摘要:
The present invention solves a problem that useless or wasted space exists on a data recording disk between read/write heads of narrower head width than others in the case that an uniform track pitch is used, and a head width of each head varies due to a fabrication tolerance. A data recording disk of the present invention comprises a first data recording surface and a second data recording surface, and a track pitch of adjacent data recording tracks of the first data recording surface differs from a track pitch of adjacent data recording tracks of the second data recording surface. All data recording tracks of the first data recording surface have substantially the same track width, and all gaps of the first data recording surface have substantially the same gap width, and, all data recording tracks of the second data recording surface have substantially the same track width, and all gaps of the second data recording surface have substantially the same gap width.

A method and apparatus for accurately positioning the magnetic head of disk drives is disclosed. A recording medium is provided having two radial data structures formed thereon. Each radial data structure includes two parallel and adjacent data burst pattern trains. The first burst pattern is defined by a first side centrally aligned with a concentric data track and a second side opposed to the first side and centrally aligned with an adjacent concentric data track. The third burst pattern is defined by a third side spaced apart from the first side of the first burst pattern by a distance not greater than the read width of a magnetic head and a fourth side opposed to the third side and spaced apart from the second side by a distance not greater than the read width. The first radial data structure generates a first signal for positioning the magnetic head relative to the recording medium. The second radial data structure, parallel and offset from the first data structure, generates a second head position signal. Thus, the second head position signal is detected before the first head position signal becomes undetectable.

The data possessed by a parent hard disk drive is exported to a baby hard disk drive, which is connected to the parent hard disk drive, and thus, the baby hard disk drive executes by itself an optimization/inspection process including writing of servo information. A hard disk drive is reproduced by incorporating “DNA” used for reproduction into each hard disk drive, and then, by performing self-optimization and/or self-inspection by a new hard disk drive (baby hard disk drive), according to information supplied by a finished hard disk drive (parent hard disk drive).

A servo system wherein a read head R detects a servo pattern that is written on a magnetic disk by a write head W. Position control of the write head W is exercised in accordance with the detected servo pattern, and the read head R detects a propagation pattern that is written on the magnetic disk by the write head W. Position of the write head W is corrected in accordance with the detected propagation pattern.

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.
