An information recording medium (100) is provided with: a first recording layer (L0) in which record information is recorded toward one direction directed from an inner circumferential side to an outer circumferential side, or directed from the outer circumferential side to the inner circumferential side, by irradiating laser light (LB) thereon; and a second recording layer (L1) in which the record information is recorded toward another direction which is different from the one direction, by irradiating the laser light thereon, directions of recording the record information being equal, in a particular recording area for focus-in of the laser light in said first recording layer and in at least one recording area of said second recording layer corresponding to the particular recording area.

An optical recording medium which can produce a read signal free from waveform distortion during reproduction of information. The optical recording medium comprises groove information tracks on which information pits carrying information data is to be formed, and prepit tracks provided with a plurality of previously formed land prepits connected to the groove information tracks. The groove information tracks and the prepit tracks are arranged in alternation. The groove information track has a track width smaller in at least a part of each of sections in which the land prepit exists than in sections in which no land prepit exists.

A recording medium comprises pairs of groove tracks and land tracks provided side by side while being bent periodically, a plurality of land prepits previously formed on the land tracks and carrying information about the groove tracks, and a recording layer formed on at least the groove tracks and the land tracks. The land prepits have a radius of a curvature smaller than a radius of a curvature of sides of the groove tracks in land-prepit absent regions of the land prepits and are defined by curved surfaces continuously extending from the sides of the groove tracks. Those sides of the groove tracks which face the continuous curved surfaces of the land prepits are curved surfaces that stricture the groove tracks.

An information recording and reproducing device diffracts by a diffracting means (14) to make laser light separated into a main beam and a sub-beam, irradiates evanescent light in relation to the main beam, by an evanescent light generating means (21), to a track where a recording pit provided on a recording surface of a recording medium is formed and also irradiates evanescent light in relation to the sub-beam to be separated to a track where no recording pit provided on the recording surface of the recording medium is formed. A moving means (210) moves the evanescent light generating means to a direction to change a gap with the recording surface. Further, a judging means (40) judges an uneven state of the recording pit formed on the recording medium, a signal generating means (3161) generates a gap error signal from a signal indicative of a return light amount in relation to the sub-beam or the main beam in accordance with the result, a control means (315) controls the moving means in accordance with a gap error signal so as to make the gap become a target value in response to the uneven state to be judged.

An information recording/reproducing device diffracts laser light into main- and sub-beams, irradiates evanescent light in relation to the main beam by an evanescent light generating element to a track where a recording pit provided on a recording surface of a recording medium is formed and evanescent light in relation to the sub-beam to be separated to a track where no recording pit provided on the recording surface of the recording medium is formed. A moving element moves the evanescent light generating element to change a gap with the recording surface. Return light in relation to the sub- and main-beam are received by sub- and main-light receiving elements, respectively. A control element controls the moving element so as to make the gap become a predetermined target value in accordance with a gap error signal containing a signal indicative of an amount of the return light in relation to the received sub-beam.

In a recording strategy suitable for high-speed recording, a laser driving signal includes a top pulse having a pulse width corresponding to a recording mark length and multi-pulses having a period 3-times larger than a base clock period of a recording mark. The top pulse is has the first identical-shape top pulses when the recording mark length is 3 nT (“n” is a natural number), the second identical-shape top pulses when the recording mark length is (3 n+1)T, and the third identical-shape top pulses when the recording mark length is (3n+2)T.

摘要:
A drive pulse for writing is generated based on a data pulse signal to be recorded, a light source element is driven with this drive pulse to obtain a beam of light, and this beam of light is irradiated onto an optical recording medium to record the data pulse signal on the optical recording medium. When the drive pulse is generated, a write pulse is generated based on the data pulse signal, and compared with a beam intensity signal representing intensity of the beam of light to optimally control a pulse width of the drive pulse.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus uses a switching element to switch current flowing to an excitation coil, so that a heating layer in a fixing member produces heat that fixes an image to a transported sheet. Based on a change in temperature of the switching element over time, a prediction unit determines, at a predetermined first time point, a predicted temperature of the switching element at a second time point at which a tip of the sheet is scheduled to arrive at the fixing member. When the predicted temperature is at least a predetermined value, a control unit controls power supplied to the excitation coil by restricting switching of the switching element and lifting the restriction, so that by the second time point the detected temperature of the fixing member reaches a temperature necessary for fixing.

The abnormality detection system is provided for detecting an abnormality of an object. The abnormality detection system includes a high-frequency power source, a primary coil, a secondary coil and a controller. The high-frequency power source supplies power. The primary coil receives the power supplied from the high-frequency power source. The secondary coil is mounted to the object in noncontact with the primary coil for receiving power supplied from the primary coil. The controller is operable to detect the power received by the secondary coil and also to determine whether or not an abnormality is present in the object based on the detected power.
