Abstract: Abrasion in the head carriage bearing and the spindle
motor bearing of an information recording and reproducing device
(19) mounted on an automobile, and degradation in the
rotational accuracy are prevented by detecting an activity on
the automobile, which takes place before vehicular vibrations
occur. Such activity may be the insertion of a door key (24),
or of the ignition key (23), a seat (25) being taken, or the
fastening of a seat belt (22). When such an activity is detected,
bearings of the spindle motor (1) and/or of the carriage
(8) are started to rotate of oscillate.

Abstract: A method of controlling resonances in timing drive systems for internal
combustion engines having variable cam timing systems using cam phasers with the
capability of being locked in position. Locking or unlocking the phaser changes the
resonant characteristics of the timing drive system. The invention uses these changes in
characteristics between locked and unlocked phasers to minimize the effects of resonance
in timing drives by changing between locked and unlocked states as engine RPM passes
through resonant points.

IPC: H04B10/158
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A repetitive burst-mode input signal that has a dark time portion, a preamble portion,
and a payload portion is converted into a limited output signal in accordance with a decision
threshold level, which is controlled by selectively coupling an averaged value of the burst-mode
data amplitude to the decision threshold level. The timing sequence for selectively coupling the
averaged signal value is controlled such that the average value of the burst-mode signal acquired
during the preamble portion of the burst-mode signal is applied to the decision threshold level
during substantially all of the payload portion. The control circuit may incorporate a phase-locked
loop, which locks onto the repetitive dark time frequency and in response synthesizes a
switchable track enable signal that controls the timing sequence of the decision threshold level.
The phase-locked loop can employ all-digital, analog, and/or hybrid digital/analog circuitry.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical recording/reproducing apparatus capable of improving medium usability through a laser power adjusting process while keeping compatibility with a read only type medium. The optical recording/reproducing apparatus adjusts laser power using a PCA till the PCA is used up. After the PCA is used up, an additional area is reserved at the outermost circumference position, thereafter when the additional area is used up, a new additional area is reserved at an inner circumference side of the used up additional area to adjust laser power. The additional area is reserved at an outer circumference than a lead-out area, and therefore format compatibility with a read only type optical disc can be maintained. The additional area is reserved only when the PCA is used up, thus capacity compatibility with a read only type optical disc can be maintained while laser power is adjusted with only the PCA.
