  • Patent number: 7116629
    Abstract: A data recording and reproducing method for an optical disk data storage system to record data compressed at different data compression rate according to an operator's specification, and to reproduce the recorded data by decompressing. According to the operator's indication, the data is recorded at certain data compression rate in indicated area. The information of the data compression rate and the recorded area is stored as a table of contents (TOC) data. The TOC data is reproduced and stored in a memory after the optical disk is loaded. The recorded data is reproduced by selecting a decoding circuit to decompress the data. The decoding circuit is selected by referring the TOC data to identify data compression rate of the recorded data. Also the TOC data is referred to identify read-in and read-out region of the recorded data. The position of a pick-up when the data recording is started and ended, is recorded as the TOC data to provide random access capability for the data reproduction.

  • Patent number: 6873940
    Abstract: According to the present invention, detection signals detected from a measured medium (medium to be measured) are modulated by interface means into specific detection signs, and transmitted to a communication line by means of a transmitter on the client side. The detection signals transmitted are received at a receiver on the server side, demodulated by interface means through measurement-signal receiving means, and analyzed by desired one of measuring instruments. The detection signals of the measurement results from the measuring instrument are modulated through an interface circuit and measurement-result sending circuit, and transmitted to the communication line by means of the transmitter on the server side. The data signals of the measurement results are received at the receiver on the client side, and demodulated by the measurement-result receiving means, so that the measurement results can be obtained on measurement-results display means.

    Abstract: A data recording and reproducing method for an optical disk data storage system to record data compressed at different data compression rate according to an operator's specification, and to reproduce the recorded data by decompressing. According to the operator's indication, the data is recorded at certain data compression rate in indicated area. The information of the data compression rate and the recorded area is stored as a total of contents (TOC) data. The TOC data is reproduced and stored in a memory after the optical disk is loaded. The recorded data is reproduced by selecting a decoding circuit to decompress the data. The decoding circuit is selected by referring the TOC data to identify data compression rate of the recorded data.
