Abstract: A computer media tape cartridge has a multiple volume selector switch with a plurality of positions which allow a user to physically segment the tape into a corresponding number of sections for more efficient use of the tape. By moving the switch to a desired position, the user may select and use the tracks in one or all of the positions on the tape. These positions include an "all position" wherein the tape is a single volume for reading and writing data, and individual positions wherein only the selected position is available for reading or writing data to the tape. Using the cartridge in the latter manner physically segments tape into four separate volumes. The cartridge is used in a tape drive having a plurality of sensors for detecting the position of the switch.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a tab which employs a reciprocable punch and a die having an opening in alignment with the movement of the punch and positioned a spaced distance from the punch. A tab supply tape is fed through an opening defined by the spaced distance between the punch and die and, on reciprocation of the punch into contact with the die opening, a tab is cut from the tape. The line of direction of the reciprocatory movement of the punch may be determined by guide means which slidably receive the punch with the punch being pivotally connected to a reciprocable actuator. The connection between the punch and actuator permits pivotal movement of the actuator with respect to the punch while maintaining the alignment of the punch. Adjustable means may interconnect the movement of the punch and movement of the tape such that the distance of movement of the tape is adjustably related to each reciprocation of the punch. Also, means may be provided which control the speed of movement of the tape in relation to the tension in the tape. In addition, centering means may be provided to maintain the position of the long dimension of the tape relatively constant with respect to the position of the punch and the position of the opening in the die. In the movement of the tape through the spaced distance separating the punch from the die, the tape movement is maintained at approximately a right angle to the direction of movement of the punch. Further, the die and punch may have curved lower surfaces. A method for applying a tab to preselected portions of an audio or visual tape in which the tape is held in a curved configuration over a reel having projections which engage holes positioned along a side of the tape. A shoe having a curved surface, a central opening and a depression in the curved surface is aligned with the tape along the axis of the holes in the tape by bringing the curved surface of the shoe into contact with the tape reel with a depression in the bottom curved surface of the shoe in alignment with a projection on the reel. Following this, a tab having a gummy surface is adhered to a preselected portion of the tape by pushing the tab through the central opening of the shoe to bring the gummy surface of the tab into contact with the audio or visual tape. A pushing member having a curved pushing face may be used to push the tab through the opening to provide the tab with a curved configuration prior to its contact with the curved configuration of the audio or visual tape.

Abstract: An apparatus, for detecting the starting or ending portion of a tape, has a detector for detecting the starting portion or the ending portion of the tape wound on a take-up reel and a supply reel of a cassette. The apparatus includes a first guide installed on at least one side adjacent to the tape inlet/outlet opening of the cassette to be loaded, and which is in contact with a recording surface of the tape. A second guide is fixed so as to be electrically insulated from the first guide, and is in contact with a recording surface of the tape. A voltage applying circuit is provided for applying a predetermined voltage level across the first and second guides. The starting portion or the ending portion of the tape is detected depending on the presence or absence of electrical current between the first and second guides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating beginning-of-tape (BOT) and end-of-tape (EOT) indicators on a magnetic tape by altering a discrete area or areas of the recording area or the non-recording area of a magnetic tape, such that the area or areas are optically detectible. The invention provides a method for creating BOT and EOT indicators by removing a discrete area or areas of the ferromagnetic layer or the non-ferromagnetic layer of a magnetic tape, such that the mark reflects or transmits light differently than unmarked portions of the tape. The invention also provides a method for creating BOT and EOT indicators by placement of a fluorescent or optical dye on the ferromagnetic layer or non-ferromagnetic layer of a magnetic tape. Such fluorescent or optical dye is optically detectible, and further reduces any physical distortion in the magnetic tape.

Abstract: An appliance for adhering a sensing marker on a medium for recording information, such as a magnetic tape, comprising a case, removing rotor, and a guide way. The case has a cavity formed therein where the removing rotor is pivotally supported. The removing rotor also has a cavity therein where a marker roll is accommodated which is commercially available and which includes a backing liner and a plurality of pre-cut sensing markers adhered on the backing liner. The removing rotor has a station which is formed in a flat surface for receiving the backing liner withdrawn from the marker roll. An arc surface and a radial step are also provided with the removing roller. A location is formed on the case so that the magnetic tape is positioned there. A transfer block which has a rectangular shape is formed at the bottom thereof. Soft material which has a tendency to stick to the sensing marker is positioned on the block. The block is pressed to the sensing marker positioned on the flat surface of the removing rotor so that the sensing marker sticks to the soft material mounted on the block. Thereafter, the block together with the sensing marker is pressed to the magnetic tape and the sensing marker is adhered to the tape.
