Abstract: A track-seeking apparatus of a disk recorder employs a track-crossing sensor to produce track-crossing signals. An oscillator is slaved to the sensor for supplying substitute track-crossing pulses in the absence of the sensor providing such pulses or when the radial velocity exceeds a threshold velocity. A velocity profile means alters the oscillator frequency so that the oscillator produces track-crossing pulses in accordance with the profile. TU988001

Abstract: ?U9-88-008 A track-seeking system for an optical disk using a velocity control loop with partially-digitized velocity measurement. A quadrature signal is generated based on summing the halves of a position error signal to give directionality to track-crossing counts. A so-called piggy-back construction, wherein a fine positioner is carried by a coarse positioner, is employed. Feed-forward controls are provided from the fine to the coarse positioner. At track-capture time, the dynamic range of the fine positioner is momentarily increased.
