Abstract: Provided are processes by which an ethylenimine polymer and an aqueous solution thereof can advantageously be produced at low costs in an industrial scale. The ethylenimine polymer can be produced by polymerizing crude ethylenimine obtained by a simple distilling operation from an ethylenimine-containing reaction mixture produced by subjecting ethanolamine to intermolecular dehydration reaction, preferably crude ethylenimine having impurity contents which are controlled in the specific ranges. When the above crude ethylenimine is polymerized in an aqueous medium, capable of being obtained is an aqueous solution of an ethylenimine polymer having a higher molecular weight than that produced by non-solvent polymerization. The ethylenimine polymer can be purified by, for example, adding water thereto, mixing them and then vaporizing and removing water under heating. The aqueous solution of an ethylenimine polymer can be purified by heating and condensing it.

Abstract: The invention is directed at ensuring stable track accessing despite the presence of backlash in a pickup drive mechanism, and at providing a precise track accessing operation not affected by the relative position or relative speed between pickup and carriage at the time a track access start instruction is issued. To achieve this, when the track access start instruction is issued in a tracking condition in which the pickup is following a track on a recording medium, the carriage is caused to begin to move in a track access direction by the action of a coarse actuator, while the pickup is still kept on track of the recording medium by means of a fine actuator.
