    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide s signal input device and its method which is capable of dealing with data inputted from an input means such as a keyboard and another input means as data of the same format and does not use an access method for data operated on a personal computer. CONSTITUTION: CPU 12 consists of an interruption controller 14 controlling an interruption processing, a keyboard controller 16 and a bar code reader 28. The bar code reader 28 is connected with the personal computer 10 by a connector 26. The keyboard controller 16 and the interruption controller 14 are connected with each other through a bus 30. A keyboard 32 is connected with the keyboard controller 16. The keyboard controller 16 consists of an input buffer 18, a control part 20, an output buffer 22 and a latch 24.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a floating amount measuring apparatus for head which exhibits high sensitivity through simple structure. CONSTITUTION:Light projected from a white light source 25 is introduced into a gap between a disc 23 and a head 21 where multiple reflection takes place. Light reflected on an opaque body, out of the disc 23 and the head 21, is polarized into at least three wavelength regions and introduced to different optical detecting means 35, 36, 37. An estimating unit 38 estimates floating amount of head from an output of the optical detecting means according to the method of least squares based on a function between disc head gap lengths predetermined for respective wavelength regions and the intensity of reflected light detected through the optical detecting means. Calculation is carried out in real time according to table lookup system or follow-up control system.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To promptly and accurately measure a floating height of a head by optimizing necessary coefficients of a theoretical formula based on a nonlinear regression algorithm when an interference optical intensity corresponding to the floating height of the head is measured by using a white lamp and a color CCD camera. CONSTITUTION: By using a white lamp, a color CCD camera calculates R, G, and B output vectors (y) corresponding to a floating height of a magnetic head by using mathematical models such as a polynomial coefficient vector (b) showing a slider profile, a floating height vector H, a function f (p, x), etc., and outputs them. In this case, a signal processing part operates similar arithmetic operations based on assumed refraction indices of each color and pseudo-vectors (b) according to the extinction coefficients, and a vector (p) of the function (f) is not adopted as a fixed value but is optimized by a processing of a method of least square according to a nonlinear regression algorithm so that a difference vector e between each output vector as the result of the arithmetic operation and the vector (y) becomes a minimum, and thus, it becomes possible to measure the floating height of the floating head quickly and precisely.
