In the method, a trialkoxysilane compound as the starting material is first emulsified in an aqueous medium containing a cationic surface active agent and a non-ionic surface active agent having a specified HLB value in the range from 16 to 20 in combination followed by the addition of an alkali catalyst and heating to effect hydrolysis and polycondensation of the trialkoxysilane.

Abstract: In a magnetic head drive apparatus of this invention, a coil of an erasing head is connected to a center point of the coils of a read/write head, and a drive current from a constant-current source is alternately supplied to both terminals of the coil of the read/write head, according to the polarity of the write data. When the read/write head is driven to write data in a magnetic recording medium, the erasing head and the read/write head are driven at an identical timing. In this case, the drive currents for the read/write head and the erasing head are supplied from a single-current source. For this reason, separate constant-current sources are not necessary for the read/write head and the erasing head.
