Abstract: A data storage apparatus adopting a time division multiplexing technique, and a data recording method and a data reproduction method both using the apparatus, are provided. In the data storage apparatus, a recording medium stores data, and a stage supports the recording medium. A scanner drives the stage, and a cantilever array composed of a plurality of cantilevers record data to and reproducing data from the recording medium in a data detecting sequence. A controller detects data by applying a scanner driving signal to the scanner and applying a voltage signal for data recording or a voltage modulation signal for data reproduction to the plurality of cantilevers. Controlling the plurality of cantilevers using a single controller enables a data storage apparatus to be driven with low power and reduced in its circuit size. Installation of a pseudo-differential capacitor ensures high sensitivity.

Abstract: A rapid data recording/reproducing method, a data recording system adopting the same, media for the system, and a tracking method, wherein the recording/reproducing method includes preparing media having a data recording layer in which a phase change is generated through electron absorption, generating electrons using an electron generating source at a position separated from the data recording layer by a predetermined interval, forming a magnetic field on the path of the electrons and cyclotron moving the electrons, recording data through local melting and cooling due to absorption of the electrons by the data recording layer. A micro-tip does not contact the data recording layer during electron collisions therewith, hence no damage is caused by or to the micro-tip. The present invention allows the region where the electron beam reaches the data recording layer to be minimized thereby maximizing the data recording density.

Abstract: A method for processing data, in a wireless application protocol for wireless applications using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), includes the steps of: (a) receiving data from an upper layer into a Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) layer; (b) storing the data received in the WDP layer in step (a) in a common buffer which is commonly used by the WDP layer and a USSD Dialogue Control Protocol (UDCP) layer; and (c) forming packets in the UDCP layer using the data stored in the common buffer in step (b), and then transmitting the packets through the USSD. According to the method, memories for the WDP layer and the UDCP layer, which is an adaptation layer for a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) USSD bearer, are integrated into one, effectively reducing a required memory size compared to conventional methods in which the WDP layer and the UDCP layer use separate memories.
