Abstract: An access performance adjusting method is adapted to a storage apparatus having a storage to prestore a skew quantity that is used to shift a data write starting position of each track of a recording medium depending on a head moving time required to move a head from one track to another track during a sequential access in which a plurality of tracks of the recording medium are accessed sequentially. The method includes measuring an apparatus performance with respect to a combination of the head and the recording medium, calculating a skew adjusting quantity with respect to the combination based on a reference apparatus performance and the measured apparatus performance, and adjusting the skew quantity read from the storage by the skew adjusting quantity and storing the adjusted skew quantity in the storage as an updated value of the skew quantity.

Abstract: In conventional radio controlled models, a receive frequency is changed with a changeover switch mounted in a receiver body. In the present invention, a frequency switching scheme, employing a radio system in which a transmitter switches the receive frequency, is provided. Using weak radio waves usable without authorization, the transmitter transmits frequency data set therein as a frequency switching signal to a receiver. In the receiver, the receive frequency is set to a predetermined weak radio wave frequency when the power source is turned on. Upon receiving the weak radio waves, the receiver reads the frequency data out of the set signal and stores it into the memory means. Thus, the frequency setting has been completed. When the receiver does not receive the frequency switching signal for a fixed period of time, it reads out the frequency data used previously from the data memory to start the receiving operation.

Abstract: A multivalued FSK modulation system is provided in which when data to be transmitted is multivalued and transmitted/received, the detection level is different every symbol. When a two-valued signal is transmitted as one symbol, data (11), (01), (00) and (10) are previously set to be, for example, a shift of −6, a shift of +6, a shift of +2, and a shift of −2, respectively. When data to be input next is (00), mapping is performed so as to provide a sign weight of +2 from the sign weight at the position of current data. When the data to be input next is (10), mapping is performed so as to provide a sign weight of −2 from the position of the current sign weight. Thus, even if data of the same level is input, signals can be always detected in different levels, so that the sign detection point is not specified erroneously.

Abstract: A gyroscope suitable for a remote-controlled helicopter is provided that can improve the control characteristics to a disturbance factor such as wind as well as the response characteristics under yaw-axis control in a correct pitch operation. The angular velocity detection signal from the yaw-axis angular velocity sensor 10 is added to the yaw-axis control signal and the angular velocity reference value from the controlling gear. The PID controller 2 receives the resultant addition signal. The control signal from the PID controller 2 is added to the correct pitch control signal and the yaw-axis control signal sent via the correct pitch to yaw-axis control mixing unit 3. The actuator 6 receives the resultant addition signal and controls the yaw-axis driving unit 7. The yaw-axis angular velocity detection sensor 10 detects the angular velocity around the yaw-axis of the airframe 9.

Abstract: A mobile body controlling gear is provided that can suppress an occurrence of yaw motion due to an offset when the P control is switched to the PID control. The yaw-axis control signal Ep is added to the control signal from the P/PID controller. The added signal is input to the actuator. The yaw-axis driving unit performs yaw-axis control. The yaw-axis angular velocity detection sensor signal Sa is compared with the reference signal r. Then the P/PID controller receives the comparison signal. The reference value memory holds the yaw-axis control signal Ep immediately before the P/PID switching unit switches the P control mode to the PID control mode. The yaw-axis control signal Ep is handled as the reference signal rb for the PID control. The reference value rb is added to the angular velocity zero detection reference value rz and to the yaw-axis control signal Ep. The resultant sum is input to the PID terminal of the P/PID switching unit.
