    Abstract: This invention pertains to the technical field of vibratory pneumatodynamic bearings. The technical problem is to reduce bearing weight while not increasing pitch and yaw. This is accomplished by employing a transducer (41) including an elongated tube (42) with a shorter tube (44) which are bonded together, with one inside the other. This invention may be used in actuators for magnetic recorders. In one case elongated inner tube (42) is joined to the inner surface of the shorter outer tube (44). Transducer (41) carries a load at points of low vibration on inner tube (42). The outer tube (44) is piezoelectrically excited. The tubes (40, 42) are cylindrical and inner glass tube (42) rides on cylindrical rod (40). The mounting points are at saddle points (S, Fig. 7) on inner tube (42). The short outer tube (40) reduces transducer weight. Alternatively outer tube (90)can be longer than inner tube (91). In that case, outer tube supports tube (93), which rides on it.

    Abstract: The top drawing shows a magnetic head structure having means for detecting small capacitive variations which can be processed to give positional information about the head. The head comprises a substrate 32 carrying pole pieces and their associated pick-up coil 38 and contact pads 36, 37. The detecting means comprise a coil 26 providing an inductive reactance which is connected between a ground pad 23 and a capacitive pick-up electrode 24. The coil is inductively coupled to input arrangement 27 and to output arrangement 28. The other drawings show the equivalent circuit diagram. In use of the structure an oscillator is coupled to the input arrangement 27 and suitable circuitry connected to output arrangement 28 to detect amplitude modulation of the signal induced therein. These modulations provide information about the detected capacitive variations.

    Abstract: A pen (10) has a conductive casing (12) with an ink writing tip (21). The tip (21) is detachably mounted on the movable end of a piezoelectric tube (26), which has an opposite end (27) fixed to a mounting in the casing (12), so that the tube is mounted in cantilever fashion. The tube (26) has inner and outer tubular electrodes between which an electric signal is generated according to the pressure on the tip during pen use. A second piezoelectric tube (24), also mounted in cantilever fashion so as to have a movable end (25) and a fixed end (23), is located behind the tip and has a different arrangement of five electrodes for providing x, y signals according to the transverse accelerations of the pen during use. The pressure and accelerometer signals are electrically processed by electronic circuitry (22) before leaving the pen on cable (8).

    Abstract: An oscillating pneumatodynamic bearing takes the form of a laminated transducer disk cooperating with a flat surface or a tubular transducer cooperating with a rod or an enclosing tube. Such bearings are also known as squeeze bearings. At least one piezoelectric, magnetostrictive or electrostrictive material is laminated with another material to provide oscillation of the transducer portion of the bearing so that the transducer portion is able to fly above a bearing surface on a fluid which is usually ambient air compressed by the mechanical oscillation of the transducer portion at an ultrasonic frequency. The disk or the tube is connected mechanically to supports and to its electrical sources of energy or signals at points along the loci of zero oscillation or minimal oscillation. With a laminated disk, a nodal circle is the locus of zero oscillation. In the case of the tube, a number of parallel strips of reversed polarity transducer material are alternately connected together by an interdigitated electrode design of spacing grooves between an enveloping conductive layer which overlies the piezoelectric layer laminated to a metallic base. Bearings for armatures of linear motor types of actuators for reciprocating magnetic recording heads within magnetic recording disk files can employ a set of disk type bearings or a combination of a tubular bearing with at least one disk type bearing.
