Abstract:
In high frequency magnetic assisted recording technique, a spin torque oscillator that stably oscillates at a low current and a magnetic recording head with high recording density are provided. In a magnetic recording head including an oscillator that generates a high frequency magnetic field, a spin injection layer structure of two laminated magnetic layers which are coupled to be anti-parallel is adopted. A product Ms×t of the saturated magnetization Ms and the film thickness t of the first magnetic layer close to a field generation layer is smaller than a product Ms×t of the second magnetic layer remote from the field generation layer.
Abstract:
The strength of a magnetic field applied from a main pole to an oscillator and the strength of a magnetic field applied from the main pole to a recording medium are improved in a magnetic recording head for microwave assisted recording.In the magnetic recording head according to the present invention, an interval between the main pole and a trailing shield at a place in a position above an air bearing surface is larger than an interval between the main pole and the trailing shield on the air bearing surface.
Abstract:
A spin-valve type magnetic head which has sufficiently high output is provided. In one embodiment, a structure in which high output coexists with high stability is achieved by letting a GMR-effect and a current-path-confinement effect manifest themselves at the same time in a GMR-screen layer consisting of a ferromagnetic metal spike-like part and a half-covering oxide layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a practical magneto-resistive effect element for CPP-GMR, which exhibits appropriate resistance-area-product and high magnetoresistance change ratio, and meets the demand for a narrow read gap. Certain embodiments of a magneto-resistive effect element in accordance with the present invention include a pinned ferromagnetic layer containing a first ferromagnetic film having a magnetization direction fixed in one direction, a free ferromagnetic layer containing a second ferromagnetic film having a magnetization direction varying in response to an external magnetic field, an intermediate layer provided between the pinned ferromagnetic layer and the free ferromagnetic layer, and a current confinement layer for confining a current. At least one of the pinned ferromagnetic layer or the free ferromagnetic layer includes a highly spin polarized layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provides sufficiently high exchange coupling with a magnetic layer and improve the yield and reliability of a magnetoresistive head. By using a tilted growth crystalline structured antiferromagnetic film manufactured by an oblique incident deposition method, a high exchange coupling field with a ferromagnetic film can be obtained. As a result, excellent reliability and high output can be obtained in a magnetoresistive head utilizing features in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
Abstract:
An automatic label winding and charging device is provided for use with a portable label applying system in which labels temporarily adhered in series to a web of backing paper are printed with bar codes or the like by the action of a printer. The label web having printed labels is fed to a take-up cassette that is removably mounted in the printer, being removable therefrom for insertion in a dispenser for applying the printed labels to commodities. The automatic label winding and charging device comprises a cassette guide member for guiding the cassette when the latter is to be mounted in the printer. Pressure releasing means is provided for releasing the label web so that it may be freely advanced. In order to ensure the smooth guidance of the label web, an arcuate guide groove is provided for guiding the printed label web therethrough to the cassette. A cutter is provided to sever this printed label web at a suitable position thereof.
Abstract:
An automatic label winding and charging device is part of a system used for printing and applying labels that are temporarily adhered in series to a web of backing paper. The system includes a bar code printer which feeds a printed label web to a cassette and the latter is then insertable into a label applicator so that the printed labels can be dispensed and applied to commodities. The automatic label winding and charging device includes cassette mounting means for mounting the cassette in the printer to receive a printed label web produced by the latter. The printed label web is guided in the printer by guide means disposed adjacent to the cassette mounting means. The cassette is equipped with winding means for winding the printed label web being fed from the printer. Means are included to prevent peeling of printed labels from the printed label web during loading of the cassette.
Abstract:
A portable label printing and applying machine: a platen to support the label to be printed is attached to the machine frame; a printing head is placed above the platen; a spring pushes the printing head down toward the platen with a constant pressure and for a constant time period, regardless of the strength and the duration of the squeezing of the operating hand lever of the machine; the printing head is restrained from descending until the spring has been adequately charged by squeezing of the hand lever, and then the printing head is released to descend. The printing head is separated from the platen immediately after its descent to and contact against the platen. In addition, there is a second spring acting on the printing head in opposition to the first mentioned spring to raise the printing head off the platen. In one embodiment, the first spring is apart from the printing head but acts on it. In another embodiment, the printing head is comprised of a number of relatively movable parts; the first spring for moving the head to the platen is in the printing head and is charged by relative motion of the parts of the printing head.
Abstract:
The disclosure concerns a printing device for use with a hand labeler, or the like. The printing device includes a platen and a printing head which carries a plurality of types on its printing surface, and which is moved into and out of contact with the platen thereby to print a label with a row of type characters. A type receiving plate is a part of the platen and it is made of an elastic material. The type receiving plate has dividing grooves which are parallel to one another and define type receiving lands. The type receiving lands are positioned to register with respective type characters when the printing head operates. The lands can be elastically deformed independently of one another. Thus, the type receiving lands can cooperate with the respective types to provide uniform printing pressure during the printing operation.
