Abstract:
An optical storage apparatus has an eccentricity measuring unit that measures an eccentricity amplitude of a medium and an eccentricity phase for a start position along one rotation of a disk. A region from the start position to an end position of one rotation of the medium which was measured is divided into a plurality of regions every predetermined rotational angle, and addresses are sequentially allocated to those regions. A sine value of a rotational angle, which is increased every predetermined rotational angle, has been stored in each address in an eccentricity memory. A read control unit forms an address (a) in an eccentricity memory corresponding to a rotating position of the medium where a light beam is irradiated at present while using the start position of one rotation of the medium as a reference and reads out a corresponding sine value sin.theta.a from the eccentricity memory by the designation of the address (a). An eccentricity correcting unit obtains an eccentricity amount (L) on the basis of the sine value read out from the eccentricity memory and the measurement values measured by the eccentricity measuring unit, thereby controlling a VCM positioner so as to set off the eccentricity amount (L).
Abstract:
A method of adjusting a motor driving device which performs current-feedback PWM drive, the motor driving device, and an information storage device are provided. According to the present invention, a drive circuit is turned off by a control circuit, and a target current indication signal is gradually increased. The content of a register which stores the result of comparison between the output signal of a comparator circuit and the target current indication signal is then detected. If the content of the register is "1", i.e., if the output signal of the current sense circuit is smaller than a target current indication signal, the target current indication signal immediately before the output of the comparator circuit reaches "1" is stored as the reference value of the target current indication signal.
Abstract:
When a pull-in to a target track due to a turn-on of a tracking servo unit fails and a seek error is detected, a seek error processing unit turns on, for example, a low speed lens lock control unit and controls a VCM so as to set an optical axial deviation of an objective lens to zero, thereby subsequently allowing a retry seek to be executed. The turn-on of the low speed lens lock control unit by the seek error processing unit is performed for a specified time after the detection of the seek error.
Abstract:
The invention relates to biologically active substances coated with a coating composition containing at least one substance selected from the group consisting of hardened vegetable fats and oils, hardened animal fats and oils, fatty acid esters and phospholipids and an enzyme and/or enzyme activator where the outermost surface portion of the coating layer contains substantially no enzyme and/or enzyme activator. The invention materials exhibit excellent protection in the rumen of ruminant animals and allow for the dissolution in the post-abomasum lower digestive organs of the ruminant.
Abstract:
An ignition system for an internal combustion engine capable of starting the engine even when a battery voltage is insufficient for ignition. A secondary voltage feedback circuit connected to a secondary winding of a transformer constituting a part of a DC--DC converter rectifies a secondary voltage of polarity opposite to that of the voltage applied to an ignition capacitor. The rectified voltage is fed back to the output side of the battery to compensate for lowering of voltage supplied to an ignition control circuit (10) from the battery (3).
Abstract:
A focus servo control system for use in optical disk drive units prevents a large current from continuously flowing through a focus actuator coil FC when a focus error signal FES in the focus servo loop increases while a track servo loop is in an "off" state, thereby preventing deterioration of the coil FC. The focus servo control further includes a controller for detecting a length of time during which an "off" state of the track servo loop in a servo controller continues, and for turning off the focus servo loop or, alternatively, reducing the gain of the focus servo loop when the detected length of time exceeds a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A traction control system for a four-wheel steerable vehicle includes a reference value generating circuit for generating a reference value for detecting a slippage of a drive wheel in a driving state, an output torque control device for controlling the torque of the drive wheel on the basis of an output from said reference value generating circuit so as to bring said drive wheel into a predetermined slipping state, and a reference value correcting circuit for correcting the reference value on the basis of a rear wheel steering angle. This makes it possible to insure a steering stability in a critical condition when a misalignment has been produced in phases of the front and rear wheels.
