摘要： According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive includes a disk, a first microactuator, a second microactuator and a servo controller. The disk comprises a first surface and a second surface. The first and second microactuators allow first and second heads associated with the first and second surfaces to make micromotion based on first and second operation amounts, respectively. The servo controller provides a third operation amount to the first microactuator as the first operation amount and provides an operation amount obtained by inverting a polarity of a frequency component with a particular frequency contained in the third operation amount, to the second microactuator as the second operation amount, if the third operation amount is generated as an operation amount to be provided to the first microactuator in a particular mode in which the first surface is used as a tracking surface.

摘要： A cassette auto changer system including a member for selectably providing a plurality of cassettes to be loaded into one or more tape signal readers. A cassette rack is provided including a plurality of cassette receiving compartments, a cassette port accessible from an outer side of the auto changer apparatus whereby cassettes may be inserted or removed from the auto changer apparatus, a tape transfer mechanism operable to selectably transport cassettes between the cassette rack and the tape signal reader, and the cassette port. A YES/NO sensor at the cassette port determines whether a cassette is present in the cassette port. In applicants' cassette auto changer system, when a YES indicator determined by the YES/NO sensor changes to a NO determination, a controller sets the cassette port an IN port empty condition. When in such IN port empty condition the YES/NO sensor changes to a YES condition to indicate the presence of a cassette in the cassette port, operation of the tape transfer mechanism to the cassette port is disabled and an IN port loaded condition is determined. When, in an IN port empty condition of the cassette port and operation of the tape transfer mechanism is detected by the YES/NO sensor, the controller determines an OUT port loaded condition of the cassette port. When in the OUT port loaded condition, a change from a YES indication to a NO indication is determined by the the YES/NO sensor, an IN port empty condition of the cassette port is determined by the controller.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of demodulating a position signal in a magnetic disk device for reading servo burst signals, which have been recorded in a servo area of a magnetic disk, by a head, and outputting a position signal, which indicates a deviation from a reference position on a track, using the servo burst signals that have been read. The position signal demodulating method includes (1) recording first and second servo burst signals in the servo area alternately in the radial direction, (2) digitally sampling the first and second servo burst signals, which have been read by the head, at a frequency two or more times greater than a servo burst signal frequency, (3) calculating area information of each of first and second servo burst signal waveforms by summing absolute values of the digitally sampled values in regard to each of the first and second servo burst signals, and (4) outputting, as a position signal, the difference between the area information of the first servo burst signal waveform and the area information of the second servo burst signal waveform.
