摘要:
A memory apparatus for effecting the writing or reading of information on a recording medium by a probe has a base having the probe attached thereto, a substrate supporting the recording medium thereon and movable relative to the base, and a frame containing the base and the substrate therein, and the coefficients of linear expansion of the base and the substrate are made approximate to each other since the coefficients of linear expansion of the base and the substrate are approximate to each other, any relative positional deviation between the probe and the recording medium will not occur even if temperature changes.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for recording information on an information recording medium and/or reproducing information from the recording medium. Probes for recording and/or reproducing information and a support for supporting the probes are arranged so that the probes are positioned to face the information recording medium. The support and the information recording medium are relatively moved by sliding on sliding surfaces thereof. The distance between the support and the recording medium is roughly set by projections formed between the support and the recording medium, and is finely adjusted during operation by a mechanism for moving the probes.
摘要:
A method for detecting a slope of a surface of an information record medium in an apparatus for detecting/writing information using one or a plurality of probes from/in the information record medium. The surface of the information record medium is scanned using the probe. The information from the surface of the information record medium is detected through the probe when the scanning is executed, and the slope of the surface of the information record medium is detected on the basis of the detected information.

An information recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a recording medium having a plurality of segmented planar electrodes, a plurality of probe electrodes respectively facing and electrically connected to the plural planar electrodes, and a circuit for independently applying a voltage for recording and/or reproducing between each pair of the planar electrodes and the probe electrodes. The information recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a circuit for inputting information to be recorded on the recording medium. A memory other than the recording medium is used for temporarily storing the input information, and a control circuit applies the recording voltages between the plurality of probe electrodes and the segmented planar electrodes in correspondence with the information stored in the memory.
