    摘要: A magneto-optical disk recording control method using the mark length recording method wherein the marks and gap regions between marks are recorded on the surface of the disk by maintaining a constant temperature distribution during the recording. The laser is driven to a non-recording level in gap regions between marks that exceed a base recording level used for reproduction of the marks. When a mark is recorded, the laser power is increased to a recording power level and after the mark has been recorded, the laser power level is reduced to the base power level, followed by being raised to the gap recording level. Control of the laser is performed by superposing a plurality of pulse trains that are synchronized with respect to a clock having a cycle T. The pulse trains are derived from the code train to be recorded and have pulses with a duration that is an integral multiple of (1/2)T. If the pulse width of the recording code train exceeds 2T, then the laser is controlled to reach a first power level in accordance with pulses of a first pulse train, be reduced to the gap recording level and then raised to a second power level in accordance with a second recording pulse train to maintain the temperature distribution constant during the recording of the mark. For the recording of longer marks, the laser is controlled to vary between the second power level and the gap recording level.

    摘要: An optical tape apparatus having improved focus and tracking control. An optical head records, reproduces, or rewrites data on an optical tape by helically scanning the tape with a laser beam. A guide plate is disposed between the optical head and the tape to prevent the beam from becoming unfocused due to fluctuation of the tape cuased by an air film between the optical head and the tape. The optical head contains a semiconductor laser and an optical system exhibiting chromatic aberration for directing the laser beam onto the tape. The optical system includes a condenser lens for focusing the beam onto the tape. Fine focus control is achieved by changing the wavelength of the laser beam by directing part of the beam reflected from the tape back to the laser, thereby changing the focal point of the beam by virtue of the chromatic aberration of the optical system. Coarse focus control is achieved by mounting the condenser lens on a piezoelectric actuator which moves the consenser lens to focus the beam onto the tape. A recording head for recording timing marks and tracking signals on the tape is disposed in advance of the optical head. A reading head reads the timing marks and the optical head reads the tracking signals. The timing marks and tracking signals are used to control the operation of the apparatus such that the tape is transported with a constant speed and data on diagonal signal tracks on the tape is accurately recorded, reproduced, or rewritten.

    摘要: A tape recorder of the present invention comprises a pair of feed and take-up spools for winding a tape as recording media, a rotatable drum rotated to wind and run the tape between the pair of spools over the drum surface helically, a head for recording, reproducing or erasing signals on the tape wound over said drum surface, and control means for controlling the relative positional relationship between the head and the tape wound over the drum surface based on an error signal such that said signals are stably recorded, reproduced or erased along a desired track, the control means having means for holding the error signal during the period in which the tape is discontinued over a drum surface. The value of the error signal at the time immediately before the tape disappears from the drum surface, or the value of the error signal at the time immediately after the tape reappears over the drum surface during the preceding rotation of the drum is used as the error signal to be held, thereby allowing to stably restart the positioning control when the tape reappears over the drum surface.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a disk drive that is capable of determining the offset of a magnetic head position through simple and easy processing in a case where the shingle write method is adopted, and that is capable of increasing the accuracy. In one embodiment, a disk drive comprises: a recording medium including data tracks, each of which is formed with part of the data track being overwritten by an adjacent data track on the inner circumferential side or by an adjacent data track on the outer circumferential side; a head assembly including a write head for writing information to the recording medium, and a read head for reading out information from the recording medium; and a control device for controlling a position of the head assembly relative to the recording medium. Position-error detection signals whose phases differ from each other are repeatedly written to the recording medium in the track direction with written positions of the position-error detection signals being deviated from each other by a track pitch in the track width direction; and the control device controls a position of the head assembly on the basis of a burst signal read by the read head.

    摘要: In a partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) signal detection and processing technique, reduction of data detection error events caused due to medium noise is achieved. For a PRML detection data result obtained after PRML data demodulation, a code error event that depends on a signal distance, and which has a high frequency of occurrences, is noticed and its occurrence probability is estimated. A locally-existing medium noise quantity is estimated from preceding and subsequent code patterns of the PRML detection data result. Based on this, the occurrence probability of the error event is compensated to improve the detection precision. As a result, data modulation with reliability higher than conventional maximum likelihood detection can be realized with a simple circuit structure.
