1,194,450. Recording digital data. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. 13 Dec., 1968 [4 Jan., 1968], No. 59327/68. Heading G4C. Magnetic bit recording system wherein a voltage level change in the centre of a bit period corresponds to a first bit value and a voltage level change at the beginning of a bit period corresponds to the second bit value is arranged such that when a first bit follows a second bit an even number of additional changes occurs during the first half of the bit period containing the first bit and when a first bit proceeds a second bit an odd number of additional changes occurs during the second half of the bit period containing the first bit, the spacing apart of those voltage level changes which include one or more additional changes being less than the wavelength resolution of the mechanism whereby the amplitudes of the magnetization excursions recorded are maintained at a uniform level. Data from a source 12 is shifted along a register 16 containing flip-flops B2, B1, B0 under the control of pulses from a source 2F. Pulses from 2F are applied to flip-flop F to halve the frequency and from there to flip-flop BC to further halve the frequency, the false outputs from the generator and flip-flops being applied to AND gate 14 to produce control pulses SC (Fig. 2d) which are applied to shift the the contents of flip-flops B2, B1, B0. AND gates S1 S2, Q1, Q2 have the inputs as shown from flip-flops B2, B1, B0, BC, F and generator 2F. S1 produces a pulse during the first half of a bit period 22 if flip-flop B1, the contents of which are being recorded, is a "1". Ql produces two pulses during the first half of a period if BO is "1" and B1 is "0". Q2 produces two pulses during the second half of the period if B2 is "1" and B1 is "0" and S2 produces one pulse during the second half of the period if B1 is "0" and B2 is "0". One of the pulses in the last three cases has one edge occuring at the centre of the bit period to indicate that the content of B1 is "0". The bit period and the tape speed are arranged so that the spacing apart of additional successive voltage changes is less than the wavelength resolution of the tape so that self demagnetization due to the lack of high frequency response of the recorder will not permanently record the additional reversals but will record the basic reversals from one level to another. |
