Publication number: 20020089763Abstract: A single element objective lens for an optical disc drive converges a laser beam, which is emitted by a laser source, on a data recording surface of an optical disc through a protective layer of the optical disc. One surface of the objective lens is divided into a central area including an optical axis thereof and a peripheral area surrounding the central area. The peripheral area is provided with a diffraction lens structure formed by a plurality of concentric annular zones including minute steps. The central area is a continuous surface having no stepped portions. The diffraction lens structure compensates for variation of converging characteristic of the objective lens due to a change of a temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2001Publication date: July 11, 2002Applicant: ASAHI KOGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shuichi Takeuchi, Koichi Maruyama

Publication number: 20020089311Abstract: The performance of a generator is improved in a higher range of the output by correcting a decrease in the average direct current voltage supplied to an inverter. An average calculator 95 calculates an average of direct current voltage inputs to the inverter 4 for comparing with a target voltage (level) VDC. When it is judged by an average voltage deviation detector 96 that the average is smaller by a specific amount than the target voltage level, the target voltage level is increased by an adjusting unit 98. A conductor angle setting unit 93 determines the conduction angle of thyristors to change the voltage input of the inverter to an adjusted target voltage level VDCm. A thyristor drive circuit 94 controls the conduction of the thyristors in the converter 3 according to the conduction angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2001Publication date: July 11, 2002Applicant: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motohiro Shimizu, Masashi Nakamura
