Abstract: A disk storage device has a simultaneous data transfer head means (2284) having a plurality of data transducer means (2570) for the simultaneous storage and/or retrieval of a plurality of data on a disk means. The device makes it feasible for the simultaneous transfer of data to and from a disk storage device with a storage area formed thereon (2272), thereby increasing the I/O between the processing unit and the storage device. The magnetic data transfer transducer is fabricated on a substrate by thin film techniques with each element, including the head gap, being successively formed on more elements previously formed.

Abstract: A method and system for producing a collimated beam of light having a substantially uniform flux density across the entire beam includes a light source adapted to emit light rays; a light integrator adapted to collimate the light rays and provide a uniform flux intensity; and a pair of reflectors adapted to reflect all of the light from the light source into the light integrator. The light integrator includes a fly-eye arrangement of light pipes. Each light pipe includes a pair of lenses adapted to bend the light rays towards the normal to collimate the light rays. In addition the light pipes may be juxtaposed to produce a collimated light beam having a uniform flux density and a desired geometrical configuration (i.e. rectangular, circular).

Abstract: This invention relates to a three-dimensional image display device comprising two or more parallel elements, each element being formed from a transparent material, each element having a coating formed thereon, the coating including means for reflecting a portion of a beam of light having a selected predetermined orientation of a chosen component of electric field vectors and means for passing the remaining portion of the beam of light. The coating may also include an absorbing means including a dielectric absorbing means for a photo responsive means including a dielectric sensitive means.

Abstract: A night light apparatus and method alters the environment of a room, particularly a darkened room, in response to an audio input such as a child's voice. The apparatus and method is adapted to provide a sense of security to a child in a room in order to improve the child's sleeping habits and reduce or eliminate the child's fear of the dark or the child's fear of being left alone. A predetermined audio level in the darkened room is sensed. If the audio level exceeds a background noise level, a signal is generated and an audio output and a light output are activated. The audio output may include a bedtime story or a soothing song. The light output may include an image such as a cartoon character that is lit. A fire and smoke detector may also be included to activate audio instructions to a child in the event of a fire. The apparatus may be suitably programmed to transmit a signal to a remote location and activate an object warning device and/or a motion generating device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making fiber optic light transfer devices has apparatus to continuously supply a selected number of optical fibers, apparatus to form those fibers into a ribbon and adjust to different wrapping radii of a wrapper. The wrapper is in the form of a rotary wheel on which there is mounted a matrix former and a spaced ribbon former. The end of the ribbon is clamped to the rotary wheel and as the wheel is rotated successive wraps of ribbon are made on aligned U-shaped support surfaces of the formers. A separator is positioned between each ribbon layer in the matrix former and a channel-shaped locator element is positioned on the spaced ribbon former before each ribbon layer is wrapped thereon. A reflective glue is added to the layers in both formers. A clamp clamps the wrapped layers in each former after which they are cured in an oven.

Abstract: A fiber optic light transfer device with variable resolution comprises a plurality of optical fibers arranged at one end thereof as a series of spaced, parallel fiber ribbons. The ribbons are supported in a locator body having a plurality of spaced, parallel slots therein each defined by first, second and third support surfaces and an end surface of the locator body. Each of the slots includes one or more projections selectively spaced along the first support surface for supporting the associated fiber ribbon in the slot such that one or more of the fibers therein are are in a spaced relationship. Preferably, the fiber optic light transfer device includes "n" parallel fiber ribbons each including "n" optical fibers.

Abstract: Light transfer apparatus and method and apparatus for making disclosed includes a screen row clamping assembly that clamps a row of screen units side by side in a straight row with uniform spacing of fiber ribbons between units. A matrix row clamping assembly clamps a row of matrix units side by side in a straight row with uniform spacing of fiber ribbons between units. A pair of alignment rods connect screen units side by side and also connect to alignment ribs on the back of the screen units that interfit end to end and are joined by connecting channels. The alignment rods fasten to terminator bars secured to a screen frame and the ribs are also secured to the screen frame. The rows of matrix units are placed in a matrix frame in which they are held together in a square configuration with uniform spacing between and alignment of fiber ribbons. The matrix ends are cut to a planar surface by a band saw.
