  • Patent number: 4418471
    Abstract: A method of producing a stator yoke of a motor such as an inner rotor type stepper motor, the yoke having a multiplicity of polar teeth. The method has the steps of forming an intermediate blank which has an outer cylindrical portion and an inner cylindrical portion projecting in the same direction, effecting a shearing on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion to cut out a multiplicity of polar teeth arranged at a constant pitch, and effecting a punching to deepen and widen portions between the bases of adjacent polar teeth.

  • Patent number: 4382839
    Abstract: A new method for preparation of Mn-Zn or Ni-Zn type ferrite single crystals. The ferrite materials are provided in a lower portion of a crucible and completely dissolved. The crucible is moved within a predetermined atmosphere of temperature gradient. A solid which is equilibrium in composition to the ferrite materials is supplied into the crucible while the dissolved ferrite materials are crystallizing from the lower extremity while a liquid-phase zone is maintained constant in depth. Ferrite single crystals of at least about 800 mm in length are grown which are homogeneous in composition throughout their length.

  • Patent number: 4376961
    Abstract: A magnetic drum/head system for selectively reproducing voice information recorded on the magnetic drum. The magnetic drum has a recording zone in which predetermined voice information is recorded in each track thereof and a non-recording zone between a starting end of the recording zone and a terminating end of the same. In case of a track selection, the magnetic drum is held still so that the non-recording zone is in a confronting relation to the magnetic head, and the magnetic head is driven to move along the non-recording zone to the selected track. The magnetic drum is then rotated to reproduce the selected voice information.
