Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
In a thin film magneto-optic recording medium on which two sorts of values are recorded by upward and downward magnetizations perpendicular to the film surface, the improvement wherein a tracking guide, which in use of said medium is followed by a magneto-optic recording/reproducing head, is defined on said medium by a region whose magnetization easy axis is perpendicular to the film surface and a region having no magnetization easy axis at least in the direction perpendicular to the film surface, said regions being located contiguously on the same surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
In a thin film magneto-optic recording medium on which two sorts of values are recorded by upward and downward magnetizations perpendicular to the film surface, the improvement wherein a tracking guide, which in use of said medium is followed by a magneto-optic recording/reproducing head, is defined on said medium by a region whose magnetization easy axis is perpendicular to the film surface and a region having no magnetization easy axis at least in the direction perpendicular to the film surface, said regions being located contiguously on the same surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
In a thin film magneto-optic recording medium on which two sorts of values are recorded by upward and downward magnetizations perpendicular to the film surface, the improvement wherein a tracking guide, which in use of said medium is followed by a magneto-optic recording/reproducing head, is defined on said medium by a region whose magnetization easy axis is perpendicular to the film surface and a region which is the same in the direction of magnetization easy axis but different in the magnitude of the coercive force from that of the first-mentioned region, said regions being located contiguously on the same surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
100 words
In a thin film magneto-optic recording medium on which two sorts of values are recorded by upward and downward magnetizations perpendicular to the film surface, the improvement wherein a tracking guide, which in use of said medium is followed by a magneto-optic recording/reproducing head, is defined on said medium by a region whose magnetization easy axis is perpendicular to the film surface and a region which is the same in the direction of magnetization easy axis but different in the magnitude of the coercive force from that of the first-mentioned region, said regions being located contiguously on the same surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
A magneto-optic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the thin film region having the magnetization easy axis perpendicular to the film surface is of an alloy in an amorphous state, and the thin film region having no magnetization easy axis in the direction perpendicular to the film surface is of said alloy in a crystalline state.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A magneto-optic recording medium according to claim 2, wherein both regions are of an amorphous alloy, the coercive force of which can be decreased by a thermal treatment.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A magneto-optic recording medium according to claim 3, wherein said alloy is one which can be changed from said amorphous state to said crystalline state by thermal treatment done by a laser beam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A magneto-optic recording medium according to claim 2, wherein both regions are of an amorphous alloy, the coercive force of which can be decreased by thermal treatment with a laser beam.
