    Abstract: An optical pickup device for condensing the light from a light source on a signal recording surface of an optical recording medium, such as an optical disc (20). A semi-spherical lens (9) of the optical pickup device has a surface (9b) facing an optical disc (20) and has a pre-set refractive index. The optical pickup device also has a slider (12) adapted for securing the lens (9) and for being in sliding contact with an optical disc (20), and a spring plate (13) adapted for thrusting and supporting the slider in sliding contact with the optical disc (20). With the optical pickup device, high density reproduction may be realized, while the tolerance value for warping during disc molding or the tolerance value for warping due to moisture absorption may be increased. In addition, the production yield and the degree of freedom in selecting the disc materials may be improved.

    Abstract: Apparatus for rapidly transferring data between a central processing unit (CPU) of microcomputer apparatus and floppy disc drives, includes a floppy disc controller for interfacing the floppy disc drives with the CPU and generating an interrupt request status signal indicating whether a command has been executed and a data request status signal indicating whether data is to transferred between the floppy disc controller and the CPU, the CPU generating command signals in response to these status signals; a data bus connecting the CPU to data access lines of the floppy disc controller; a bidirectional buffer interposed between the data bus and the data access lines for gating the data between the floppy disc controller and the CPU through the data bus and for gating the interrupt request status signal and data request status signal through the data bus to the CPU in response to gating signals; first and second gate circuits for gating the status signals to the buffer in response to the gating signals; a NOR gate for supplying gating signals to enable the buffer in response to the command signals; and an OR gate for supplying gating signals to enable the first and second gate circuits in response to the command signals, whereby rapid data transfer is achieved without using a direct memory access controller.

    Abstract: SO1067 APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING SIGNALS IN PLURAL FREQUENCY BANDS Radio receiving apparatus for receiving signals in plural frequency bands. Plural signal processing channels are provided, each channel being associated with a respective frequency band and each being tunable to different frequencies within its associated band to derive information signals when tuned to broadcast frequencies. Depending upon which of the signal processing channels is tuned to a broadcast frequency, a controllable switch connects that channel to an output circuit so as to supply the derived information signals thereto. A pulse generator generates intermittent pulse signals when the tuning condition of at least one of the signal processing channels is changed. These pulse signals are used to sample the tuning condition of that signal processing channel to determine of that channel is tuned to a broadcast frequency. A switch control circuit controls the switch to connect to the output circuit the particular signal processing channel which is tuned to a broadcast frequency. -i-

    Abstract: A presettable tuning apparatus includes a digital tuner; a source of digital signals representing radio frequencies to which the tuning apparatus is respectively tuned; an addressable memory having a plurality of sequentially addressable storage locations therein for storing selected ones of the digital signals; write-in circuitry for selectively writing the digital signals from the source into selected ones of the storage locations in the memory; a comparator circuit for comparing the digital signals stored in an adjacent pair of the sequentially addressable storage locations and providing a control signal indicating the relative values of the frequencies represented by such digital signals; and circuitry for replacing the digital signals stored in the pair of storage locations with one another when the control signal indicates that the frequency represented by the digital signal stored in the lower-address one of the pair of storage locations is higher than that represented by the signal stored in the higher-address one of the pair. The apparatus thereby automatically rearranges the particular storage locations in which the digital signals are stored so that the order of the frequencies represented thereby corresponds to the sequential order of the storage locations, notwithstanding that the digital signals can be written at random into the addressable memory.

    Abstract: An optical pickup incorporates a two-lens system with first and second lenses (13) and (14) being arranged in the following manner: the first lens has a first surface (15) to receive a laser beam radiated from a semiconductor laser and a second surface (16) to direct the laser beam transmitted from the first surface (15) towards the second lens (14); the second lens (14) has a third surface (17) to receive the light flux transmitted from the second surface (16) and a fourth surface (18) to direct the light flux transmitted from the third surface (17) towards an optical disc placed opposite thereto; and the first and fourth surfaces (15, 18) are used as a reference during positioning. The aberrations of the optical pickup are limited within a tolerable limit without incorporating a special device for that purpose even if errors arise in thickness of component lenses of a two-lens system constituting an element of the pickup.
