The clutch uses friction between two plates to couple the transmission to the movement generated by the engine. Without a mechanism to control this coupling, the transmission and engine would have to stay connected. Braking would then require slowing and stopping the engine itself, and shifting would crunch gears. The clutch, however, allows the transmission to smoothly engage the engine without causing it to stall.Know More
A car's clutch mechanism includes the engine's flywheel and the transmission's clutch plate. The flywheel connects the engine to the starter motor at ignition, but its main function is to transfer torque, or rotating force, from the engine to the transmission. To do this, the flywheel is physically contacted by the clutch plate, which locks the engine and transmission input shaft and causes everything to spin at the same rate. When the clutch pedal is pressed, however, the clutch plate is released from the flywheel.
To protect the two discs and improve contact, the clutch plate is covered with frictional material. This layer should only wear when the clutch plate slides against the flywheel before and after it engages. Thus, drivers should take care not to slip the clutch frequently, as it will wear faster.Learn more about Car Parts & Maintenance
If the car smells like burning rubber, gears shift on their own or it suddenly becomes difficult to press on the pedals, the clutch may need to be replaced. These are the three most prominent warning signs of a bad clutch, claims Mr. Clutch.Full Answer >
Paddle shifters are attached to the steering wheel of a car and allow drivers to manually switch gears without using the clutch. These shifters are mostly found on high-performance sports cars but are becoming more popular on sedans, hybrids and smart cars.Full Answer >
Drive a manual transmission vehicle by practicing with the car off, coordinating use of the clutch pedal with the gearshift and making sure you hit the clutch when you brake. Stick shifts use a third pedal on the floor and a gear shift lever in the middle part of the car to the right of the driver.Full Answer >
To bleed a clutch, step on the clutch pedal, and undo the bleeder valve to allow the fluid to flow out until it slows. Close the valve, and release the pedal. Continue until all air bubbles exit the valve, refilling the reservoir as necessary.Full Answer >

Alice Edun
Alice Edun is a singer who is of Nigerian-Russian descent but makes her home in Milan, Italy. Her musical fortes are in the area of dance and gospel. She is known professionally by her last name she records under, Edun and is signed to eurodance label Off-Limits in Italy and licensed to Robbins Entertainment in the United States.
Edun was born in St. Petersburg to a Nigerian father and Russian mother[1] She studied in Nigeria and graduated from high school in 1993. Edun started singing as a youngster in African gospel choirs. When she moved to Italy, she sang gospel from 1998 onwards and took part in the Milan Gospel Festival in 2003. While all this was happening, Edun was also experimenting with R&B, soul, funk and jazz styles and performed regularly inside and outside Italy. She is a much sought after backing vocalist and has performed with leading Italian artists on tour and for television. She recorded startling and extremely evocative vocals as the soloist and featured artist on the track "WHO'S KNOCKIN'?" by FB feat. Edun. The record contains mixes by Ferry Corsten and Benny Benassi and is released by Dance Therapy, Holland
In 2005, Edun made her first recording debut as the featured vocalist on the track "Who's Knockin?" by FB (AKA Ferry Corsten and Benny Benassi). That same year she also made her solo debut with "Put 'Em Up", a track written by Sannie Carlson and produced by Igor Farvetto. "Put 'Em Up" would end up becoming a sleeper Dance anthem globally two years later, especially in the United States, where "Put 'Em Up" is already her biggest breakthrough hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart, where it peaked at number 2 in its August 25, 2007 issue. "Put 'Em Up" is a featured song on the PlayStation 2 and arcade music game Dance Dance Revolution X.
In August 2010, Edun released a long awaited follow up called "My Love Is Here For You." According to Edun, "It's a dance-pop love song, the kind that relates to everyone who is in love with someone but the other is afraid to love you back." The single was released globably through iTunes.

Title: More on preventing suckers on live oaks in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I just received an oak sprout answer id=6021. I have a followup question. Our sprouts are caused by the motte we live in - 12 live oaks on 1/4 acre. I understand we will have to hand dig 1000s of them :( Once we've gotten the current crop removed what we can do to stop or at least reduce it recurring? The answer is unclear whether preventing the leaves will work for motte (vs acorn) sprouts.
Sigh. That's the problem with answering questions with "no, it can't be done." They come right back wanting a different answer. So, we went back to the Internet and searched on "preventing suckers on live oaks" and guess what we got? One of our own previous answers from 3 years ago, saying basically the same thing we did on this one.
So, we continued to search the Internet for the magic potion that solves this problem without work, and found an article from the Bryan-College Station Eagle, written by Neil Sperry. To quote the relevant portion of that article:
"Use sharpshooter spade to battle live oak suckers
Dear Neil: What can I do to get rid of live oak suckers that are coming up by the hundreds beneath my tree?
A: That's a fault of probably 10 or 15 percent of our live oaks. They vary genetically, and those sprouts are tethered to "mama." Your best bet is to use a sharpshooter spade and angle your cut so that you remove the sprout and as much of its small trunk as you can. You might consider laying a solid vinyl root barrier such as pond liner down over the area after you have removed them, then putting some type of decorative river rock or other heavy mulch to conceal it. Try it on a small area to see how well it works for you. Short of replacing the tree, there just isn't much more you can do."
Frankly, we wouldn't be too thrilled with putting a pond liner over the roots of your trees, because those roots need oxygen and water, too, but maybe it's worth a try. According to Mr. Sperry, it is apparently the variety of live oak that you have that is to blame, which we hadn't heard before, but it makes sense. As we said in the first reply, you can rake up and remove acorns as soon as they fall to avoid the seedlings, but we know of nothing and could find nothing in our research that will inhibit the suckers without harming the tree. As for preventing the leaves, if you remove the sucker so it doesn't create leaves to nourish itself, new suckers will have to continue to depend on the original tree root (which is the sucker's root, too) for nourishment.
Moral: Having live oaks in Texas is wonderful, but not without price.

Cisco Systems (NSDQ: CSCO) has agreed a $183 million (£112.1 million) cash-and-incentives deal to buy London- and California-based online security firm ScanSafe and integrate it to its security division. ScanSafe's largest institutional shareholder Balderton Capital first funded the company upon its launch in 2004 by brothers Eldar and Roy Tuvey. The company, now with 150 staff and customers in 100 countries, counts AT&T (NYSE: T) and Orange among its media industry clients. Cisco says it will make ScanSafe part of its AnyConnect VPN Client product, while it hopes the ScanSafe's data centres will boost its existing "cloud-security" offering. But they will have to wait until Cisco's second quarter early next year for the deal to take place — and it's subject to an unspecified list of closing conditions. Release.

Gallery: Giant Wind Farm Will Link New England and New York Power Grids
Though no offshore wind farms have been completed in the United States to date, there is certainly a lot of talk going around about the farms of the future. In addition to Google's recent initiative to help up the east coast power grid, Deepwater Wind, a new project developer, recently received approval from the state of Massachusetts for a newly planned wind farm. Deepwater Wind has proposed a brand new, 1,000-megawatt wind farm that would link the New England power grid to New York by way of Long Island. Not only would this wind farm link two of the largest energy consuming markets in the country, but it would also have some of the largest wind turbines. The company is proposing 500-foot tall turbines that will form a 270 square mile wind farm.

Electrical home safety: Potential hazards you must address!
| April 15, 2013 | Updated: June 17, 2013 1:08pm
Your home may be your castle, but even the coziest castles can harbor scary secrets—especially when it comes to your electrical system. Wires, circuit breakers, outlets, plugs…even as a longtime homeowner, can you be sure everything is safe and up to code?
"Certain hidden problems—sometimes found in older homes or ones with do-it-yourself renovations—could be putting you in harm's way," warns Dave Borowski, spokesperson for Direct Energy. Here's a checklist of things in your home that might be major electrical dangers.
Wires not properly grounded: All home wiring should have a ground provided: i.e. your circuit breaker box has power supply wires and separate wires that run to a metal rod driven into the ground, so all grounded wiring eventually connects to this "ground" source. The idea? An electrical current always seeks the most efficient pathway to the ground (earth) and grounding provides an easy and safe access route in the event of a product failure. But if any circuit isn'tgrounded, an electrical current can stray away from this intended path, connect to your body instead, and cause serious injury.
Aluminum wiring:It's been illegal in most applications since 1978, but aluminum wiring—cheaper than copper—was popular in the early '70s. Cheaper, yes, but unlike copper, aluminum is soft and malleable; it pulses and becomes loose. "So aluminum wires can easily get overheated; they could burn right into the wall and catch the house on fire, or cause other damages,"Borowski says.
Older homes or homes with remodeled additions: If your home was remodeled anytime in its history, the work may have been done by a do-it-yourself person—or perhaps by a contractor who didn't secure the right permits or follow proper codes. "Maybe someone wanted to enclose a garage, found a plug in the wall, and just stole power from that plug, which is also servicing the living room or bedroom," says Borowski. If all these outlets are connected to one wire, that wire's capacity may be exceeded, and it can overheat.
The wrong size circuit breakers: Circuit breakers are a safety device, designed to trip—or turn off the power to a particular item or outlet—if too much electricity is flowing through a particular wire. Danger can result if there's a mismatch between the size of the circuit breaker and the size of any wire, says Borowski.
"Wires are sized by the amount of amperage (power) they can handle: a #12 wire can handle 15 amps, a #10 will handle 30 amps, and so on. If more than 30 amps go across a #10 wire, a good circuit breaker will trip."
But sometimes a homeowner will see that a 30-amp circuit breaker keeps tripping, so they'll buy a 50-amp breaker to replace it on the same wire. "With that 50-amp circuit breaker, you're allowing too much current to pass through those wires before that breaker trips. As a result, the wire could burst into flames," Borowski says. A tripping breaker is telling you something's wrong, not that a bigger breaker is necessarily needed. It's time to consult an experienced electrician.
Here are signs that you should call in a licensed electrician to inspect or fix things:
- If you suspect your house might have aluminum wiring: "A professional, not the homeowner, would have to remove the electrical panel to find out," says Borowski.
- If your home has been remodeled in the past, and you don't know the history of the renovation;
- If a particular outlet is not functioning or intermittent;
- ANYTIME any appliance or switch is giving you an electric shock;
- If your lights dim when the AC or another appliance comes on—a sign something is drawing too much current;
- If you ever get a burning smell, or seeing lights flickering, in your house; or
- If you keep tripping circuit breakers.

Nobel Prize awarded to scientists for discovering the brain's 'inner GPS' system October 6, 2014 at 9:27 am
2014's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser, and Edvard Moser for their discovery of the brain's 'inner GPS' system. The prize revolves around their discovery of place cells and grid cells in the brain that appear to create a cognitive map of every room or space that you've ever explored. As you move around a room or space, a very specific place cell fires — and when you visit the same place again in the future, the same place cell fires every time.

DARPA's tiny implants will hook directly into your nervous system, treat diseases and depression without medication August 29, 2014 at 10:15 am
DARPA, on the back of the US government's BRAIN program, has begun the development of tiny electronic implants that interface directly with your nervous system and can directly control and regulate many different diseases and chronic conditions, such as arthritis, PTSD, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease), and depression. The program, called ElectRx (pronounced 'electrics'), ultimately aims to replace medication with "closed-loop" neural implants, which constantly assess the state of your health, and then provide the necessary nerve stimulation to keep your various organs and biological systems functioning properly.

The night we choose to dine at the Cappadocia Pide Salonu, for me, was just ok. On a previous night, we had thought to dine at this restaurant, but decided to go elsewhere due to the size of the crowd and the seating selection. Therefore, we assumed that with such a large gathering, the food must be rather good. Not being an adventurous eater, I didn't try the pide. I was rather impressed with the way in which was served, but choose something else. So my experience was not that spectacular.
Even more disappointing was the service. After being seated, we had to wait for several minutes before the waitor took our orders. I was a little disappointed at this because there weren't that many patrons in the restaurant.

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of a patent award on June 19, 2012, Vector Technologies, LLC has been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule Contract Number GS-29F-0009Y, further solidifying Vector Technologies' position as the leader in secure PED countermeasures storage solutions.
Positioned to be the Leader in PED Security Management Systems
As NSA has stated, anyone carrying a PED, such as a cell phone, is also unknowingly carrying an eavesdropping device. For this reason, the US Federal Government has mandated a requirement to secure Portable Electronic Devices (PED) introduced into classified processing areas. Some of the guiding policies:
- DoD 5200.1-R, "Information Security Program"
- DoD Directive 8100.02, "Use of Commercial Wireless Devices, Services and Technologies in the Department of Defense (DoD) Global Information Grid (GIG)"
- NSTISSAM TEMPEST 2-95A, "Amendment to Advisory Memorandum TEMPEST 2/95, Red/Black Installation Guidance" FOUO
- DoD Portable Electronic Device (PED) Policy FOUO
- NSA recommended countermeasures guidance for the storage of PEDs introduced into classified processing areas-"You Brought the Bug" briefings.
- ICD/ICS 705, "Technical Specifications for Construction and Management of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities."
Vector Technologies' suite of PED countermeasures boxes offers the only solution available to both government and private sectors that has been independently, third-party tested to ensure that it meets the most stringent testing requirements. Patented and DIA approved, the Guardian G2 and Vector's other countermeasures boxes provide unmatched protection against the threats posed by PEDs in secure spaces or high level corporate environments. Recently, Vector Technologies was awarded a contract to outfit Washington Headquarter Services with our Guardian G2 countermeasures boxes, beating out several other companies touting secure PED storage containers. After rigorous vetting, Vector Technologies was selected due to the overwhelming amount of data supporting the unmatched effectiveness of our Guardian G2 countermeasures boxes.
Vector Technologies, LLC Patented PED Countermeasures Boxes
Vector Technologies PED Countermeasures Boxes provide RF shielding, passive and active sound masking and built in charging for stored PEDs. The boxes are designed to rest easily on desktops or countertops. When PEDs are placed within one of Vector Technologies' locked countermeasures boxes, all three of the threats (video, audio and RF transmission) are mitigated. The Guardian G2 is designed to hold up to 40 PEDs with a reconfigurable bay to accommodate electronic devices ranging in size from cell phones to laptops.
About Vector Technologies, LLC
Since 2003, Vector Technologies has provided best-in-class Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) services and products. Our company is comprised of former US military members with specialized skills in the areas of Counterintelligence, TSCM, Information Security and Technical Security Engineering. This background has aided Vector Technologies' development of a patented countermeasures solution that exceeds NSA's recommendations for PED storage in classified environments. Vector Technologies' products are all manufactured in the USA. For more information regarding Vector's patented PED countermeasures solutions, contact us at:

This stuff is awesome! I am a mascara junkie and no stranger to paying big bucks for high end brands. No more! I will keep my Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes when I want a waterproof mascara but this will now be my "go to" mascara for everyday wear. Is $2.99 and delivers so much more than the $20.00+ brands on the market.

I bought this cheap ($2.99) mascara based on the mostly glowing reviews. I already have long lashes and I generally look for a mascara that will give me a little extra volume. Apparently Jordana thinks "volume" = "spidery clumpy mess" because that's exactly the look that this gives me. I gave it a few tries but I found the formula too be too thick, making my lashes look gross, clump together and then get crunchy. Not a good look. This is just a big mess in my opinion, although I do think the packaging is cute.

I bought this after seeing so many people raving about this I figured it is a dollar why not. Well for me you get what you pay for it looked clumpy and it smudged yet took so much work to remove which was baffling. After two months I threw it away it just never seemed to work new or old. The hunt goes on.

I really can't get with this mascara. Something about it just isn't right to me. I like very natural, light, feathery black or brown lashes. This makes my lashes look like a clumpy mess and it feels so heavy on them. It smudges and maybe I got a bad batch? But it was only $.99 so not a loss at all. But I will not be repurchasing.

So i bought this mascara finally after seeing a couple of beauty vloggers talk about it and I got the courage to buy! I LOVE IT! seriously beats all the other mascaras ive tried definitely makes my lashes POP! like I like them too i just really wish i was waterproof only reason why im not giving it 5 lipsticks!!

Best mascara ever. After I applied one coat of this mascara I could already see a dramatic difference. The packaging is pretty cute too; a nice simple black tube with purple writing. I only wish it was waterproof. If you cry or swim this runs like crazy. Still the best mascara I have ever used!

I can see why this mascara gets great reviews, it's pretty darn cheap and it does a good job (especially considering the price!). I don't think it's the BEST drug store mascara out there, but it's certainly the best macara in it's price point out there.
I personally never had a problem with smudging with this mascara, but it did take some scrubbing to get it off (even using waterproof mascara remover which I felt was a little weird).
For me the bottom line is this - if you need a decent, inexpensive mascara, give it a shot.

Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Olive, Not Sure

I don't understand the great reviews. When I wear this I ALWAYS end up with black marks under my eyes. I can't wear it without looking like a raccoon after a few hours. I threw it out.

Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I've been wearing this mascara every day for the past year or two, and I will continue to wear it. I have a good set of lashes, somewhat full, not too short, and I care more about volume than length. My eyes are round and my eyelashes get close to my eyebrows when my eyes are open. My lashes have rows; I want to coat the front lashes and the back. Smudging is the purest mascara evil in my opinion. This mascara satisfies all of my major wants. I can afford it (it's cheap!), I get good volume, I can coat all of my lashes, and it doesn't smudge (except for in truly hot and humid conditions - will any mascara persevere?). The one thing I really wish were different was the color. It's a basic black, and I would love for it to be a black black black black. I would also like it to have more shine; it's a pretty matte black.
Brush: It's a classic mascara brush. Nothing fancy, but it works to get through my lash layers. It's also small enough to go behind the back and do the lower lashes. I keep the brush when I throw out the tube. I like them better than spoolies I can buy.
Clumps: I apply this the same as any other mascara: I put it on and then comb through my lashes with a lash comb. I love Tweezerman's lash comb. As such, I don't care too much about clumps because I'll comb them out. I think the brush helps avoid clumps because it is dense. Other volume mascara wands are bigger and have more space between bristles. I don't find this mascara formula to be overly clumpy, but it could bother someone who is avidly against clumping out of the tube.
Flakes: This does flake, but I am not bothered by it. I find the tips of my lashes can get bare and I may have little mascara flakes on my face. I do a touch-up coat if I'm being picky, and the mascara flakes are dry so it's easy to brush off.
Smudges: It doesn't smudge overall. I always wear it on my lower lashes. It can smudge if it's hot and humid or if I put an excessive amount of liquid/cream product under my eyes. I conceal my undereyes everyday, so it takes a lot of product to get it to smudge.
Formula: It's not really wet, and it's not really dry. It does dry out after a couple of months.
Layering: I don't really layer mascaras because it gets so fussy, but I have layered this with other mascaras successfully.
Price: I tend to not think of me being cheap, but I guess I am. I get this for $3-4 at Walgreens and K-Mart, and I continue to buy it. I love it. If the price were to raise, however, I would probably jump to another drugstore brand to see about getting a better color, or I would just go high-end. I would rather pay $30 for some delicious mascara than pay $7 for this. It's weird to say that, but it's true.
I recommend anyone to try it. It performs well, and I'm happy with the way my eyes look. I have several drugstore mascaras, have used many more, and I recommend this above any of them.

I almost hate to ask, but who needs a two-pack of MP3 carriers? Really, how many people out there have two identical MP3 players that they need carrying cases for? There is a reason that this is on clearance.
The Nike MP3 cases were found to contain high levels of lea…er, uh…quality!!
That being said I'm in for two.

A magnetic tape recording and reproducing apparatus has a head assembly comprising a plurality of transducing heads, and guide means arranged so that the heads are spaced apart by a distance which is great enough so that only one head is affected by a blemish or dust speck on the tape but yet gives an ability to follow tracks on the tape which are closely packed. The guide means and the heads are disposed so that when the tape is transported across the heads, the heads follow paths which are parallel to the edges of the tape and each head is in contact with a position of the tape spaced apart in the direction of movement of the tape. In one embodiment, the heads are horizontally disposed and the tape is guided over the heads at an acute angle to the horizontal. In another embodiment, the heads form part of an annulus and the tape is wound helically round a support drum.
1. A magnetic tape recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising
(a) a transducer head assembly including an array of transducer heads;
(b) a loop of magnetic tape;
(c) drive means for transporting said magnetic tape past said head assembly in a first direction, said transducer head assembly being mounted for movement in a second direction generally transverse to said first direction;
(d) guide means for guiding the magnetic tape past said head assembly, said guide means being disposed relative to the array of heads to guide the tape at an acute angle past the heads and to cause said transducer heads to simultaneously engage respective portions of the magnetic tape that are spaced apart in said first direction of movement of the tape and that are spaced apart in said second direction transverse to said first direction of movement, whereby a separate track is traced by each head simultaneously on the tape and each track is substantially parallel to the edges of the tape for at least a portion of the length of the track;
(e) means for causing non-rotational relative movement between said head assembly and said tape in said second direction;
(f) means for supplying data to be recorded to said array of transducer heads; and
(g) means for supplying a tracking control signal to one of said transducer heads for recording a tracking control signal on a track that is arranged between a pair of tracks.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said loop of magnetic tape is provided with means for indicating when one complete pass of the tape has been made; and further wherein said means for causing non-rotational relative movement comprises a drive motor connected with said head assembly for transversely moving the head assembly, and further including means for sensing said indicating means on the tape, and means controlling operation of said drive means in response to said sensing means.
3. Apparatus acording to claim 1, wherein the transducer head assembly comprises a plurality of sets of transducer heads, each set comprising a plurality of heads spaced apart generally in the direction of movement of the tape, the sets being spaced apart in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the tape.
4. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, and further including detecting means connected with the transducer head which is replaying the track containing the tracking control signal, said detecting means being connected to said drive means for transporting said loop of tape and being arranged to control the speed of tape transport in response to detection of said tracking control signal.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4, and further including additional detecting means connected with the transducer heads on either side of that transducer head which is replaying the track containing the tracking control signal, said detecting means being arranged to detect cross-talk signals from the track containing the tracking control signal and comprising means for detecting the amplitude of the cross-talk signals in each of the tracks on either side of the track containing the tracking control signal, means for comparing the amplitudes of the cross-talk signals and for producing a control signal, and means for supplying said control signal to said means for causing non-rotational relative movement for optimizing the tracking of the head assembly.
6. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the transducer heads are linearly disposed generally in said first direction and the guide means are disposed on either side of the head assembly for guiding the tape of the assembly at an acute angle relative to the line of the heads.
7. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the transducer heads form part of a stationary annular head assembly located on the periphery of a drum member, the tape being wound round the drum member in a helical manner.
The present invention relates to apparatus for recording information on and/or reproducing information from a magnetic member.
The information is recorded in the form of digital signals and it is convenient to describe the present invention in relation to its use for digital signals derived from an analogue signal, such as an audio and/or video signal. For some purposes the audio or video signals will advantageously be converted to digital form before recording and after playback converted back into an analogue signal.
Digital apparatus has already made an impact on broadcast systems usually as part of what is still essentially an analogue system. Already, digital techniques are being used for time-base correction in video tape recorders.
A tape recorder to record a video signal in digital form would require a high total bit-rate, of the order of 80 to 120 Megabit/sec for a 625 line PAL colour signal sampled at 2 or 3 times sub-carrier frequency. This assumes 8 bit pulse code modulation (PCM) to carry the information and a ninth bit for error detection purposes.
It is desirable that the use of digital techniques should not result in an increase of tape consumption compared to that of analogue recorders. A reasonable consumption would be about 12 square inches of tape per second. For a bit density along a track of 30 kilobits per inch about 220 tracks per inch would be required for a total bit density of 80 Megabits per 12 square inches. A centre-to-centre spacing between tracks of about 4.5 thousandths of an inch is therefore required. A track width of 0.003 inch with a guard band of 0.0015 inch would be appropriate. It has been found that a track width of 0.003 inch is more than sufficient to give an adequate signal-to-noise ratio for satisfactory operation with binary digital signals. In fact, the track width could be of the order of 0.0005 inch if the head could be made to follow the track accurately.
It is also desirable to have at least several heads in contact with the tape simultaneously since the effect of an isolated blemish or speck of dust which may lift the tape from operative contact with one head will result in only a small fraction of the data being lost at any time. This makes error correction more practical. To obtain this advantage, an isolated blemish or speck of dust should not be able to lift the tape from operative contact with more than one head at any time. An isolated blemish or dust speck is unlikely to lift an area of more than 0.1 inch diameter from operative contact with heads; this diameter is a function of the tape tension and the geometry of the heads. It is desirable therefore that heads should be separated by not less than about 0.1 inch but sometimes a compromise has to be reached due to other conflicting requirements.
Conventional multi-track high density recorders have a plurality of heads in a head stack with a separation which is often less than desirable between heads in each head stack. In spite of the proximity of the heads, the conventional recorders would require about 15 head stacks for a one inch wide tape in order to achieve the necessary total bit rate. Typically each head stack occupies about one inch along the tape which not only would result in a large recorder but considerable problems would arise in guiding the tape over such a large number of head stacks.
The purpose of this invention is to overcome or at least mitigate these problems, and the present invention provides magnetic tape recording and playback apparatus, comprising a transducer head assembly and guide means for guiding the tape as it passes the head assembly, the head assembly being provided with a plurality of transducer heads and the head assembly and guide means being arranged so that the tape is moved over the head assembly in such a manner that each head contacts a portion of the tape spaced apart in the direction of movement of the tape.
In a preferred embodiment, there are at least three heads and preferably more with each head being spaced from adjacent heads by at least 0.039 inch. Further, a plurality of head assemblies are combined such that each head assembly is spaced from the next in a direction generally transverse to the direction of movement of the tape.
Features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments thereof, given by way of example, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a part of a linear array of magnetic recording/playback heads and the form that the information is recorded on a magnetic tape;
FIG. 2 shows a variation on the realization of the array;
FIG. 3 shows how the azimuth may be altered;
FIG. 4 shows an erase and recording/playback assembly used in conjunction with a magnetic tape which follows a helical path;
FIG. 5 shows a cross-section of such an assembly;
FIG. 6 shows a two-dimensional record/playback assembly incorporating erase;
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the form of the signal recorded on the magnetic tape;
FIG. 9 shows diagrammatically a part of a tape recorder according to the present invention; and
FIG. 10 shows diagrammatically one way of storing magnetic tape.
Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a part of a head assembly suitable for either recording on or playing back tracks 14p, 14q, 14r on a magnetic tape 15 shown in phantom and moving in the direction indicated by the arrow it is assumed that recording is occuring. The assembly generally indicated by the reference numeral 10 comprises a plurality of heads 12p, 12q, 12r arranged in a linear array and constituted by sections 10p, 10q, 10r, 10s of a single member made of a ferromagnetic material, for example ferrite. Each section 10p, 10q, 10r, 10s comprises two spaced apart portions. One end of each space between portions forms a head gap 13p, 13q, 13r respectively and is arranged to be adjacent the tape 15 while the other end of each space between portions is bridged by a winding 11p, 11q or 11r. In a record mode, currents are caused to flow in one direction or the other through the windings 11p, 11q, 11r causing magnetic fields adjacent to the gaps 13p, 13q, 13r which magnetize the tape, laying down tracks 14p, 14q, 14r on the moving tape 15; the direction of flow of current in any one winding depending, at any time, on whether a `one` or a `zero` is to be recorded on that track at that time, this controls the direction of magnetization. In a replay mode, the changes of flux on the moving tape cause changes of flux through the windings inducing signals in the windings 11p, 11q, 11r, the polarity of the signal depending on whether the flux on the tape changes from that representing a `one` to that representing a `zero` or vice versa. Depending on the magnetic characteristics of the parts 10p, 10q, 10r, 10s and on their geometry it may be desirable to introduce slots such as 16p to minimize crosstalk between heads. The effect of such slots may be improved by inserting a good electrical conductor through them; an alternative solution is to form a loop of a good conductor through a hole as at 16r. The head gaps are at least 0.039 inch apart, and preferably 0.1 inch apart, and the angle of the tape with respect to the heads ensures that a guard band of 0.0015 inch is provided.
FIG. 2 shows an alternative method of producing a linear array by mounting individual heads on a flat surface. Like reference numerals are used for like parts. It will be realized, by those skilled in the art, that for a strictly linear array additional means, not shown, will be required to guide and transport the tape and to keep it in operative contact with the heads; this last requirement could be met say by pressure pads or differential air pressure. The head assembly could also be in the form of an annulus for use with rotating drum type of recording and playback apparatus.
As represented in FIG. 1, the tape 15 and the head assembly are at an angle to each other so that each head is adjacent a different section of tape, the angle determining the spacing between tracks. It is usual to arrange that the normal to the plane of the head gap should be parallel to the length of the track. Since the tape and heads are at an angle to each other, this may be required for some applications of the present embodiments. This may be realized as shown in FIG. 3. The angle of rotation from that previously described (shown at A) is easily calculable, relatively small and is unlikely to exceed 10 degrees. It should be realized that this change can be incorporated also in the apparatus, yet to be described, in the other figures.
FIG. 4 shows part of a particular embodiment of a tape recorder in which the head assembly is included in a drum 20, the magnetic tape 21 indicated in broken lines being would round it in the form of a helix. The drum 20 is constructed from two hollow cylindrical parts 27 and 28, the junction between the parts forming an opening receiving an annular head assembly. The construction of the drum will not be described in more detail as it is conventional and well known to those skilled in the art. The head assembly is held stationary. As shown, the tape winds slightly more than one turn round the drum but it is obvious that this is not necessary since it can be arranged that the recording and playback heads, such as 23c, 23d, 23e, 23f, 23g, etc., do not appear all the way round the periphery of the drum. In order to prevent the tape from sticking to the drum, under static conditions, it may be desirable to have a microscopically rough surface for parts 27 and 28, or preferably to float the tape over the drum on a very thin air cushion. This may be achieved by introducing air under pressure at appropriate positions around the top of part 28 and additionally near bottom of part 27.
The head assembly further comprises an erase head 29 consisting of a ferrite ring with an external slot 29a containing a winding is mounted close to but below the record/playback heads and separated therefrom by a non-magnetic spacer 30.
FIG. 5 shows part of the cross-section of the drum 20 shown in FIG. 4. The bottom 27a of the upper part 27 may advantageously be slightly concave or conical and the top 30a of the spacer 30 can be similarly shaped. These individually or collectively increase the thickness of the magnetic circuit compared to that of the pole-tips 34 resulting in greater strength and lower losses. Also shown are the windings 31g, 31a of two of the record/playback heads 23g, 23a respectively, the erase head 29 and the lower cylinder 28.
FIG. 6 shows a head stack comprising a two dimensional array of heads which is an alternative to the arrangement shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and in which 44a,b,c, d and e, 54a,b,c,d and e and 64a,b,c,d and e are each one dimensional linear arrays constructed as previously described in relation to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Erase heads 48,58 and 68 are disposed such that they wipe the area of tape to be used for recording by heads 44,54 and 64 respectively. In this case, the tape 45 is arranged to traverse the head stack at an angle to the linear arrays of heads. Hence, the erase heads are vertically and horizontally displaced from the record and playback heads. Different arrangements are used depending on the disposition of the tape viz a viz the record/playback heads. The erase heads 48 and 58 are shown as being a single head but it is possible for each erase head to be constituted by an array of erase heads for individually erasing tracks to be re-recorded by the record heads of an array. This is indicated for the erase head 68 which comprises an array of erase heads 68a,b,c,d,e. This may be useful to only erase a digital sound signal when, for example, it requires to be replaced by one in a different language. At other times all the tracks containing the digital video signal may need to be replaced when, for example, a microphone appears inadvertently in the picture; the picture could perhaps be replaced by that shot from a different camera position. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art how the record/replay and erase heads should be split up depending on, for example, how a particular recorder is likely to be used, the bit rate requirement of each sound channel and the bit rate capability of each track. It may often prove advantageous to split a sound channel, for example, between a plurality of tracks, greater than that apparently necessary, in order to achieve satisfactory error correction or concealment.
The path of the tape 45 slants such that each head records tracks which are substantially equi-spaced from one another.
FIG. 7 shows the form of the signal recorded on the magnetic tape (as viewed through the tape base) using the head assembly shown in FIG. 4, whereas FIG. 8 shows the form resulting from the head assembly illustrated in FIG. 6. The positions of the left hand boundaries of the recorded tracks show where the recording has reached at a specific time. From this it can be seen that corresponding times on the several tracks are adequately separated positionally so that an isolated blemish or speck of dust cannot remove the tape from operative contact with more than one head at any time; this simplifies the problem of error detection and correction.
As was mentioned previously, it is desired to record about 220 tracks per inch width of track. Theoretically, this is possible in a single pass of tape past the recording/playback heads while still having the heads physically spaced apart by a suitable amount but the apparatus tends to be bulky and it is not thought at present to be practicable except perhaps for the drum-type recorder.
A more practical solution is to use a continuous loop of tape of a convenient length and to record only a portion of the 220 tracks in a single pass thereby necessitating multiple passes of tape in order to record 220 tracks per inch width. Apparatus constructed to carry out this approach is shown in FIG. 9 and a cartridge for storing the tape is shown in FIG. 10.
FIG. 9 shows a part of a high density video tape recorder. A loop of magnetic tape 111 is guided past a head stack 113 by tape guides 101, 102, 103 and 104. These latter three are intended to give precision guidance to the lower edge of the tape the upper part of each guide being spring loaded downwards. The tape may be guided across the head stack in the same manner as described with reference to FIG. 1 or 6. Alternatively the plane containing the centres of the heads may be tilted to separate one track from another. During the record mode the tape 111 is pulled past the record/replay head stack 113 at constant speed by means of a take-up capstan 108 driven by a motor 109, a pinch wheel 110 keeping the tape pressed tightly against the capstan.
A jockey roller 114 monitors the tape tension adjacent to it for controlling the speed of a motor 106 which drives a feed capstan 105. A pinch wheel 107 keeps the tape pressed tightly against this capstan. The jockey roller 114 in addition to moving in and out in response to tape tension changes may also move vertically and the bearings may rotate on gimbals to permit the tape to be constrained substantially kinematically by the guides 102 and 103.
The head stack 113 contains 16 heads each laying down a track which it is of the order of 0.0008 inch (20μ) with a guard band of 0.0002 inch (5μ) between tracks. Each time the splicing tape 112, which is aluminized, passes a sensing station, light from a light emitting device in the form of a lamp 116 is reflected on to a light detecting means in the form of a photo-sensor 117. A signal is generated when the photo-sensor 117 detects the reflected light and this signal is fed to a control circuit 118 for controlling operation of a head stack drive motor 115. When the motor 115 is started the head stack is moved by a distance equal to the width of tape already recorded, in this case by nominally 0.016 inch. For a 1 inch tape this is repeated over 60 times before the upper edge of the tape is reached.
If 10 bits per word are used then 252 of the 256 combinations which occur with 8 bit words may be chosen so that every 10 bit word has five `ones` and of course five `zeroes.` When an analogue video signal is sampled at twice PAL subcarrier frequency, one track is left unused and the bit-rate per track is approximately 6 Mbit/s becoming 5 Mbit/s if the line blanking interval is not recorded. At 120 inch per second tape speed the bit density is 50 or 41 kilo-bits/inch respectively.
The use of the code mentioned above is particularly advantageous in that the low frequency components of the recorded signal are severely restricted. This minimizes the inter-track cross-talk which should be about 30 dB down on the wanted signal. This is adequate for binary signals. On the unused track, which should be near the centre of the group of 16, say track 8, a timing and tracking reference is recorded. This may be a line frequency, 15625 Hz sine wave. This will cross-talk severely into the adjacent tracks 7 and 9 but since this frequency does not overlap the signal spectrum it may be removed by filtering. For tracking purposes however its amplitude on tracks 7 and 9 may be compared and depending on the sign of this comparison motor 115 may be rotated in the appropriate direction to equalise the cross-talk. Tracking will then be optimum. In order to achieve a more rapid initial pull-in to the correct position the level of this cross-talk could be summed for heads 1 to 7 and compared with the sum for heads 9 to 15.
Having obtained correct tracking the recorded timing reference is now available from track 8. This may be compared with a reference produced from a local horizontal synchronizing signal in a phase comparator. The output of this phase comparison is used to control the speed of rotation of motor 109 causing the tape to move at the correct speed. Additional signals such as the field and individual line from which the signals arise can be recorded on track eight and these may be used to progressively alter the phase of the reference until complete synchronization is achieved.
The path traced by each head is parallel to the edges of the tape for the major portion of the length of the path with an angled transitional portion for the next pass of the loop of tape past the heads. As an alternative, the paths could be at a small angle to the edges of the tape whereby the paths are helical and there is no transitional portion.
FIG. 10 shows in principle one way of storing the magnetic tape; this particular solution also allows winding backwards. The tape material, the surface finish and the other materials used must be chosen with care to minimize friction and in particular to avoid static charges. A loop of 600 feet will take 1 minute to pass once past the magnetic heads and just over the hour before it is fully recorded. By forcing motor 115 to rapidly rotate and thus move the head stack rapidly any part of the recording may be accessed in a maximum of about one minute. This is significantly faster than conventional recorders which can take about four minutes.
