Patent EP-1094452-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MA BYUNG-IN
IPC: G11B7/131
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing apparatus, and more
particularly, a method for generating a signal for
detecting the direction of movement of a laser spot, a
method for detecting the direction of movement of the
laser spot, and apparatuses therefor are provided. The
method for detecting the direction of movement of a laser
spot in an optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus
having a photodetector divided into two or more sections,
each of which is a light receiving device, aligned in a
radial direction, includes the steps of detecting a phase
difference between the receiving signals corresponding to
light receiving devices of the photodetector and obtaining
a first phase difference signal for showing the degree, to
which the phase of the light receiving signal
corresponding to a first light receiving device farthest
advanced in the radial direction leads the phase of the
light receiving signal corresponding to a second light
receiving device, in the photodetector, and a second phase
difference signal for showing the degree to which the
phase of the light receiving signal corresponding to the
second light receiving device leads the phase of the light
receiving signal corresponding to the first light
receiving device, in the photodetector, integrating the
first and second phase difference signals, and adding the
integrated first and second phase difference signals to
each other and obtaining a signal for detecting the
direction of movement of the laser spot, and detecting the
direction of movement of the laser spot according to
whether the phase of the direction detecting signal leads
or lags the phase of a tracking error signal. According
to the method for detecting the direction of movement of 
the laser spot, it is possible to correctly detect the
direction of movement of the laser spot even when the
track pitch is smaller than the size of the laser spot
since the direction of movement of the laser spot is
detected by comparing the phase of the first phase signal
with the phase of the track error signal, where the first
phase signal and the track error signal are obtained by
detecting the phase difference between the light receiving
signals corresponding to the light receiving devices
divided in the radial direction in the photodetector.

Abstract: A system and method for invoking the performance of mobile node registration in a wireless communication network. The system comprises a terminal device for transmitting and receiving packetized data and a communication device coupled to the terminal device. The communication device monitors the packetized data for an Internet Protocol (IP) address contained in an IP address request. If the IP address request is for a static IP address the communication device waits for network movement information. Based on the received network movement information, the communication device solicits network address information. Upon receipt of the network address information, the terminal device then initiates Mobile Node registration. As a result, the Mobile Node registration is automatically invoked whenever the terminal device changes its network point-of-attachment.

Abstract: A clock recovery unit is used to recover a clock signal from
a transmitted data signal. The clock recovery unit includes a
phase locked loop (PLL) circuit and a frequency detection
circuit. The frequency detection circuit includes a digital
phase tracking circuit (DPTC), which uses a rotational phase
shifter to shift phase of a variable clock signal from a voltage
controlled oscillator in the PLL circuit, in discrete amounts
from 0 to 360 degrees, depending on a digital input code provided
by a digital accumulator, which receives up or down count signals
from a phase comparator. The shifted variable clock signal is
provided to a phase/frequency detector, which provides an output
to a glitch suppressor to suppress small phase differences prior
to providing the output to the PLL circuit. When the frequency
difference between the variable clock signal and the reference
clock signal is large, the phase/frequency detector drives the
frequency in the correct direction. When the frequency
difference is small, the DPTC keeps the phase of the shifted
variable clock signal aligned to the phase of the reference clock
signal.

solar array pointing control system and sensed solar array position to generate an
estimate of the position of the solar array. A summing device (16) sums the solar array
position estimate output, the body frame sun vector, and a bias signal derived from a
ground command, to produce a solar array position error signal. A filter (17) filters the
solar array position error signal. A current regulator processor (15) processes a
measured solar array current to produce another solar array position error signal based
on current output. An eclipse processor (18) processes the satellite orbital location
data, the solar array position error output signal, and the low pass filtered solar array
position error signal to generate a step command. The solar array pointing control
system processes the step command to generate control signals that point the solar
array at the sun.
