    Abstract: In this system the light reflected back over the path (10a) to be measured is fed directly into a semiconductor laser (8a). As is commonly known, the introduction of reflected power through the front, or emitting, facet of the laser actually alters the power present in the laser with an attendant effect on the signal from a photosensor (15) usually located on the rear facet of the laser. The output signal from the photosensor associated with the laser has an asymmetric sawtooth (triangular) waveform. This is in contrast to the output signal from a conventional interferometer which has a sinusoidal waveform. The photosensor output signal is profoundly affected by the return beam. Also unexpectedly, the sawtooth output signal from the photosensor is an essentially linear signal over the range between adjacent fringes. That is, except for the transition at positive and negative peaks. As the path length (10a) of the reflected beam is increased or decreased, the sawtooth output signal changes in a direct linear relationship to the change in path length. This allows precise measurement of changes in distance less than the distance between adjacent fringes.

    Abstract: 57 A linear disk actuator is disclosed incorporating a magnetic circuit for reducing stray magnetic fields in the region of the disks and recording heads of a magnetic recording disk system. The moving part of the actuator is provided with a plurality of coils mounted thereon, at least two of which are energised simultaneously and in magnetically opposing relationship to reduce the amplitude of the stray magnetic fields. Movement of the actuator is achieved by both energised coils interacting with a set of alternating poles positioned on the stationary part of the actuator.

    Abstract: A magnetic read/write head (14) is mounted on a carriage (20) having a bore (36) therein. The carriage (20) is slidable along a stationary guide rod (40) which extends into the bore (36). A lead screw (24) threads into a nut (76) which is keyed to the carriage (20) so that rotation of the lead screw (24) moves the carriage (20) along the guide rod (40). A torsion spring (52) engages the carriage (20) and provides a force to bias the carriage (20) so as to eliminate any undesired clearance between the carriage (20) and the nut (76) and between the carriage (20) and the guide rod (40). The force is applied at an angle relative to the axis of motion (48) of the carriage (20). As the carriage (20) moves, the spring (52) is deflected, causing the angle of the force to change and the amount of the force to change. The spring (52) is oriented so that the total force directed parallel to the axis of the motion (48) of the carriage (20) remains constant. The amount of the total force is predetermined to minimize vibration of the carriage (20) and head (14). The carriage (20) is guided by the guide rod (40), not the lead screw (24), so that misalignment of the lead screw (24) does not affect the positioning of the head (14). A second guide rod (42) extends into a halfbore (38) in the carriage (20) to prevent rotation of the carriage (20) about the lead screw (24).

    Abstract: The winding (34) of a voice coil actuator (11) for a transducer positioning system of a disk data storage file, is wound on a composite layer of viscoelastic material (32) and an aluminium foil (33) wrapped around the core (30) of a bobbin. This construction minimizes vibrations in a direction parallel to the coil axis which tend to occur as a result of rapidly energizing the coil during the seek and track following modes of the transducer positioning system. The aluminium foil (33) functions to increase the shear deformation of the viscoelastic material (32) and its modulus of rigidity.

    Abstract: A positioning mechanism for a floppy disk drive, read/ write head carriage is disclosed. The positioning mechanism converts the rotary motion of a stepper motor into the linear motion of the read/write head carriage by driving a cylindrical capstan and the carriage with a flexible, non-stretchable band. The band is wound around the capstan and fixed thereto with its opposite end extending from the capstan along the line which is tangent to the capstan and parallel to the path of movement of the carriage. The opposite ends of the band are rigidly attached to the carriage. Proper tension is maintained in the band by selcting the dimensions and materials of the positioning mechanism such that the system is thermally compensated.

    Abstract: A data track searching device capable of switching between two modes; one being the rough searching mode in which a transducer is displaced at a high velocity to a desired track and the other being the fine searching mode which follows the rough searching mode and in which the transducer is displaced at a relative low velocity and positioned over the proper or desired track. The operating point of a tracking element is shifted or deviated as a result of the high-velocity displacement of the transducer in the rough searching mode so that stable searching cannot be ensured. According to the present invention, therefore, the acceleration of the transducer in the rough searching mode is detected and a signal representative of the thus detected acceleration is applied to the tracking element so that the shift or deviation of the operating point of the tracking element can substantially made nil.
