IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A cartridge (101) includes a case (102) that is formed hollowly and accommodates a consumable (114) therein, a land area that protrudes from a predetermined surface (103) of the case, and a recess that is formed on a reverse side of the predetermined surface at a position corresponding to the land area. A reverse side of a deepest portion of the recess is the land area. The deepest portion of the recess is toward the land area with respect to the predetermined surface. When a consumable, such as toner, is replenished or refilled into the cartridge, the land area is cut off to form a port where the consumable is refilled. Thus, the cartridge with a port for refilling a consumable readily formed can be provided. Accordingly, the cartridge can be reused.

Abstract: In an optical disk of HD-DVD, data is recorded in both grooves and lands. A groove track includes its own data region called a groove (G) track address system formed therein and a land track includes its own data region called a land (L) track address system formed therein. When tracing a groove track, address information X is read from the G track address system, and also address information Y is read from the L track address system. If neither relationship X=Y or X=Y+1 is satisfied, it is determined that the address information X includes an error. Further, a groove track includes its own data region called a groove (G) track address system having a parity bit formed therein and a land track includes its own data region called a land (L) track address system having a parity bit formed therein. When tracing a groove track, address information X is read from the G track address system, and also address information Y is read from the L track address system. Even when the parity is correct, if neither relationship X=Y or X=Y+1 is satisfied, it is determined that the address information X includes an error.
