Title: Youichi Hayata: Innovator in Magnetic Tape Technology
Introduction
Youichi Hayata is a prominent inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of magnetic tape technology, holding a total of 7 patents. His work has been instrumental in advancing the performance and reliability of magnetic tapes used in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Hayata's latest patents is for a magnetic tape featuring specific meandering characteristics. This innovative tape is designed to provide excellent tracking and minimal output variation in video tape recorders (VTRs). The magnetic tape consists of a flexible support with a magnetic layer on one side and a backcoat layer on the reverse. It is engineered to have a stiffness of 70 mg·mm or less in the width direction, with a meandering amount of the tape edge trajectory not exceeding 15 µm at both ends. Additionally, the intensity of the meandering component with a cycle of 20 to 200 mm is limited to 30 percent of the intensity of the meandering component with a cycle of 20 to 10,000 mm.
Another notable patent is the width measuring apparatus developed by Hayata. This apparatus includes a light-emitting element and a pair of light-receiving elements, along with a measurement support table and a calculating device. It allows for the continuous and optical measurement of the width of elongated objects in a non-contact manner, significantly reducing measurement errors and costs while securing a working space.
