  • This invention relates to apparatus for presenting information in the form of localized magnetic fields for affecting magnetic documents and powders to form a magnetic replica of the localized fields.
  • Magnetic pole faces in the shape of alphameric characters are disclosedin U.S. Pat. No. 3,526,708 for use, a la typewriter keys, in producing magnetic patterns corresponding to the shaped pole faces.
  • Thepatent also discloses the use of electromagnetic styli positioned in a line across a copy sheet, wherein each stylus is associated with a corresponding photocell, siimilarly positioned in a line across a previously formed master image. The photocells scan the master image and energize the matching styli to produce a replica of the master image.
  • the physical and magnetic interference present in a closely spaced row of electromagnetic styli positioned perpendicular to the movement of a medium to be influenced upon the energization of the styli precludes the use of such positioned styli in systems requiring magnetic fields sufficient to magnetize permanent magnet materials such as barium ferrite. Further, the patent does not suggest the generation of a plurality of signals representing a given alphameric character and the use of such signals to selectively energize predetermined styli to produce a magnetic field replica of that character.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,841,461 discloses a magnetic printing apparatus in which electromagnetic styli, are arranged in a two dimensional array to form alphameric characters by selective energization of appropriate styli.
  • a permanent magnet surface to be magnetized thereby is positioned adjacent the entire array.
  • Selected styli in the array are then simultaneously energized to form a magnetic image of the desired character.
  • a number of such arrays are positioned in a staggered configuration.
  • the present invention provides an alphameric character generation apparatus which subjects a medium to time-spaced localized intense magnetic fields arranged in selective patterns outlining a given alphameric character.
  • the apparatus comprises a mechanism for transporting and positioning the medium along a transport path, a staggered array of electromagnetic styli positioned across the transport path such that at least two of the styli are differently spaced from a reference line normal to the transport path and circuits for selectively energizing the styli in synchronization with the movement of the medium along the transport path to form a plurality of localized magnetic fields outlining an alphameric character.
  • Each stylus comprises a substantially cylindrical body having a high permeability, high magnetic moment, and low magnetic remanence, which body terminates at one end as a shaped pole face positioned along the transport path to concentrate the flux through said medium and terminates at the opposite end in a flux return member extending around and under said transport path.
  • Each stylus further comprises a coil surrounding the body closely positioned adjacent the pole face to maximize the flux produced in the pole face in the medium, the coil containing not morethan 500 turns.
  • the circuits preferably provide electrical pulses representative of a given alphameric character to selectively energize the styli and synchronize the occurrence of the pulses with the movement of the medium.
  • pulses representing portions of a character parallel to the reference line are applied to energize each respective stylus, the pulses being offset in time by an amount proportional to the distance of each respective stylus from the reference line.
  • the styli are staggered along a row oblique to the transport path of the medium such that each stylus is a different distance from the reference line. Portions of the medium lying along a line normal to the transport path will thus pass adjacent each stylus at a different time.
  • Electronic delay circuits are provided to accordingly selectively delay the application of energization pulses to given styli.
  • the present invention provides a compact apparatus capable of generating sufficiently intense fields to magnetize minute discrete locations within a sheet-like medium containing strongly magnetic permanent magnet materials such as barium ferrite.
  • the discrete locations are preferably selectively positioned to establish an outline representative of a given alphameric character wherein the distance between the closest adjacent locations is less than the distance between adjacent styli.
  • the maximum height for an alphameric character formed by the apparatus is less than the length of the row along which the styli are positioned.
  • the selectively magnetized medium is useful as a master source document in which the magnetized locations represent encoded information, which information is readily magnetically transferred to a transfer sheet.
  • the present invention enables high speed encoding of such documents which has heretofore been impossible and which has imposed major restrictions on the use thereof.
  • encoding means the formation of an array of magnetized locations within the medium representative of an alphameric character, wherein a given character representation consists of selected magnetized locations.
  • FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view of the stylus assembly used in the apparatus of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the region proximate a stylus pole face and
  • FIG. 3 is a combined top view and schematic of the apparatus of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 A three-dimensional view of the stylus assembly 10 for use in the apparatus of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the assembly contains two groups of electromagnetic styli l2 and 14 which are tightly mounted in a stylus support member 16 which provides a return path for magnetic flux back to the styli.
  • the styli extend to a position adjacent a recess 18 formed .in base member 38 spaced from the member 16 by spacers 40 and 42.
  • the recess 18 provides a part of a transport path 22 along which a medium may be passed.
  • the lower extremity of the styli 12 and 14 are received in appropriate openings provided in a nonmagnetic base member positioned adjacent the base member 38 such that the tips of the styli pass through the openings and with the plate 20 form the top of the recess 18.
  • the first group of styli 12 are positioned in a row extending perpendicular to the transportpath 22, and are energized in'a time-space relationship to a medium moved along the transport path to form machine-readable code rep-f resentations of alphameric characters on the medium.
  • the styli of the first group have acenter-to-center spacing of 0.087 inches (2.2 mm) to correspond with the spacing of typical magnetic sensing heads in a reader for the medium, which heads are coupled to logic circuits enabling identifi cation of a particular code representation as an alphameric character.
  • Other spacings may similarly beused depending upon the code format selected.
  • the second group of styli 14 are positioned an equidistance along a row extending diagonally to the transport path 22.
  • the first stylus 24 within the second group of styli 14 is positioned in line with the first group of styli 14, while successive styli 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 36 are spaced along the diagonal row at a center-to-center spacing of 0.089 inches (2.26 mm).
  • the center-to-center spacing. between the first and last stylus, 24 and 36 respectively, measured perpendicular to the transport path is 0.100
  • the spacer 42 may comprise an electromagnetic coil to which direct current may be applied to provide a magnetic bias at the recess 18. If desired, an additional coil may be provided around the spacer 40 to improve the uniformity of the magnetic bias throughout the recess 18.
  • the magnetized areas produced upon selective energization of styli within the first group of styli 12 are intended to be sensed by discrete transducers, so it is desirable that the center-to-center spacing of adjacent styli be correlated with the center-to-center spacing of the transducers intended to be used. This freedom of selection allows sufficient spacing between. adjacent styli so as to avoid magnetic interference or space limitations.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of a typical one of the styli 12 and 14, e.g., stylus 36, together with base members20 and 38.
  • the stylus 36 is conveniently a 0.030.
  • the nonmagnetic base plate 20 is fabricated to provide a series of equally spaced holes corresponding to the desired positions of the styli 14, each hole having a body diameter 21 tapering to an opening 0.012 inches (0.30 mm) in diameter at the. bottom of the base member 20. Upon assembly of the stylus 36 into the base member 20 the tip of the stylus 36 is forced to extend through the hole in the base member 20 and is subsequently ground flush with the upper surface of thev recess 18.
  • a coil 46 is carried on the stylus 36, positioned adjacent the base member 20 as close as possible to thestylus tip to minimize flux losses.
  • the coil is preferably less than 500 turns so as to minimize the inductance, thereby allowing the production of short duration pulses with inexpensive pulse generating circuits.
  • coil 46 has 250 turns of No. 36 AWG magnet wire, only a few of which turns are shown in FIG. 2.
  • the height of the stylus assembly 10' is used to encode a medium such as a source document containing highly magnetic barium ferrite particles.
  • the stylus assembly 10 is positioned to allow an endless belt 52 supported by rollers 54 and 56 to pass through the recess 18.
  • the belt 52 is preferably a thin, uniformly thick web of nonmagnetic material such as polyethylene terephthalate.
  • ASCII code signals are generated by the key board 61 for processing in the apparatus.
  • Each ASCII code signal gener: ated in response to a selected character input causes belt 52 and the medium 48 carried thereon to move six incremented steps. It is likewise intended that any various types of transport motion and electrical signals which together produce recognizable alphameric characters may be combined in a similar manner.
  • ASCII code signals representing alphameric characters are fed as seven parallel inputs via the transmission lines 60 to the nondelayed pulse amplifiers 66 whereon the signals are amplified and coupled directly to the .coils for the first group of styli'12 for selective energization in accordance with the signals received.
  • the resultant magnetized patterns 68, 70, and 72 shown on the medium 48 correspond to the ASCII code signals received for the characters A, B, and C respectively.
  • the ASCII code signals are similarly supplied by transmission lines 60 to a readonly memory unit 64 which is programmed to generate a 5 X 7 dot pattern character in response to a ASCII code input signal. Five possible time-sequenced pulses can thus beprovided at each of seven outputs.
  • the ASCII code signal received determines the timesequenced pulses that will occur at the seven outputs to provide a timed pulse pattern representative of the alphameric character for the received ASCII code signal.
  • the output of the readonly memory unit 64 v will contain time-sequenced pulses shown at 74 which correspond to a dot pattern representation of the character A.
  • the read-only memory unit 64 is preferably a standard metal oxide semiconductor integrated circuit read-only memory which had been masked at the time of manufacture to produce a 5 X 7 dot pattern, such as Fairchild Semiconductor, Inc., type A7K3258l9X.
  • the outputs of the read-only memory ,unit 64 are coupledto selective delay circuits 76, which delay the signal generated at any one of the seven outputs an amount proportional to the distance that a given stylus within the second group of styli 14 is from a reference line normal to the transport path 22 formed by the row of the first group of styli 12.
  • signals on the second output 80 which are utltimately coupled to the second styli 26 pass through the selective delay circuits 76 after one time unit of delay, signals on the third output pass through with two time units of delay, etc.
  • the delayed pulses are amplified by the delayed pulse amplifiers 82 and are coupled to the appropriate styli within the second group of styli l4. Y I.
  • each memory unit 64 is connected through a serial shift register memory unit within the selective delay circuit 76, wherein one time unit of delay consists of six clock pulses so that each column is delayed -a multiple of-six' iclock pulses, depending upon the distance of the'corresp'onding stylus from the reference line, i.e., the signals applied to stylus 24 are not delayed, signals applied to stylus 26 are delayed six clock pulses, etc.
  • the distance between the staggered styli 14 measured alongthe transport path 22 and the incremental motion of the belt 52, as controlled by the incremental motor v58, are interrelated such that after each incremental motion of the belt 52, the pulses delayed in the delay circuits 76 one time unit of delay are ready to be presented.
  • the stepping motor 58 is synchronized with the time units of delay to advance the belt 52 in discrete increments of 0.0145 inches (0.37 mm) for each time unit of delay.
  • Each stylus in the group of styli. 14 is thus energized at the proper time by the control circuitry as the motor advances the belt 52, thereby magnetizing the medium 48 as shown by the dots outlining the alphameric characters 84, 86, and 88, corresponding to the alphameric characters A, B, and C.
  • a specially desired attribute of the apparatus of the present invention is that magnetic fields are produced which are capable of reversing the magnetization in high coercivity materials such as barium ferrite.
  • Both the fixed magnetic fields from the electromagnetic bias coil 42 and the pulsed magnetic fields produced by selective energization of the coils to styli 12 and 14 are used in an aiding fashion to develop such necessarily intense magnetic fields.
  • the stylus shape shown in detail in FIG. 2 concentrates the flux to additionally intensify the magnetic fields at the styli pole face.
  • the bias coil 42 (shown in FIG. 1) also allows the use of small styli coils, thus enabling closer spacing of the styli. Such biasing complements the use of low inductance styli coils, such that a high flux level can be obtained using relatively inexpensive, high-speed pulse generating circuits of conventional design to drive the styli.
  • the encoding pulses supplied to the second group of styli 14 have a duration of less than 100 microseconds and have an average amplitude of several amperes.
  • Such pulses are readily produced by a capacitive-inductive circuit in which the inductive component is the coil forming a portion of each electromagnetic stylus.
  • the time constant of the circuit is preferably selected to enable the generation of pulsed magnetic fields in the styli having a durationof less than lOO microseconds.
