Abstract: A method is provided for discriminating the type of a
multi-layer optical disc. This method can accurately
discriminate the type of a multi-layer optical disc loaded in an
optical disc player such as a DVD player, based on the detection
time interval between successive focus OK signals. The multi-layer
optical disc may have diverse types such as a DVD-dual
layer type and a hybrid super audio CD type. In accordance with
this method, it is possible to achieve normal servo and signal
processing operations according to the type of the multi-layer
optical disc (Fig. 1).

Abstract: A disk brake comprising a brake housing (1) which straddles a braking disc (3) and is slidably mounted on a torque taking member (5) which carries a directly actuated and an indirectly actuated friction pad assembly (25; 29) located on opposite side faces of the braking disc (3). The brake housing (1) is slidable towards and away from the braking disc (3) under the action of an actuator mechanism (13) which is housed in part of the brake housing (1) on one side of the braking disc (3). The actuator mechanism (13) comprises a pair of tappets (15; 17) which can engage against the directly actuatable friction pad assembly (25), the tappets (15; 17) being axially slidable towards the braking disc (3) by a lever and eccentric arrangement (27). One end region of the lever (81) has two lateral extensions (87), each extension (87) forming a part cylindrical bearing surface (89) which is supported on a bearing seat (93) within the brake housing (1). A groove (95) extends transversely of the lever between the lateral extensions (87), the groove (95) being eccentric relative to said part cylindrical bearing surfaces (89) and housing a force transmitting member (97) towards each end region thereof. Each force transmitting member (97) engages a respective tappet (15; 17). An intermediate member (99) located in the groove between the two force transmitting members (97) serves to correctly position the force transmitting members (97) with respect to the tappets (15; 17) and carries a gear drive (73) which engages with an adjuster mechanism which can operate to adjust the length of the tappets (15; 17) as necessary.

Abstract: An objective lens driving apparatus for an optical
pickup includes a blade (20) on which an objective lens
(10) is mounted, a plurality of elastic support members
(W1-W6) supporting the blade (20) and capable of
elastically moving with respect to the blade (20), and a
servo mechanism driving the blade up and down, left and
right, and in a rotational direction. The elastic support
members (W1-W6) are grouped into pairs of the elastic
support members arranged to face each other with respect
to a center of rotation of the blade, and distances
between the elastic support members in the respective
pairs are identical. Thus, by almost removing a
difference in the amount of deformation between the
elastic support members supporting the blade during tilt
control, the elastic support members are prevented from
being moved in arbitrary directions when a small impact or
vibration is applied or generated. Thus, the control of
the position of the objective lens can be stably
performed.

Abstract: A process for generating a number representative of an analogue data source (ADS) in which during enrolment a distinctive characteristic of the ADS is measured to obtain physical data (PD). Part of the PD is used to generate a physical value (PV) representative of the ADS. An error correction algorithm (ECA) is applied to the PV to generate error correction data (ECD), which is transformed, using another part of the PD, to generate transform data. During subsequent regeneration of the PV, the distinctive characteristic is re-measured to generate a new set of PD, and a PV is generated using the same part of the PD physical data as was used during enrolment. ECD is generated by transforming the transform data, using the same part of the PD as was used to transform the ECD during enrolment. The ECA uses the regenerated ECD to correct errors in the PV representative of the ADS.

pulse width corresponding to a value represented by a pulse
code modulation digital signal and placed in a symmetric
positional relationship with respect to the position of one
half of a predetermined length. A first pulse and a second

pulse width. When the value represented by the digital
signal changes by one, one of the first and second pulses
does not change in pulse width, while the other of the first
