摘要:
The invention concerns a method of recording information on an electrosensitive record carrier, preferably a record carrier covered with a metallic or metalliferous layer, by means of a print head movable relatively parallel to the surface of the record carrier and comprising at least one print electrode controllable by print pulses, and a control circuit for the timely generation of the print pulses from digital or analog signals received in such a manner that the duration and amplitude of each print current pulse are chosen so that the print process triggered by the individual print pulse is completed by the time the print pulse stops.

Step motor control in which a coded emitter disk is formed with a plurality of sensible secondary marks between each pair of primary motor step marks for use as different optional delay times for the generation of a motor advance pulse after a step mark is sensed. A circuit is disclosed to select predetermined ones of the secondary marks which will generate motor advance pulses in a closed loop system. This arrangement of secondary marks permits the elimination of circuits of fixed delays for feedback signals which are inappropriate when the motor load or temperature varies.

Sheathed electrode for metal paper printer in which the core is of material having a higher melting point than the encasing material. This arrangement permits the use of electrodes having smaller cross-section and attainment of finer resolution since only the core is effective during marking.

For record carriers with a greatly varying thickness of the metal layer, the burn out process is effected dynamically with respect to the current strength. During the starting phase up to the beginning of the actual arcing phase a relatively high current is applied which is sufficient to burn out even thick metal layers. As burning out proceeds, the print current, after a particular arc voltage has been reached, is reduced in a short time, maintaining the arc and avoiding an undesirable burning out which would increase the print spot. For thinner metal layers the burn out current is correspondingly lower. The maximum burn out current is automatically adjusted to the thickness of the metal layer by measuring the arc voltage between electrode and metal surface of the record carrier. Suitable arrangements for controlling the burn out current are characterized by an (arc) voltage-controlled current control circuit.

The invention concerns a process for producing compact, cellulose acetobutyrate based lacquer layers with a high degree of dullness for record carriers coated with a metallic or metalliferous layer, wherein high-molecular polysaccharides, having side chains and containing lignin, are admixed with the basic lacquer compound as a filler with a particle size distribution of less than 10 .mu.m and a molecular weight of about 10.sup.6.
摘要:
A process for producing a mechanically stable, heat resistant lacquer for record carriers on a cellulose monobutyrate basis, whereby the cellulose aceto monobutyrate and a polyvinyl ester copolymer with long aliphatic side chains are mixed with each other and are processed in the form of a lacquer after addition of the fillers and/or pigments.
摘要:
After having been pretreated by kneading at its softening temperature, a cellulose acetate is subjected to block polymerization by being kneaded with, for example, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymerizate, at its mean softening temperature. If necessary, the block copolymerizate may be subsequently cross-linked by adding a peroxide.

For record carrier material, the front and the back sides of which are provided with a lacquer layer and the front side of which is coated with an aluminum layer, one of the two lacquer layers is admixed with a material, such as metal azide, which forms a metal radical suitable for reacting with fatty acids, while at least one of the lacquer layers is admixed with a fatty acid or a mixture of fatty acids.
摘要:
To reduce scratches on the aluminum-covered front surface of a record carrier substrate having a back surface covered with a nitrocellulose lacquer, 0.1 to 2 percent by weight of a fatty acid, as referred to the weight of the wet lacquer, is added to the last applied layer of lacquer. When the record carrier is wound into a roll, the aluminum layer contacts and reacts with the fatty acid forming a sliding layer.

Apparatus for and method of providing multiplex control for the plurality of electrodes in an electroerosion print head. This technique allows the elimination of a number of control leads originally required and reduces the cost of electrode drivers. Electrode spacing is modified slightly to accommodate the multiplexing control.
