Abstract: The method involves having an electric installation with spatially distributed electromechanical functional units (1) which are arranged on specific constructional positions. The functional units are controlled in an individual manner by a network address (7) which is stored in an electronic form via a signal transfer network from a central control unit (3). Each functional unit is provided with a first optical, electromagnetic and or mechanical identification code (6) which can be read from the outside and which is allocated to the device-specific internal address. Each functional unit also has a second optical, electromagnetic and or mechanical additional code (8) which contains specific information and which can also be read from the outside. Both codes (6, 8) are detected in pairs and electronically stored and are transferred to the control unit (3) for further processing using optical, electromagnetic and or mechanic reader.

Abstract: In a tilt correction method, first information
about a specific inclination of an object lens is
acquired in response to an access request to an
information recording medium. The specific
inclination is obtained when the signal
characteristic of a push-pull signal becomes a
prescribed level in or near a target access area.
Then, second information about the optimum
inclination of the object lens is acquired for the
target access area, based on the first information
and tilt difference information representing a
difference between a first inclination and a second
inclination of the object lens defined in advance in
a particular area on the information recording medium.
The first inclination corresponds to an optimum
reproduced signal from the particular area, and the
second inclination is obtained when the signal
characteristic of the push-pull signal from the
particular area becomes the prescribed level. Finally,
tilt correction information is estimated from the
second information.
