Publication number: 20020018316Abstract: A shielded magnetic head includes a magnetically shielded gap and first to fourth conductive magnetic films disposed in the gap. The first to fourth conductive magnetic films, each extending parallel to a tip face of a magnetic head to be opposed to a magnetic recording medium, are aligned at a distance from one another in a direction perpendicular to the tip face so as to be away from the tip face in ascending order and connected to one another so as to form a bridge circuit. The distance between the first conductive magnetic film and the tip face is set so that a signal magnetic field from the magnetic recording medium is applied to the first conductive magnetic film. By canceling impedance components that do not vary depending on a magnetic field, the shielded magnetic head detects only impedance components that vary depending on a signal magnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2001Publication date: February 14, 2002Applicant: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Kuroe, Akio Murata, Sayuri Muramatsu

Patent number: 5828278Abstract: A deflection system which improves picture distortion and misconvergence by eliminating the wrong winding of coil. in which a bobbin 20 for the deflection coil, whose partial cross section is of a funnel shape, is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of a cathode ray tube between a neck and a funnel for winding a deflection coil 26 thereon. When the deflection coil is wound from a bend onto the inner surface of a bobbin body, a coil layer regulating portion 40 is formed at a claw on the bend side. The coil layer regulating portion is a thick-wall portion formed on the inside of the claw on the bend side. By this thick-wall portion, a horizontal deflection coil 26 is wound on an average with respect to the bottom of respective bends 22 and 24 even when the horizontal deflection coil is wound from the bend 22, 24 onto the inner surface of the bobbin body. As a result, the coil is wound on an average with respect to a coil groove inside the bobbin, so that the wrong winding of coil is eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1996Date of Patent: October 27, 1998Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Akio Murata

Patent number: 5537276Abstract: A head height adjustment method is for adjusting the height of a magnetic head chip fixed to a free end of an elongated head base extending from a rotary drum. The elongated head base has an intermediate portion bent at first and second restricted areas. A laser beam is emitted on one surface of the elongated head base for bending the elongated head base at the first restricted area to enfold along the first restricted area. Another laser beam is emitted on another surface of the elongated head base, off alignment from said first restricted area, for bending the elongated head base at the second restricted area to enfold along the second restricted area. Thus, opposite end portions of the elongated head base extend parallel to each other, but at different levels.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1995Date of Patent: July 16, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Mukae, Masaru Higashionji, Akio Murata, Takaaki Maegawa
