摘要:
According to the invention, techniques for minimizing power consumption in optical disk drives. Embodiments according to the present invention can provide disk drives with optimal positioning of a fixing part of an objective lens driving unit incorporated therein. Spatial location of magnets can also be determined in order to reduce the power consumption and the torsion of the lens.

The present invention relates to an information providing system. More particularly, this invention relates to an information management apparatus capable of reliable management of distributed information and an information providing system employing the same information management apparatus. The information management apparatus comprises a main information reproducing means for reproducing main information recorded in a given recording medium; and a reproduction management means for managing the main information reproducing means for reproducing the main information. The present invention provides a receiving means provided with a means for recording distributed information and control information limiting the number of main information reproducing cycles on a recording medium, and a main information reproducing means provided with a reproduction disabling means for limiting the reproduction of main information.

A tape run control unit in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is provided with a discrimination element and a control element. The discrimination element detects a stand-by time until a signal to be recorded is received in repositioning of the tape and generates a discrimination signal for discriminating the length of the stand-by time. The control element controls tape run driving unit such as a capstan motor during the reposition and controls the stop position of the tape such that a magnetic head scans the portion of the tape where no data is recorded. After completion of repositioning, furthermore, the control element works according to a discrimination signal so as to select the stop mode which involves the release of pinch roller when the stand-by time is long and to select the mode for simply stopping only the capstan when the stand-by time is short.

A tape loading mechanism for a video cassette recording apparatus in which a magnetic tape held in the cassette is withdrawn therefrom by a tape loading arm and is wound around a rotary cylinder. During this time, the cassette is fixed on the upper surface of a chassis having a cam bore, which is driven by a rotary arm in which a pin inserted in the cam bore is set up. This cam bore is provided with a first cam surface having a radius of curvature equal to that of a locus of a turning movement of the pin, a second cam surface formed continuously from the first cam surface and having a radius of curvature different from that of a locus of a turning movement of the pin, and a third cam surface formed continuously from the second cam surface and having a radius of curvature equal to that of a locus of a turning movement of the pin. Accordingly, the movement of the cassette is started at a predetermined period of time after the movement of the tape loading arm has been started, and it is completed before the movement of the tape loading arm has been completed.
