摘要:
Channel data obtained from a reproduced signal is input to a demodulation ROM as an address and demodulated. In the demodulated channel data, the data whose data pattern is not consistent with a 2-7 modulation method is recognized as an error data. When a resync code, given in the channel data at every 15 bytes is not detected within a predetermined time period, a resync code undetected signal is generated. The demodulated data is arranged in a matrix, and the position of the error data in the matrix and the resync code undetected generation position are specified. An error correction circuit carries out the error correction (erasure correction) by using these positions and an error correction code relating to one direction of a row or a column of the matrix.

An information processing system has a scanning apparatus which includes a brake mechanism for braking a turntable, on which an optical disk is mounted when the motor for rotating the turntable is stopped. A lock mechanism for preventing the optical head from moving is also activated. The lock mechanism operates in interlock with the brake mechanism when the brake mechanism is activated. The brake and lock mechanism are driven by a common drive source.

In a device for recording or reproducing information by using a light beam, there is provided an optical disk comprising a base plate, a recording layer formed on the base plate, tracks provided for recording information on the recording layer, and a focus check area for checking if the light beam is focused at the optimum position on the recording layer when an optical head which generates the light beam faces the recording layer. Accordingly, it is possible to change the focus position for the recording layer of the optical disk by the objective lens of the optical head during recording and reproducing information. Also, it is possible to set it at a position where the bit error rate is smallest and has a wider margin for the shaft of the adjust position.

A data recording apparatus has an optical scanner for optically scanning a document and for outputting an image signal corresponding to the document pattern, a modified Huffman coding circuit for compressing the image information output by the optical scanner for each scanning line, and a page buffer memory for storing the image signal compressed by the modified Huffman coding circuit as line image information items. The line image information items are read out from the page buffer memory in units of a fixed number of bits, and are divided into image data pieces of a fixed bit length. Dummy data is added to the terminal end image data which does not have the fixed bit length, thus forming a terminal end image data of the fixed bit length. Error correction data is set for each image data piece.

The recording scheme of an optical disk is initially determined by a cartridge identifier housing the optical disk. The optical disk is then rotated at a rotational speed corresponding to the initially determined recording scheme, and a signal processing circuit is switched. Management data recorded on the optical disk is read to also determine the recording scheme, thereby improving the reliability of the determination. When no management data can be read, a recording scheme and associated rotational speed are changed. The management data representing the recording scheme is then read according to the changed recording scheme. A medium type determined based on the management data has priority over that of the medium type obtained by the identifier of the cartridge.
摘要:
An apparatus, having a spindle motor for rotating a circular optical disk, for recording information on the optical disk rotated by the spindle motor, and reproducing information recorded on the optical disk, wherein whether the recording scheme of the optical disk is a mark interval or mark length recording scheme is discriminated, and information is recorded or recorded information is reproduced while the optical disk is rotated at a rotational speed corresponding to the discriminated recording scheme. In an apparatus for recording/reproducing information in accordance with both the mark interval and mark length recording schemes, a signal amplifier, a demodulation circuit, a modulation circuit, an error correction circuit, a buffer memory, an interface circuit, and the like can be commonly used between the two recording schemes, thereby decreasing the number of signal processing circuits.

A magneto-optical data reading member includes a transparent disk substrate, and land-shaped areas formed on the disk substrate in a spiral manner so as to be parallel with each other, and groove-shaped areas formed to be stepped with respect to the land-shaped areas, wherein each of the land-shaped and groove-shaped areas has, in a surface region thereof, a first magnetic film for reading data having a predetermined Curie temperature and a predetermined magnetic coercive force, and a second magnetic film for reading data, formed on the first magnetic film, having a Curie temperature higher than the predetermined Curie temperature and a magnetic coercive force higher than the predetermined magnetic coercive force, and having a plurality of memory pits in series according to the information data to be recorded.
摘要:
A recording and reproducing system which uses a recording medium having a plurality of information recording tracks for recording image information. And at least one index recording track is located on the recording medium for recording index information. The index recording track is located substantially at the center of the recording medium and extends length wise of the recording medium in the direction of movement of this recording medium. Accordingly, the recording medium of the present invention eliminates the adverse effect of the drop-out and reduces the period of time required to search for the index information and reproduce image information.
