  • Patent number: 7088647
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a controller storing information on dense/sparse state of the tracking error signal in connection with characteristic of the signal generated by a phase encoder while tracking servo of a servo unit is inactivated, and, in data reproduction mode, identifying a current disk phase based on characteristic of the signal generated by the phase encoder, and adjusting tracking characteristic of the servo unit based on the stored information in connection with the signal characteristic in order to compensate an effect rate of eccentricity on the identified disk phase. Through minute adjustment of servo characteristic for each disk phase, error range of TE signal to track in real time is reduced. Therefore, tracking for an eccentric disk becomes easier and more reliable.

  • Publication number: 20060060784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to uncooled infrared detector with infrared absorption structure in which the supporting layer, detection layer, protecting layer, and dielectric layer construct ?/4 resonating absorbtion structure as a single body. In order to enhance the characteristic of uncooled infrared detector, it is essential for the infrared absorption layer to absorb incident infrared with high efficiency. The present invention is characterized in that the infrared detector with unified absorption layer includes an infrared detection film, a device protecting layer, a supporting layer for thermally isolated structure, and a dielectric layer, etc. in its absorption structure. Due to this characteristic, highly efficient infrared absorption is possible with much less thermal mass than the absorption layer for the structure of existing metal/dielectric/metal structure and regardless of the distortion of floating structure caused by fabrication fault rather than air cavity ?/4 structure.

  • Publication number: 20050167592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxide thin film for a bolometer-type uncooled infrared detector having high sensitivity. A vanadium tungsten oxide (V—W—Ox), i.e. a tungsten-doped vanadium oxide, is provided as an oxide film for a bolometer. An oxide for bolometer having characteristics of low resistance of 5 to 200 k? and variable TCR between ?1.5 and ?4.1%/° C. can be obtained by an oxidation of vanadium-tungsten metal film at a low temperature around 300° C., with changing a tungsten content and oxidation time. And a reproducible thin film can be fabricated by low price equipment for thin film deposition, without expensive ion beam or laser apparatus. Accordingly, an oxide for bolometer having characteristics of resistance lower than 100 k? and TCR higher than ?3%/° C. can be obtained with reproducibility, whereby an uncooled-type infrared detector having high sensitivity can be fabricated.

  • Publication number: 20030090978
    Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and method of determining an optimal writing power for an aged writable disk after checking whether a writable disk is aged or not. The present invention reads signals written on a writable disk, judges whether or not the writable disk is aged based on a signal characteristic, e.g., a level difference between the read signals before and after an equalization and jitter of the read signals, and conducts an OPC at least twice for the writable disk to obtain a precise optimal writing power if judged to be aged. The precise optimal writing power can prevent deterioration of reproduction characteristic of recorded data even though an aged writable disk is used.

  • Publication number: 20030058767
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of recording data onto an optical disk using a write strategy that corresponds to the recording features of the optical disk. The present method detects a track pitch or storage capacity of a recording medium, adjusts a write strategy according to the detected track pitch or storage capacity wherein the write strategy has been chosen to correspond to the manufacturer of the recording medium, and records input data onto the recording medium using the adjusted write strategy. Accordingly, data quality during later reproduction is improved even though it is recorded onto a non-standard disk that is larger in capacity than the standard.
