The invention is directed to arrangements of tapered data storage tape guides which can improve the guiding of data storage tape. Tapered data storage tape guides having specific sizes relative to the data storage tape are also disclosed. The tapered data storage tape guides and arrangements of tapered guides can improve the ability to properly guide the data storage tape, e.g., during media fabrication, servo recording or readout, data recording or data readout. In one embodiment, a data storage tape guiding system may include a first tapered guide and a second tapered guide. The taper in the first guide can be opposite the taper in the second guide such that the data storage tape is forced against an upper flange of the first guide and forced against a lower flange of the second guide, or vice versa.

A CHMSL (16) or other lighting system feature of an automobile (10) includes a feature for presenting personal expressions in the form of words or symbols but is automatically deactivated when the regular vehicle lighting system is in use. The personal expression is fixed in a tangible medium by way of phosphor-coated indicia (34) placed within a UV impervious housing (18). A secondary UV light source (36) selectively energizes the phosphor-coated indicia (34) so that the irradiated material glows and is visible through a light transmissive screen (20). The light transmissive screen (20) is provided with a UV blocking agent so that harmful UV rays do not escape the housing (18). The phosphor-coated indicia (34) can be mounted on a removable transparent plate (30), on light dispersion optics (24, 26), or on the inner face of the light transmissive screen (20). A control circuit (42″) manages the primary light source (22) and the secondary UV light source (36) so that only one of the light sources can be energized at any one time.

A tire comprising two sidewalls, beads, a reinforcement structure extending radially from each of the beads towards the crown zone, at least one of said beads comprising: a bead seat of inverted type; an anchoring zone for the reinforcement structure in said bead, comprising an arrangement of circumferential cords, a bonding mix being arranged between the circumferential cords and the reinforcement structure, said bonding mix of the anchoring zone having a elasticity modulus at a deformation of 10% of less than 20 MPa and preferably between 10 and 20 MPa; an axially outer zone arranged in the zone of the bead; a bearing zone for said bead. The anchoring rubber mix makes it possible, in spite of its rigidity which is very much less than what was advocated previously, to retain very satisfactory endurance properties.

A fishing jig system with an interchangeable jig head is disclosed for permitting a variety of jig heads with different configurations and functions to be used with a single jig hook and avoid having to remove the jig hook from a fishing line to reconfigure the fishing jig. The jig system includes a hook having a shank portion and an eye portion, with the shank portion and the eye portion meeting at a juncture. A modular mounting member is mounted on the hook at the juncture for removably receiving a fishing accessory. A fishing accessory, such as a jig head, is removably mounted on the modular mounting member, and the fishing accessory has a recess formed therein for slidably receiving at least a portion of the modular mounting member such that the accessory may be removed and replaced without removing the jig hook from the fishing line.

In general, the invention provides a magnetic head device and linear tape drive that widen the high frequency side of the servo range. In particular, the invention provides a magnetic head device comprising a magnetic head chip with multiple magnetic elements arranged for recording or playback of multiple tracks and a fine positioning structure that uses a bimodal construction that may widen the high frequency side of the servo range by increasing the resonant frequency of the magnetic head chip including the tracking structure and lowering the Q value of the resonance point. In addition, the invention includes a damping structure suitable for the fine positioning structure that improves high speed response by widening the range in which the magnetic head device can be used for a servo. The magnetic head device may use a linear tape drive method.

An improved flat cymbal is formed from a flat sheet of stainless metal by laser cutting it into a selected form, such as a Maltese Cross having four arms with spaces between the arms. An opening is formed in each of the four arms. The cymbal will produce a distinctive sound that may be modified or tuned by changing the size of the openings or inserting jingles, rivets, sizzlers or shrapnel in the openings in the arms.

Method and apparatus for guiding a moving tape having a tape edge parallel to a direction of motion of the tape wherein the tape is received tangentially on a curved surface having an edge. Force applied to the tape is increased as the tape drifts farther away from a nominal position so as to move the tape away from the edge of the surface. Lateral motion of the tape is dampened by breaking up an air-cushion between the tape and the curved surface.
