Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide a method of recording and reproducing for an EXROM type optical disc which achieves hither density in the tangential direction and higher rate of transferring of the disc without interference between codes even when the length of a pit becomes small. CONSTITUTION:In an optical disc device which performs an exclusive ORing of pit data per track to form a pair track, a pit detection position with a laser beam LD is set at an edge of an adjacent pit to perform a quinary detection for increasing the density in the tangential direction. Data of a pair track ROM are recorded at positions shifted by 180 deg. from each other and reproduction signals quinary-coded at the edge parts of pits are detected by a clock doubling that in a normal state. Thus, a sum signal is used to detect pair tracks simultaneously.

PURPOSE:To reduce error occurrence probability by deciding a threshold level so as to always keep the maximum margin in the direction of amplitude even if a phase of a reproducing clock is deviated. CONSTITUTION:Reference data for deciding a threshold level is recorded in a disk 100. A reproducing RF signal from an optical head 2 is clamped for every segments in a clamping circuit 11, and converted to a digital signal in a A/D converter 12, also waveform equalization is performed in a equalizer 13 so as to approach a shape of a cosine filter adapted to PR (1, 1) and it is supplied to a data detecting circuit 14 adopting PR (1, 1). Levels SL and SH required for three values sampling in the detecting circuit 14 is decided in a threshold decision circuit 15. Plural signals which regulate amplitude direction of eye of an eye pattern are obtained from the reproduced RF signal corresponding to the reference data in the decision circuit 15, the level SL and SH are decided so as to locate at the center of eye.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable an accurate reading and to improve the recording density by reproducing an RF signal with the use of a neural network. CONSTITUTION:The reproducing RF signal outputted from a head 34 is separated to an addition signal and a difference signal in a matrix circuit 35. The difference signal is subjected to A/D conversion by an A/D converter 47 and inputted to a read-out circuit 48. The output signal from the read-out circuit 48 is outputted to a host computer through a reading controller 38. In this case, the read-out circuit 48 is constituted of the neural network wherein prescribed coefficients are learned beforehand, and the coefficients capable of accurately reading out even in the case the pit size is varied due to heat accumulation, etc., are stored therein, and even the RF signal deformed to nonlinear type can be read out accurately.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To simplify the circuitry by varying the frequency of clock for recording/reproducing data according to the track position. CONSTITUTION:When data is recorded or reproduced while rotating an optical disc 10 having sample servo format at a constant angular speed, a clock phi1 reproduced based on clock information recorded in a servo area fed from a reproducing circuit 30 is subjected to frequency conversion through a converting circuit 50 thus forming a data recording/reproducing clock phi2. On the other hand, the converting circuit 50 is controlled to vary the frequency of the data recording/reproducing channel clock phi2 according to the track position of a disc recording medium. Furthermore, a system controller 41 interrupts data recording for a predetermined time when the clock phi2 is varied.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain highly precise address detection against cross talks between adjacent recording tracks on a disk shaped recording medium having address information recorded by wobbling at least on a single side wall of the tracks. SOLUTION: For the FM modulated signals obtained by FM modulating the ADIP data after Bi-phase modulating them for example, one track is completed in a data bit unit, and the sync signals are made not to come close each other in the adjacent tracks. According to this arrangement, the number of waves of the wobble signals become the same between the adjacent tracks, and the phases of the wobble signals can be prevented from becoming opposite between the adjacent tracks. Thus, highly precise address detection can be maintained against cross talks. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress enlargement of the circuit scale of a modulator. SOLUTION: When an input data row is supplied to a DSV control bit deciding section 31, a section 31 decides on the DSV control bit to be inserted into the input data row. When the input data row is supplied to the deciding section 31, the data row is simultaneously supplied to a delay section 32 and the section 32 supplies the data row to a decided-DSV control bit inserting section 33, after delaying the data row by a prescribed delay time. The inserting section 33 inserts the DSV control bit decided by means of the deciding section 31 into the input data row supplied from the delaying section 32 at a prescribed position and supplies the data row containing the inserted DSV control bit to a modulating section 34. The section 34 modulates the data row, containing the DSV control bit into a code row in accordance with a prescribed reduction rule (for example, 1, 7 PP modulation). COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a thread action to have high accuracy and to perform high-speed access by setting a thread leading an optical pickup and a thread motor for moving the thread, detecting the movement of the thread, increasing the driving voltage of the thread motor from a state where the thread stops, and decreasing the driving voltage when an output of a sensor changes. SOLUTION: The rotation of a thread motor 21 is transmitted to gears 30. A feed screw 31 is rotated with the number of revolutions converted by the gears 30, thereby, a thread 32, to which a magnetic head 16, an optical pickup 2 and the like are loaded, can be fed. An angle of rotation is detected by a combination of a rotary encoder 33 and an MR sensor 34 magnetized to the read screw 31. The angle of rotation indicates a feed amount of the thread 32 by the feed screw 31, and an accuracy of the angle is changed by the tap amount of the feed screw 31. The relationship of the angle of rotation and a starting voltage is learned beforehand and a zero point of a driving voltage is reset at every predetermined angle, so that linear control is made possible.
