Measured replay pukes, recorded on Metal Evaporated tape, show a strong asymmetry and dependence on the direction of tape movement. It is found that pulse height and pulse width are unequal for both directions of tape movement. This is attributed to the non longitudinal easy-axis direction which causes differences in headtape geometry for both directions resulting in a different transition widt...

Concentrated solar power is one of the renewable energy sources in world that can be utilized from by combining and concentrating it. In this numerical study, computer software was used to investigate parabolic trough collector consists a mirror tube made copper covered with vacuum glass. The twisted tape aluminum placed inside generate swirl flow turbulence around axial centerline absorber wor...

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...
