  • Patent number: 7692890
    Abstract: A method of the present invention is used to control a flying height of a head operable to read data from and write data to a disk of a recording medium housed in an enclosure. In this method, the head is positioned to a predetermined radial measurement location on the disk to obtain error information on errors in the positioning of the head. A frequency analysis is performed on the obtained error information. Disturbance information on errors caused by a wind disturbance is calculated from the frequency analysis result. Pressure information on an air pressure in the enclosure is calculated based on the calculated disturbance information. A control value for controlling a flying height of the head with respect to the disk is determined based on the calculated pressure information. The flying height of the head is controlled based on the determined control value.

  • Patent number: 7397737
    Abstract: A position sensor detects a position of an objective lens for irradiating light onto an optical disk. An output adjustment of the position sensor is used for correcting characteristics change due the change with the passage of time. The position of an objective lens and the output of a position sensor are measured at a reference time, the ratio at the neutral point is determined in advance, and when the device is used, the position of the objective lens and the output of the position sensor are measured. The output level at the neutral point during using the device is calculated from the measurement result and the ratio at the neutral point.

  • Patent number: 7345972
    Abstract: A storage apparatus rotates an optical recording medium at two or more kinds of rotational speeds. The rotational speed is decreased when a read or write margin becomes less than or equal to a first predetermined value or, when a frequency of generation of a servo abnormality of a tracking servo and/or a focus servo is greater than or equal to a first predetermined frequency. On the other hand, the rotational speed is increased when the read or write margin becomes greater than or equal to a second predetermined value or, when the frequency of generation of the servo abnormality of the tracking servo and/or the focus servo is less than or equal to a second predetermined frequency.
