Patent
Timing based servo system for magnetic tape systems
TL;DR: In this article, a track following servo system is described for magnetic tape systems in which magnetic servo track patterns contain transitions recorded at more than on azimuthal orientation across the width of the servo tracks.
Patent
Method and apparatus for synchronizing droplet formation in a liquid stream
TL;DR: In this paper, a source of energy is selectively applied to a liquid stream to reduce the surface tension of the liquid and is applied before the stream would randomly break up into droplets.
Patent
Timing based servo longitudinal addressing
Albrecht Thomas Robert,Rob Barrett,James Howard Eaton,Robert Allen Hutchins,Alan Jacatta Glenn +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a servo burst pattern of at least two repeated pairs of non-parallel magnetic flux transitions is provided, at least one of which transitions is slanted or otherwise continuously longitudinally variable across the width of the servo track.
Patent
Bidirectional flat contour linear tape recording head and drive
TL;DR: In this paper, a bidirectional linear thin film tape head and drive are disclosed with a flat contour on a wear resistant ceramic substrate, and at least one thin film transducer is provided on a side of the substrate, forming one edge to the flat transducing surface, and another edge is formed at the opposite side of a flat transducers edge.
Patent
Timing based servo with fixed distances between transitions
TL;DR: In this article, a servo writer generates a linear servo track timing based servo pattern comprised of transitions that extend laterally of the track, at least three spaced apart write elements, two of parallel azimuthal orientation, and at least one of a different azimythmographic orientation, corresponding to the write elements.
