Abstract: The present invention relates to a data storage device comprising a circular disc (30), a data storage medium on at least one surface of the disc, a spiral track extending within the storage medium about the axis of the disc, and a plurality of data storage sectors formed on the track. According to the invention the storage device is characterised in that the storage medium is formed with a reference mark (100) extending radially from the axis of the disc, and the data storage sectors are arranged in groups extending along the spiral track, one end of each group of sectors being located adjacent to one of the points of intersection of the reference mark with the spiral track.

Abstract: When optical disk recorder having readback circuits is used with pulse width modulated (PWM) signals a phase error of a clocking system with respect to the phase of a data signal is used to generate an amplitude detection threshold offset for servoing of the amplitude detection threshold by the phase error signals tending to increase the probability of faithful detection of data carried by the PWM or other signals.

Abstract: A record carrier having essentially circular tracks concentrically located around a point of rotation. The record carrier is divided into circular zones each having m tracks, where m is an integer. Each track within a zone is subdivided into n sectors, where n is an integer which is constant per zone and which increases as the zone is more remote from the point of rotation. Each sector including a header portion and a data portion. The header portions in the radial direction in each zone are in line. In each zone the condition of m*n=j*k is satisfied, where is j an integer greater than or equal to 2 and is constant for each zone, and k is an integer.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating a code alphabet for use by a deployed program to determine codewords for words. A first code alphabet is generated having a first number of symbols that provide variable length codings of the words. The symbols in the first code alphabet are merged into a second number of groups of the symbols in the first code alphabet, where the second number is less than the first number. A second code alphabet is generated having the second number of symbols, wherein a second average codeword length of the codewords produced using the symbols in the second code alphabet is smaller than the codeword length (b) of the words, and wherein the second code alphabet comprises the code alphabet used by the deployed program.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a detector for adaptively detecting servo gaps in a timing based servo pattern (50) prerecorded on a variable velocity media. The timing based servo pattern has groups of repeated pairs of non-parallel transition stripes arranged in bursts (52,54,55), the bursts separated by servo gaps whose (70-75) length is variable. A servo system sensor (26) senses the transition stripes in the longitudinal direction of the media. A group interval detector coupled to the sensor detects the timing interval between the same slope transition stripes of two sequential groups of bursts (BX,BY). A divider (170) divides the detected group timing interval by a predetermined divisor to provide a divided timing interval gap detection threshold (181). A sequential stripe interval detector coupled to the sensor measures the timing interval between stripes, and a comparator (110) compares the divided timing interval and the timing interval, identifying a servo gap upon the measured timing interval at least equaling the gap threshold. The detector responds to "valid" signals (BXOK,BYOK) which indicate the validity of the detected group timing interval, repeating operation of the divider to update the gap threshold, and repeating operation of the comparator with the updated gap threshold to continue to identify the servo gaps.

Abstract: An calibration apparatus operates in multiple calibration modes of a multi-mode information storage system such as an optical disk drive to calibrate the drive in the multiple write modes. An event processing and measurement circuit is configurable in multiple configurations that each correspond to a different calibration measurement. Each configuration concurrently measures one or more parameters of readback data written to an optical disk by the optical disk drive operating in a particular write mode. A qualification circuit selects valid measurements for two different parameters or for two different qualification of the same parameter. A summation circuit sums valid measurements of each parameter measured and counts the number of measurements summed for each parameter. The calibration apparatus calculates average values for the measured parameters from the sums and counts, and then calibrates the multi-mode optical disk drive for its current write mode based on the average values.

Abstract: A system and method for precisely registering and synchronizing data sets on a recording media having a prerecorded servo pattern. The recording media is subject to continuing movement for reading and/or writing the data sets, interrupted by stopping at the end of a selected data set and restarting. During the continuing movement of the recording media, a detector coupled to the servo system continuously reads linear position registration data modulated into the prerecorded servo pattern. An interpolator interpolates the prerecorded registration data to provide precision registration information for the data sets. Upon the drive stopping the recording media, then back hitching the media and the movement restarting, selected read and interpolated registration information is provided. The detector again reads and interpolates the prerecorded registration data, and a comparator compares the again read and interpolated registration information to the provided read and interpolated registration information and any predetermined offset, and indicates a comparison match. A data formatter coupled to the comparator, responsive to the comparison match indication, synchronizes the reading and/or writing of data sets on the recording media.

Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and program for providing synchronization in a binary data stream. A binary data stream is received. A synchronization mark having at least one isolated peak is generated into at least one point in the data stream. An encoded data stream is formed by concatenating the synchronization mark with the received binary data. During decoding, the synchronization mark is detected based on error propagation occurring adjacent to the at least one isolated peak of the synchronization mark.
