Abstract:
In a record player for playing back a record disc (10) carrying recorded video information, a main body (4) of the player is provided with a turntable (40) having a smaller diameter than that of the recorded surface of the record disc (10). The turntable (40) presses the central portion of the embraced record disc (10). A pick-up member (66) gains access to the recorded surface of the record disc (10) from the bottom side thereof, said recorded surface projecting outwardly from the surface of the turntable (40).
Abstract:
In a control method of a terminal device which includes an OS, a first application, and a second application installed in the OS as a default function which is included in the OS, a first instruction is transmitted by the first application to a connected device. The first instruction is related to an operation of the second application. A second instruction transmitted by the connected device on the basis of a content of the first instruction is received by the terminal device. The second application operates on the basis of the second instruction.
Abstract:
A device for controlled operation of a multimedia system by a medical tool is disclosed. The device includes an actuator communicating with the medical tool and adapted to activate the multimedia system upon detection of a first operation mode of the medical tool and deactivate the multimedia system upon detection of a second operation mode.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system and method of operating a data recording device (DRD) comprising a reading/writing head (OH) for reading/writing data on a data record carrier (OM), and a turntable motor (TM) for rotating said data record carrier (OM), said method comprising a step of generating a control signal (STM) for varying the rotating frequency (f) of said turntable motor (TM) according to a frequency profile defining the rotating frequency as a function of a position (R) of the reading/writing head (OH) on the data record carrier (OM), said frequency profile comprising a first portion (CLV) during which the rotating frequency is decreased from a starting frequency to an intermediate frequency, said first portion (CLV) being followed by a second portion (VLV) during which the rotating frequency is increased from said intermediate frequency to a final frequency.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical recording apparatus capable of writing information on an optical medium in a writing mode and capable of writing a label image on an optical medium in a label mode. The apparatus has a displaceable optical head with a radiation source capable of emitting radiation. The apparatus further contains one or more processing means adapted to: analyze radiation reflected from the medium, control the radial position of the optical head, control the focal point of the radiation relative to the optical medium, and control the radiation source. In label mode, the optical recording apparatus is adapted to turn off at least one of the processing means for a pre-defined period of time in order to reduce the power consumption and in turn the temperature of the apparatus.
