    Abstract: ERASABLE VISUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE An erasable visual image display device contains a pair of conductive electrodes in spaced relationship. One electrode has a cation permselective membrane thereon and the other electrode has an anion permselective membrane thereon. Positioned between the two membranes is a recording medium having the properties of being both photoionizable and capable of electrochemically producing colored species. The medium contains an electrochemically reversible acceptor molecule, for example, 1, 2, 4, 5 tetracyanobenzene and an electrochemically reversible donor molecule, for example, l-phenyl-3 diethylaminostyrl -5-diethylaminophenyl .DELTA.2 pyrazoline.

    Abstract: An optical recording system is described in which the optical head 31 is operated in physical contact with the surface of the optical recording medium during system operation at a selected operating speed. The optical head includes one or more optical elements 33 mounted on a substrate 37 which is in physical, sliding contact with the recording medium. The substrate is fabricated from a crystalline material which has a non-linear load versus friction characteristic in the negative load region. When the head is in sliding contact with the recording medium surface, a restoring force is generated which maintains the optical head in physical contact with the recording medium overcoming any lifting forces generated by the moving air layer adjacent the recording medium surface. This allows the head to be operated with a negative external load applied. Utilizing the optical head having the objective lens mounted on the substrate in close proximity to the recording medium surface allows high density recording to be achieved without the requirement of an electro-mechanical servo system to provide beam focusing for the system.

    Abstract: 1,151,643. Semi-conductor devices. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 5 June, 1967 [15 July, 1966], No. 25835/67. Heading H1K. [Also in Division C7] A Schottby-barrier diode is formed by sputtering a layer 7 of metal on to a semi-conductor body 3 which is itself biased during the sputtering process so that contaminants may be sputtered off from the surface while the metal layer 7 is applied. Suitable semi-conductor materials include Si, Ge or GaAs, while the layer 7 may be of a high work-function metal such as W, Cr or Mo for N-type material, or a low work-function metal such as Al, In, Sn, or Zn for P-type material. The preferred form comprises an N-type layer 5 epitaxially deposited on a high conductivity (e.g. degenerate) substrate 3, the metal layer 7 being sputtered on to the epitaxial layer 5. Suitable sputtering apparatus is described, in which the sputtering gas used is argon. The semi-conductor substrate is initially etched clean, and may also be heated during the sputtering process. The metal layer 7 may form a compound, e.g. a metal-silicide; with the semi-conductor surface, thus producing a good mechanical bond.

    Abstract: A contact magnetic storage system in which the slider, which supports the magnetic read/write head, is in physical contact with a rigid magnetic storage medium during system operation at a selected operating speed. The slider material has a load versus friction characteristic that is non-linear in the negative load region. This characteristic allows the slider to be suspended from an access arm with zero or negative external loading. In a conventional magnetic storage system, at operating speed the slider is lifted away from the surface of the storage medium by at least the thickness of the air film adjacent the moving storage medium surface. In the present invention, due to the non-linear load versus friction characteristics of the slider material, a restoring force is generated at system operating speed which overcomes the lift of the air bearing and maintains the slider in contact with the storage medium surface without substantial wear or damage to either the slider or the storage medium. Various single crystal, polycrystalline and some amorphous materials have been shown to work in such a contact magnetic storage system.
