Patent number: 6738944Abstract: Time series progressing signal data and error correcting data for the data are recorded on a non-volatile memory card 25, and the recorded time series progressing signal data is reproduced after having been error-corrected with the error correcting data. During reproduction, if there is time series progressing signal data uncorrectable with the error correcting data, the time series progressing signal data is reproduced with an uncorrectable data error portion being contained therein, or the uncorrectable data error portion is skipped or muted and an error-free portion following the uncorrectable data error portion is reproduced. Thus, it is possible to reproduce and output the desired file data from the first data to the final data. Accordingly, it is possible to solve the problem that when there appears time series progressing signal data uncorrectable with error correcting data, it becomes impossible to reproduce time series progressing signal data which appears subsequently to the point in time.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2000Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Hirofumi Kanai

Patent number: 6467016Abstract: A control means 24A reads an unrecorded area of a recording medium 25 in advance, and stores the read unrecorded area in a stack of a RAM 11. The unrecorded area is stored in the stack of the RAM 11 by being pushed onto the bottom of a stack pointer. When new data is recorded on the recording medium 25, recording is executed in order from the top of the stack pointer. Accordingly, information which continuously progresses in a time series manner can be recorded on the recording medium 25 without lack of the information which continuously progresses, and it is possible to reduce the time required to calculate and display the remaining recording time.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2000Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Hirofumi Kanai

Patent number: 5790338Abstract: A library apparatus has a recording and reproducing unit and a storing rack having a number of shelves each adapted to store a recording medium and a carry robot is moved between shelves of the storing rack or between the recording and reproducing unit and a shelf of the storing rack to load/unload a target recording medium to/from a shelf or the recording and reproducing unit. A photosensor is mounted to the tip of a hand of the carry robot. The carry robot is moved to the target shelf in two-step control. Namely, a robot controller calculates the position of the target shelf and moves the robot to the calculated position in a coarse control.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hirofumi Kanai, Kenji Toki
