Abstract:
A bolt having a shank and integral head has a strip of photoelastic material mounted in the head for manifesting in the form of photoelastic fringes linearly related to bolt tension the bending stresses created in the head during loading of the bolt. To determine the tension in the bolt during or after loading, polarized light is directed toward the photoelastic strip and reflected light from the strip is analyzed to measure fringe order. The fringe order is related to the amount of bending stresses in the head of the bolt by a predetermined calibration curve, the bending stresses being linearly related to bolt tension.
Abstract:
A method of making a magnetic transducer head or element thereof from a binary alloy of silicon and iron, preferably containing from about 3 percent to 7 percent of silicon by weight, including provision of a grain-oriented silicon-iron core, annealing the core at a temperature above the Curie point in a dry hydrogen atmosphere and during cooling from that temperature subjecting the core piece to a magnetic field applied in the direction of the working flux at the core. The annealed core piece is formed so as to provide a gap-defining face for coupling to a magnetic record medium, the gap being of the order of about 1 micron.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for transducing a plurality of video signals on a record medium by interlacing recorded fields of different signals along a channel, and using a series of scanners or a scanner with shiftable scanning beam for repeatedly reproducing each recorded field, or using a scanner and a repeater device to reproduce and repeat each recorded signal, and thus provide for display of a continuous sequence of fields, while using much less record medium for a given program.

A PORTABLE BULK DEMAGNETIZER HAVING A SHAFT RECEIVING A REEL OF MAGNETIC TAPE WHICH IS ROTATED TO MOVE SUCCESSIVE RADIAL SEGMENTS OF THE TAPE THROUGH AN ALTERNATING POLARITY MAGNETIC FIELD, THE SHAFT BEING PROGRESSIVELY MOVED AXIALLY TO MOVE THE RECORD MEDIUM AWAY FROM THE MAGNETIC FIELD SOURCE WITH SUFFICIENT UNIFORMITY TO EFFECTIVELY DEMAGNETIZE THE TAPE.
Abstract:
An electron beam head for reproducing magnetically recorded video signals wherein magnetic fields from the record medium are channeled to the interior of the envelope to deflect the primary electrons transversely to the scanning direction of the beam. In one embodiment, the sensing electrodes are at opposite sides of the magnetic field region at an end wall of the envelope, while in another embodiment the primary electron beam passes through the openings in a grid of magnetic wires so as to interact with the magnetic fields therebetween, electrostatic deflecting means serving to deflect the electron beam through a substantial angle as it leaves the grid so as to impinge on sensing electrodes remote from the grid. In a third embodiment, secondary electrons are conducted into a branch tube extending from the main envelope and a single electrode senses the degree of deflection of the secondary electrons by the magnetic fields permeating the secondary emission region.
