摘要:
There are provided a storage apparatus and a computer-readable recording medium, on whose storage areas, servo frames are arranged at uniform intervals in a spoke-like pattern. Each of the servo frames has an index bit storing section storing, as an index bit, part of an index pattern, which is operable to identify a storage area. The apparatus and the recording medium have a storage area recognizing unit for recognizing the storage areas based on the index bits, which are obtained by an index bit obtaining unit. The index bits, stored one in each of the index bit storing sections of the servo frames, are adapted to form, when being sequentially arranged, an index bit string in which such an index pattern repeatedly appears.

A recording apparatus capable of securely reading out data for causing a head to follow along circular tracks set virtually. Therefore, on-track control along the virtual tracks is possible by the conversion data on the discoid record medium even when, for example, the printed circuit board in a recording apparatus has been replaced.

A resonance-frequency measuring method is used for measuring a resonance frequency of an information recording/reproducing device reproducing information recorded on a medium by driving a mechanism unit. The resonance-frequency measuring method comprises the measuring step of applying sine-wave oscillations at different frequencies one by one to the mechanism unit, and counting the number of times information reproduced upon application of each of the sine-wave oscillations differs from information indicating an aimed location, and the resonance-frequency determining step of determining the resonance frequency according to the number of times counted in the measuring step.

A first and second phase patterns of which phases are the same and a third and fourth phase patterns of which phases are opposite of the first and second phase patterns and of which phases are different from each other, are formed on a recording medium. A position information in a first track range is demodulated based on a first phase difference of the regeneration signals of the first and second phase pattern and of the third phase pattern, position information in a second track range is demodulated based on a second phase difference of the regeneration signals in the third phase pattern and the fourth phase pattern, and position information in a third track range is demodulated based on the first phase difference according to an angle difference between the first phase difference and a phase of the regeneration signal in the third phase pattern.

A servo control method and an information storage device are provided. In the method and device, positional information is detected in accordance with servo information including a plurality of positional regions having phase differences between tracks. The positional regions consist of a first positional region in which the phase difference between tracks is +90°, a second positional region in which the phase difference between tracks is −90°, a third positional region in which the phase difference between tracks is +90°, and a fourth positional region in which the phase difference between tracks is −135°. A deviation from a reference track is detected from the phase difference between the vector of a reproduction signal of the second positional region and the vector of a reproduction signal of the fourth positional region. Thus, a wide range of deviation can be detected.

A servo-frame recording apparatus includes: a sector information rearranging section for rearranging serial bits of the sector information that is binary data; a first ExOR section for performing the ExOR (exclusive OR) on the sector information, the serial bits of which have been rearranged by said sector information rearranging section, and the track information, so that an exclusive logical sum is obtained; and a writing section for wiring the exclusive logical sum obtained by said ExOR section into the servo frame. With this configuration, a data length required for recording gray information and sector information can be shortened without lowering the reliability of a magnetic disk.

摘要:
A method for controlling a disk apparatus in which a head scans tracks on a disk to record or retrieve information. The method includes a position error detection procedure which detects a position error between said head and said track, a phase control procedure which advances a phase of said position error detected by said position error detection procedure by a predetermined value and a head control procedure which controls a position of said head according to the position error which is advanced in phase by said phase control procedure.
