MAGNETIC TAPE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18422850 titled 'MAGNETIC TAPE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a magnetic tape that exhibits specific frictional force characteristics when used with an LTO8 head under certain environmental conditions.

  • The magnetic tape has a frictional force of 4 gf or more and 15 gf or less on the magnetic layer surface when used with an LTO8 head at a head tilt angle of 45° in an environment of 32°C temperature and 80% relative humidity.
  • The standard deviation of the frictional force on the magnetic layer surface with respect to the LTO8 head is 10 gf or less when measured at head tilt angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45°.
  • The magnetic tape cartridge and magnetic tape apparatus incorporate this magnetic tape technology.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in data storage systems, backup solutions, and archival systems.

Problems Solved
