摘要:
Increased memory capacity for a magnetic disk device is realized without degrading information error rate, by making the number of sectors at a given circumference of the disk variable in accordance with a radial direction of a disk. The number of sectors is made variable by deciding a predetermined information error rate from a ratio of reproduced signal output to noises of head, disk and amplifier at a maximum recording and reproducing frequency at a certain radial position along a disk.

A magnetic disk apparatus includes a dual head equipped with an MR head for reading data and an inductive head for writing the data. One ID portion and one servo pattern are disposed in one sector and an unequal track pitch is formed. The ID portion is formed at the center of a radius of two positions to which the MR head is positioned at the time of reading the data and writing the data, respectively.

A magneto-optical data recording system comprises magnetic field pulse applying means for applying to a magneto-optic recording medium a magnetic field pulse of a polarity corresponding to code data to be recorded, and means for heating the recording medium in a pulsating manner at a predetermined frequency synchronous with the code data to be recorded. During recording, the magnetic field pulse applying means applies a magnetic field pulse of a polarity corresponding to code data along a track of the recording medium and the heating means continuously heats the recording medium in a pulsating manner at a predetermined frequency synchronous with the code data to thereby directly overwrite the code data. The magnetic field pulse applying means includes a magnetic coil driven by code data from a source of code data (data generator). The heating means includes an optical head which comprises a source of laser beam driven by a laser driver and an optical system which focuses the laser beam from the source of laser beam as a small light spot onto the recording medium.

In a method of recording/reproducing information associated with an apparatus and recording medium, the medium has an alternate formation including tracks of first regions wherein at least an optical record of preformatted pits at a constant time interval is recorded and second regions in which information is recorded so that optical retrieval can be achieved. A clock signal is generated based on the readout signal of the preformatted pits to record an information signal in the second regions, and the clock signal is retarded and used to read out data pits that are the record of the information in the second regions.

In a light spot position control system and method in which a control of the irradiation position of a light spot such as a focusing control, a jitter correction and/or a tracking control is made through a sampling control, a newly sampled error value is compared with a one-preceding sampled value. When a difference between both the values is within a range of a predetermined width, the newly sampled value is used as a new sample value as it is. When the difference exceeds the range of the predetermined width, a sum of the one-preceding sampled value and the predetermined width is used as a new sample value. Thereby, the influence of erroneous samples is reduced.

In a magnetic recording drive having a plurality of magnetic heads each employing a magnetoresistive sensor for the purpose of averaging the time required for sense currents to be caused to flow through the respective magnetoresistive sensors to shorten the longest reproducing time and to suppress the degradation of the characteristics due to the electromigration, thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic recording drive, the magnetic recording drive includes circuits for averaging the useful life depending on the currents caused to flow through the respective magnetoresistive sensors among the plurality of magnetic heads, whereby the time required for the sense current to be caused to flow through one MR reproducing head is greatly shortened. Therefore, the levels of outputs of the MR reproducing heads can be increased without reduction of the reliability and thus the reliability of the magnetic recording drive can be improved.
摘要:
A recording medium is provided with a recording film having opto-magnetic characteristics formed on the substrate, with first information being recorded in advance in the form of pit strings of a phase structure. Second information is recorded over the first information through the application of a magnetic field with polarities corresponding to the second information in the presence of the irradiation of a high-power radiation beam, without damaging the record of the first information. The first and second information are produced independently and simultaneously with a single spot in the same area by use of different signal reproduction mechanisms for the first information and second information. The first information (ROM information) is reproduced as the variation in the amount (intensity) of the reflected light from the opto-magnetic recording film, and the second information (RAM information) is reproduced by detecting the rotational angle of the reflected light, based on the Kerr effect, from the opto-magnetic film concurrently with the reproduction of the first information using a single spot.
摘要:
A composite wobbled tracking servo system uses a rotary optical disc which has a header field and a data field alternately arranged along the direction of rotation to provide a sector, and which includes pregrooves formed in at least the data field and at least one pair of wobbled track marks disposed in the header field in a relation wobbled relative to the center of a track. A light spot is directed toward and onto the optical disc to detect a push-pull tracking error signal from the reflection of the light spot diffracted by the pregroove, and a wobbled tracking error signal is detected from the reflection of the light spot traversing the wobbled track marks. The push-pull tracking error signal is corrected on the basis of the wobbled tracking error signal to attain the tracking control with higher accuracy, thereby eliminating an undesirable track offset attributable to tilting or eccentricity of the optical disc.
