    Abstract: Data in a management region of a tape are reliably restored by a retry processing even when a read error occurs due to scratches on the tape. A physical ID with an initial value of 4000ID from PBOT is set to -1600ID (Fig. 19A) after normal VSIT write, to -1700ID after the first retry (Fig. 19B) and to -1800ID after the second retry (Fig 19C), and it decreases by 100ID after each retry. In contrast, VSIT is always written from 0ID. In this way, in the retry processing of VSIT, the physical ID of the start position does not change, and the actual write position, that is, the distance from PBOT, can be changed. Therefore, even when the error of VSIT write occurs due to scratches of the tape, for example, the VSIT write error can be restored by this retry processing.

    Abstract translation: 即使由于磁带上的划痕而发生读取错误,也可以通过重试处理可靠地恢复磁带的管理区域中的数据。 来自PBOT的初始值为4000ID的物理ID在正常VSIT写入之后被设置为-1600ID(图19A),在第一次重试之后被设置为-1700ID(图19B),并且在第二次重试之后变为-1800ID(图19C) ,每次重试后减少100ID。 相比之下,VSIT始终是从0ID写的。 以这种方式,在VSIT的重试处理中,开始位置的物理ID不改变,实际的写入位置,即与PBOT的距离可以改变。 因此,即使由于磁带的划痕而发生VSIT写入的错误,例如,可以通过该重试处理来恢复VSIT写入错误。

    Abstract: A differentiating qualifier channel in a hard disk drive is disclosed. The analog signal read off a magnetic disk by the transducer is amplified and filtered, then immediately differentiated (201). This differentiated waveform is used both to qualify (202) and to detect (205) the peaks of the analog read signal. Data pulses are qualified (202) by noting that the differentiated waveform always changes polarity (203) after the zero crossing of a valid peak. Positive and negative peak signals are generated whenever the differentiated waveform exceeds (203) positive and negative thresholds. From this, a polarity signal is constructed (204). The pulses, indicating where the polarity signal changes state, are used to enable a latch (208). The latch (208) is clocked by a zero crossing signal (206) which has been delayed (207) such that the zero crossings occur after the change in polarity. The output from this latch (208) gives the valid qualified data pulses.

    Abstract: Clock marks for extracting clock components are made in advance at regular intervals along the track of a discoid recording medium, and clock components are extracted by detecting these clock marks at the time of rotating the discoid recording medium. Since the clock components are extracted from the definitely and periodically arranged clock marks in such a way, and interpolating clocks in sections between clock marks are generated based on the extracted clock components, highly accurate clocks can be obtained as compared with the case where clocks are extracted from reproduced codes. Therefore, the capacity of the discoid recording medium can be remarkably increased.

    Abstract: A filter for compensating discrete secondary pulse formations associated with a data stream of discrete main pulses produced from data read from magnetic media. The filter's impulse response comprises a center coefficient with side compensating coefficients for attenuating the secondary pulses when the input signal is convolved with the impulse response. The magnitude and delay of the compensation coefficients are programmable and are adaptively adjusted to optimize the impulse response for a given environment. In a traditional FIR embodiment, two delay lines are used to generate the two programmable delays between the center coefficient and side compensation coefficients. In the preferred embodiment, an IIR filter (378, 373, 375, 377, 390, 396, 451, 453, 455, 459) provides the two programmable delays using only one delay line (390). Also in the preferred embodiment, the data stream is interleaved into an even and odd data stream and processed in parallel by two filters in order to double the throughput.

    Abstract: A device for recording digital picture signals has a circuit for converting the input digital picture signals into blocks of data comprising a plurality of picture element data, an encoding circuit which encodes the output of the converting circuit in compressed data for every block, and a channel-encoding circuit which channel-encodes the encoded data outputted from the encoding circuit. The data outputted from the channel-encoding circuit is recorded on a magnetic tape by magnetic heads installed on a rotating drum. In the device, the pitch of the tracks formed on the magnetic tape by the magnetic heads is 5.5 mu m or less, the diameter of the rotating drum is 25 mm or less, and the track length per unit time is made to be a predetermined one by setting the rotating speed of the rotating drum at 150 rps or more. Thereby, long recording time is possible by a mechanism part of a small size and further, the error relative to the linearity of the track can be reduced.

    Abstract: A dual channel helical scan recording system (30) includes a rotating drum (36) having sets of heads (W1, W2, R1, R2) mounted on its peripheral surface (56). A set of write heads (W1, W2) is situated on an opposite side of the drum (36) from a set of read heads (R1, R2). The write heads (W1, W2) simultaneously write two adjacent tracks (T1, T2), which are read for verification 180 degrees later by corresponding read heads (R1, R2). The heads (W1, W2, R1, R2) are strategically mounted on the drum (36) with respect to angular and axial placement, and have selected head widths and azimuthal angles. Should a block of data (317) written to tape (32) be determined, during readback, to be a bad block, that bad block is subsequently rewritten on the tape (32) in the course of writing good blocks and amongst other good blocks. The rewritten block is recorded at a row position on the tape which is sufficiently displaced from the row position of a previous writing to avoid media defects occurring on the tape. In addition, a block written by a first write head (W1) and perceived as having been written as a bad block must be written by a second write head (W2) before that block is rewritten a predetermined number of times.
