    摘要: A circuit for electronically compensating for optical and mechanical instabilities induced into the focus control and tracking control servo circuits of an optical disk apparatus. The circuit contains a filter and a variable gain amplifier for passing a tracking error signal compensation component at a selected frequency within the range of frequencies in which mechanical resonance is significant and at a magnitude equal to the focus error signal component at that frequency. The result is the electronic elimination of optical feedthrough at mechanically resonating frequencies. A calibration circuit establishes the compensation component magnitude for each optical disk inserted into the apparatus.

    摘要: An encryption communications appliance provides data encryption management for a data storage library. The appliance is coupled to an encryption-capable storage device, a data storage library controller within the data storage library and with an encryption key manager (EKM). The encryption command communications appliance intercepts encryption key requests from the data storage device and transparently forwards the requests to the EKM. The appliance also forwards transparently communications between the library controller and the data storage device.

    摘要: A method, a servo system and a tape drive are provided to acquire lock on a servo signal. The servo signals of at least one servo element are monitored to detect a valid servo signal. If a valid servo signal is not detected than the fine actuator is moved in a first direction until either a valid servo signal is detected or the fine actuator travel limit is reached. When a valid servo signal is detected, the fine actuator is set to a neutral position and the coarse actuator is moved in the first direction. When the fine actuator travel limit is reached the fine actuator is moved to the first position and the coarse actuator is moved in a second direction, opposite of the first direction.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing linear position (LPOS) estimations. If valid LPOS data may be detected from the tape, then a first method for LPOS estimation is performed using the Hall effect sensors. If valid LPOS data may not be detected from the tape, then an error recovery procedure (ERP) is invoked so that a second method for LPOS estimation is used to provide accurate LPOS information which is synchronized to a validly detected LPOS from tape within about 1 meter prior to the desired data record.
