摘要:
According to an aspect of this invention the optical disc drive comprises an arrangement for preliminarily moving the optical pickup unit to a predetermined position of the optical disc before carrying out reading/writing of data for the optical disc, a measuring arrangement for measuring a peak level of an HF signal obtained by the optical pickup unit with a rotation speed of the optical disc changed, an arrangement for using, as a reference level, the peak level of the HF signal obtained by the optical pickup unit on rotating the optical disc at a low rotation speed without effect on stress, an estimating arrangement for estimating an amount of double refraction of the optical disc using the reference level and a peak level of the HF signal measured on rotating the optical disc at a desired rotation speed, and a reducing arrangement for reducing the rotation speed of the optical disc by determining the influence of the double refraction of the optical disc caused by the stress occurring by rotation of the optical disc when the estimated amount of double refraction is not less than a predetermined amount of double refraction.
摘要:
A data storage device (40) for receiving a removable disk cartridge (10) comprises first and second members (70, 72) movably mounted in the data storage device. Each movable member is adapted to perform a respective function within the disk drive. A first spring (90) is coupled to the first movable member (70) for biasing the first movable member in a first direction, and a second spring (92) is coupled to the second movable member (72) for biasing the second movable member in the same direction. A single electro-mechanical device (74) has a drive shaft (76) that engages the first and second movable members at different positions during its travel from an extended position to a retracted position. By applying different currents to the electro-mechanical device (74), the first and second movable members can be operated independently. The data storage device therefore can achieve two functions using only a single electro-mechanical device.
