    Abstract: A data signal read from magnetic tape is converted from an analog signal into a digital signal by hard limiting. This hardlimited data signal is combined with an indication as to whether the amplitude of the digital signal is above a predetermined threshold and then passed to the control unit operating with the tape drive. The control unit, in turn, detects the data, checks for parity error, phase error, and amplitude error and provides control signals back to the tape drive. These control signals are used to change the predetermined threshold used by the tape drive. The predetermined threshold is changed by these control signals in accordance with detection of a history of good data and in accordance with errors in the record block.

    Abstract: A record member is provided with a plurality of sector areas, including servo track follow integration areas. The integration areas comprise an equal number of signal bursts representing binary "1" and binary "0" in a predetermined arrangement to identify a plurality of record track location lines. The predetermined arrangement of "1's" and "0's" is generated by the insertion of one of two binary codes which exhibit high self-correlation properties, at positions within the integration areas corresponding to a consecutive number of signal bursts equal to a digit in the address identifying a particular one of the track location lines. The two binary codes are complements, are composed of an odd number of signal bursts and are selected so as to maintain equal the number of signal bursts representing binary "1" and binary "0", respectively, in the servo track follow integration areas. A transducer positioning circuit is provided which has a search mode for detecting addresses of the record track location lines and a servo mode for centering the transducer with respect to a selected one of the record track location lines.

    Abstract: A data signal read from magnetic tape is converted from an analog signal into a digital, or quasidigital, signal by hard limiting. This digital signal is combined with an indication as to whether the amplitude of the digital signal is above a predetermined threshold and then passed to a control unit operating with the tape drive. The control unit generates control signals used to change the predetermined threshold used by the tape drive. A change in threshold is made in accordance with detection of a record block and in accordance with error in the record block.

    Abstract: A focus and tracking lens support (46) includes a pair of bender beams (101, 102) cantilevered from a mounting block (100). A lens holder (13) is supported between the distal ends of the bender beams by two pairs of parallel support arms (105, 106) pivotally joined to the lens holder (13) and the bender beams (101, 102). The arrangement is such that when the bender beams (101, 102) are moved in the same direction tracking functions are performed while when the bender beams are moved in opposing directions, focussing functions are performed. The support arms (105, 106) and the lens holder (13) can be formed from a unitary plastics member. The bender beams can be piezo-electric beams, to which superposed electrical signals for focus and tracking controls are applied for effecting simultaneous focus and tracking functions.
