PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a speech noise reducing unit capable of reducing a speech noise caused by an unbalanced abnormal vibration generated corresponding to rotation of an optical disk. SOLUTION: This speech noise reducing unit reduces a speech noise caused by a mechanical vibration by the rotation of an optical disk medium 10, because an I-V matrix circuit 18 detects a wavy disorder part of a tracking error signal according to the rotational cycle of the optical disk medium 10, and when the duration of the wavy disorder part is longer than a prescribed time and the cycle period matches with the rotation cycle of the optical disk medium 10, a system control unit 7 judges that a speech noise is generated due to an abnormal vibration by deflection swinging of the optical disk medium 10, and when the duration of the wavy disorder part is larger than that of the maximum defect part smaller than the rotation cycle of the optical disk medium 10, the noise is judged as speech noise generation judged excluding an influence by defects of a recording film, and the system control unit 7 provides the speech signal with decreasing processing by a level amount provided with a positive correlation with the disordered amplitude for the duration.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently read a disk. SOLUTION: When information to be read from the disk are temporarily stored in a cache memory in response to a plurality of times of reading requests to the cache memory, separated situations in the disk among the plurality of pieces of information to be read from the disk in response to the requests are detected. For example, whether a difference between addresses in the disk is not more than a prescribed value or not is detected. When the plurality of pieces of information are physically separated a little, reading is performed from the disk by one continuous reading trace including unnecessary data in the separated part. That is, the plurality of necessary pieces of information are read as an operation by which the reading trace with respect to the track of a disk recording medium is not interrupted by track access.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a cache system adaptable to both PC data and AV data. SOLUTION: A cache memory (temporary storage means) is divided for every N pieces of cells (in a prescribed unit). For the data to be read and written to a disc, the write-in to the cache memory is performed from the position corresponding to the remainder of the division of an address on the disc by a prescribed number N. According to this, a cache memory control ensured in the continuity of continuous data on the cache memory and enhanced in retrieval speed can be realized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

SOLUTION: The recording and reproducing device comprises a movable time estimation part 9 for estimating a stand still period of recording on a recording medium 2 based on the difference between the speed for writing main data in a data buffer 10 and that for reading recorded data from the data buffer 10, a moving amount calculating part 7 and a moving speed calculating part 8 which calculate a control signal value for moving the recording and reproducing head 1 to a recording position away from the present position by a thread driving part 4 during the stand still period, and a system control part 5 for moving the recording and reproducing head 1 to the recording position by the thread driving part 4 over the estimated stand still period based on the control signal value calculated during the stand still time of recording the data on the recording medium 2.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and exactly control laser power by temp. change. SOLUTION: Test data are written in a test area by, for instance, laser power PB as an adjusting value for the previous test, and then the written test data are read out (S001-S004). Now, a regenerative signal position Xc is detected from the test data by a positional shift detecting part (S005), and is supplied as a dislocation signal to a controller. In the controller, a laser power changing quantity ΔP=f(Xc-X'c) is calculated from the regenerative signal position Xc and a stored regenerative signal position X'c (S006), and laser power PN=PB+ΔP obtained in the writing test this time is set as the laser power for performing an actual writing operation.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To save the power consumption of a coil driving circuit by adding two switching means to a constant current source route and performing the control of these switching elements in accordance with the combined patterns of continuous recording column data. CONSTITUTION:Switching means 21 and 22 are connected with auxiliary coils 18 and 19. By the control of a controller 2, the ON/OFF controls of the switching elements 21, 22 are performed in accordance with the combined patterns of continuous recording column data. Thus, energy is stored in the inductance L3 (L2) of the auxiliary coil 19 (18), counter electromotive force is generated when a switching element 15 (14) is turned off and the switching from current I1 (I2) to I2 (I1) can be quickly performed. Therefore, current I'2, I'1 flowing in the coils 18, 19 is minimized, power consumption is reduced and the switching of sufficient exciting current can be performed in modulation pulse data of short width caused by counter electromotive force.
