Inventor: POZIDIS C
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2002-06-18
Abstract: Domain bloom, also known as asymmetry, is a systematic imperfection caused by the writing process in optical discs. During disc read-out it causes signal transitions to shift with respect to their nominal positions. State-of-the-art equalization and detection methods suffer significant performance losses if directly applied to replay signals with asymmetry. A non-linear model for replay signals with asymmetry is used for new equalization and detection techniques that are applicable to signals in the presence of asymmetry. Modifications are described of the threshold bit-detector, the run-length pushback bit-detector, and the PRML sequence detector, which have significant performance benefits. These benefits come at almost no additional cost with respect to existing detectors.

combustion engine. The method includes the steps of measuring at least one
characteristic of the fuel (14) corresponding to a temperature of the fuel, a

determining an approximation of the a measure of the volatility of the sample
volume of fuel (18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) using a linear function based on the
at least one measured characteristic of the fuel corresponding to temperature,
volume, and concentration of oxygenates of the fuel. Preferably, at least one
temperature measurement is associated with a predetermined volume of the
sample as the sample is evaluated. The method can include determining
whether a fuel contains ethanol (18), and if not, whether the fuel is a winter
blend of fuel (26) or a summer blend of fuel (30). The method to determine
whether ethanol is present can include the steps of bringing the fuel into contact

corresponding to concentration of oxygenates (18B), such as the change in
capacitance or resistance of the sensing element; and calculating the dielectric
constant or the conductivity of the sample respectively (18C). The method to
