Publication number: 20050180354Abstract: An adaptive modulation scheme relating to an RA problem for maximizing the transmission rates of all users for maximum transmission rates in an OFDMA system including some users requiring to use services at fixed data rates. The scheme proposes introduction of an adaptive modulation using linear programming into an existing scheme for a system including a single kind of users, thereby enabling simultaneous execution of the adaptive modulation for all users in a system including two kinds of users. Further, the invention proposes another scheme of sequentially allocating subchannels to the users when the fixed transmission rate has a sufficiently small value, in order to reduce the complexity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2004Publication date: August 18, 2005Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoon-Ok Cho, Yong-Hoon Lee, Young-Ho Jung, Eung-Sun Kim, Jong-Hyeuk Lee, Jae-Hak Chung, Chan-Soo Hwang, Seung-Hoon Nam

Publication number: 20050169162Abstract: An optical disc includes a substrate having micro-embossments, in which flat portions referred to as lands, and track guides, referred to as hills, and which protrude from the surfaces of the flat portions are formed. A reflective layer is formed on the substrate, a dielectric layer is formed on the reflective layer, a recording layer is formed on the dielectric layer, and a protective layer is formed on the recording layer. Thus, the lands and hills on the substrate of the optical disc enable disc fabrication to more easily facilitate manufacturing of the optical disc. Accordingly, tracks of the disc can be narrowed, to thereby enhance a recording density of the optical disc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2005Publication date: August 4, 2005Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yong-Hoon Lee, Chul-Woo Lee, Chong-Sam Chung, Kun-Ho Cho

Patent number: 6826772Abstract: A disk clamping apparatus for a disk player includes a turntable for receiving a disk, a disk clamper which clamps the disk placed on the turntable, and first and second magnetic bodies which are mounted in the corresponding turntable and the disk clamper and provide a clamping force to the disk by acting a reciprocal magnetic force on the turntable and the disk clamper. The first and second magnetic bodies are opposite to each other and partially overlap each other. In the disk clamping apparatus having the above structure, the variation in a clamping force caused by the variation in thickness of disks, received by the disk clamping apparatus, is very small. Accordingly, clamping and de-clamping of the disks having different thickness can be smoothly performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seok-jung Kim, Chong-sam Chung, Yong-hoon Lee, Han-kook Choi

Patent number: 6791933Abstract: An optical pickup apparatus having compatibility with a recodable compact disk (CD-R) and a digital video disk (DVD), which uses a wavelength of one of a first light beam and a second light beam according to the recording medium to be used. In the optical pickup apparatus, laser light sources emit a first light beam having a relatively shorter wavelength for the. DVD and a second light beam having a longer wavelength for the CD-R, respectively. An objective lens has a predetermined focal length in accordance with the position of an information recording surface in the DVD. An optical path control unit controls the path of light beams so that the light beam emitted from one of the laser light sources is directed to the objective lens and the light output from the objective lens is directed to the optical detection unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2000Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jang Hoon Yoo, Chul Woo Lee, Chong Sam Chung, Pyong Yong Seong, Kun Ho Cho, Hyun Seob Choi, Yong Hoon Lee, Tae Kyung Kim, No Kyong Park

Patent number: 6788645Abstract: A disk cartridge includes a case which contains a disk, and a shutter which opens/closes at least one opening formed in the case. The shutter is configured to be foldable around upper and lower surfaces of the case, and slides on the upper and lower surfaces of the case to open/close the opening. Since the shutter opens/closes the opening while being folded around the upper and lower surfaces of the case, a movable distance of the shutter for opening/closing the opening can be fully accommodated even though the size of the disk cartridge is reduced. In addition, applying the configuration of the shutter to a double-sided disk cartridge prevents an inflow of dust from entering into the double-sided disk cartridge since the shutter closes an opening, which is not in use, during a recording/reproducing operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Han-kook Choi, Yong-hoon Lee, Chong-sam Chung, Heui-jong Kang
