In a disk drive actuator head stack assembly, magnetic transducers including magnetoresistive (MR) read heads are connected to a current source and configured to provide an MR sensor current to each MR head wherein the direction of current flow for the MR sensor current in each MR head is the same relative to the actuator for all of the MR heads in the actuator head stack. This configuration allows all of the MR heads in the head stack assembly to be initialized simultaneously by applying a homogeneous magnetic field to the head stack assembly, thus providing the capability of initializing the MR heads at the actuator or disk drive level rather than requiring that the MR heads be initialized individually.

Embodiments of the invention efficiently conduct servo corrections for preventing error propagation during SSW. In an example of the present invention, a servo position signal generator generates a servo position signal indicative of the current position of a read element on the basis of a servo signal from a servo channel. A target position generator generates correction data from multiply and add operations between the PES generated when the track that the read element is following is written, and pre-registered correction coefficients. A correction target position is generated from the correction data and a reference target position, and then output to a position error calculator. The position error calculator generates a position error signal (PES) from the servo position signal and the target position signal, and outputs PES to a servo controller. The servo controller generates a control signal (DACOUT) in accordance with PES, and a motor driver unit supplies an electric current of a required value to a VCM in accordance with the control signal.

A system for processing image data of a text document in compressed form wherein pel signals of the original image are stored in pel positions in an input image buffer and the pel signals stored in every other pel (EOP) positions in the input buffer are sequentially fetched, along with respective pluralities of neighboring pel signals stored in EOP positions and compressed by adaptive arithmetic compression to generate a first set of compressed data which is stored in a memory. The pel signals stored in remaining pel (RP) positions in the input image buffer are also sequentially fetched, along with respective pluralities of neighboring pel signals, including at least one signal stored in an RP position and a plurality of signals stored in EOP positions, and compressed by adaptive arithmetic compression to generate a second set of compressed data which is stored in a memory. The first and second sets of compressed data may be decompressed to reproduce the pel signals stored at EOP positions, and the pel signals stored in RP positions along with their respective pluralities of neighboring pel signals stored in EOP positions, and stored in an output image buffer. The fetching operation includes selecting one of a plurality of sampling windows, each having a different sampling pattern, for sampling the pel signals making up the first and second sets of data during compression and decompression to achieve the improved data volumes.

The invention directly controls the start of application of clock pulses to a shift register of an image sensor unit in synchronism with read signals supplied from a processor unit, to transfer video data of successive scan lines of an image. Transfer time of video data of one scan line from the shift register to the processor unit is compared to a predetermined time period. If the transfer time exceeds the predetermined time period, transfer of video data of the next scan line to the shfit register is allowed after the video data of the one scan line in the shift register has been transferred to the processor unit, whereby electric charges for the next scan line accumulated in the photodiodes are vanished. And, the video data of the next scan line in the shift register is discarded. In addition, the invention is devised to provide a data disposing cycle in the operation mode of the shift register in addition to the data reading cycle, so that, even when interruption from others causes the operation of the processor fetching the video data from the shift register to exceed a predetermined scanning time before completion of the operation, the data disposing cycle is inserted right after completion of the operation to disposed high level data that has been sensed for a long period of time by a photosensor of the sensor unit, and normal level data or image information properly representing an image being scanned is obtained.Furthermore, the invention reduces significantly the processing load of the processor with a simple hardware constitution by adding the operation of a run length counter, etc., so as to enable high speed linear data compression.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate to suppressing effects of the rotational jitter of a rotating medium during self-writing of patterns on the medium. In one embodiment, patterns are written on a track TE first. While a clock frequency is modulated using the difference between the readout time and target time of each pattern PE on the track TE, patterns PF are written on a track TF after a calculated delay time from the readout of each pattern PE. During pattern writing on the track TF, any timing errors of the patterns PE are stored into memory. While the target time for each pattern PF on the track TF is being corrected using the stored timing errors of the patterns PE and the clock frequency is being modulated using the difference between the readout time and corrected target time of each pattern PF, patterns PG are written on a track TG after a calculated delay time from the readout of each pattern PF.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing or enlarging an image. More specifically, this invention can increase or decrease the magnification ratio of an image even while scanning each line. This invention involves converting a first image with a first pel density to a second image with a second pel density. The intensity P of a new pel at a point p of the second image is represented by ##EQU1## where m is the number of reference pels of the first image that are sampled and that are within a given two-dimensional reference window when it is in a predetermined position corresponding to the point p, where Ii is the intensity of the i-th pel of the m sampled reference pels, and where .alpha.i is a contribution rate indicating how much the i-th pel contributes to the intensity P. Pre-calculated contribution rate data (.alpha.i) and pre-calculated shifting amount data indicating the relative amount the reference window is to be shifted are stored in a memory. The shifting amount data is used to position the reference window to a predetermined position where the m reference pels are sampled, and the contribution rate data and the values of the m sampled pels are used to determine the intensity P.

An image processing system to allow communication with input and output devices having varying resolutions. An image processing system converts an image into a compressed base image and successive levels of error correction data so that an output of the image may be provided with any desired level of resolution (up to that of the input) with further levels of resolution obtained through predictive techniques. Advantageously, the error coding data is arithmetically coded.
