  • Publication number: 20090310458
    Abstract: The present invention aims to, when recording pulse information are transmitted to a laser driver lying over a pickup through an optical disk, reduce the number of transmission paths or lines from a conventional transmission method and avoid degradation of recording performance due to transmission path characteristics upon fastening of a recording speed thereby to provide stable recording performance at high-speed recording. The invention of the present application reduces the number of transmission signals by encoding multi-level laser pulse information transmitted by the laser driver. Further, gray codes are used for encoding to reduce constraints of skew between bits. Furthermore, encoding is executed using each state transition and the state transitions are switched according to each recording mark and space, thereby reducing the occurrence of a short pulse on each transmission path.

  • Patent number: 7210471
    Abstract: A breather chamber is located in a blow-by gas passage to separate oil from blow-by gas. A partitioning member partitions the interior of the breather chamber into a plurality of spaces. The partitioning member is arranged such that the spaces extend along the flowing direction of the blow-by gas and that an adjacent pair of the spaces are connected at ends in the flowing direction. A separating member is provided in at least one of the spaces. The separating member obstructs the flow of the blow-by gas in the associated space, thereby separating oil from the blow-by gas. Therefore, oil is separated from the blow-by gas securely and is prevented from being brought out of the breather chamber.
