Abstract:
A recording medium is shown which is responsive to a magnetic or an electrostatic field for recording an input signal thereon having a continuous web of an encapsulating or entrapping material containing a suspension of highly reflective flakes. Exposure to a magnetic or an electrostatic field reorients the preoriented flakes to provide a contrast between the exposed portions of the recording medium and the unexposed portions thereof.
Abstract:
A recorder using an analog-to-digital converter for converting an input signal into a succession of digital words. The digital words are stored in groups with each group having a number of words corresponding to the number of recording elements arranged along a recording line. Each digital word in a group is compared with a digital signal representative of the position of a recording medium. Upon the detection of an equality between the compared signals, an energizing signal is applied to a corresponding one of the recording elements which energized state is maintained until the loss of an equality between the compared signals corresponding to a previously energized recording element. The recording lines are located transverse to the motion of the recording medium with a plurality of recording lines forming a recording frame for recording a predetermined portion of a time axis of the input signal.
