A hard disk drive assembly that includes a device for limiting a movement of a head of a head gimbal assembly from a surface of a disk. The head is coupled to the disk and attached to a suspension of the head gimbal assembly. The invented device limits a distance that the head can move away from a surface of the disk. Limiting the distance that the head can move away from the surface of the disk, may reduce the impact force associated with the head slapping the disk, which may reduce damage associated with head slapping.

The present invention relates to a record carrier for storing a digital work (DW). The record carrier (10) comprises access information (KLT) for gaining access to the digital work and a secondary channel (HC) in which secondary channel information (KLK) is stored which is used for encrypting, decrypting or verifying the access information (KLT). In order to prevent, hinder or discourage tampering with the access information (KLT), the secondary channel (HC) is stored on the record carrier on substantially the same physical location as the access information (KLT). In a preferred embodiment, the secondary channel information (KLK) is changed when the access information (KLT) has changed. This realizes a record carrier for which a replay-attack is prevented. The invention further relates to a method for recording a digital work on a record carrier, a device for recording and a device for reading.

There is provided an objective lens used for at least three types of optical discs. When thicknesses of a first, second and third optical discs are respectively represented by t1, t2 and t3, t1 is 0.6 mm, t2 is 0.6 mm, and t3 is 1.2 mm. When numerical apertures for the first, second and third optical discs are respectively represented by NA1, NA2 and NA3, a relationship NA1nullNA2>NA3 is satisfied. When the first and second optical discs are used, collimated light beams is incident on the objective lens. When the third optical disc is used, a diverging beam is incident on the objective lens. The following conditions are satisfied: null0.02

The present invention provides a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, a magnetic recording and reproducing method, and a thin film magnetic head that enable a good contact between elements and a recording medium with a reduced track pitch even if the number of head channels is increased, thereby realizing high recording density and high transfer rate. At least one multitrack write head having N (N is an integer of 2 or more) write elements arranged along a track width direction in an integral fashion and at least one multitrack read head having L (L is an integer equal to or more than N) read elements arranged along the track width direction in an integral fashion are formed on the rotary drum. The multitrack write head writes signals to a group of N tracks aligned parallel on the magnetic tape during one rotation of the rotary drum, and the multitrack read head reads the group of N signal tracks by the use of any one of the L read elements.

A package includes a thermoformed web or support member, an optical data storage medium disposed in a cavity of the thermoformed web, or on the support member; and a covering web disposed on the optical data storage medium, and on the thermoformed web or support member, and in sealing relationship to the thermoformed web or support member; where each of the thermoformed web or support member, and the covering web, includes an oxygen barrier; and where at least one of the thermoformed web or support member, and the covering web, includes an oxygen scavenger. Methods of making the package are also disclosed. In addition to, or alternatively to including the oxygen scavenger in at least one of the thermoformed or support member, and the covering web, the oxygen scavenger can be disposed on the optical medium, e.g. in the form of a disc, coating, label, pellet, wafer, or flattened sachet.

Novel, quick, and reliable detection methods for determining the authenticity of optical and/or audio disc articles (such as compact discs, digital video discs, CD-ROM discs, and the like) are provided. Such a method basically entails the incorporation of an identifier or marking means within the edges of target optical discs or within any other portion of a target disc such that exposure to non-visible light sources will provide the desired identification upon irradiation or detection of the marking means therein. Such an identifier or marking agent thus may be utilized in conjunction with a transparent holding case whereby the needed light source may be exposed through the transparent walls thereof to permit detection of counterfeit or authentic discs without requiring opening of the case itself. Such a method may also be utilized for discs that are removed from or have not been placed and sealed within such a case as well. Specific methods of utilizing particular transparent cases are thus also encompassed within this invention. Specific methods of utilizing particular transparent cases are thus also encompassed within this invention as are novel storage unit configurations to maximize the benefits of the transparent properties thereof.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a disk player by which position detection of a disk inserted and discrimination about whether the disk is a large one or a small one can be performed through a simple construction. A circuit board is provided either one side of a pair of detection levers which are rotated to be spread/closed while mutually interlocking with insertion of a disk or a disk guide board to which the detection levers are attached and a contact is provided on the other, and a rotary switch is composed of the circuit board and the contact so that through difference in output signal of the rotary switch, position detection of a disk and discrimination about whether the disk is a large one or a small one are performed.

A data storage device comprises a removable and replaceable magnetic tape cassette provided with a software control write protect switch. The switch is adapted to have a first condition in which data may be written to said magnetic tape and a second condition in which said switch is adapted to cause the blocking of a write operation to said tape. The switch is contained within a non-volatile electronic memory device and is electronically configurable between its first and second conditions remotely via a control signal.
