  • Patent number: 4909871
    Abstract: A process for producing an information recording disc of an air sandwich structure by ultrasonic welding two disc substrates, at least one of which has a recording medium containing layer, to each other through outer and inner peripheral spacers lying therebetween, which process is characterized in that the outer peripheral spacer is first welded to the disc substrate on one side, the disc substrate on the other side is then superposed through the inner peripheral spacer on said outer peripheral spacer-welded disc substrate turned inside out, and said outer peripheral spacer and disc substrate on the other side, and said inner peripheral spacer and disc substrates on both sides are ultrasonic welded together simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 4834819
    Abstract: A process for producing information recording discs of an air sandwich structure by ultrasonic welding together two disc substrates, at least one of which has a recording medium containing layer, through outer and inner peripheral spacers lying therebetween, which process is characterized in that the ultrasonic welding is carried out by the use of a horn and an anvil which are so designed that each of said horn and said anvil has a difference in height along the axial direction between its portion corresponding to the outer peripheral spacer and its portion corresponding to the inner peripheral spacer, wherein the sum of differences in height of said horn and said anvil corresponds to the difference in thickness between the outer peripheral poritons of said two disc substrates plus the outer peripheral spacer and the inner peripheral portions of said two disc substrates plus the inner peripheral spacer.

  • Patent number: 4654672
    Abstract: A multi-colored recording apparatus comprising a carriage disposed to be movable in the width direction and having a single wire hammer, a ribbon cassette having a plurality of different colored ribbons extending an effective width of the recording sheet, a driving mechanism for causing the ribbon cassette to rotate and bring one colored ribbon in position between the hammer and recording sheet for effecting recording and move the cassette away from the recording sheet after recording, wherein the recorded data is advantageously readily read without interference of the cassette with the reading, and display for displaying a bar graph for the analog signals as represented by the different colored ribbons, wherein the use of only a single hammer with the movable cassette containing the different colored ribbons extending the effective width of the recording sheet provides a compact and light apparatus.

  • Patent number: 4364056
    Abstract: An interactive graphic system is provided for automatically recording lines, symbols or marks by inputting plotting information in a step-by-step mode in an interactive system. The systems comprise a data setter for specifying, among various predetermined graphs, a graph to be plotted and for setting plotting data concerning the graph thus specified, a plotter for providing records in association with input signals, a display for requiring the plotting data inputs, and a controller for suitably controlling the various sections. The system is formed into one unit, so that the plotter can directly plot the necessary records with plotting data given by the data setter, and that the plotting operation is simplified and the system itself is small in size and low in manufacturing cost.
