Abstract:
A LAMINATED STRUCTURE, INCLUDING LAMINA OF METALLIC MAGNETICALLY PERMEABLE MATERIAL, CONSTRUCTED WITH EACH LAMINA SEPARATED FROM EACH NEXT ADJOINING LAMINA BY A THIN LAYER OF ELECTRICALLY NON-CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT EACH LAMINA IS JOINED AND INTERCONNECTED IN A RANDOM PATTERN THROUGH THE NON-CONDUCTIVE LAYER TO EACH ADJACENT LAMINA. THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN EACH PAIR OF LAMINAE COVER ABOUT 10%, OR LESS, OF EACH LAMINA''S SURFACE AREA. LAMINATED STRUCTURES OF THIS TYPE ARE PRODUCED BY PROVIDING A THIN, ELECTRICALLY NONCONDUCTIVE COATING UPON THE SURFACE OF METALLIC LAMINA, STACKING A PLURALITY OF COATED LAMINAE, INLCUDING MAGNETICALLY PERMEABLE LAMINA, IN REGISTERED CONTACTING RELATIONSHIP, AND THEN HEATING THE STACKED LAMINAE AT A TEMPERATURE AND FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO SIMULTANEOUSLY ANNEAL THE MAGNETICALLY PERMEABLE MATERIAL AND CAUSE EACH LAMINA TO BE DIFFSION BONDED THROUGH THE NON-CONDUCTIVE LAYER TO EACH ADJACENT LAMINA IN A RANDOM PATTERN COVERING ABOUT 10%, OR LESS, OF EACH LAMINA''S SURFACE AREA.
Abstract:
Magnetic head elements are batch fabricated on areas of a substrate. During manufacture, and before final separation and processing of the areas into discrete multi-track magnetic heads, defective areas are identified for removal. An electric signal source subjects the head areas to a magnetic field which is detected as electric current in each head area. The detected current value in acceptable head areas falls within a predefined range. All head areas having a current outside the range are defined as defective. The magnetic field emanates from one set of head areas in the vicinity of another set of head areas being tested.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a new magneto-optic transducer which orients the transfer film non-parallel to the record storage medium with only an edge of the transfer film adjacent the record storage medium. The magneto-optic transducer also provides a reflecting surface adjacent the surface of the record storage medium on either side of the transfer film so that the magneto-optic Kerr or Faraday Effect may be utilized with the transducer. Furthermore, the reflecting surface permits a focused light beam to be directed near the edge of the transfer film adjacent the storage medium.
Abstract:
A LIGHT DEFLECTOR SYSTEM IS PROVIDED WHEREIN A LIGHT BEAM CAN BE QUICKLY POSITIONED IN RESPONSE TO A RELATIVELY SMALL MAGNETIC, MECHANICAL, OR ELECTRIC SIGNAL, THEREBY ENABLING THE PRECISE POSITIONING OF THE BEAM TO PRESELECTED LOCATIONS.
