Abstract: A data storage tape cartridge includes a housing having a reel within and rotatably supported by the housing. Two or more data storage tapes are wound up on the same rotary axis of the reel. Each subsequent winding of a first one of the tapes is separated from the previous winding of the first tape by at least another one of the other tapes. A leader pin is attached to a free end of each of the tapes. The leader pins may be connected to one another. The leader pins may be disconnected from one another as part of process for mounting the cartridge in a tape drive.

Abstract: A tape drive system for ensuring tape data integrity by tape surface inspection, the tape drive system being configured for reading and writing data from/to a magnetic tape, is provided. The tape drive system includes a laser inspection unit comprising a sender and a receiver integrated into the tape drive system, wherein the laser inspection unit configured for recognizing a tape defect by scanning the magnetic tape when the tape drive system is in operation. The tape drive system includes a read/write head configured for acting together with the laser inspection unit as sensors for providing sensor data during a read/write operation of the tape drive system, a communication link between the sensors and a controller unit for exchanging sensor data. The controller is configured for evaluating sensor data and for triggering predefined actions based on the respective evaluation results such that the tape data integrity is ensured.

Abstract: A method of operating a road-building machine involves a machine having a chassis with four ground engaging supports and four working cylinders connecting the ground engaging supports to the chassis. A height of the left front and right rear ground engaging supports is adjusted in a first direction. The height of the right front and left rear ground engaging supports is adjusted in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A multi-layer sensor (10) and a use for the sensor (10) are described. This sensor is multi-layered in construction. 5 An optical wave guide (18) is passed through the sensor (10) such that in the event of an external application of force the force acts on the optical wave guide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a road-building machine whose left front wheel (4) or caterpillar, right front wheel (6) or caterpillar, left rear wheel (8) or caterpillar and right rear wheel (10) or caterpillar are connected to the road-building machine chassis by means of an actuating element and are height-adjustable with respect to the road-building machine frame. According to said invention, different actuating elements are rigidly connected to the road-building machine chassis and forcedly coupled to each other in such a way that the left front wheel (4) or caterpillar and the right rear wheel (10) or caterpillar are height-adjustable in the same direction and with respect to the right front wheel (6) or caterpillar and the left rear wheel (8) or caterpillar are adjustable in the opposite directions. The all wheels (4, 6, 8, 10) or caterpillars are equally height-adjustable.

Abstract: The invention relates to new, perfluoroalkyl group-containing triiodoaromatic compounds, process for their production, their use as contrast media for x-ray diagnosis as well as for magnetic resonance diagnosis and magnetic resonance spectroscopy by means of fluorine measurement. Subjects of the invention are also diagnostic agents that contain these new compounds.

Abstract: Non-uniform liquid flows in the curtain limit the process speed and cause defects during coating. These liquid streams are equalized by auxiliary liquids in the curtain holder. If the curtain edge is separated by a free jet of a separating liquid, turbulence in the curtain edge is isolated from the curtain center. The maximum attainable speed is increased. Because the free jet also removes liquid from the curtain in the penetration area, a beaded edge is not generated on the base, and it is possible to coat uniformly thick to the outer edge of the base. The process is especially suitable for making photographic films.
