Patent EP-1293970-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SASA NOBORU
IPC: G11B7/24082
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a
binarization device that realizes reproduction with a
low error rate, even where optimum recording
conditions such as recording power have not been set
in the recording device, or where optimum recording
has not been carried out for the reproducing device.
The binarization device includes a binarization unit,
a slice level setting unit, and a weight adding
function. The binarization unit binarizes a
reproduction signal obtained by reproducing
information recorded by mark length recording on a
recording medium to output high-level signals and
low-level signals based on a slice level. The slice
level setting unit calculates the average value of
the high-level signals output from the binarization
unit, and determines the slice level from the average
value. The determined slice level is set to the
binarization unit. Either the binarization unit or
the slice level setting unit adds a predetermined
weight to each signal having a short high-level time
among the high-level signals.

L'ensemble (54) laser comprend une paire de lasers (122, 126) supérieurs espacés l'un de l'autre, placés dans une position relative connue, au dessus d'une paire de lasers (124, 128) inférieurs. Ce dispositif comprend également des ensembles (114, 116) détecteurs qui sont composés de surfaces (118a, 120a) réfléchissantes sensiblement paraboliques munies de détecteurs (114a, 116a) placés sensiblement au point focal de ces surfaces (118a, 120a). Ce dispositif (46) est utilisé conjointement à une pluralité de cibles (44) réfléchissantes portant un code individuel, qui sont suspendues sur le véhicule (40) à des points de référence connus.
