  • Publication number: 20180295435
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an input device, a transmitting method, a host device, a receiving method, a signal processing system, and a transceiving method, which are capable of easily performing transmission and reception of multiplexed data obtained by multiplexing a plurality of electric signals between a plug device including a plug and a jack device including a jack. An input device detects whether or not the jack device including the jack is an associated device capable of dealing the multiplexed data obtained by multiplexing a plurality of electric signals, and transmits the multiplexed data via the plug when the jack device is the associated device. The host device detects whether or not the plug device including the plug is the associated device, and receives the multiplexed data transmitted from the plug device via the jack when the plug device is the associated device. The present technology can be applied to a music player having a jack and a headset having a plug, for example.

  • Patent number: 8223619
    Abstract: A reproduction apparatus for an optical recording medium that has a convex pit recording layer, in which pits are formed in a convex shape viewed from a laser incidence side, and a concave pit recording layer, in which pits are formed in a concave shape viewed from the laser incidence side, as recording layers in which data is recorded by pit strings, the pits being formed with a depth that is set in a range of ?/4.5 to ?/6 with respect to a laser wavelength ?, including: an optical head section that irradiates laser beams on the recording layers and detects reflected light information to read out information recorded in the recording layers; a tracking error signal generating section that generates a tracking signal; a polarity switching section that switches a polarity of the tracking error signal; and a tracking servo section that performs a tracking servo operation.

  • Patent number: 5805559
    Abstract: A laser power control circuit for controlling the laser power is provided in an automatic power control circuit of an optical disc device, an amplitude of an RF signal is examined by the LPC circuit, a control voltage to be applied to the APC circuit is generated, and feedback is applied to control the laser power and stabilize the RF signal level. By this, the reproduction can be stably carried out by even discs having different reflection rates, an improvement of the reproduction capability can be achieved, and a lowering of the optical output of the laser diode accompanied with aging and the lowering of the reproduction capability accompanied with the lowering of the optical output due to dust adhered to the pick-up can be prevented. Further, the laser power per se is controlled, so there is no effect on the band of the RF amplifier.
