    摘要: One disclosed embodiment may comprise an interpolation system that includes an interpolator that interpolates between a selected phase from a preceding cycle and a selected phase from a current cycle to provide an interpolated phase for the current cycle. An edge of the interpolated phase for the current cycle has reduced jitter relative to an edge of a corresponding phase of the current cycle. A delay system delays a plurality of other phases of the current cycle to provide delayed other phases, the delayed other phases and the interpolated phase for the current cycle collectively defining a set of adjusted phases for the current cycle.

    摘要: A small toroidal inductor is mounted by inserting a high valued resistor or a ceramic coil form into the central hole of the toroid. The fine leads of the inductor are then soldered to the much stiffer leads of the part that has been inserted. These stiffer leads may be bent in any desired way, and will hold their shape. This makes insertion easier and is strong enough to withstand the necessary amounts of shock and vibration. The toroid may be glued or otherwise affixed with an adhesive to the resistor or coil form.

    摘要: A scheme for digitizing a stationary video image is disclosed. The amplitude of a video signal, representing said video image, is sampled at a plurality of points along the time axis and is compared with the count in a counter. If the amplitude equals the count at a particular point on the time axis, the count is stored in a memory in a location corresponding to said particular point. The process is repeated until a count in the counter is stored in said memory in locations corresponding to all of said plurality of points along the time axis of said video signal. If two or more counters are used, each counting from a different initial value, and if two or more corresponding comparators are used to make the above comparison, the time required to digitize said stationary video image may be reduced. Consequently, the time required for the video image to remain stationary is reduced.

    摘要: A switching power supply that uses the intrinsic series resistance of an output bypass capacitor to sense changes in current flow through a switch that is connects between the input and output of the switching power supply. When the switch runs on, current flows from the input to the output and through a bypass capacitor. The intrinsic series resistance of the bypass capacitor develops a voltage across it as current flows through the capacitor. This voltage is used by a sense circuit to help determine when to shut off the switch. A low-cost regulator develops an output voltage that is divided and compared to a reference to determine if the input voltage is sufficient. If it is not, the power supply is not allowed to operate and the switch is not allowed to turn on.

    摘要: A method of calibrating signal processing circuitry in a magnetic data storage device. The method ensures that an adequate signal-to-noise ratio is achieved when reading a head-position calibration signal. First, discrimination thresholds are set to an initial low value. Then, with wide bandwidth and stationary media, amplifier gain is calibrated by adjusting gain to make the amplitude of amplified background noise equal to the initial threshold value. Finally, bandwidth is reduced and the discrimination thresholds are raised to a final value. The final threshold value ensures that a signal must exceed a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio before the signal is accepted as being valid.

    摘要: A degaussing system for a CRT includes a voltage source, which is enabled by power-up of the CRT, coupled to a tank circuit including a degaussing coil and a capacitor. A voltage sensing network connected in parallel with the tank circuit senses the voltage across the capacitor and when that voltage rises to a predetermined threshold, and actuating signal is provided which turns on a latching switch circuit which enables a switch connecting the tank circuit to ground. This allows it to oscillate, taking the metal components of the CRT through a decreasing series of hysteresis loops as the oscillation decays. The latching switch circuit maintains the switch in an on position until power-down of the CRT, thus maintaining all except R1 which aids grid regulation of the components of the degaussing system, in a low voltage state until degaussing becomes necessary once again.

    摘要: A system and method for reducing non-repeatable positioning errors. Non-repeatable positioning errors caused by the effects stiction and backlash in the mechanical system are reduced by "shaking" or vibrating the positioning system in a controlled manner. After the system input is set to the desired value, the positioning system is "shaken" by inputting a series of offsets that oscillate around the desired location and gradually decrease in amplitude, eventually reaching zero. In a specific embodiment, a lead screw is threaded through a follower nut which is connected to a magnetic tape read/write head. The lead screw is rotated by a mechanical transmission which provides gear reduction from a computer controlled stepper motor. The tape head's non-repeatable positioning error is reduced by alternately stepping the stepper motor in opposite directions a specified number of steps and periodically reducing the specified number of steps until zero is eventually reached.
