Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restore the reliability of a motor used in a tape drive. SOLUTION: This device has a first reel assembly having a first motor which rotates in a first direction in order to deliver a magnetic tape and rotates in a second direction in order to take up the tape and a second reel assembly having a second motor which rotates in the first direction in order to take up the magnetic tape delivered by the first reel assembly and rotates in the second direction to deliver the magnetic tape to the first reel assembly and is a device controlling the motion of the magnetic tape in the tape drive. The device described above has a means for starting a motor cleaning control unit in order to clean the interface of the commutator and brush of at least one motor of the first motor and second motor connected to a motor cleaning power source when the tape drive is inactive.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method and device for identifying hardware. SOLUTION: A microprocessor (digital device) having micro-codes is integrated in a mechanical device. The mechanical device has an analog electric signal line for sending a digital signal including the identification data of the device itself to a central computer. Since the digital signal includes an operation range and other optional information, the mechanical device can be recognized by the information and the operation control of the device can be automatically integrated into the whole system on the basis of the information without interrupting it. The digital signal is transmitted to a central computer system immediately after detecting a power ON signal by the microprocessor built in the mechanical device.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for determining the width of a write track for a magnetic tape head. SOLUTION: The width of the write track is measured by writing a foreground magnetic track signal different from a background signal on a magnetic tape. A magnetic tape read head is moved beyond one edge of the foreground magnetic track signal, laterally across, and then is moved beyond the opposite edge of the foreground magnetic track signal to laterally move. A logic detects that the read head encounters the one edge and the opposite edge of the foreground track signal. The logic determines, from an independent position sensor, the width of the foreground track signal as a lateral distance between the lateral position of the read head at the one edge of the foreground track signal and the lateral position of the read head at the opposite edge.

Abstract: An electrical connection of a transfer station (100) releasably, repeatably electrically couples with respect to a matching connection of a portable cartridge (40). A substrate (50) in the portable cartridge has electrical contacts (51) on a facing surface. In the transfer station, a matching circuitized flexible substrate (136) has electrical contacts (141) on a facing surface thereof, which are arranged to match the portable cartridge electrical contacts when in a face-to-face relationship. An elastomeric compression element (132), at the rear of the matching substrate, has individual protruding compression members contacting the rear surface and registered with corresponding individual electrical contacts. Elongated electrical contacts are registered with two adjacent individual compression members. A loader engages the portable cartridge, registering the cartridge substrate contacts in face-to-face relation with the matching flexible substrate electrical contacts, and exerting a normal force to the cartridge to compress the compression element and create non-wiping contact between the facing electrical contacts.

Abstract: Commutators on a direct current motor run at low speed for an extended period of time get covered with a coating that makes the interface between the commutator and the brushes unreliable especially with the low speed, low current operation. This is especially true for drive motors in a data processing tape drive unit where speed control is critical. The brush to commutator interface can be cleaned by applying a very high electrical current to the motor and varying the polarity of the current with a variable duty cycle to obtain the maximum cleaning currents in a relatively short time without dismantling the motors.
