摘要:
An optical disk drive for recording and reproducing information on an optical disk medium includes a servo circuit for controlling tracking of a light beam on a predetermined track and a servo circuit for controlling focus of the light beam on the disk surface. The disk surface is divided into a plurality of regions, and calibration values for adjusting the servo circuits are determined in each region. The calibration values are stored in a memory and are used to adjust the servo circuits during tracking on a predetermined track. The calibration values include tracking offset values, focus offset values, servo deviation threshold values and sensor gain values. A number of techniques are disclosed for automatically determining the calibration values.

Disclosed in a system for recording, reproducing, and/or erasing information as recording pits on a recording medium. This medium has guide grooves for recording reproducing, and/or erasing the informatin signal. A condition whereby the value which is obtained by subtracting the groove width from the groove pitch is larger than a width of the recording pits is satisfied. A predetermined position for recording, reproducing, and/or erasing is set between the guide grooves. Alternatively, a condition whereby the width of a guide groove is larger than the width of a recording pit is satisfied. A predetermined position for recording, reproducing, and/or erasing is set on the guide groove.

Image feature values Va and Vh are derived from image data, coefficients C and D are determined based on the image feature values Va and Vb, and an approximate expression expressed with the file size Sfj of the JPEG compression file and the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived. Next, by designating the file size of a desired predetermined JPEG compression file based on the approximate expression, the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived, and a first quantization table as a reference is multiplied by the quantization data coefficient value Aqt, whereby a second quantization table is obtained. Then, using the second quantization table, the image data is actually JPEG-compressed.
摘要:
An optical disc recording apparatus which records data with a second rotation frequency on an optical disc containing a preliminarily written recording condition in relation to a first rotation frequency. The optical disc recording apparatus preliminarily possesses recording condition in relation to the first and second rotation frequencies. The optical disc recording apparatus initially reads the recording condition in relation to the first rotation frequency, and then, in accordance with the read-out recording condition in relation to the first rotation frequency and the stored recording condition in relation to the first and second rotation frequencies, the recording apparatus computes the recording condition applicable to the optical disc in relation to the second rotation frequency. Finally, the optical disc recording apparatus records data on the optical disc by applying the computed recording condition. In consequence, even when the recording condition in relation to the second rotation frequency is not yet known, the apparatus can securely execute the data recording operation.

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 optical data medium driving apparatus which constitutes amplifiers for an output current signal of a photosensor including a plurality of current mirror circuits having different amplification factors in order to switch, in a wide range, the output current signal of the photosensor. The photosensor detects a quantity of the reflected light corresponding to a variation of the quantity of reflected light from an optical data medium having various characteristics. The output is obtained with high accuracy and in a wide band. A servo-circuit is used for an AGC circuit and normalizes a difference signal from each light receiving surface at a photosensor having a plurality of light receiving surfaces. An A/D converter is given the difference signal as an analog input signal and the sum signal as the reference input signal. The A/D converter outputs an offset binary type digital signal, thereby being inexpensive to produce, easy to be integrated having high function, and high in reliability.
