A wireless power transmission apparatus includes: a transmitter that wirelessly transmits electric power; and a receiver that can receive, in a resonant relation with the transmitter, a transmission signal including the electric power transmitted from the transmitter, wherein the receiver includes a frequency variable unit that can change a reception resonant frequency; a detecting unit that detects reception power; and a control unit that controls the frequency variable unit to perform frequency adjustment such that the reception power detected by the detecting unit is maximized.

Disclosed is a head system including a plurality of recording heads for azimuth recording. The system includes a first recording head having a plurality of magnetic gaps having a first azimuth angle, and a second recording head having a plurality of magnetic gaps having a second azimuth angle different from the first azimuth angle. After first magnetization patterns are formed on a recording medium by the first recording head, second magnetization patterns are formed by overwriting side edge portions in the formation direction of the first magnetization patterns by the second recording head. This makes it possible to prevent the worsening of the accuracy of the magnetization pattern width due to a relative height stagger (offset) between the heads, to thereby enhance the accuracy of the magnetization pattern width, and to achieve high-density recording.

Head system, recording and reproduction system, and magnetic recording method

In a data recording apparatus, the period of the first clock signal corresponding to the record data is multiplied by the stated numeric corresponding to the transfer rate with the clock signal forming structure, so that the second clock signal is formed. And, on the basis of the record data and the second clock signal, the recording current corresponding to the transfer rate that is formed by highlighting the high-frequency component in accordance with the transfer rate and by limiting the band in accordance with the transfer rate is generated with the recording current generating structure. Then, the recording data is recorded on the recording medium with the recording structure on the basis of the recording current, therefore, even if the transfer rate varies, it is able to equalize highlighting operation of high-frequency component of the recording current and to equalize band limitation so as to keep the frequency characteristics approximately constant. In this way, it is able to form nearly identical magnetization pattern on a recording medium even in the case where the transfer rate varies.

Data recording apparatus

A data recording apparatus for recording a digital signal onto a magnetic recording medium at one of a plurality of data recording rates. The apparatus comprises a detection device for detecting a change in value of the digital signal, a first variable current source for generating a first current having a value which is varied in response to a data rate of the digital signal, a second variable current source for generating a second current, a recording head for recording the signal into the magnetic recording medium, a current output device for outputting the second current or an added value of the first current and the second current in response to detection results of the detection device, and a recording head driving device for driving the recording head in response to an output of the current output device and the digital signal so as to enable recording at a desired data rate.

A motion picture film is provided on which a digital sound track for audio data is formed along the film running direction. Data tracks are disposed in the digital sound track along a direction normal to the film running direction and extend in the film running direction. A data pattern having a block of audio data is recorded in the data tracks, along with tracking patterns representing each data track. Each of the tracking patterns is recorded at one side of the data track along the film running direction with an offset in the film running direction of one half the width of a data track from the center of that data track.

A video tape recorder monitors the signal immediately after it has been recorded to determine whether errors have occurred in the recorded signal rerecords the video signal in the same location in the tracks where the error occurred. The location requiring rerecording can be located by recording a time code along with the video signal as it is recorded and rewinding the tape to the location where the error occurs and recording a stored video signal at that location or the video signal can be delayed and rerecorded downstream using another recording head once an error has been detected using an error detector.

Video tape recorder monitors recording errors and rerecords video

In a video tape recorder, recording and reproducing heads record and reproduce a recording signal on recording tracks which are diagonally formed one after another on a tape-like recording medium. The recording heads are capable of recording again the same recording signal in the same recording region. If a recording error occurs during recording mode, information on where the recording error has occurred and a recording signal to be recorded are stored in a memory. During rerecording mode, the stored information is used to complement the recording error. If a recording error occurs, preliminary recording circuitry operates so as to complement this recording error. The above construction permits the recording signal to be recorded on the recording tracks with certainty.
