A button assembly of a dishwasher is provided. The button assembly includes a button portion and a front panel. The button portion has a button head for a user to press and a button body extending down from the button head. A button connecting portion connects a plurality of button bodies, and hence, a plurality of button portions along one piece. The button portion is installed at the rear of the front panel.

Abstract:
A high density compact disc having tracks for recording large amounts of information reproducible for a long interval of time is disclosed. In order to increase the track density, a recording surface on a substrate is divided into grooves and lands to thereby form tracks, and pits representing information signals are arranged in both the grooves and the lands. Here, the groove is formed at an optimized predetermined depth, depending on the wavelength of light used to read the information recorded on the disc and the refractive index of a disc substrate, to thereby reduce crosstalk caused by pits of an adjacent groove or land during reproduction. Accordingly, the present invention is effective in enhancing the practicality of the compact disc as a medium for preserving large amounts of information.
Abstract:
A high-density magneto-optical disk apparatus is provided for removing a cross talk between signals of an adjacent track with respect to a track to be reproduced during reproduction of a signal recorded on a magneto-optical disk. In the case that a track pitch is narrowed for high-density recording in a magneto-optical disk apparatus, a cross talk occurs between a track to be detected and an adjacent track thereto. The magneto-optical disk apparatus uses a phase modulation optical element to form an optical spot having a linear polarizing state in a reproduction track and a circular polarizing state in an adjacent track, on the recording surface of the magneto-optical disk. Accordingly, although a track pitch is considerably reduced compared with the optical spot, a signal interference effect, that is, a cross talk between tracks can be removed to thereby provide a high-density magneto-optical disk.

Abstract:
A method of generating a 1-beam tracking error signal (TES), an optical pickup device, and an optical disc drive device adopting the method. A light-receiving element receives a single reflection beam and detects an alternating current (AC) component and a direct current (DC) component from each of areas formed on two sides of a data track. A servo unit generates a TES by adding and subtracting the AC component and the DC component.
