Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and device for producing magnetic recording media with a disoriented particulate magnetic layer applied to a non-magnetic layer carrier. For the purpose of disorientation, the magnetic layer containing magnetically anisotropic pigments, after being applied to the layer carrier, is first oriented perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic layer by means of a unipolar magnetic field constant in time. The still-liquid magnetic layer is then passed into a field-free space where the layer is disoriented before it starts to dry. The device according to the invention comprises a magnetic arrangement which is mounted in a mirror-symmetrical manner either side of the layer carrier and generates a unipolar magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic layer. According to the invention, disc-shaped magnetic recording media can be produced from particulate magnetic layers without any portion of the reading voltage amplitude being dependent on orientation.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic moulding material based on polyethylene terephthalate contains preferably 37-96 wt % PET, 1-20 wt % polymer material containing preferably polyurethane, and approximately 4-30 wt % pigment-type stiffening agent of, in particular, metal and/or metal oxide CrO2. The moulding materials can be advantageously processed in injection moulding and the resulting mouldings have advantageous properties, in particular higher density, compared to a comparable glass fibre-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The proposed thermoplastic moulding material can be advantageously used for small parts and housing parts, especially for electronic and data-processing devices.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for separating at least one object (7, 8) from a housing part (5), said device comprising a gripper device (15), an ejection arrangement (14) and optionally a feeler device (17) for detecting the object. The separating device can advantageously be used in systems for dismantling audio, video, data and film cassettes.
Abstract:
A transfer foil for printing on at least partly three-dimensional objects whereby short incisions are made in the foil in the region of the contours of the different planes so that the surfaces at those different planes can be simultaneously and equally well printed. The characterising feature of the printed object is that defects of the printing around the border zones are barely noticeable. This method can be used on any object with raised planes such as containers, turning knobs and the like.
Abstract:
In order to improve contrast in diazofilms, the diazo compounds in the light-sensitive layer which are to be activated by exposure for colour formation are supplemented by diazo compounds in the case of which nitrogen remaining at the exposed locations and bubbles causing light scatter are produced after the action of light followed immediately by a heat treatment.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the recovery for re-use of magnetic powder and polyethyleneterephthalate from a magnetic recording carrier consisting of a PET layer carrier and a magnetic layer cast thereon, in which finely particulate magnetic powder is finely dispersed in a polyurethane binder. According to the invention, finely cut waste magnetic tape is treated at a high temperature in an alkaline medium consisting of potassium salts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, one or more organic solvents and optionally water, a catalyst and surfactants. The magnetic layer detached in this way is separated from the layer carrier by a washing process and then both the layer carrier and the magnetic powder are dried. The valuable substances recovered in this way can be subjected to further processing and used for other application purposes.
Abstract:
The description relates to an improved extrusion moulder with at least two moulding slots to apply one or more magnetisable coatings to a flexible non-magnetic substrate. Here, the upper lip of the outlet aperture is further back than the lower lip and in addition, opposite the outlet aperture for the dispersions from the extrusion moulder and on the other side of the substrate there is the edge of a parallelepiped magnet having a gradient towards the extrusion slot greater than 400 A/cm, thus producing a stabilised liquid support. It is thus possible to cast very thin coatings and to make the meniscus insensitive to disruptive forces. To reduce the edge bead a doctor blade (13) is fitted on both casting edges which is extended over the region of the upper or lower lip of the extrusion moulder towards the material web (1) to which the coating is applied, a minimum distance of 0.05 to 0.8 mm being set between the surface (19) of the doctor blade (13) and the coated material web.
Abstract:
A cassette or a container with a recording medium is fitted with a movable closure for at least one aperture. The closure is in at least two parts, one of which is of plastic and the other of metal, or both may be of plastic. The closure may advantageously be used for all containers with recording media fitted with movable closure components.
Abstract:
A winding hub for tape-like information carriers has resilient elements arranged between the inner and outer rings to ensure a compression ratio lower than 1:4 between the inner and outer diameters. In order to increase the winding hub holding forces during winding, limiting elements that act in the radial direction are associated with the spring elements.
