Abstract: An optical recording medium and a
recording/reproducing method therefor are provided for
stably and accurately addressing a basic recording and/or
reproducing unit (a sector or a frame) when a track pitch
is decreased for recording of a large capacity of data.
The general information (e.g., a variable frequency
oscillator, a sector number, a sector type, and error
detection information) of a corresponding sector is read
from a header, which has physical pits in the middle of
each of the land and groove tracks, before recording or
reproducing. The arrangement of a header in the form of
physical pits and a sector structure in which 2-kilobyte
minimum recording units are included in a user area within
a basic recording unit of 4 kilobytes are provided,
thereby reducing overhead and facilitating the generation
of a servo control signal and manufacture.

Abstract: The invention relates to three different methods for updating a linear feedback
shift register of a code generator, and code generators applying the methods.
In the basic method a Galois-type linear feedback shift register of a code
generator is updated to a target state which is at a known offset from a unit
state. The basic method comprises the following: (302) generating a binary
offset number illustrating the offset; (304) generating a counter showing the
number of bits in the binary offset number; (306) initializing a temporary state
with the unit state; (308) iterating as long as the counter value is higher than
zero: (310) multiplying the temporary state by itself by applying a Galois Field
multiplication; (312) shifting the temporary state one state forward from the
current temporary state if the value of the bit shown by the counter is one; and
(314) decrementing the counter value by one; (316) in the end, when the
counter has reached the value zero, setting the temporary state as the target
state. The described basic method is also employed in methods for updating a
Galois-type / Fibonacci-type linear feedback shift register of a code generator
to a new state which is at a known offset from a current state.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method comprising the following implementing steps consisting in: a) extracting from within a decoder a digital information constituting a channel identifier; b) detecting a change of selected channel; c) in the event a change is detected, producing a digital data message comprising the new channel identifier; d) transmitting said message to a user device; and e) using the message in the user device, in particular for statistical purposes. A change in access condition to the selected channel or a change in the decoder status, whether in on, standby or off modes can also be detected, for producing at step c) an access message comprising a corresponding indicator. In that case, an prefix is added to the message identifying the type of transition represented by the message, either a change of status or another transition. Steps a) through c) can be performed by software means internal to the decoder or its access control module, as the case may be. Step d) can be implemented via a non-specific access port of the decoder, in particular a series or parallel computerised port.

Abstract: The evaluation circuit evaluates an output signal of a magnetoresistive sensor (1) for rotational speed measurement. The evaluation circuit undertakes an offset compensation of the sensor signal and has a comparator (4) to which the offset compensated sensor signal is supplied and compares this with a reference voltage. In an initial mode, the value of the reference voltage is chosen to be temperature-dependent, in which case the temperature-dependency limit of the sensor signal is approached that a control is provided. It tests that a sensor signal is available, and only after the existence of this signal has been verified is the offset compensation triggered. It tests whether the comparator delivers an output signal, and the change-over to a control mode occurs only after existence of this signal has been verified, in which the temperature dependency of the reference voltage is switched off, and in which the reference voltage is instead adjusted to approximately 40% of the maximum amplitude of the offset compensated sensor signal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensing color of or colorant
associated with an article. The apparatus and method is particularly suited for
donor colorant detection and donor pick sensing in a thermal printer and for
example employs N light sources of distinct wavelengths paired with N
photosensors. Measured light values for a donor are combined to form an N-dimensioned
coordinate value which is then compared against N-dimensioned
reference values to determine a color or donor picking condition. The decision
algorithm uses a decision rule based on Maximum Likelihood Decoding methods,
whereby an Euclidean distance is computed between the measured N-dimensioned
coordinate value and each of a set of reference N-dimensioned coordinate values.
The apparatus and method detect which donor color has been picked and also
detects and identifies multi-pick and pick failure conditions.
