摘要:
The present invention relates to an audio signal coding and decoding device for coding and decoding an audio signal using an adaptive differential coding system. The audio signal coding and decoding device according to the present invention comprises an adaptive differential pulse code modulation coding device for coding an audio signal, an adaptive differential pulse code modulation decoding device for decoding the audio signal coded, an integrator provided in the preceding stage of the coding device and for decreasing the variation between unit samples of the input audio signal of the coding device, and a differentiator provided in the succeeding stage of the decoding device and for processing the audio signal decoded by the decoding device so that the variation decreased by the integrator is restored to the original one. Since the integrator is provided in the preceding stage of the coding device, the variation between the unit samples of the input audio signal of the coding device is decreased. Therefore, a prediction error signal obtained by the coding device is decreased. As a result, quantizer step-size is decreased, resulting in a reduced quantization error.

An optical disk comprising two layers including a signal recording layer and an image recording layer further comprises a metal reflective layer formed on a surface of the image recording layer on the incidence side of laser light. The image recording layer is capable of forming a visible image in response to an increase in temperature caused by application of laser light to the metal reflective layer. The visible image is capable of being visually observed from a side opposite to the incidence side.

Read data is given reproduction processing, including data correction, in synchronism with a bit clock. A disk with signals recorded thereon according to a constant linear velocity method is able to be rotated under control according to a constant angular velocity method. The rotation controller is set free from the control by the operation suspend controller. With this arrangement, the disk continues to rotate even when data writing to the buffer memory is suspended, and, upon resumption of a signal reading from the desk, signal processing is promptly carried out to a signal read from the disk, irrespective of the radial dimension of the point from which the signal was read on the disk.

An operation for recording a recording signal onto a disk (1) is interrupted, when an amount of signal data stored in a buffer RAM (11) for temporarily storing the recording signal is less than an interruption setting value during performing of the recording operation. Moreover, when the amount of signal data stored in the buffer RAM (11) increases and indicates a resumption setting value, the signal recorded on the disk (1) before interruption is reproduced, and the recording operation is resumed based on the reproduced signal. Moreover, recording properties are detected by the signal reproduced before resumption of recording.
摘要:
A data recorder for recording data that records data in a continuous manner regardless of interruptions. An encoder encodes data that is to be written to a recording medium. A synchronizing circuit synchronizes the data read from the recording medium with the encoded data when the writing of data to the recording medium is interrupted. A first retry determination circuit determines whether an address of the data read from the recording medium and an address of the data provided to the encoder match. A second retry determination circuit determines whether the timing for reading data from recording medium and the timing for encoding data match. A restart circuit restarts the writing of data to the recording medium based on the determinations of the first and second retry determination circuits.
摘要:
An optical disc apparatus which realizes high density disc recording using an existing disc and an existing recording signal processor. When recording data on a recordable disc corresponding to an existing first standard, either one of first and second recording signal processors 9 and 10 can be selectively used, so that data recording in the high density recording mode which allows data generated by the second recording signal processor 10 to be recorded on a recordable disc corresponding to the first standard can be performed. As a result, the existing second standard data format can be used with regard to a disc corresponding to the existing first standard, so that recording can be performed at a higher density than when the first standard data format is used for the same disc, thereby increasing recording capacity.
摘要:
To provide a method for optimizing the optical output from an optical head when recording data onto an optical disk, each time a suspension of data recording onto the disk is determined, the optical head reads data recorded onto the disk before the suspension, and recording state of this data is judged. Based on the judged recording state, the optical output from the optical head to be emitted when resuming the data recording is controlled. A timing at which to suspend data recording can be desirably set, so that the recording state of the recorded data in the disk can be judged at desirable timing in data recording operation, so that the optical output from the optical head is controlled based on the judged recording state.
摘要:
A data recording equipment that accurately restarts the writing of data to an optical disc after data recording is interrupted. The equipment interrupts recording when detecting an external shock or when predicting the occurrence of a buffer underrun error. The equipment includes a counter, which counts execution of recording data on the optical disc and generates a count value indicating the amount of data that is recorded, and a control unit, which is connected to the counter to hold the count value of the counter immediately before an interruption when the recording of data is interrupted. The unit re-irradiates a position on the optical disc, on which data prior to the data recorded immediately before the interruption is recorded. The init controls restart of the recording based on the held count value while recognizing the position of the data on the optical disc.
