摘要： The present invention provides a back-up tape drive having a precision molded chassis with a fine positioning system for a tape head. This system includes a follower nut threadingly mounted on a lead screw that is bi-directionally rotated by a stepper motor. A lever arm engages the follower nut in a manner such that torsional moments between the forces of the follower nut and lever arm are minimized. The other end of the lever arm engages a tape head mounting unit. The lever arm pivotally engages the chassis at a predetermined midpoint of the lever arm such that a mechanical advantage is derived. The positioning system is designed so the forces acting on the tape head mounting unit are aligned to minimize the torsional forces acting on the tape head mounting unit. The tape head mounting unit further includes reference features that reduce the need for azimuth and zenith adjustment.

摘要： A computer memory backup device which utilizes magnetic tape media having aperture indications at the beginning-of-tape (bot) and the end-of-tape (eot) for accomplishing the sensing of the same is disclosed. The present invention utilizes a light pipe for directing the emitted electromagnetic radiation from an isolated source to the magnetic tape media, and focuses the radiation in proximity to the media. An integral focusing lens disposed on the exit end of the light pipe serves to converge the exiting electromagnetic radiation in this fashion. The electromagnetic radiation source, shown as a light emitting diode, is pulsed in a manner such that accuracy, as well as energy conservation, is greatly increased. A time domain filtering method is employed as a means to further enhance the system's accuracy in sensing the beginning-of-tape and end-of-tape. The devices accommodate standard aperture indications as required by ANSI specifications in both dimensional and placement aspects. When these aperture indications reach the area at which the electromagnetic radiation is being focused they permit the electromagnetic radiation to pass through the magnetic tape media at which point the electromagnetic radiation is sensed. A determination is then made appropriately as to either the beginning-of-tape or end-of-tape.
摘要翻译：公开了一种使用磁带介质的计算机存储器备份设备，该磁带介质具有在磁带开始处的孔径指示（bot）和磁带末端（eot）以实现其感测。本发明利用光管将发射的电磁辐射从隔离源引导到磁带介质上，并将辐射聚焦在介质附近。设置在光管的出口端的整体聚焦透镜用于以这种方式会聚现有的电磁辐射。作为发光二极管示出的电磁辐射源以使精度以及节能大大增加的方式被脉冲化。采用时域滤波方法作为进一步增强系统检测磁带开始和磁带结束时的精度的手段。这些设备在尺寸和放置方面符合ANSI规格要求的标准光圈指示。当这些孔径指示到达电磁辐射被聚焦的区域时，它们允许电磁辐射通过磁带介质，此时感测电磁辐射。然后适当地确定磁带的开始或磁带结束。

摘要： A miniature, fiber-coupled Fabry-Perot interferometer has a piezoelectric transducer coupled to first and second collimating lenses. The collimating lenses collimate and interfere light energy within a gap formed between the lenses as part of the interferometer. Preferably, the lenses are matched mode gradient index lenses. Light energy coupled to the collimating lens is thus collimated and interfered within the gap. The piezoelectric transducer expands or contracts to adjust the gap, thereby adjusting the free spectral range of the interferometer. An input fiber provides input to the interferometer; an output fiber carries processed light energy of the selected free spectral range to external devices and optical systems. Metal coatings may be used to provide a capacitive feedback of lens position to calibrate the gap and, thus, the free spectral range.

摘要： Apparatus is disclosed for using a head having narrow write gap to write tracks of information on a tape for subsequent reading by other apparatus including apparatus having heads with a wide read gap. An inter track erase operation is performed prior to the writing operation. Density information is written on a plurality of tracks to indicate the flux reversal signal density used for the writing of user data elsewhere on the tape.
