Patent number: 7308533Abstract: In an additional writing format optical disk library unit or the like, the processing for automatically reorganizing a volume is carried out effectively so as to intend to reuse media. Whether the number of residual blank media surfaces in a volume is small is judged. If the number is small, media surfaces each having a low data valid rate are extracted from the volume. Valid data on the extracted media surfaces is written and added to a medium surface which is currently set as a writing target, so that data relocation is carried out. Media surfaces occupied only by invalid areas are deregistered from the volume. Further, the media surfaces deregistered from the volume are formatted. The formatted media surfaces are re-registered into the volume.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2002Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi Tezuka, Junichi Takahashi, Takuya Mizokami

Patent number: 5524103Abstract: In recording and/or reproducing data into and from a disk record medium having a record medium in which a plurality of tracks are arranged radially, the record area is divided into a plurality of zones, and a clock frequency is assigned to each zone. The data recording and/or reproducing are performed according to the clock of the frequency assigned to the respective zone. Each zone is subdivided to include a plurality of tracks, and a clock having a different frequency is assigned to each zone. Each frequency is set in such a manner that the record capacity of the track gradually becomes larger as the zone is nearer to the outer zone.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1994Date of Patent: June 4, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kikuo Shimizu, Shinichi Arai, Takuya Mizokami, Takeshi Maeda, Atsushi Saito

Patent number: 5448543Abstract: A PLL circuit produces a synchronous signal by utilizing a regenerative clock signal in a VFO portion in a regenerative signal which was read out from a recording medium in sections. When a defective portion is present in a regenerative clock signal, the same sector is read out again from the recording medium to obtain the regenerative signal. A loop gain of the PLL circuit is made to be low in the defective portion of the regenerative signal which was read out again, thereby to prevent the synchronous fault of the PLL circuit due to the defective portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1992Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takuya Mizokami, Noritaka Narita, Akira Takagishi, Masahiro Takasago, Toru Kawashima, Masanori Matsuzaki, Toshiharu Kon

Patent number: 5335216Abstract: A recording/reproducing apparatus detecting a starting position of each data recording block or sector on a data recording medium, such as an optical disk. A VFO pattern and a CRC code are recorded at a starting position of each of the sectors. The VFO pattern and the CRC code are utilized for detecting a starting position of each sector with no predetermined pattern or sector mark, on the recording medium, which is dedicated for the starting position detection. This improves data formatting efficiency of the recording medium while maintaining the accuracies of automatic focusing and tracking even in a system employing pit-edge recording/reproducing.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1993Date of Patent: August 2, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Suzuki, Takuya Mizokami, Kikuo Shimizu

Patent number: 5307333Abstract: An optical information memory apparatus in which after a coarse seeking operation to position an optical head to a position near a seeking target address at a high speed has been executed, only at a time point when a light spot has reached a predetermined region from the center of a track near a seeking target address, the pull-in control of the light spot to the track center is executed. The optical information memory apparatus has: a zero-cross pulse generator for receiving a tracking error signal and for producing tracking error zero-cross pulses; and a window comparator for receiving the tracking error signal and for producing tracking error window pulses which are obtained by slicing the tracking error signal by predetermined binary slice levels of an upper limit and a lower limit. Further, at a time point when a period of time of the low level of the tracking error zero-cross pulse is equal to or larger than a predetermined time interval T.sub.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1991Date of Patent: April 26, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Fumiaki Ikeda, Atsushi Saito, Takuya Mizokami

Patent number: 5182740Abstract: This invention is intended for MCAV-based information processing which records and/or reproduces data. A disc-shaped recording medium having a record area formed in a plurality of concentric tracks is rotated at a constant angular velocity, the record area is partitioned into a plurality of zones depending on the radial position, base clock frequencies are assigned to the zones so that an outer zone has a higher clock frequency than an inner zone, and data is recorded and reproduced in each zone in accordance with the base clock of the assigned frequency. In recording and reproducing data, a VFO signal recorded together with the unit block data of recording and reproduction (sector) is reproduced thereby to produce a VFO clock which is synchronous with the reproduced VFO signal by means of a phase lock circuit (VFO), and, in introducing reproduced data which follows the VFO signal into the reproduced data introduction circuit, synchronization disorder (sync-disorder) of the VFO clock is detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1991Date of Patent: January 26, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takuya Mizokami, Shinichi Arai
