Abstract:
The information storage disc has ID storage areas (41H) formed in predetermined locations in the radial direction of the disc, the ID storage areas storing either sector or track numbers (resp. 40,41) previously and magnetically. In this setup, if the read head (30) is dislodged from the center line of a given track (10), the read head still reads the sector number correctly. The information recording and reproducing apparatus has the read head (30) and the write head (31) arranged so that they are positioned on a given intermediate track in a substantially aligned manner. With the write head positioned on a given track, the read head is dislodged from that track only by a negligible distance. This allows the read head to read sector and track numbers unfailingly from the disc.
Abstract:
Provided is an information processing apparatus including a detection unit configured to detect a failure requiring reimaging relating to an image captured using a digital microscope by evaluating the image, and a generation unit configured to, if the failure was detected by the detection unit, generate setting information for setting an imaging condition for during reimaging.

Abstract:
This apparatus reproduces data from a recording medium by a partial response method and decodes data by use of a shift register by the Viterbi decoding technique. The shift register has flip-flops Daj which latch data and are connected in series, and the XOR gates (31a to 31d) connected between the flip-flops Daj and used as operating means for calculating the exclusive disjunction of the outputs of the flip-flops so that CRC operation is executed.
Abstract:
A magnetic disk apparatus suitable for use as a hard disk apparatus in a computer system. The apparatus includes a disk-like medium having a magnetic film formed on a surface, which information is recorded on or reproduced from; and magnetic heads (20 - 31) for recording on or reproducing from the information the disk-like medium. The disk-like medium has data recording regions (20 - 41D) and control signal recording regions (20 - 40), (20 - 41H). In the data recording regions, data tracks are raised and adjacent data tracks are separated by recessing guard bands (20 - 20). In the control signal recording region, on the other hand, tracking marks (20 - 12), (20 - 13) for tracking control of the magnetic heads, track number marks (20 - 71) for stipulating the tracks , track numbers (20 - 41b1), (20 - 41b2) and clock marks (20 - 11) for equidistantly dividing a circumference are formed in projections and recesses along the paths (21 - 21) of the magnetic heads. In this apparatus, the guard band is recessed with respect to the track. Accordingly, the guard band needs not be expanded so as to reduce cross-talk, and a recording capacity can be increased by reducing the track pitch. Because the tracking mark and the track number mark or the clock mark are formed in projections and recesses along the paths of the magnetic heads, accurate access becomes possible even when the track pitch is reduced.
