    摘要: An improved media player and a method for operating a portable computing device (e.g., media player) are disclosed. According to one aspect, a portable computing device is able to protect its disk drive when being subjected to undesired levels of acceleration. The portable computing device protects its disk drive by monitoring for such accelerations and operating to avoid usage of the disk drive during periods of acceleration. Through such protection, the likelihood of damage to the disk drive or loss of data stored on the disk drive is able to be substantially reduced. According to another aspect, a user of a portable computing device can be alerted when the portable computing device is being subjected to undesirable levels of acceleration.

    摘要: A position control device corrects the displacement of the head by disturbance applied to the disk device by the control system. An adaptive control to an unknown disturbance frequency is performed. A frequency estimation block (24) for estimating the external vibration frequency from a signal that is based on the position error according to the adaptive rule, and a correction table(25) for sequentially correcting the constants of a compensator (23) using this external vibration frequency, are provided. Since the constantssupplied to the compensator (23) are sequentially corrected according to the estimated angular frequency, highly accurate follow up control to an external vibration frequency in a wide range becomes possible.

    摘要: Recording track density is increased to provide large storage by improving positioning accuracy that is limited by the presence of the vibration mode of an actuator (3) for positioning a magnetic head (2). A data recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a magnetic disk (1), a magnetic head (2) movable relative to the magnetic disk (1) to record and reproduce data, an actuator (3) supporting the magnetic head (2) and movable in response to a command, and a controller (4) for controlling the movement of the actuator (3) by producing commands according to the signals read by the magnetic head (2). The actuator (3) has at least one mode of vibration in addition to the mode of rigid-body motion. The controller (4), composed of an internal model including at least one mode of vibration, comprises a state estimation section for estimating the state variables of the modes of vibration and rigid-body motion of the actuator (3) from the signals read by the magnetic head (2) and the controlled variables corresponding to the move command given to the actuator (3), and a generator section for generating controlled variables by using the estimated state variables output from the state estimation section.

    摘要: A positioning control device (14) executes disturbance observer control having a disturbance suppression function, wherein changes of control characteristics are prevented even if the disturbance frequency (É) is suppressed. When a control value of an actuator (1) is computed using estimated gains of the actuator and estimated gains of disturbance according to an estimated position error (e[k]) by disturbance observer control including a model of the actuator and model of the disturbance, the disturbance frequency is estimated according to the estimated position error, and the estimated gains of the actuator and the estimated gains of the disturbance, corresponding to the disturbance frequency, are changed. Therefore appropriate observer control according to the disturbance frequency can be implemented.

    摘要: A control circuit (98) creates a self-sensing active-damping voice coil (80). The control circuit includes a current sensor (84) coupled to a voice coil (90). A first filter (72) is coupled to the current sensor to create an error voltage (70) that is proportional to the integral of an external acceleration (44) applied to the voice coil. A second filter (74) with a lead-lag component is coupled to the error voltage to create a voltage (82) applied to the voice coil that substantially cancels the external acceleration below a pole defined by a lead-lag component thereby damping the external acceleration.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for controlling a disc drive, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for controlling a disc drive using a counter-electromotive force, which prevents collision and malfunction of a transducer and a disc by determining external vibrations and the magnitude of a shock without installing an additional shock sensor in a disc drive, are provided. The method for controlling a disc drive using a counter-electromotive force comprises (a) detecting a voltage applied to a voice coil during a predetermined mode, (b) performing an operation of the value of the counter-electromotive force using the voice coil voltage detected in (a), (c) comparing the value of the counter-electromotive force operated in (b) with a predetermined threshold, and (d) when the value of the counter-electromotive force is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold, controlling a voice coil motor and a spindle motor so that a current mode is stopped and a parking or unloading mode is executed.
