  • Patent number: 7343609
    Abstract: A control mechanism for a clamper guider in a slot-in drive comprises a motor used to drive a transmission sheet to move through a gear train; the transmission sheet drives a control sheet to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise and further to cause a raised piece of the control sheet to prop against or separate from the lower end of a downward bended section of the clamper guider to allow a clamper at the lower section of the clamper guider to be separated from or entered the location that a disc is clamped. Whereby, the whole control mechanism has a more power saving structure and the matching design of the whole transmission structure and the motor used therein is more convenient.

  • Patent number: 7260046
    Abstract: A clamper guider in a slot-in drive comprises a sheet body, a lower section at the lower side of the sheet body is disposed at the front end of the sheet body; a rear section pivotally connected to a ceiling plate of a chassis is disposed at the rear end of the sheet body; an arm is extended at the flank side of the sheet body, the flank side of the arm is connected to the ceiling plate of the chassis; a round hole combined with said clamper is disposed at the lower section. Whereby, the clamper guider has a smaller volume and the matching design of each component in the whole chassis is more convenient. And, a shorter pivoting end is disposed between the clamper guider and the ceiling plate of the chassis and the end that the clamper guider is combined with the clamper is more stable rather not to yield a shaking in the level direction.

  • Patent number: 6925505
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling data transmission between IDE apparatuses allow an IDE controller of an IDE control device to send read control signal to an IDE apparatus via a set of IDE interfaces and a signal control transmission line and then to send write control signal to another IDE apparatus via another set of IDE interfaces and another signal control transmission line. Thus, the output data from the IDE apparatus through the data transmission line can be accelerated the transmission speed thereof between IDE apparatuses so as to save the time for transmitting data.

  • Publication number: 20040175156
    Abstract: A method for video data can process the backup a VCD with damage zones to overcome a deficiency of the conventional CD-RW drive being incapable of backing up a VCD with damage zones. The method is to read data saved in a directory zone of the data storage zone first and, then, confirm location of the damage zone. Next, the method allows the optical pickup to skip the damage zone during the process of backing up the data in the data storage zone so as to complete the backup job for the entire data storage zone without accessing the damage zone.
