Abstract: A magnetic-field-to-voltage transducer includes a Hall element and a
digitally gain-controlled Hall-voltage amplifier that produces an analog voltage Vsig
having excursions of one polarity corresponding to the passing of magnetic articles.
Vsig is applied to the input of a peak-referenced-threshold signal detector that
generates a binary proximity-detector output voltage, Vout, having transitions of one
direction upon approaches of gear teeth down to zero speed. A digitally gain-controlled
amplifier is connected to the Hall element. A comparator circuit generates
a binary signal Vbig (or V toobig ) that changes from one to another binary level each
time that Vsig exceeds a DC target voltage, V TG . The AGC circuit incrementally
changes the transducer gain in the direction to bring the peaks in Vsig to just below
the target value T TG . Reference voltages V P2  and V N2  are generated that are equal
respectively to the most recent peak positive and negative going excursion in Vsig.
DC off-set-limit voltages V A  and V B  are provided that are respectively above and
below the center of the dynamic voltage range of the detector, and the entire signal
Vsig at the output of the amplifier is biased in a negative direction when the median
value, Vos, of Vsig is greater than V A  and moving the entire signal Vsig in a less
positive direction when Vos is less than V B  to keep Vos within the range from V B  to
V A .

Abstract: A system for attaching an adhesive backed write-protect ring (104, 608) to an
optical disk (100) with the center of the ring aligned to the center of the central hole (102)
in the disk. A write-protect assembly (600) is formed from a multilayer material having an
adhesive backed label layer and a backing layer. The write-protect assembly includes a
removable innermost area (308, 606) that, when removed, forms a hole having a diameter
that is the same diameter as the central hole of an optical disk. The innermost area is at
least partially surrounded by a ring shaped alignment area (306, 610) that is also
removable. Finally, the alignment area is surrounded by the write-protect ring. The central
area of the assembly is punched out to form a hole and the backing material is removed
from at least part (310, 614) of the write protect area, exposing the adhesive coated
surface. The assembly and an optical disk are placed onto an alignment cylinder (300,
408). The alignment area of the write-protect assembly ensures that the center of the write-protect
ring is aligned to the center of the hole in the disk. Finally, the disk with write-protect
ring and alignment area attached is removed from the alignment cylinder and the
alignment area of the write-protect assembly is removed, leaving just the write-protect ring
attached to the disk. The hub (408) of the plastic insert tray (406) of a CD jewel case (402)
may be used for an alignment cylinder. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the
write-protect assembly is placed onto the hub first, and the design of the assembly is such
that the hub helps remove the central area and the hub helps removal of the backing over
the write-protect ring.
