Head position control is implemented in a disk drive for the case in which a disk is assembled into the disk drive after a precise track is recorded onto it using an external apparatus, which is capable of high-speed access even if there is eccentricity between a track defined by servo information and the center of rotation of the track. Two phase servo bursts consisting of servo information are recorded onto each of the servo information regions of a disk surface, in mutual alternation, the strength ratio between signals detected from these two phase servo bursts being used to determine to which side the head is displaced. By performing control so that this strength ratio is a prescribed value at each angular position, control is achieved so that the head moves along a circular path of rotation, even if there is eccentricity in the servo circular path defined by the recorded servo information with respect to the center of rotation.

A photo-mask has a main pattern implemented by a photo-shield strip and an auxiliary pattern implemented by semi-transparent strips, and the photo-shield strip is equal in width to the semi-transparent strips so as to allow the photo-shield strip to be close to the resolution limit without destroy of the effects of the auxiliary pattern.

An apparatus and a method of reproducing a synchronization signal in a disc storage system. The apparatus includes disc mechanism having a plurality of information storage discs in one of which a predetermined servo pattern is recorded, and a corresponding plurality of reproducing heads, one of the heads reading the servo pattern from the corresponding disc to thereby output a servo signal, a synchronization signal demodulating unit, responsive to the servo signal from the disc mechanism, for demodulating a synchronization signal in synchronization with a rotation of the discs, a synchronization clock generating unit for generating a clock signal with a predetermined frequency in synchronization with the synchronization signal, and a gate unit. For a predetermined period, the gate unit prohibits a supply of the synchronization signal from the synchronization signal demodulating unit to the synchronization clock generating unit. As a result, it is possible to prevent an erroneous detection of a synchronization signal due to a spike noise, an undesirable signal by a defect of a medium, or the like, and thus realize a precise reproducing of the synchronization signal.

In a disk drive and a method for retrying to check data in the disk drive, a magnetic disk subsystem comprises a magnetic disk control unit and a drive module. The magnetic disk control unit is provided with a unit for controlling data check retry sequence which has a dummy write control unit. The drive module is provided with heads and a positioning unit. When the data read from the medium contain error, the above unit controls the data check retry sequence in order to read again the data using the same head. The dummy write control unit seeks a dummy write cylinder during the data check retry sequence, effects the dummy writing, seeks the original cylinder again, and reads the data again.

The improved two types of crystal modification of 2-m-toluidino-3-methyl-6-di-n-butylaminofluoran, as well as the crystalline toluene adduct thereof have high solubility in inner-phase solvent(s). Recording materials that use those compounds as electron donating color formers exhibit particularly good performance in various characteristics such as whiteness of the background, its storage stability, color rendition, sensitivity for color formation and image storage stability.

In a magnetic disk unit, a magnetic head to be activated is switched from a first magnetic head to a second magnetic head in accordance with an instruction supplied from a host system in a state where a plurality of magnetic heads are positioned at a cylinder on magnetic disks. The magnetic disk unit includes a digital servo controller for monitoring at predetermined intervals whether or not the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is supplied from the host system, a first output circuit for outputting a first signal for a predetermined time from a time at which the digital servo controller recognizes that the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is supplied from the host system, and a second output circuit for outputting a second signal at least from a time at which the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is input to the magnetic disk unit to a time at which the digital servo controller recognizes that the instruction is supplied from the host system. The first signal and the second signal indicate that the magnetic disk unit is busy adjusting the plurality of magnetic heads so that an off-track error of the second magnetic head is cancelled.
摘要:
A track access control system which is used in a rotating disc device, for positioning a servo head above a desired track by speed control and then position control. A timer starts when the head reaches a predetermined position which is out of a predetermined vicinity of the desired track, and when in the vicinity, the control is switched from the speed control to the position control. After a predetermined time has elapsed after the head reaches the predetermined position, the target speed is increased to push the head. Alternatively, after the predetermined time has elapsed after the head reaches the predetermined position, the control may be immediately switched from the speed control to the position control. In addition, in a return-to-zero operation, intervals between times the servo head passes over different tracks are monitored to detect a real speed of the head, and the target speed during the speed control is controlled according to the detected real speed.

A control system for a servo circuit has a speed control unit for controlling the speed of a servo object, a position control unit for controlling the position of the servo object, a switching unit for switching between the speed control unit and the position control unit, a main control unit, and optionally a speed zero detection circuit which compares the real speed and a slice level and detects if the real speed is less than a fixed value. The control system includes a method for producing a target speed using an amount of movement X in an amount of movement d as a remaining amount of movement, and producing a target speed of equal speed for a remaining amount of movement Y. Another method includes controlling the switching of position control of the servo circuit, determining if the conditions for switching to position control are met during speed control, monitoring conditions for switching for a fixed time X after detection of the switching conditions, switching position control when the switching conditions are met for the fixed time X, and returning to determine the switching conditions in accordance with the collapse of switching conditions within the fixed time. An additional method includes outputting a target speed using an amount of movement X as a remaining amount of movement, outputting a target speed of an equal speed of a remaining amount of movement Y, and switching the value of the slice level during the start of movement and after the movement.
