Abstract: The system invokes a learning subroutine (600) under which a set of error location vectors are established, one for each possible location of the defective servo sample. With each error location vector, if the performance improves when it is applied then the estimation is taken to be correct, and the location of the defective sample is saved. If the performance is worse upon application of the error location vector, then the estimation is taken to be incorrect, and a different error location vector is used. During further read and write operations with the disk, the system may ignore the position error signal at the bad servo sample locations, or may adjust for bad servo samples by using a compensating position error signal vector.

Abstract translation: 该系统调用一个学习子程序（600），在该学习子程序（600）下建立一组错误位置向量，一个用于缺陷伺服样本的每个可能的位置。 对于每个错误位置向量，如果在应用时性能提高，则估计被认为是正确的，并且保存有缺陷样本的位置。 如果在应用错误位置向量时性能更差，则估计被认为是不正确的，并且使用不同的错误位置向量。 在使用磁盘的进一步的读写操作期间，系统可以忽略不良伺服采样位置处的位置误差信号，或者可以通过使用补偿位置误差信号向量来调整坏的伺服采样。

Abstract: A spindle motor control circuit (20) for controlling the acceleration and position locking of a spindle motor (22) includes a first mode of operation whereby the spindle motor (22) is commutated through use of an external clock (32, 34). The control circuit (20) then causes the spindle motor (22) to be self-commutation based on the clock developed from transitions detected by a transition detector (71), which transitions are signals provided from the phase windings of the spindle motor (22). A final mode includes the reading of servo information from the servo sectors on the disc (24) in order to control the final acceleration and position of the spindle motor (22).

Abstract: A removable cartridge (200) having a housing (202, 204) and a recess formed therein in which is located a tang (208) of a cartridge mounting mechanism. The cartridge mounting mechanism provides for positioning of a disk assembly (220, 226) located within the removable cartridge (200) over a spindle motor (54) for mounting thereto. By recessing the tang (208) of the mounting mechanism, the overall height of the cartridge (200) is reduced. The removable cartridge (200) also includes a specially configured slot (256) for enhanced positioning of the removable cartridge relative to a disk drive.

Abstract: A disk drive (30) conforms to the 1.8 inch form factor through use of, for example, a removable cartridge (200) which has a disk (220) mounted on the hub (226) which hub (226) is manipulatable by a multifunction handle (58) of the disk drive (30), allowing the hub (226) to be seated on the spindle motor nose (56) of the disk drive (30). The multifunction handle (58) of the drive (30) provides for a compact, high capacity design by performing cartridge hub seating operations, cartridge ejection operations, head arm assembly unlocking operations, and handle locking and unlocking operations to ensure proper operation of the disk drive (30). The disk drive (30) includes an inventive ramp (66) design which allows the head arm assembly (64) to be initially received within the cartridge (200) as the cartridge (200) is inserted into its final registration position in the disk drive receiving mechanism (53) and to be more tangent with respect to the disk (220).

Abstract: A disc drive (420) includes a spindle motor (432) having a stator assembly (436) which is provided in a radial gap configuration. A removable cartridge (422) includes a rotor assembly (472) mounted on a bearing arrangement (468) which additionally mounts the disc (430) contained in the cartridge (422). When the cartridge (422) is placed in the drive (420), the rotor assembly (472) of the cartridge (422) comes into alignment with the stator assembly (436) of the drive (420) so that the spindle motor (432) can cause the disc (430) contained in the cartridge (422) to rotate at the proper speed.

Abstract: A disc drive (22) having a head (26) actuated by an actuator (32) for seeking out a destination track (30) includes servo velocity control circuitry (31) and servo position control circuitry (41). The servo velocity control circuitry (31) seeks out the destination track and places the head within the boundaries of that track while the servo position control circuitry (41) using servo information places the head on the centerline of the destination track. The fine servo control circuitry (20) is provided for communicating the information generated by the servo position control circuitry (41) to the servo velocity circuitry (31) when the head (26) is several tracks from the destination track in order to allow the actuator (32) to smoothly and quickly cause the head to seek within the boundaries of the destination track without overshooting that track.
