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

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.

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).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved seek detector for an optical disk storage device, capable of generating a quadrature signal from a discrete-time TES signal and a discrete-time RF baseband signal. SOLUTION: In the optical disk storage device wherein user data is demodulated from a light beam reflecting off data pits in tracks of an optical disk storage medium, a quadrature seek signal is generated indicative of the light beam crossing tracks of the optical disk during a seek operation. The quadrature seek signal is generated from a discrete-time tracking error signal (TES) and a discrete-time RF baseband signal. The discrete-time TES is generated according to the mode of operation, compact disk (CD) or digital video disk (DVD). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

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).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding mode controller for controlling a read/write head actuator in a magnetic disk drive storage system. SOLUTION: In the sliding mode controller, a voice coil motor connected to the actuator operates to adjust the position of the read/write head over a selected data track recorded on a magnetic medium. The sliding mode controller comprises an improved method for reducing chattering associated with the inherent operation of such a controller, for example, rapid switching between gains to force the observable phase states to follow a predetermined phase state trajectory. The sliding mode controller generates a motor control command by multiplying an actuator position error and an actuator position error velocity by respective switching gains. The gains are switched according to a predetermined relationship σ between the phase states and a phase state trajectory. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate orthogonal signals from a discontinuous timewise TES signal and a discontinuous timewise RF baseband signal by detecting pulses being in the discontinuous timewise TES signal expressing the position of a light beam with respect to the center line of a track and the discontinuous timewise RF baseband signal and counting the number of tracks in which the light beam traverses in its seeking operation. SOLUTION: A discontinuous timewise TES signal 114 is selected by a MUX 100. On the other hand, a discontinuous timewise RF baseband signal 112 is extracted by an envelope detector 110. The discontinuous timewise TES signal 114 and the RF baseband signal 112 are synchronized by a synchronizer 118 according to a current seek speed and an operation mode and they pass through LPFs 116A, 116B and a track traversing frequency is extracted. Then, these signals are respectively converted into binary square-wave signals TEX 128 and REX 130 by a TEX detector 132 and a REX detector 134 to form orthogonal seek signals.
