Patent number: 4717091Abstract: A transparent window member for a tape cassette, which together with a reel pressure spring, forms a subassembly of the cassette. The reel pressure spring has a U-shaped central portion, the bight of the U being parallel to the plane of the spring arms, and the reel pressure spring having a longitudinal edge with two transverse slits spaced the same as the legs of the U of the central portion of the pressure spring. The central portion may thus be transversely inserted in the longitudinal edge of the window member and it thus forms a locating element for the pressure spring.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1984Date of Patent: January 5, 1988Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Schoettle, Paul Deigner, Herbert Dietze, Volker Frank, Oswald Waidele

Patent number: 4201149Abstract: The invention relates to an improved apparatus for the manufacture of magnetic discs carrying very thin magnetic layers, by applying a fluid dispersion of magnetic materials in a binder mixture to rigid base discs by the spin-coating process. Above the side of the base disc which is to be provided with the magnetic layer, there are arranged means which produce an aerodynamic boundary layer above the discs during rotation of the latter. This avoids the formation of surface irregularities and of coating streaks during production of the layer by spin-coating.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1978Date of Patent: May 6, 1980Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eberhard Koester, Paul Deigner, Roland Falk, Karl Uhl, Dieter Schaefer, Dieter Mayer, Herbert Motz, Peter Felleisen

Patent number: 4003336Abstract: A device for manufacturing magnetic recording media in which the magnetic particles in the recording layer are oriented in a preferred direction, the fluid coating applied to the base being subjected to the action of a magnetic field produced in the air gaps between the spaced apart poles of two magnetic circuits, one on each side of the coated face, arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane of the coated base, the edges of the poles adjacent to the coated base terminating in screening elements shaped in such a way that the distance between the surfaces of the screening elements facing the coated base and the coated base itself increases as the screening elements extend away from the edges of the poles. A high degree of magnetic anisotropy in the recording layer can also be obtained when the magnetic circuits are at a relatively large distance from the still fluid magnetic coating.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1975Date of Patent: January 18, 1977Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eberhard Koester, Paul Deigner, Roland Falk, Karl Uhl, Dieter Schaefer

Patent number: 3984763Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the non-destructive measurement of the remanent flux density of magnetic recording media, by recording a specific signal and reproducing the recorded signal by means of two pairs of magnetic recording and playback heads arranged opposite one another and perpendicular to the plane of the recording medium, the ratio of the distance between the individual magnetic heads of each pair of heads to the wavelength of the recorded signal being within a specific range, and the said distance being such that a magnetic recording medium is movable symmetrically between the pair of heads, a common measuring unit being associated with the playback pair. Further features of the device relate to the design of the magnetic recording and playback heads, the measuring unit and the rate at which the particular magnetic recording medium being tested moves between the pairs of heads.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1975Date of Patent: October 5, 1976Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eberhard Koester, Paul Deigner, Roland Falk, Georg Huber, Karl Uhl

Patent number: 3961990Abstract: A process for the manufacture of magnetic materials containing a phase A with a ferromagnetic spin system, of composition Co.sub.x Ni.sub.1.sub.-x and a phase B with an antiferromagnetic spin system of composition (CoO).sub.x (NiO).sub.1.sub.-x , with values of x from 0.05 to 0.96, the phases A and B showing exchange interaction. The materials are manufactured by surface oxidation of starting materials having a ferromagnetic layer, at least on the surface but optionally extending deeper, of composition A, to produce the antiferromagnetic phase B, nitrous oxide being used as the oxidant. Magnetic materials thus obtained have an asymmetrical hysteresis loop, which manifests itself at different temperatures, namely the particular Neel temperature of the phase B, which depends on the composition of the phases which varies in accordance with the values of x.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1974Date of Patent: June 8, 1976Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eberhard Koester, Gerd Wunsch, Paul Deigner, Karl Uhl, Werner Stumpfi, Werner Steck

Patent number: 3959032Abstract: Magnetic materials which essentially consist of a phase A with a ferromagnetic spin system and a phase B with an anti-ferromagnetic spin system, phases A and B interacting by exchange coupling, and the manufacture of such materials. The materials consist essentially of two-phase magnetic single-domain particles, with the alloy [Co.sub.x Ni.sub.1.sub.-x ] as the ferromagnetic phase A and its oxidized form [(CoO).sub.x (NiO).sub.1.sub.-x ] as the anti-ferromagnetic phase B, with values of x of 0.04 to 0.96. They are manufactured by surface oxidation of a pigment layer, which at least covers the surface but may extend deeper, having the composition of phase A, to form an oxide layer, at least 40 A thick, of the phase B, followed by heating in an inert gas atmosphere, or by reduction of a corresponding layer of phase B to a layer of phase A. Magnetic single-domain particles of this composition have a Neel temperature which varies with X.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1974Date of Patent: May 25, 1976Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eberhard Koester, Gerd Wunsch, Paul Deigner, Dieter Graw, Karl Uhl, Werner Steck
