The inorganic particle and the polymer are bonded to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording and reproducing a digital video signal on and from a common recording medium by using the head configuration common to the conventional one while maintaining exchangeability with the current analog VTR. An analog video and audio signals are recorded and reproduced on and from an video track and an underlying deep-layer track, respectively, by means of magnetic heads and magnetic heads. On the other hand, a digital video and audio signal is recorded and reproduced on and from two adjacent tracks by means of the magnetic heads for analog audio recording. During reproduction, an identification signal generating circuit generates an identification signal for discriminating a recorded signal, and a control signal is PWM modulated with the identification signal and recorded on a control track by means of a magnetic head.

Abstract: A rotary magnetic head apparatus comprises a transformer core, including a rotor core and a stator core, a rotary drum, a stationary drum, and magnetic heads provided in the outer peripheral portion of the rotary drum. Signal transmission coils are disposed in a plurality of grooves formed concentrically in a surface of the core to transmit signals to and from the magnetic heads. Windings of each of the coils are positioned and lined with a flexible insulating layer so as to keep their mutual positional relation unchanged. The insulating layer is removed from the coil at portions corresponding to starting and terminating ends of the winding thereof. The insulating layer is bonded to the bottoms of the grooves. Through holes are formed in the core at positions corresponding to the starting and terminating end portions of the windings of the coil.

Abstract: A flying erase head for flying erasing which is used for improving the picture quality is provided on a rotating drum so as to be spaced substantially 180 degrees from the video head having first and second video head chips integrally fixed on a video head base. Therefore, a high picture-quality helical scan type magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus can be provided which is able to prevent the picture quality from being deteriorated by the vibration of the video head due to the rotation, and to satisfactorily make the over-writing on the tape and the assemble mode operation upon recording.

Abstract: A rotary magnetic head device and a rotary transformer used therefor are disclosed. A pair of througholes, through which the starting extremity and the ending extremity of each of a plurality of coil conductors disposed on the rotor core and the stator core constituting the rotary transformer are led to the respective rear surfaces, are linked by a linking slit. Alternatively one throughhole, through which both the starting extremity and the ending extremity of each of the coil conductors are led, is divided into two throughholes by disposing therein a non-magnetic partitioning member having a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of the magnetic body within a region of 15%.

Abstract: A rotary magnetic head device utilizes a thin film magnetic head or heads having small mutual influence to external magnetic field in combination with a bulk magnetic head or heads to reduce crosstalk between recording head and reproducing head to thereby improve S/N ratio.

Abstract: A multiplex recording/reproducing system with at least four video signal recording/reproducing magnetic heads mounted on a rotating body with a predetermined interval in the direction of rotation of the rotating body. At least four audio signal recording/reproducing magnetic heads are mounted on the rotating body, alternately with the video signal recording/reproducing magnetic heads. The magnetic tape is forwarded while being wrapped on the rotating body over a region extending at least a multiple of the predetermined interval. Recording/reproducing circuits record and reproduce the video signal and the audio signal while switching over the video signal and the audio signal recording/reproducing magnetic heads in a predetermined order for every predetermined period.

Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic head formed of a thin metal film in which a metal magnetic film in the form of a chevron is formed on a substrate, and two half cores in each of which the apex portion of the chevron-shaped metal magnetic film is flattened are integrated in such a manner as to face each other with a gap member placed therebetween, the magnetic head comprising a desired track width not more twice thicknesses d.sub.1, d.sub.2 of the metal magnetic film on both sides of the apex portion, and the following formula is met:0.74.ltoreq.d.sub.2 /d.sub.1 .ltoreq.1.35.

Abstract: In a magnetic head employing a metallic ferromagnetic material for portions defining a transducing gap, an oxide film or carbide film and a nonmagnetic metal film are provided in this order on each of track width narrowing grooves, and glass is packed on the nonmagnetic metal film, thereby preventing the deteriorations of magnetic characteristics ascribable to the reaction between the metallic ferromagnetic material and the glass and the production of bubbles ascribable to the reaction between the protective films and the glass, and to achieve the enhancements of recording and reproducing characteristics, the prevention of damages to a recording medium surface, the increase of a head lifetime and the rise of the available percentage of manufacture of the heads. When a glass film is further provided on the nonmagnetic metal film and the glass is packed thereon, more excellent effects are achieved.
