Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding mode controller for controlling the motion of a magnetoresistive (MR) read head actuated by a voice coil motor over a rotating magnetic disk storage medium. SOLUTION: The magnetic disk 4 includes a plurality of concentric data tracks recorded on the surface, and each data track includes user data and servo data. The sliding mode controller 26 operates by multiplying a head position error phase state and a head position error speed phase state by respective switching gains to force the phase states to follow a predetermined phase state trajectory. The phase state trajectory is defined by a single linear segment , a variable linear segment, multiple linear segments over the entire region of excursion, or optimal parabolic acceleration and deceleration segments.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost, more efficient magnetic disk servo control system that compensates for non-linear gain variations associated with MR read heads. SOLUTION: A position error X149 is multiplied by a positive gain 47 or a negative gain 48 depending on the state of a switch 46 to generate an acceleration command U53 as input to the controlled system 44. The output of an integrator 54 is the velocity of a controlled system which is also the negative -X255 of the position error velocity. When the switch 46 selects the positive gain 47, it is a negative feedback system, and when the switch 46 selects the negative gain 48, it is a positive feedback system. In each of the structures, the system is unstable. However, the system can be made stable by repeatedly switching between the two structures. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk drive servo control system in which sensitivity to a change in parameter is not so high, and transition can be controlled more favorably and the implementing cost of a complex adaptive linear controller is eliminated. SOLUTION: The optical disk storage system is provided with a sliding mode controller for actuating an optical lead head assembly on an optical disk during focus capturing, focus tracking, track seeking and centerline tracking. The sliding mode controller operates by switching feedback between a positive state and a negative state so as to follow a predetermined phase state track by allocating a certain phase state (e.g., position error or speed of the lead head).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk drive servo control system having not so high sensitivity to a parameter change, capable of controlling transition better and reducing the performance cost of a complex adaptive linear controller. SOLUTION: The optical disk memory system is provided with a sliding mode controller 23 actuating an optical read head assembly on an optical disk during focus capture, focus tracking, track seek and center line tracking. This sliding mode controller operates while switching positive and negative feedback to follow a prescribed phase state locus by fitting a prescribed phase state (e.g. position error and speed of a read head).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice coil motor control circuit and a method. SOLUTION: The voice coil motor (VCM) control circuit (10) controls a motor operation to position a disk drive head and actuator arm assembly (202). A data processor (220) is continuously updated with the current position and relative radial velocity of the disk drive head (206) and actuator arm assembly (208). The data processor (220) provides signals to a digital-analog converter (DAC) of the VCM control circuit (10) representative of the amount of energy necessary to move the head and actuator arm assembly to a parking position from a current operating position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding mode controller for controlling the motion of a magneto-resistive (MR) read head. SOLUTION: A magnetic disk comprises a plurality of concentric data tracks recorded thereon wherein each data track comprises user data and servo data. The sliding mode controller operates by multiplying a head position error phase state and a head position error velocity phase state by respective switching gains to force the phase states to follow a predetermined phase state trajectory. The phase state trajectory can be defined by a single linear segment, a variable linear segment, multiple linear segments over the entire region of excursion, or optimum parabolic acceleration and deceleration segments. Switching logic, responsive to the phase states and a trajectory segment value σ, switches between positive and negative feedback gains to drive the phase states toward a current trajectory segment.

Further, it does not require notch filters commonly used in conventional linear controllers to compensate for mechanical resonances.
