable steel. The motor, flywheel and capstan form a unitary assembly which preferably includes a bearing for the outer end of the capstan. A endless loop or reel-to-reel tape cartridge configuration may be engaged with the capstan assembly without manual threading. Idler rollers for the capstan are of configuration to tension the tape at the transducer head location, and may be interchanged to tension the tape in either direction of movement. A preferred head is operable with bias of 10 megahertz or more.

MONOCHROME AND COLOR TELEVISION RECORDING AND PLAYBACK CIRCUITRY FOR COUPLING OF A VIDEO MAGNETIC TRANSDUCER HEAD WITH A STANDARD BROADCAST TELEVISION RECIEVER. HIGH FREQUENCY BIAS HAVING A FREQUENCY OR LESS THAN 4.4 MEGAHERTZ, AND A SPECIAL HEAD CONFIGURATIONS OF SHEET MAGNETIC MATERIAL HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED CROSS SECTIONAL PERIMETER FOR EDDY CURRENTS ACCOMODATING BIAS FREQUENCIES UP TO TEN MEGAHERTZ.
Abstract:
A magnetic transducer head having a coupling gap of controllable effective longitudinal dimension. In one embodiment a gap spacer of magnetic material is energized by bias current and/or signal current during recording while being deenergized during playback to provide a larger coupling gap for recording than for playback. Recording gap size may be controlled dynamically, or a very high frequency bias current such as 100 mhz may be supplied to the magnetic gap spacer. A magnetic head may have a zero gap dimension when the magnetic gap spacer is deenergized to prevent any substantial residual external field. An electro-magnetic transducer head with the electric circuit portion including a path through the electrically conductive magnetic corepiece at the transducer gap, thus concentrating the gap field and mininizing core losses at very high bias or signal frequencies.

Abstract:
To provide a compact ozone generator, films of polymeric material are employed as dielectrics in combination with flat, planar electrodes to produce ozone by silient electrical discharge in an oxygen containing gas stream. The electrodes and dielectrics are cooled by the gas stream which is recycled across the electrodes and dielectrics and through an external heat exchanger.
