摘要:
A track-seeking system for an optical disk using a velocity control loop with partially-digitized velocity measurement is described in which the sample period of the position error signal is varied in accordance with a velocity profile and a gain of the digital circuits is adjusted, also in accordance with the velocity profile, for providing optimum operation of the digitized portion of the velocity signal generator. In another aspect of the velocity-signal generation, the same digital circuit generates a velocity reference signal and a velocity error signal from a common desired velocity profile set of values.
摘要:
A position servo system has a position loop and a velocity loop. The position loop controls the stop-lock condition and provides for movement control within a range about the stop-lock position. The velocity circuit is employed for movements outside of the range of the position servo circuit. When the velocity servo's loop is being used, a compare circuit compares the servo drive signal from the velocity circuit with a signal generated by the position servo loop which is tracking the velocity servo loop. When the compare means finds that the servo drive signals have equal amplitudes, then the velocity servo loop is disconnected from an actuator with the position servo loop then connected to the activation for completing the movement to a desired or target stop-lock position. The above-indicated servo system controls a topping or fine actuator (46) carried on a carriage (34) moved by a coarse actuator (36). The fine and coarse actuators move along the same axis and transverse to movement of any work element, such as a record storage disk (30). The coarse actuator is continuously slaved to the positioning of the topping or fine actuator (46). A relative position sensor (37) disposed intermediate the fine (46) and coarse actuators (36) supplies a position error signal for enabling the coarse actuator (36) to continuously follow the fine actuator (46). Feed forward signals are supplied from the fine actuator (46) to the coarse actuator (36). A preferred embodiment is shown using an optical disk environment.

The present invention relates to apparatus for restraining the uncontrolled movement of a moving device comprising main control means (19) for generating control signals for moving the device (11, 12) in a controlled manner, means (25) for detecting uncontrolled movement of the device, and additional control means (25, 29) for generating additional control signals for restraining the uncontrolled movement. According to the invention the apparatus is characterised in that the additional control means comprises direction detecting means for detecting the direction of the uncontrolled movement, and means (29) for generating braking control signals for applying a braking force to the device in the direction opposite to the direction of the uncontrolled movement in order to stop the uncontrolled movement.

摘要:
Data Storage apparatus is provided which employs a track-crossing sensor to produce track-crossing signals during track seek. An oscillator is slaved to the sensor for supplying substitute track-crossing pulses in the absence of the sensor providing such pulses or when the radial velocity exceeds a threshold velocity. A velocity profile means alters the oscillator frequency so that the oscillator produces track-crossing pulses in accordance with the profile.
