摘要:
In this invention, a driving circuit for moving a head in the radial direction on the recording surface of a disk is coupled to a velocity detecting circuit for detecting the velocity at which the head moves. A velocity profile is provided for storing information on the target velocity of the head. A driving signal generating circuit is coupled to the velocity profile and the velocity detecting circuit for comparing a signal from the velocity detecting circuit with a signal from the velocity profile. The driving signal generating circuit outputs a driving signal to the driving circuit based on the result of the comparison. A controller is coupled to the driving circuit for measuring a time required for moving the head a predetermined distance at a predetermined reference value, and modifying the driving signal based on the result of the comparison. Scatter in feedback quantities or fluctuation in the driving signal during velocity control is thereby corrected.

An optical disk drive apparatus operable under track following mode and seek mode wherein, upon the detection of a track following operation error, a seek operation is initiated for seeking a new target track at a predetermined number of tracks distant from the current track. The seek operation is controlled to follow a velocity profile thus regaining control over an optical head that may have been jolted into an out of control velocity when the track following error occurred. The velocity profile provides for a reduced velocity as the target track is approached. The new target track is selected at a relatively large number of tracks distant from the current track if the head velocity is high and at a relatively small number of current tracks if the head velocity is low. If the current track is sensed to be an outer track, the new target track is selected toward the inner track and if the current track is sensed to be an inner track, the new target track is selected to be an outer track.

The invention is a positive peak level comparator for generating a positive peak pulse when a TES (Tracking Error Signal) is higher than a predetermined positive level, a negative peak level comparator for generating a negative peak pulse when the TES is lower than a predetermined negative level, and a logic circuit for generating an output pulse when said positive peak pulse and said negative peak pulse have been alternately input thereto. The arrangement prevents the TES from being miscounted even if the TES is distrubed due to the occurrence of, for example, a noise at a level close to either said predetermined positive level or said predetermined negative level and either said peak pulse or said negative pulse is successively generated.

An optical disk drive includes a gain control for controlling the gain of a focus servo loop in response to the seek velocity of an optical head. At a low seek velocity, the focus servo gain is reduced to minimize the influence of beam scattering on the groove of an optical disk onto a focusing error signal (FES) and a tracking error signal (TES).

A method and apparatus for initializing disk drive apparatus wherein a pickup head is positioned near the mid-range of tracks on a disk by moving the head at power-on to an innermost track and thereafter moving the head outwardly. As outward movement begins, a tracking error signal is sensed to indicate a track crossing, and the number of tracks crossed are counted until the head is at the mid-range of tracks. A velocity profile is used to speed movement of the head to its destination.

A portable blower includes a casing (2) having an intake port (6) and a discharge port (7); an air passage (8) provided inside the casing (2) and connecting between the intake port (6) and the discharge port (7); a blower fan (17) arranged inside the air passage (8); a filter (16) arranged at the intake port (6); and a lid portion (3) openably fitted to the casing (2), the lid portion (3), when open, exposing the intake port (6) and, when closed, covering the intake port (6). When open, the lid portion (3) supports the casing (2) to let it stand on a table top. As the blower fan (17) is operated, outside air is introduced through the intake port (6) into the air passage (8) so as to be sent out through the discharge port (7).

In the case where an attribute of a general-purpose file to be processed is an attribute inhibiting printing, an MFP selects a transmission function, which is one of output functions of the MFP, as a function that can be performed (selected) in response to an output instruction, and displays a screen for transmission. In the case of an attribute permitting a document assembly function, the MFP determines that a bind function is a function that can be performed (selected), and displays a screen for the function. In the case of an attribute inhibiting the document assembly function, the MFP determines that a function of adding information to a file, which is one of the output functions of the MFP that does not implement the document assembly function, is a function that can be performed (selected), and displays a screen for the function.
