Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for improved edge detection on tapes. By use of a nominal tape having a 100% output, a write head writes with a given write current onto the nominal tape and the output level is read with a read head during a calibration procedure in order to determine a reference level for the 100% nominal tape. Thereafter, when an actual tape is being used, by use of the same write current, a signal is written on the actual tape and is subsequently read to create a read output. That read output is compared to the reference level output derived during the calibration to create a correction factor. The correction factor is then employed to correct a trigger point utilized during a subsequent tape edge determination.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种改进的磁带边缘检测方法和系统。 通过使用具有100％输出的标称磁带，写入头以给定的写入电流写入标称磁带，并且在校准过程期间用读取头读取输出电平，以便确定100％ 标称磁带。 此后，当正在使用实际磁带时，通过使用相同的写入电流，信号被写入实际磁带上，并且随后被读取以创建读取输出。 该读取输出与校准期间导出的参考电平输出进行比较以创建校正因子。 然后使用校正因子来校正在随后的磁带边缘确定期间使用的触发点。

Abstract: In a tape cartridge of the type used to store data on a magnetic tape in a high-speed data storage and retrieval system, the tape must be maintained at a proper tension within the cartridge so as to maintain the tape taut against the write/read head. Slackness in the tape occurs after a repeated number of changes in the tape transport direction or start/stop events, because the tension experienced by the tape is not the same in both transport directions. A method and apparatus for maintaining tape tension are disclosed wherein a selected tape characteristic is monitored, the characteristic changing as the tape tension changes. If the monitored characteristic exceeds a predetermined value, or after the passage of a selected amount of time, when the next reversal of tape transport direction occurs, the tape is moved a selected distance longer than necessary to effect the reversal so that when a desired data location on the tape reaches the location of the write/read head, the tape will again be at the proper tension.

Abstract: A magnetic head which contacts the magnetic tape (11) comprises a ferromagnetic body (12). A recess (26) is provided in this ferromagnetic body (12). A ferromagnetic core (9) has pole tips (9a,9b) which are located in the recess and which are arranged for contact with the magnetic tape. A non-magnetic material (18,20,21,22) is arranged along each side of the magnetic core pole tips in the recess. Relative hardnesses of the ferromagnetic body, ferromagnetic core pole tips, and non-magnetic material are chosen so that as the tape (11) wears away on contact surfaces of the magnetic core pole tips, non-magnetic material, and ferromagnetic body, the core pole tips (9a,9b) protrude relative to adjacent portions of the ferromagnetic body and the non-magnetic material so that the tape rides on the protruding pole tips of the core. A radius of curvature at the contact surface of the magnetic core pole tips prior to wearing of the pole tips is chosen such that it is smaller than a natural radius of bending of the tape.

Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed having associated therewith a removable storage medium. The data storage device has a main control unit with a microprocessor. The system is designed such that an internal control program for control of the media is stored directly on the media itself. By use of a boot program which can be stored in the microprocessor or separately from the microprocessor, the control program is read off of the media by the microprocessor and is stored in a main control program storage within the data storage device. The main control program storage is an erasible storage like an EEPROM, RAM, or flash memory.
