MAGNETIC TAPE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240112698 titled 'MAGNETIC TAPE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The magnetic tape described in the patent application consists of a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder. The surface of the magnetic layer has an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of 1.5 nm or less, with a standard deviation (σ) of the Ra in the width direction of the surface being 0.20 nm or less.
- Non-magnetic support
- Magnetic layer with ferromagnetic powder
- Surface roughness criteria: Ra ≤ 1.5 nm, σ(Ra) ≤ 0.20 nm
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be used in various magnetic storage devices such as hard drives, magnetic tapes, and magnetic cards.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps in improving the performance and durability of magnetic tapes by controlling the surface roughness of the magnetic layer, which can affect the quality of data storage and retrieval.
Benefits
- Enhanced data storage capacity - Improved data retrieval speed - Increased durability of magnetic tapes
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Magnetic Tape Surface Roughness for Enhanced Data Storage"
