Patent EP-1326028-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LIGHT GERARD M
IPC: F16D37/02
Filed: 2002-12-05
Abstract: An electronically-controlled viscous coupling (50) is coupled to a water pump (34) to
control the coolant flow rate of engine coolant to an engine at a given engine speed
to maximize fuel economy and minimize emissions. The viscous coupling has a
stationary electrical coil (52) that, when excited by electrical current, induces the driven
disk (60) to flex away from an input disk (54) within the viscous, thereby increasing the size
of the shear area, thereby decreasing the amount of torque produced to drive the
water pump shaft (62) and impellers (77) that control the coolant flow rate. A carrier (71)
coupled to the back of the driven disk maximizes the amount of flex allowed to the
driven disk, thereby assuring a maximum decrease in rotational speed of the
impellers at a given engine speed and ensuring that the driven disk does not
contact the stationary coil.

Abstract: As a rotational reference position (40) of a rotating drum (16) is detected by a rotational position detection sensor (42) for each rotation of the rotating drum, a rotational position of the rotating drum at a time of detection can be known. Subsequent to a signal for instructing stop of the rotating drum being input, the rotational reference position is detected. Then, a stop position calculation processing section (56) calculates a stop control pulse for stopping the rotating drum from the rotational position at a trailing edge chuck (36) detaching position. Thus, the rotating drum is reliably stopped at the trailing edge chuck detaching position. A stop processing is performed by a rotating drum drive control section (58) when the rotational reference position is detected after the calculation. As a result, the stop position is not shifted by the time required for calculation and generation of the stop control pulse.

Abstract: A magneto-optical disc 1, for example, that is storage media in which information is stored, is rotated by a spindle motor 2. Reflected light from the magneto-optical disc 1 is detected by an optical head 3 and a detected signal is supplied to a servo circuit 4, which then makes servo operations. Further, upon reproducing operation, information is read out from the detected signal detected from the magneto-optical disc 1. Of the thus read out information, a reproduced RF (radio frequency) signal is processed in a decoding fashion such as modulation by a decoder 6 and written in a buffer memory area of a nonvolatile memory 8 composed of a suitable memory such as an MRAM (magnetic random-access memory). Furthermore, written data is transferred to a codec (coder and decoder) decoder 10 under control of a memory controller 9, in which transferred data is expanded and processed in a reproduced signal processing fashion, thereby resulting in an output digital signal being formed. The thus formed output digital signal is transferred to a D/A (digital-to-analog) converter and thereby reproduced. Thus, the information reproducing apparatus can resume reproducing information more quickly without increasing power consumption.
