摘要:
A self-sealing differential signal decoder (50) which accepts first and second input signals and provides an output representative of the difference therebetween which is scaled as if the sum of the input signals were equal to a predetermined value, avoids slow A.G.C. systems and sequence control systems, being operable at up to video speed by exploiting the properties of a differential long-tail pair amplifier (72, 74, 76) where the ratio between its output currents is proportional to the antilogarithm of the difference between its input voltages and the sum of the output currents is equal to the controlled value of a constant current source (76), the input to the long-tail pair being provided by a differential logarithmic amplifier (56, 58, 66, 68) and the decoder (50) being employed in a tribit servo signal reader.
摘要:
A laser optical system including a reading beam for reading optical data recorded in one or more tracks of a rotating disk optical recording medium. The disk includes a plurality of preformatted headers spaced along the track wherein each header includes a plurality of spaced focusing optical holes having dimensions chosen based on the diameter of the focused laser beam spot. Traversal of these optical holes by the reading beam produces a reflected beam which varies in a manner dependent upon the quality of focusing of the beam. Peak detection circuitry responsive to this reflected beam is used to produce a high gain focusing signal which is combined with a low gain, high capture range focusing signal provided by a geometric focus detector to derive a precise, offset-free focusing control signal which is applied to a focusing motor to main precise focusing of the beam on the disk.
摘要:
A three beam laser optical system comprising a writing beam and two reading beams all incident on the same track of a rotating disk optical recording medium. One of the reading beams is incident on the track ahead of the writing beam so as to serve as a read-before-write beam, while the other reading beam is incident on the track behind the recording beam so as to serve as a read-after-write beam. The read-before-write beam is used during the recording of data to provide an advance indication as to whether there is previously recorded data ahead of the writing beam, in which case the recording operation is interrupted to prevent an overwrite error. The read-after write beam is used during recording to check the accuracy of the recording operation.
摘要:
A laser optical system including a reading beam for reading optical data recorded in one or more tracks of a rotating disk optical recording medium. The disk includes a plurality of preformatted headers spaced along the track wherein each header includes first and second track following optical holes which are elongated in the direction of the track and disposed on opposite sides of the track center line in a staggered relationship along the track. Traversal of these track following holes by the reading beam produces a reflected beam which varies in a manner dependent upon the accuracy of positioning of the beam relative to the track center line. Up-down integration circuitry responsive to this reflected beam is used to produce a track following signal which is applied to a radial position control motor for maintaining the beam precisely on the track center line.
摘要:
An apparatus for preformatting each track of an optical disk with spaced header patterns (61) using a plurality of overlapping, individually modulated writing laser beams (65a, b, c) arranged in a line perpendicular to the track. All of the writing laser beams are derived from a single multi-line laser (90) so as to provide high positioning stability, and adjacent beams are chosen to have different wavelengths in order to prevent the deleterious effects of coherent interference between the overlapping beams. A specific header pattern (61) is provided on a single pass by turning on different ones of the writing beams during specific time periods as each header recording area is traversed. A laser read-after-write beam (65d) is additionally provided to permit immediate verification of the recorded header pattern.
摘要:
An interconnection circuitry (12), for two local area contention networks (10) which is adapted to jam the respective networks when stations (11) on both sides of the interconnection circuitry attempt transmission. If stations on opposite sides of the interconnect circuitry begin transmitting at the same time, the interconnect circuitry operates to place a high signal on the channel of each network and all stations will detect that the data is garbled and discard it.

L'execution serielle de taches dans un systeme de dispositif numerique interconnecte (10, 11-1 jusqu'a 11-N) s'est revele etre inefficace. De telles taches sont representees par des mots de commande de tache, arranges en une pluralite de groupes, qui sont stockes dans une memoire de commande (13) et executes par une unite logique (20). Grace au multiplexage temporel de l'execution de ces taches par l'utilisation de files d'attente d'entree (24) et de sortie (22) pour le stockage de messages d'entree (23) et de sortie (21) de deux types transferes entre ces dispositifs numeriques (10, 11-1 jusqu'a 11-N), l'on obtient une execution parallele de ces taches ainsi qu'un fonctionnement beaucoup plus efficace. Quelques uns de ces messages ne necessitent pas de reponse tandis que pour ces messages qui necessitent une reponse, des signaux d'adresse de reprise (29, 37) sont inclus dans les messages (31, 36) transferes par le bus (12) reliant les dispositifs numeriques.
摘要:
This disclosure relates to a reduction processor for the evaluation of one or more functions which are stored in memory in the form of a series of nodes of a treelike graph where the nodes implement a variable-free applicative language. The respective function operators are reduced through a progressive series of transformations or substitutions until a result is obtained. During the reduction process, the processor transfers nodes to and from memory and performs various operations as required on those nodes. The processor can also create new nodes in memory and delete unused ones.

A microprogrammed data processing system providing synchronized multi-phase subroutine control for a plurality of concurrently executing tasks operating at a microinstruction level in a multiprocessing and multiprogramming environment. Tasks and subroutine control operations are staged to employ common hardware in a manner which provides the effect of a plurality of separate processors operating concurrently on different tasks in a multi-phased manner.
摘要:
Un servo mecanisme de positionnement d'une tete positionne une tete de lecture/ecriture (16) sur un disque rotatif, magnetique de stockage de donnees d'information (10). Comme element de reaction de position, il utilise une detente optique a deux phases (22, 24). Il elimine les erreurs de positionnement dues aux erreurs de phase entre les deux signaux d'indication de position en ayant la distance de repetition des deux signaux depuis la detente (22, 24) egale a l'espacement regulier entre les pistes de donnees sur le disque (10). L'une des pistes est une servo piste (14). Un selecteur (25) assure exclusivement le positionnement de la tete (16) d'apres le signal de reaction de position des deux disponibles, qui amenent la tete (16) sur la servo piste (14) avec la plus petite erreur. Le positionnement s'effectue par correction de l'erreur par l'intermediaire d'un convertisseur D/A (30). La situation est controlee de temps en temps par un controleur (34).
