Abstract: The electrical isolation circuit of the present disclosure includes a switch coupled between the DC power source and the electrical application and a comparator for controlling the switch by receiving inputs from the DC power source and the electrical application. The comparator causes the switch to switch ON when the DC power source has a higher voltage than the electrical application allowing the normal operation of the electrical application. However, when the electrical application has a higher voltage than the DC power source, the comparator causes the switch to switch OFF thereby preventing flow of current from the electrical application to the DC power source.

Abstract: A recording medium for information signals including a substrate, a signal recording layer provided on one major surface of the substrate and a clamp member having a positioning unit at its center portion and formed of a material that can be magnetically attracted by a magnet. The clamp member is unified to the center portion of the substrate so that the surface of the clamp member will be flush with the substrate surface.

Abstract: Means providing stationary images have associated therewith sound related to each of the images. A plural number of non-translatable magnetic heads are used in conjunction with a control circuit so as to extend the recording time by enabling the recording or reproducing of independent sound tracks, one sound track per head, and switching such heads in sequence at end of each record or reproduce period. The control circuit may be electronic or electromechanical.

Abstract: An electromagnetic transducer in the form of a single wire shaped as a one-turn helix records a signal pattern on a web of magnetic material. The portion of the web including the recorded signal pattern thereafter passes opposite a magnetic fluid layer to provide an optical display.
