An arrangement for reproducing data readable by an optical scanner from tracks on a recorded medium. At least one beam of light is focused onto the medium, and the beam is positioned along the tracks by a tracking control. The recorded medium reflects the beam onto a photodetector which generates an electrical data signal having a phase relation, a focusing error signal also having a phase relatio...

1. Apparatus for the reproduction of data which can be read contactlessly from a recording medium by means of an optical scanning device. 2.1 Such apparatuses are equipped with a focus control circuit, in order to focus the light beam scanning the data onto the recording medium, and with a track control circuit, in order to be able to guide the light beam on the data tracks. The control ampli...

A thermoplastic bedding 5, 12, 14 formed by extrusion with an embedded electrically conducting wire 28 is bonded to the thermoplastic shell 4, 6 of a luggage case by positioning it in the desired location and passing an electric current through the wire, thereby to heat the beading and fuse it to the shell. A lining 20 may be secured in place by trapping its edge between the beading and a portion ...

An apparatus for automatically connecting successive tape-like workpieces end to end, comprising: a spool pallet (13) situated in a travelling path of the individual tape-like workpiece (T) and including a predetermined number of take-up spools (11, 11a) and means (12) for supporting the spools (11, 11a) in row and having a tape stopper (7) for restricting and releasing the movement of the tape-li...

A data reproduction arrangement for recalling data that can be read out with an optical pickup from data storage tracks of a recorded medium, in which a beam of light is focused on the recorded medium. The beam is advanced along the data storage tracks by a tracking circuit, and a photodetector receives the beam of light reflected from the recorded medium. A direct-current coupled data signal is g...
