  • Patent number: 4743348
    Abstract: A magnetic medium for horizontal magnetization recording which comprises a non-magnetic substrate and a magnetic recording film formed on at least one side of the substrate, is described. The magnetic recording film consists essentially of an amorphous Co-Cr alloy containing from 5 to 15 atomic percent of oxygen atom. A method for making the above type of medium is also described in which the magnetic film is vapor deposited under conditions of a partial pressure of oxygen gas of 1.times.10.sup.-3 to 3.times.10.sup.-3 Torr., and a sputtering rate of from 0.05 to 0.15 .mu.m/minute.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4063043
    Abstract: An intraoffice trunk switching system wherein a connecting path between the called subscriber and the intraoffice trunk is established first; the connecting path between the calling subscriber and the intraoffice trunk to which the called subscriber is connected is then selected so that if no idle channel is available the first connecting path is released and simultaneously therewith the connecting operation between the calling subscriber and the intraoffice trunk is stopped and an idle intraoffice trunk is selected. The connecting path between the called subscriber and the selected intraoffice trunk is established and then the connecting path between the calling subscriber and the selected intraoffice trunk is set to improve the link block ratio of the intraoffice connection.
