The present invention determines whether a filter is used for reading and writing on a disk to correct repeatable runout. The invention estimates the magnitude of repeatable runout for each disk by measuring the maximum absolute value of a state variable of a filter when the disk is turned on or when the disk returns from a sleep mode, and compares the measured value to a predetermined criterion such as the track width. If the magnitude of the repeatable runout is less than or equal to the predetermined criterion, the filter is not used. If the magnitude of the repeatable runout exceeds the predetermined criterion, the invention reads and writes data using the filter.

A disk drive apparatus and read error recovery method in a disk drive apparatus removes thermal asperities on disk surfaces. A projection, such as a thermal asperity, on the recording surfaces of disks is detected when a signal transducer head contacts the projection. The flying height of the signal transducer head is lowered, e.g., by changing the disk rotation speed from the normal rotation speed in read/write operations or by heating a suspension having a bimetal element, while the signal transducer head is positioned over the detected projection on the track. The signal transducer head strikes the projection to break the projection. This avoids a subsequent error from being caused by the thermal asperity.

A disk drive having embedded servo information accesses data without using sector identifier recorded in each sector. When a signal sector pulse signal (SP) at the end of a servo area is detected in a dead state during start up, a first data state for the start of a sector transits to a second data state for the litter region of the sector being divided in accordance with the capacity stored in a current sector's pointer register. At the beginning of the sector, the contents of a next sector's pointer register is stored in current sector's pointer register and the contents of a next sector's operation register is stored in a current sector's operation register. Upon completion of sector processing, the first data state is maintained when the next sector is contiguous. When a terminate instruction is stored in current sector's operation register, the process moves to dead state. When the servo area arrives, the process moves to idle state. Responsive to this state, the magnetic head is activated to enable read and write operation for sectors having no sector identifier on the disk.

Deflection control apparatus for registering the electron beam, rasters of electrostatic-deflection pick-up tubes of a three-tube color television camera includes a compensating voltage generator with inputs connected to receive horizontal and vertical sawtooth deflection signals provided from a deflection signal generator, and outputs providing compensating voltages to adjust for size, skew, and rotation. A combining circuit is provided to add the deflecting signals to the respective compensating voltages to generate adjusted compensating voltages for application to respective electrostatic deflection plates of certain ones of the tubes. For each adjusted deflecting signal, the combining circuit includes a transistor circuit having an input electrode coupled to receive the associated compensating voltage and an output electrode connected through a load resistor to an output of the deflecting signal generator. A pair of SEPP-arranged transistors are provided with their bases connected to the output electrode of the transistor circuit and with their emitters coupled together, through like-value emitter resistors, to a respective deflection plate of one of the tubes. The SEPP-configured transistors permit a high impedance to be presented to the deflection signal generator to minimize the power consumption thereof, and a low resistance to be presented to the deflection plates, to keep the latter from undesirably integrating the deflection sawtooth voltages.

A signal value representing at least one of a plurality of types of optical characteristics are calculated for each pixel from the read signal obtained and output by reading light reflected by a document placed on a document table and a document table cover while the document is covered with the cover. It is determined, based on the signal value calculated, whether or not a target pixel is a pixel in a document region. A document region is detected from the determination result.

摘要:
A refresh control circuit receives an interrupt signal, which is a request to refresh DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and which is asserted at predetermined timings. The refresh control circuit counts the number of times the interrupt signal is asserted, and asserts an interrupt subroutine start signal, which is an instruction to refresh the DRAM, in an idle state in which the DRAM is accessible from an external circuit, for a number of times that is equal to the number of times thus counted. When the interrupt subroutine start signal is asserted, a refresh circuit executes a predetermined interrupt subroutine, and supplies a refresh pattern to the DRAM.
