Abstract: Elimination of mis-detection of a front erasure section of reference information for controlling the position of a read/write head on the disk storage device is accomplished, by zoning a part of a disk surface for a specific zone RZ separately from a data storage zone DZ, storing a dummy data Dd in a code pattern with a predetermined repetition cycle in an entire area, excluding areas for reference information storage, of the specific zone RZ, and positioning a read/write head in the specific zone RZ to detect a front erasure section ER of the reference information RI by a reference information read out means 30. The read out means 30 reads out of an identification section ID and a servo information section SI of the reference information RI securely without being confused by fake erasure sections.

Abstract: A driving control apparatus consists of a battery for storing electric energy supplied to a motor-driven compressor and a drive motor, a direct current detector for detecting a direct current supplied from the battery to the compressor, a direct current voltage detector for detecting a d.c. voltage applied by the battery, a controller for calculating an electric power consumed by the motor-driven compressor, determining an upper limit of the electric power in dependence on the d.c. voltage, judging whether or not the electric power is larger than the upper limit, and controlling the compressor to reduce the electric power in cases where the electric power is larger than the upper limit. Because the upper limit of the electric power is determined in dependence on the d.c. voltage and because the electric power becomes necessarily lower than the upper limit, an electric tar is not stalled by the exhaustion of the electric power in the battery before a driver arrives at his destination.
