Patent number: 6337839Abstract: An optical disk according to the present invention has data recording tracks of lands and grooves. Each of the data recording tracks has a length corresponding to a revolution of the disk and includes a plurality of track sectors. The data recording tracks of lands and grooves are connected alternately to each other so as to form a continuous data recording spiral. Each of the track sectors has a preformatted identification signal part for representing sector address data and has a data recording part for recording data. The identification signal part has the first address data region and the second address region. The first address data region and the second address data region are shifted by the same predetermined distance from the center of a groove track oppositely in the radial direction of the disk.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Nakane, Hiroyuki Ohata, Masato Nagasa, Kenji Gotoh, Yoshinobu Ishida

Patent number: 6307821Abstract: In an optical disk drive apparatus for recording data on and reproducing data from an optical disk using both of data recording tracks formed of grooves and lands, is divided into an integer number of sectors, and the address data area of each sector is shifted in the radial direction. When a first sector is scanned, a data from the address data area of the first sector is read as a first direct address data, and a data from the address data area of an adjacent sector is read as a second direct address data. A first modified address data of the first sector is produced by modifying the second direct address data with an inter-track address difference, and a correct address value of the first sector is produced using the first direct address data and the first modified address data.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2000Date of Patent: October 23, 2001Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyuki Oohata, Kazuhiko Nakane, Kenji Gotoh, Yoshinobu Ishida
