An accurate noncontact method of characterizing Ag-BiSCCO tape is reported, using the trapped field, , of a field-cooled tape. The dimensions of the tape make it possible to calculate in closed form a very simple expression, relating trapped field to transport current. Short lengths of tape, 4 (cm), are used to experimentally confirm the model. The model applies to any length of tape for which ...

The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced laser surface texturing to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence, reduce the friction coefficient. INTRODUCTION Lateral tape motion (LTM) is defined as the time-dependent motion of the tape...

INTRODUCTION The objective is to evaluate the accuracy of medication dosing and the time to medication administration in the prehospital setting using a novel length-based pediatric emergency resuscitation tape. METHODS This study was a two-period, two-treatment crossover trial using simulated pediatric patients in the prehospital setting. Each participant was presented with two emergent scen...

In this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a Pareto based Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of TiO2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. In this study there are four independent design variables: t...

The purpose of this study was to determine the environmental stability and life expectancies of magnetic media used with certain high density, digital recording tape systems, specifically the IBM 3590 and both Quantum’s Digital Linear Tape (DLT) and Super DLT products. The goal of the study was to compare the tape stabilities and life expectancies of the corresponding tape media and tape storag...

In the mid-1980s, tape storage appeared to be heading toward the graveyard. Storing information on large reels of tape that had to be manually mounted was expensive, inefficient, and prone to human error. In addition, competition from hard disk drives (HDDs) was growing. Data access on HDD was faster because the data was stored in a manner for rapid random access, not linearly as on tape, and H...

A characteristic of scapulothoracic dysfunction is the tendency for the upper regions of the trapezius to hypertrophy in relation to its middle and lower portions. This creates a muscular imbalance that can alter scapular position and subsequently the length-tension relationship of the shoulder muscles. Tape was applied over the right upper trapezius to inhibit electrical activity in the muscle...
