    摘要: An information processing apparatus utilizing a scanning tunnel microscope includes a probe, a detector for detecting the distance between the probe and an object opposed thereto, based on a physical interaction working between the probe and the object, an electrostatic actuator for displacing the probe, for adjusting the distance between the probe and the object. The electrostatic actuator includes mutually opposed two electrodes: A controller is provided for controlling the amount of charge to be accumulated between the electrodes, so as to maintain a desired distance between the probe and the object, based on the result of detection by the detector.

    摘要: An apparatus capable of detecting a displacement of a probe from a track of a recording medium caused by track fluctuations and vibrations at a recording/reproducing period. For example, a probe is maintained to vibrate at a frequency and in the direction perpendicular to a data train at a amplitude smaller than the width of the data train. In this case, the amplitude of a reproduced signal of the data train changes with the displacement between the probe and the data train. An envelope signal of the reproduced signal is phase detected using as a reference signal the vibration waveform (standard signal) at frequency f.sub.o of the probe, to obtain a signal proportional to the displacement from the data train. Using this signal, it becomes possible to feedback control the probe so as to make it trace the data train.

    摘要: Information recording/reproducing apparatus and method by use of probe electrodes are disclosed. In this method, information to be recorded on a recording medium is encoded. The encoded information is distributed to a plurality of probe electrodes. The plurality of probe electrodes are driven on the basis of the distributed information so as to record the information on the recording medium. In reproduction, the information recorded on the recording medium is read out from the recording medium by use of the plurality of probe electrodes. The information read out from the recording medium is stored by use of the plurality of probe electrodes. The stored information is decoded to reproduce the information recorded on the recording medium. The encoding is performed by changing the information to be recorded to information added with an error correction code.
