摘要:
When recording, reproducing or erasing data signal by illuminating a recording medium surface with a condensed light spot, a tracking sensor signal or a focusing sensor signal is detected from light reflected from the recording medium surface. The detected signal is subjected to current-to-voltage conversion, and the current-to-voltage conversion gain is switched by estimating reflected light power from the recording medium surface.

A miniaturized optical disk apparatus which performs a pull-in of a focus servo and a pull-in of a tracking servo without a position detector for detecting an optical head. If the optical head is located at a non-reflection film area and thus the focus servo cannot be performed, then the optical head is moved and the focus servo is performed again. This process is repeated until the focus servo can be achieved. In addition, if the optical head is located at a non-track area, then the optical disk is moved to a track area and then the tracking servo is performed. This process also repeated until the optical head is located over the track area. The tracking servo can be stably performed since it is performed only when the optical head is located over the track area. The present invention is applicable to the optical disk apparatus which uses a 3.5 in optical disk.

An apparatus in accordance with the present invention sequentially fixes the wavelength of a light beam irradiated from a light source whose oscillation wavelength sequentially varies to a plurality of different wavelengths to a recording medium to required wavelengths each capable of forming a hole at absorption spectrum of the recording medium, synchronizes timing of change of the wavelength of the light source with timing of recording or regenerating each bit of information, records the optical hole formed in a manner that each bit of information corresponds to the wavelength varying in sequence, and detects the formed hole to regenerate information. Furthermore, the holes formed by the same wavelength are recorded at the positions separated by a distance capable of avoiding interference, while the holes formed by different wavelengths in correspondence to each bit of information are recorded at nearly the same position while that position is slightly displaced at a time, and thereby information is multiple-recorded with high density.

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks. Each information track having a data field including multiple data bytes and a servo field including a first servo byte having a pair of wobbled pits and a second servo byte having a clock pit. The byte length of at least one of the first or second servo bytes being longer than the byte lengths of the data bytes. The increased byte length providing for greater distance between the wobbled pits and the clock pit resulting in increased reliability in clock pit detection. An accessing apparatus for accessing such an optical disc including a phase-locked loop circuit with a frequency dividing ratio that varies in accordance with the various byte lengths.

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks, each information track having a servo field including a pair of wobbled pits and the clock pit. The distance between one of the wobbled pits and the clock pit in each servo field is selected so that the optical disc includes at least three different types of servo field. These different types of servo field appear in a predetermined sequence for every one or more contiguous information tracks. A transducing apparatus for tranducing such an optical disc has a direction detecting circuit for detecting the moving velocity of a movable portion of an optical head, and a speed detecting circuit for detecting the relative velocity of the movable portion.

In an optical disk storage, the seek of an optical head is controlled so that the number of seek times cannot exceed a threshold number of times in a predetermined period or an accumulated seek period cannot exceed a threshold period in a predetermined period. Therefore, a wasteful power consumption and a rise in the internal temperature associated with the seek activity can be effectively prevented.

摘要:
A magneto-optic recording medium has a cartridge provided with a magnetization direction indicating portion for indicating the direction of magnetization of a second magnetic layer. Alternatively, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is recorded in advance in the first magnetic layer. The direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer indicated or recorded is detected and recognized. A magnetic field oriented in an opposite direction to the direction of magnetization detected is imparted to the magneto-optic recording medium. Alternatively, predetermined information is recorded in the first magnetic layer, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is detected on the basis of a signal reproducing that information, and the direction of a magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set on the basis of the direction of magnetization thus detected. In addition, the direction of the magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set and the output of a light beam is changed on the basis of the direction of the second magnetic layer detected.

An information collecting system includes at least one terminal and an application server. The application server includes a receiving section for receiving input information transmitted from the terminal to the information processing center via the network; an information processing section for deciding as to the information received, and for constructing a picture to be displayed on the terminal in response to a decision result; and a transmitting section for transmitting the picture generated by the information processing section to the terminal. The application server further comprises a differential detector for detecting a difference between the client display picture stored in a storage and a client display picture newly generated by a client display screen constructor, wherein said transmitting section transmits only differential information detected by said differential detector to said terminal.
