  • Patent number: 6802454
    Abstract: A component has three, two-dimensional arrays that each contain three characters of its nine character, alphanumeric serial number. The first three characters of the serial number must be constant for all parts of this type. As a result, the serial number can be divided among the arrays by using the first character as the first digit in the first array, the second character as the first digit in the second array, and the third character as the first digit in the third array. The remaining characters of the serial number are interleaved in the arrays in the following pattern: the fourth and fifth characters are the second and third digits in the first array, the sixth and seventh characters are the second and third digits in the second array, and the eighth and ninth characters are the second and third digits in the third array.

  • Patent number: 4334656
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically threading web material, e.g., magnetic tape, from a replaceable supply reel to a non-replaceable take-up reel of a web transport device, in which the web path is nonlinear and relatively complex as a result of various components, e.g., magnetic transducer tape guides, which act on the web while it is being transported.The apparatus comprises a coupling device and a mechanism for moving and guiding the coupling device between the supply reel and the take-up reel. The coupling device couples to a leader block attached to the tape at the supply reel. The mechanism moves and guides the coupling device to thread the tape over the predefined tape path and positions the leader block wholly within a radially disposed slot in the hub of the take-up reel. The coupling device remains attached to the moving mechanism and coupled to the leader block when the leader block is rotated with the take-up reel.

  • Patent number: 4320421
    Abstract: Structure for providing a file protect function for a removable cartridge which houses a magnetic recording medium includes a rotary actuator in a sleeve member, the actuator having an outer disk and an inner disk. The actuator may be rotated in the sleeve to either of two positions 180.degree. apart by application of force to the outer disk. The inner disk has an interrupted segment therein, and the rotational position of this interrupted segment controls the enabling or disabling of the circuitry for recording on the magnetic medium.
