摘要:
A magnetic disc drive in which two magnetic heads (20, 30), each of which has at least two magnetic gaps (1, 2, 3, 4), are provided on a single carriage (10) and radially spaced apart from each other by a first predetermined distance (e). A radially inner one of the two magnetic heads (20) is tilted at a first predetermined angle (s) toward a rotary shaft (50) with which the magnetic disc is engaged, and a radially outer one of the two magnetic heads (30) is tilted at a second predetermined angle (t) away from the rotary shaft, thereby bringing the magnetic gaps provided on the inner and outer peripheral heads into contact with a recording/playback surface (61) of the magnetic disc (60) when the disc is rotated.

A device for adjusting the focal point of an optical pickup device in which the light reflected by a recording medium is focused at points of two systems using an optical branching filter, first and second light detectors are disposed, respectively, in front of one focal point and at the back of the other focal point, and a focal point adjusting mechanism is servo-controlled in response to the outputs from the two light detectors. Each of the light detectors has a central light-receiving surface on the optical axis and a peripheral light-receiving surface in the periphery of the central light-receiving surface. According to a first method, the focal point adjusting mechanism is servo-controlled such that the deviation will become zero between the ratio of the amount of light received in the center to the total amount of light received in the center and periphery of the first light detector and the ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of light in the center and periphery of the second light detector. Even if the two detectors receive different amounts of light, the difference is cancelled between the denominator and the numerator of the ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of light in the center and periphery, and the device is not affected by the imbalance in the amount of light. According to a second method, the focal point adjusting mechanism is basically servo-controlled based on the difference between the amounts of light received in the centers of the two light detectors. Here, the difference in the total amount of light received by the two light detectors is calculated throughout all stages, and the difference is used to calculate a correction value multiplied by the component ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of the light received in a focused condition. Since the calculated correction value is subtracted from the difference in the amount of light received in the centers, the servo output does not contain imbalance in the amount of light falling on the light detectors of the two systems, and the device is not affected by the imbalance in the amount of incident light.

摘要:
An optical head (200) usable also for an WORM-type optical disk device includes a diffracting optical system (7, 8) which is located on the optical path of a light beam and which diffracts the light beam so as to produce at least three diffracted light beams, and three light-receiving elements which receive the reflected light beams of the three diffracted light beams from the surface of an optical disk. The diffracting optical system is arranged so as to establish a positional relationship in which the three or more diffracted light beams do not lie on a single straight line in the cross-sectional distribution thereof. Among the three diffracted light beams, one lying at the foremost or rearmost position in the forward rotating direction of the optical disk is employed for generating a focusing servo signal or for reading or writing data, and the remaining two are employed for generating a tracking servo signal.
摘要:
An absolute encoder comprises a moving member in which track groups (T2 and T1) consisting of a plurality of slit patterns bit-coded in accordance with digital code representing an absolute address such as a binary-coded quaternary code are parallelly arranged in a form from higher bits to lower bits; a light source for illuminating the member; photodetecting elements (1 and 2) which output detection signals (A0 to A3 ) for each track by receiving the illuminated light through the slit patterns; and processing means for processing the detected signals to generate bit reproducing signals (P0 to P3) and read the absolute addresses of the moving member by decoding. This processing means is provided with operating means (3 to 20) for generating the high order bit reproducing signals (P2 and P3) which are synchronized with the rising or falling of the low order bit reproducing signal (P0) by operating the low order detection signals (A0 to A0 ) obtained from the lower bit track (T1) and the high order detection signals (A2 to A3 ) obtained from the higher order bit track (T2). If the number of the tracks is increased, it is necessary to provide an arrangement in which the light which illuminates the lower order bit track is received through a magnifying optical system and at the same time, the light which illuminates the track on the high order bit side is received directly.
