An electrostatic actuator includes a stationary element and a movable element. The stationary element has a surface which faces a surface of the moving element. Both the surface of the stationary element and the surface of the moving element have electrode lines disposed thereon, including a first set of parallel electrode lines and a second set of parallel electrode lines which are perpendicular to the lines in the first set. By facing the stationary surface and the movable surface towards each other such that the electrode lines of such surfaces are aligned, the movable element can be moved along either of two perpendicular axes when a voltage is applied to the electrode lines.

A motor has a stator and a rotor, the stator having cores and drive coils which generate magnetic fields for rotating the rotor. The stator also has a yoke surrounding the rotor and the rotor is positioned such that it is closer to one part of the outer periphery of the yoke than another part of the outer periphery of the yoke. Such a motor is particularly suitable for use in a disk drive unit as a spindle motor for rotating the disk. Then an actuator for moving a head may be located adjacent the part of the outer periphery of the yoke which is closest to the rotor. This permits the head to approach closely the axis of rotation of the disk without the spindle motor interferring with the movement of the head. The continuous yoke prevents magnetic flux leakage from the spindle motor interferring with the actuator. The actuator may itself have a yoke integral with the yoke of the spindle motor, and/or other components in common.

A linear actuator for e.g. a disk drive has a fixed member and a movable member. One of those members carries at least one track of permanent magnets extending in the direction in which the movable member is to move, with adjacent permanent magnets having alternate magnetic polarity. The other member has first and second drive parts, each having at least one pair of opposing sets of teeth. The moveable member or each track passes between those teeth. Each pair of teeth is associated with a corresponding drive coil giving the teeth a magnetic polarity so that there is a magnetic alignment between a polarity of the teeth and the permanent magnets. The drive parts are arranged so that, for any given relative position of the first and second members, the magnetic alignment of the teeth of one drive part is out of phase with the magnetic alignment of the teeth of the other part. In order to ensure that the magnetic alignments are out of phase, there may be a physical displacement between the teeth of the two drive parts. This displacement may be (m.+-.1/2).multidot.T.sub.p, where m is an integer and T.sub.p is the teeth pitch. This gives a phase displacement of 180.degree.. Alternatively, the drive parts may be aligned, and two tracks of permanent magnets be provided with the magnets thereof having opposite polarity for a given track position, or the drive current to the drive coils may be controlled to be out of phase.

A multiplication, division and square root extraction apparatus which calculates the solutions to addition, division and square root extraction functions by approximation using iteration has a multiplier, an adder-subtracter and a shifter of prescribed bit width connected to a bus. Iteration is conducted by inputting the output of the multiplier to the adder-subtracter or the shifter and returning the result to the input of the multiplier via the bus. A shifter and an arithmetic and logic unit connected to a second bus connected to the aforesaid bus via a switch have a greater bit width than the prescribed bit width and are used for large scale calculations, thus preventing a reduction in processing speed.

A pulse width control apparatus and method for controlling motor speed wherein the number of pulses relating to more speed feedback data is counted so as to control the speed of the motor in accordance with a speed command data and a pulse width modulation signal based on the counted number of pulses. A free-running hardware timer and a soft-timer on a program controlled by an instruction execution time of a microcomputer are arranged so that ON-time data and OFF-time data of the pulse width modulation signal are selectively set in one and the other of the hardware and soft-timers in dependence on values of the ON and OFF times, respectively. The ON and OFF states of the pulse width modulation signal are changed when the contents of the hardware and soft-timers reach predetermined values so as to control the pulse width thereof.

A method for detecting the position and the velocity by using an encoder mounted directly on a moving body wherein original signals of the encoder are pulse-width modulated by using a sampling carrier wave and the position is detected by measuring the width of the pulses thus obtained. An apparatus for implementing the method comprises a carrier wave generation circuit, a pulse width modulation circuit which pulse-width modulates the original signals coming from the encoder by using the carrier wave, a pulse width timer which measures the width of the pulses thus modulated, and a microcomputer connected to the pulse width timer.
