An optical disk apparatus has a galvanic mirror error signal generation circuit for detecting that the galvanic mirror rotates more than an allowed limit value in directions P and Q. When it is detected by the galvanic mirror error signal generation circuit that the galvanic mirror rotates more than the allowed limit value, the light intensity of the light spot is changed from the recording-use (or erasing-use) light intensity into the reproducing-use light intensity. Accordingly, recording and erasing of information is always carried out by the projection of the light beam having a predetermined light intensity, thereby always providing a high grade of optical disk apparatus.

The distance sensor means and the ultrasonic probe are integrally coupled to each other in such a manner that a preceding scanning line to a current scanning line which is scanned by the ultrasonic probe is scanned by the distance sensor means, and the shape-measurement scanning operation of the distance sensor means and the flaw-detection scanning operation of the ultrasonic probe are performed in parallel with each other. A flaw detection area is divided into plural sub-areas, and plural storing areas are arranged in a mesh form in one-to-one correspondence to the sub-areas, only one shape information of position storing area including the flaw detection area being stored in each of the storing areas. The position and orientation of the ultrasonic probe at each flaw detection point is controlled using the stored shape information.

An optical recording medium driving apparatus has the first high-pass filter for outputting a low frequency component removed signal by removing a low frequency component from a reproduction signal varying depending on a reflected light beam from the optical recording medium. The low frequency component removed signal changes due to transient response just after an access operation starts. Zero voltage is inputted to the second high-pass filter during a tracking operation while a voltage having a negative polarity which is substantially the same amplitude as the AC component of the low frequency component removed signal is inputted to the second high-pass filter. The first high-pass filter has the same time constant as the second high-pass filter. Just after the access operation starts, the negative voltage has the same transient response as the output of the first high-pass filter. The output of the first high-pass filter is compared to the output of the second high-pass filter in order to have a binary signal of the binary logic condition. A land is discriminated from a groove according to the binary signal, thereby enabling to access a target track in accuracy.

An information reproducing apparatus which has a rotating driver for rotating a disc-shaped recording medium, a floating-type head for reproducing information recorded in the recording medium while floating above the disc-shaped recording medium that is being rotated by the rotating driver, and a suspension, made of an elastic member, for supporting the floating-type head. The information reproducing apparatus is characterized in that the floating-type head has a slider which is floated by an air flow that is directed near the surface of the rotating disc-shaped recording medium, and that the slider has a bevelled portion at one side that faces the outer edge of the disc-shaped recording medium such that any contact between the slider and the ridge that exists along the outer edge area of the disc-shaped recording medium is virtually eliminated. Since the slider is virtually free from contacting the ridge that exists along the outer edge area of the disc-shaped recording medium, the storage capacity of the disc-shaped recording medium can be more effectively used.

A digital signal reproduction apparatus includes a first differential circuit for differentiating a reproduction signal reproduced from a recording medium. This differential circuit outputs a first order differential signal. A second differential circuit differentiates the first order differential signal of the reproduction signal and outputs a second order differential signal. A comparator compares the second order differential signal with a predetermined level to produce a window signal. A peak detecting circuit detects zero-cross points in the first order differential signal and outputs a peak detecting signal. A gate gates the peak detecting signal with the window signal to output a reproduction data signal.

An apparatus for recording and reproducing information on and from an optical disk includes a first control for producing a first control signal for controlling the rotational speed of a rotational driving apparatus, on the basis of the detected radial position; a judging apparatus which judges whether or not the reproduced signals are reproduced from a recorded region of the optical disk; a second control for producing a second control signal for controlling the rotational speed of the rotational driving apparatus, on the basis of the signals reproduced from the disk; and a switch apparatus which switches the circuit so that the rotational driving apparatus is controlled by the first control signal when the reproduced signals are not reproduced from a non-recorded region, and controlled by the second control signal when the reproduced signals are reproduced from a recorded region.

A disk recording checking method in which recording is performed on a disk having radially different recording tracks each divided circumferentially into a plurality of sectors. The method employs a continuous writing device for continuously writing data onto a predetermined number of the sectors, and a continuous checking device for checking the data, while continuously reading the data from the predetermined number of the sectors. The method utilized checks both the number of errors in each code sequence and the total number of errors in each sector to determine if the data in the sector is valid.

An automatic gain control device for use in an optical memory device has a circuit for producing an amplification control signal which is fed back to a gain control amplifier through a sample-hold circuit. A pulse train detection circuit is provided for detecting the pulse train indicating that the data stored are a on the optical memory device is being playedback. When the pulse train is detected, the sample-hold circuit is made inactive so that the amplification control signal is directly fed back to the gain control amplifier, and when the pulse train ends, the sample-hold circuit is made active to hold the amplification control signal obtained at the end of the pulse train and to produce the amplification control signal held in the sample-hold circuit.
