Abstract: An electro-thermal transducer is composed of a substrate, a resistive heater element formed on the substrate, and electrically conductive members to supply electric power to the resistive heater element, wherein the resistive heater element contains a metal boride as the principal constituent. The transducer of this construction is capable of selecting its resistivity to a high value and causing a large electric current to flow in the form of short pulses for the purpose of high speed printing, hence it is stable against repetitive pulse applications over a long period of time. The method of producing the transducer is by forming a layer of a resistive heater element including a metal boride on a substrate of an electrically insulative material by conducting a reactive sputtering reaction between a target of an elemental form of the metal and diborane gas; and then applying to the resistive heater element an electrically conductive member for supplying the resistive heater element with electric power.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive effect thin film magnetic sensor has a temperature compensating magnetoresistive effect (MR) element arranged non-parallel to a signal detecting MR element to prevent the temperature compensating MR element from being influenced by an external magnetic signal field. Alternatively, it has an L-shaped temperature compensating MR element arranged closely to the signal detecting MR element to prevent the temperature compensating MR element from being influenced by the external magnetic signal field. It further has a magnet member arranged closely to or in contact with the temperature compensating MR element to enhance a positional precision of the temperature compensation and reduce a time lag.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improvements in a perpendicular magnetic recording-reproducing head. One of the improvements comprises the use of a magneto-resistive effect element to form the main pole of the magnetic head. This feature of the invention enables a stable and faithful reproduction of information recorded in a magnetic recording medium up to the shortest wavelength and to obtain a sufficiently large reproducing output signal. Another improvement comprises the use of such magneto-resistive effect elements in layers. The multilayer structure permits production of a large reproducing output and also an optimum S/N ratio even if the width of track is small.

Abstract: A process for making magnetic reluctance effect type magnetic heads comprises forming the magnetic sensor, first lead and second lead sections in series by use of the same material. The noise in the magnetic head is reduced, yet the output is increased by making the first lead section of a width larger than that of the magnetic sensor and second lead sections. The reproducing sensitivity of the magnetic head is increased by forming a plurality of magnetic sensor sections in series within a rectangular area. The control of the magnetic characteristics of the head are controlled for providing less dispersion by providing a substrate on which a magnetic reluctance effect type material varying in electric resistance in response to any magnetic field is formed into a film, the substrate being optionally etched by the use of photolithography to form the magnetic sensor sections, the first lead section and the second lead section on the substrate in given configurations.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a technique of effecting recording on a recording medium by a plurality of recording elements, wherein recording density by the plurality of recording elements is varied. Further, the recording density by the plurality of recording elements is varied in accordance with a time required for electrical transmission of informations to be recorded for definite numbers of scanning lines. For example, when the time required for such electrical transmission is short, the recording is effected by small numbers of the recording elements, while, when the time required for the electrical transmission is long, the recording operation is effected by large numbers of the recording elements, thereby preventing the image quality from lowering.
