Filed:

Jun 15, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/898860

Inventors:

Robert Sanford - Flower Mound TX
Robert Cook - Lewisville TX
Gerald Stuteville - North Richland Hills TX

Assignee:

Tandy Corporation - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

G11B 503
G11B 502

US Classification:

360 66

Abstract:

A circuit for generating a bias signal and an erase signal for use in a recording apparatus having a record head for recording an input analog signal on a magnetic tape, and an erase head for erasing information from the tape. A DC erase signal is applied to the erase head in response to the erase control signal to cause the erase head to erase information. An AC bias signal is generated and is combined with the input analog signal to make a record signal. The record signal is applied to the record head in response to the record control signal to record information on the tape. A controller generates an erase control signal and as record control signal. The AC bias signal is generated by an AC bias oscillator, such as a Hartley oscillator to reduce the noise contributed in the recording system. Use of a DC source to drive the erase head reduces the cost of the circuit, while maintaining a significant increase in the signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract:

A pacing apparatus has a housing formed of laminar material less than about 1" in thickness. Visual indicia are applied to the housing and provide instructions for the administration of the rescue procedure. A pacing signal generator is carried by the housing for providing the pacing signal to a user. The pacing signal generator provides visual and/or audible indications to a user for pacing the administration of the rescue procedure. The usual indicators may be LEDs and the audible indicator may be one or more tones.

Assignee:

Tandy Corporation - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

H04M 164
G06F 302

US Classification:

379 67

Abstract:

The invention comprises a telephone answering device in which a microprocessor controller is coupled to all of the peripheral components through a single common multi-bit data/instruction bus and each peripheral component is coupled to the data bus through a latch which is enabled responsive to an enable instruction placed on a port of the controller.
