PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a servo controller capable of performing highly accurate servo control. SOLUTION: A subtractor 3 subtracts an observation signal y(t) from a target signal r(t) and outputs a remaining error signal e(t) obtained by (r(t)-y(t)) and supplies it to an auxiliary controller 4. The auxiliary controller 4 obtains an extraction signal consisting of a rotational synchronous signal formed by reducing a non-rotational synchronous component from the remaining error signal by using an adaptive linear spectrum emphasizer or an adaptive linear estimator and supplies the extraction signal to a control object 7 in parallel with a main controller 5.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk unit which does not restrict an amount of eccentricity of an optical disk severely even when the recording density of the optical disk is increased and moreover can perform tracking correctly even when the amount of eccentricity of the optical disk is large and to provided a control method therefor. SOLUTION: In the optical disk unit 1, periodic amount of eccentricity of tracks on a disk 47 is estimated beforehand using an eccentricity sensor 14 and tracking is controlled based on the estimated amount of eccentricity and a tracking error signal from a PD 37. As a result, even when the amount of eccentricity of the disk 47 or of tracks is large, the unit can perform tracking correctly. Thus, even when the recording density of an optical disk is increased, it becomes unnecessary to restrict the amount of eccentricity of the optical disk severely and burdens in manufacturing stages can be also reduced.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure displacement of an optical disk highly accurately with an extremely simple constitution, and to execute recording and reproduction processing, while controlling a focus to the displacement of the optical disk. SOLUTION: Laser light is irradiated from the side toward a circumferential side part of the mounted optical disk 2, and return light from the circumferential side part irradiated with the laser light is received, and the displacement of the optical disk 2 is measured based on the quantity of the received return light. Focus adjustment to an information recording face is executed according to the measured displacement of the optical disk. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drop discharge device which is easy of nozzle replacement and washing without exposing liquid to a high temperature and a high pressure and can be driven at a high frequency by a low voltage. SOLUTION: In the drop discharge device 1, by the change in a magnetic field generated by a fixed primary coil 210, and an induction current is produced in a cylindrical conductive member 230 which is a secondary coil. By the interaction between the induction current and a static magnetic field applied in advance by an annular magnetic circuit 220, the member 230 is moved in the liquid discharge direction. The member 230 is formed as a movement member 140 integrally with the front 122 of a liquid chamber 130. When the member 230 is moved, the front 122 with a discharge opening 123 formed is moved to change the volume of the liquid chamber 130 storing the liquid to be discharged. As a result, the liquid stored in the liquid chamber 130 is pressurized to be discharged from the opening 123. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a signal recording apparatus which quickly tracks an optical means to a near field range without incurring collision of the optical means due to overshoot with a medium, and also to provide a signal reproducing apparatus and method. SOLUTION: A comparator 20 compares a full reflection return luminous quantity 6 with a gap servo threshold value to discriminate whether a SIL stays in a far field range or a near field range and activates a switch 24 depending on the result of comparison, and the switch 24 selects operations of an approach speed generating section 23 and a gap servo target value generating section 25. The gap servo target value generating section 25 outputs a gap servo target value to interpolate a value between a gap servo final target value and the gap servo start threshold value that is set in a way that a point when the SIL moves from the far field range to the near field range is selected to be a start point of a start pulse, and the SIL is subjected to tracking control using the gap servo target value that temporally changes in this way.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine whether a desired layer is subjected to focus servo even when layer identification information is not recorded in each of recording layers. SOLUTION: On the basis of a drive signal component of a focus actuator obtained when focus servo control is on, a transmission function of the focus actuator and a focus error signal obtained when the focus servo control is on, a displacement signal is generated that shows the amount of displacement in the focus direction of a lens (focus lens) to be driven by the focus actuator to vary the focusing position of the light, to extract a low frequency component of the displacement signal. The low-frequency component of the displacement signal is extracted to obtain an offset of the focus lens for layer selection. On the basis of the low frequency component of the displacement signal, whether the desired layer (where data are recorded or reproduced) is subjected to focus servo. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
