Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a backside coating formulation for a magnetic recording tape having residual compressibility.
SOLUTION: The magnetic recording tape for data storage comprises a non-magnetic substrate having a front side and a backside and a magnetic layer formed over the front side of the substrate containing magnetic pigment particles and a binder system therefor. The magnetic particles typically have a coercivity of at least about 2,000 Oe. The substrate also has a backside coating layer formed over the backside surface of the substrate comprising at least one non-magnetic pigment and at least one binder therefor. The pigment is present in a range of from about 49% to about 55% and the backside coating layer exhibits compressibility.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide servo write-in head positioning of total amplitude time base.
SOLUTION: This is a servo write-in apparatus having accurate positioning of a write-in gap of a servo write-in head. Especially, the write-in gap is almost positioned to a servo channel corresponding to a servo band of a magnetic data storage tape. The servo band is magnetized completely in one direction by a DC magnetic field over one write-in gap of the servo write-in head. Servo marking of a time base magnetized in the second direction is recorded on the servo band being magnetized completely by a pulse magnetic field over a write-in gap of the other servo write-in head. The servo write-in head can be packaged in package structure in the servo write-in apparatus. Positioning accuracy of the write-in gap is improved by keeping a ratio of large package structure width to servo write-in head separation distance, complete servo signal intensity over the servo band is guaranteed without magnetizing an adjacent data band.

Abstract translation: 要解决的问题：提供总幅度时基的伺服写入头定位。 解决方案：这是伺服写入装置，其具有伺服写入头的写入间隙的精确定位。 特别地，写入间隙几乎位于对应于磁数据存储带的伺服带的伺服通道。 伺服带通过伺服写入头的一个写入间隙内的直流磁场在一个方向上被完全磁化。 在第二方向上磁化的时基的伺服标记被记录在被另一个伺服写入头的写入间隙上的脉冲磁场完全磁化的伺服带上。 伺服写入头可以在伺服写入装置中以封装结构封装。 通过保持大的封装结构宽度与伺服写入头分离距离的比例，可以提高写入间隙的定位精度，保证伺服带上完整的伺服信号强度不会磁化相邻的数据带。 版权所有（C）2006，JPO＆NCIPI

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide self-referenced holography using a diffusive element. SOLUTION: The invention is directed to self-referenced holographic recording techniques that make use of a diffusive element. Self-referenced holography refers to holographic recording techniques in which a reference beam is created from a zero frequency Fourier component of a data encoded object beam. In accordance with the invention, a diffusive element can be positioned in a holographic recording system to create the reference beam from the zero frequency Fourier component of the data encoded object beam. Using a diffusive element to create a reference beam in self-referenced holography can provide advantages to the self-referenced holographic recording system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic flux modulation characteristic of low standard deviation. SOLUTION: This medium is a magnetic recording medium in which magnetic flux modulation is suppressed and a SN ratio is improved. This magnetic recording medium can take a type of a magnetic tape or a magnetic disk. The magnetic flux modulation characteristic can be improved by providing a magnetic recording layer of which thickness is uniform. For example, the magnetic recording medium can have a coercive force of 2000 oersteds or more and one sigma standard deviation of the magnetic flux modulation characteristic of less than 0.06. In some case, one sigma standard deviation of the magnetic flux modulation characteristic can be made less than 0.05, further, by 0.04. Storage density can be supported to improve by suppressing the magnetic flux modulation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract: The invention provides for modifications to conventional optical data storage media to reduce the amount of raw material necessary in the media construction. More particularly, a portion of a thermoplastic substrate is modified to create one or more substantial void areas compared to a conventional substrate that defines flat parallel surfaces without void areas. The configuration, number, and size of the voids may be modified in order to substantially reduce inherent raw material cost while maintaining the specified physical thickness, clamping area, and mechanical stability of the medium.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a data storage device that includes a host connector to facilitate attachment to a host computer so that the host computer can access one or more storage elements within the device. The data storage device includes a flexible member to mechanically and electrically couple the host connector of the device to a housing that holds the storage elements. The housing may comprise a receptacle for insertion of the host connector when the device is not coupled to a host computer. The flexible member may define a length and a flexibility sufficient to allow the host connector to be inserted into the receptacle in the housing. When the host connector is inserted into the receptacle in the housing, the data storage device forms a loop, allowing the device to be attached to items or objects or possibly worn as jewelry.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a magnetic field sensing device (FSD) capable of visually indicating exposure to a magnetic field with a strength that exceeds a threshold value. The magnetic FSD comprises a magnetic layer magnetized to define a pattern. The threshold value is approximately equal to a coercivity of the magnetic layer of the FSD, which is at least approximately 3000 Oersteds. The pattern becomes visible when a finely divided magnetic material is applied over the magnetic layer. Then, when the FSD is exposed to a magnetic field with a strength that exceeds the threshold, the pattern visibly alters (e.g., typically disappears altogether). Accordingly, upon re-application of the finely divided magnetic material, the alteration of the pattern is evidence of successful degaussing.

Abstract: Mastering techniques are described that can improve the quality of a master used in data storage disk manufacturing. In particular, the techniques can improve resolution of the features created on the master. The techniques include coating a master substrate layer (32) with a tri-layer structure composed of a top photoresist layer (36), a bottom photoresist layer (34), and a non-resist layer (35) interposed between the two photoresist layers. The bottom photoresist layer (34) comprises a deep ultraviolet (DUV) resist material. Mastering the top photoresist layer (36) defines a portable conformable mask (PCM) for the bottom photoresist layer. A variety of PCM may be defined for the bottom photoresist layer. The PCM may be defined using conventional tip recording with a focused laser spot that provides fine feature definition. A blanket DUV light (48) may then illuminate the bottom photoresist layer (34) through the PCM to provide enhanced feature resolution in a data storage disk master.
