摘要:
An apparatus includes an amplifier that employs a bias current to drive a print nozzle. A current reduction module can be employed to offset the bias current and to reduce a portion of the bias current from appearing in a subsequent stage to the amplifier in order to mitigate power in the subsequent stage.

A system provides a signal to an actuator within an optical pickup unit of an optical disk drive. In one implementation, SUM signal data (an output from the quad sensors typically present in the optical pickup unit) is recorded within a SUM table. An error term generator processes the SUM signal data from the SUM table to produce an error term. An actuator control signal generator generates a signal to control movement of the actuator, wherein the signal is a function of a prior actuator position, the error term and an adaptation coefficient, wherein the adaptation coefficient impacts a rate at which the error term is allowed to modify the prior actuator position.

A method is provided for recording an image on a recording medium using an input beam coupled to the electromagnetic radiation source to provide a visible mark on the recording medium. The method comprises shaping the input beam to provide a modified beam have a first dimension in a first direction greater than a second dimension in a second direction, and applying the modified beam to the recording medium to form the visible mark.

A method of compensating for output variations in laser power output over time in a system using a laser to record visible marks on an optical disc, the method comprising (a) applying a test light beam from the laser to the optical disc to determine a test value of an optical parameter, (b) determining a difference between the test value and a predetermined reference value for the optical parameter, and (c) adjusting the laser power output to compensate for the difference.

A method for selectively marking a surface of an optical disk includes providing an optical disk, wherein the optical disk includes a metal, an electrolyte disposed on the metal, and a photoconductor disposed on the electrolyte, applying a voltage to the optical disk, the voltage being associated with a desired anodization color, and selectively applying a laser to the photoconductor to initiate anodization of the metal.

Focus calibration in an optical drive. Optics are moved with respect to a disc in the optical drive. A first interface of the disc is optically detected at a first distance, and a first drive signal value is detected at the first interface. A drive signal change is determined using a second drive signal value at a second distance. A gain is determined using the drive signal change and a thickness associated with the first and second distances.
摘要:
A method of measuring a relative darkness of an image recorded on a recording medium, comprising: applying first electromagnetic energy having a first wavelength to the recording medium to record an image thereon, applying second electromagnetic energy having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength to the recorded image on the recording medium, and measuring a reflection of the second electromagnetic energy from the recorded image to determine the relative darkness of the recorded image.
摘要:
A method for writing data on optical media includes sequentially outputting the same data to an array of laser heads over time so that the laser heads generate laser beams to write the same data to approximately the same location on the media.
