Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, Magnetic record media are described that have an overlying or underlying magnetically saturable high permeability keeper layer in addition to a high coercivity magnetic layer in which magnetic signals are stored. These media are used in magnetic signal processing devices whose transducers are capable of generating a keeper layer-saturating bias flux. In signal reproduction the bias flux magnetically forms a saturation zone in the nature of virtual gap in the keeper layer that directs signal flux between the media and the transducer.
