Abstract:
A single magnetic head has the longitudinal axes of a recordplayback gap and an erase gap disposed at an angle to each other to reduce erase gap pickup interference during playback. The angle is preferably 45*.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a word processing system of the type which comprises a processor (54) for storing programs controlling the operation of the word processing system, and audio recording means (55, 56) for recording messages spoken by an operator and relating to text being processed. According to the invention the system is characterised in that the recording means comprises monitoring means for monitoring the volume level of speech supplied to the recording means by an operator, and indicating means for indicating to the operator if the volume level is too high or too low. According to another aspect of the invention the system comprises audio playback means (55, 56) for playing back the recorded messages and the indicating means indicates to the operator if the volume of playback is too high or too low.
Abstract:
SYSTEM FOR RANDOMLY ACCESSING A RECIRCULATING MEMORY A control system for randomly accessing the contents of a recirculating shift register memory under the control of a processor. The processor provides to the control system an address equivalent to the number of positions the operating point (defined by an operating flag) is to be moved in the shift register memory to access the information desired by the processor. The control system decodes the address, removes the operating flag from the memory character stream and reinserts the operating flag in the memory at the point desired by the processor during a single revolution of the memory.

AT9-86-034 SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING THE CONTROL OF AUDIO INFORMATION WITHIN A WORD PROCESSING DOCUMENT WITH AUDIO INPUT A word processing system in which text can be displayed on a display device and audio recording and playback means is provided to permit a user to record an audio message includes means for monitoring the volume level of speaking by the user and means for notifying the user if the volume level of the speaking by the user is too high or too low. Also, the system allows the user to pause and resume during recording and playback without requiring re-recording or re-playback of the entire message.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus associated with word processing equipment for producing a preliminary printout of accessible lines of intermixed text characters and code characters representative of the format of such text. The apparatus includes logic controlled gates for selectively gating text codes, instruction codes, and reference line number codes to a print control coupled to, and controlling the printing by, a printer. Specific networks enable the printing of "font change" instructions and identifications and characteristic identifier symbols indicative of the presence of an instruction code.
