Title: High resolution reproduction of signals from phase transformable discs
Inventor: UENO ICHIRO
IPC: G11B9/00
Filed: 1985-04-09
Abstract: A method is disclosed wherein electromagnetic radiant energy, either microwave or optical, is modulated in frequency with a signal to be recorded. The modulated energy is concentrated on a layer of a material which is transformable in phase structure between crystalline and amorphous, to cause a phase structural change to occur therein. The concentrated energy is moved along a predetermined path to form a series of regions of phase structural change. On reproduction, microwave energy of a constant intensity is applied to an electrode, which is moved in contact with the layer along said path to cause the microwave energy to be modulated in frequency with varying conductivity of said regions. The frequency-modulated microwave energy is subject to demodulation to recover the original signal. On playback, microwave energy is preferably modulated in frequency with the signal to be recorded and applied to the same moving electrode as used in the reproduction operation. <IMAGE>

Title: Sewing machine stitch regulator
Inventor: ANDO TSUKASA
IPC: D05B27/22
Filed: 1987-11-12
Abstract: A lever 13 is rotatably mountable on a frame 11 of a sewing machine. A feed regulator 17 is connected to the lever 13 for controlling the stitch length in dependence on the amount of rotation of the lever 13. An arm 28 is rotatably mounted on the frame 11. A stepping motor 32 rotates the arm 28 to define a set clearance between the arm 28 and the lever 13 after starting the machine, and to an angle corresponding to the variation of stitch length during operation. Thus the timing of the operation of the feed regulator 17 is constant regardless of variation of stitch length. In operation movement of arm 30 causes movement of arm 28. This causes direct movement of lever 13, or if the arm 28 is moved away from the lever, spring 26 moves the lever via rod 15. Movement of rod 15 causes adjustment of feed regulator 17. Normal feed is conveyed from eccentric 22 via rod 20 to a link 18, a member 50 and then a feed dog (not shown). <IMAGE>
