Abstract:
A method of controlling a servo in an optical disc device and a servo control device using the method, in which the servo control device controls a servo for printing on a label surface of an optical disc and includes an optical pickup unit, an error signal generation unit, and a control unit. The optical pickup unit outputs a plurality of signals corresponding to a position of an object lens in response to light reflected from the label surface. The error signal generation unit outputs an error signal by selecting or combining one or more of the plurality of signals. The control unit adjusts the position of the object lens in response to the error signal. Therefore, because the position of the object lens can be adjusted with an increased range, the spot size of a beam condensed by the object lens can be adjusted within an increased range, and a data recording time can be reduced. Moreover, data retention characteristics and recording quality can be improved.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of minimizing color mis-registration due to runout of gears is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of photosensitive bodies having transfer points to transfer images onto a transfer object, a driving source to drive at least two photosensitive bodies of the plurality of photosensitive bodies, and a driving gear train to transmit driving power from the driving source to the at least two photosensitive bodies. The driving gear train includes photosensitive body shaft gears respectively connected to the photosensitive bodies driven by the driving source, and connecting gears to transmit the driving power to the photosensitive body shaft gears. When any one of the photosensitive body shaft gears is set to a reference photosensitive body shaft gear, the number of teeth of the connecting gear, which is disposed at a jth position from the reference photosensitive body shaft gear, is determined so that a value calculated from the following equation is substantially an integer. L π D · 1 R j Here, D refers to a diameter of each of the photosensitive bodies, L refers to a distance between the transfer points of two adjacent photosensitive bodies, and Rj refers to a speed reduction ratio from the jth connecting gear to the reference photosensitive body shaft gear.
Abstract:
An optical disc system and a method of managing shock while recording or playing data in the optical disc system are provided. The optical disc system includes an optical pick-up unit for applying a laser beam to a track of an optical disc and detecting reflected light, a servo unit for controlling tracking and focus of the optical pick-up unit and a monitoring unit for comparing a monitoring signal, which is output from the optical pick-up unit and the servo unit, with a reference signal and generating a blocking signal and a blocking release signal. Recording or playing of data on the optical disc is stopped in response to the blocking signal, and recording or playing of the data on the optical disc is resumed in response to the blocking release signal based on a state of the optical disc system when recording or playing was stopped.

Abstract:
A servo controller in a system includes a kick/brake control unit and a compensation unit. The kick/brake control unit determines an internal parameter based on an external control signal and an operation state of a plant. The compensation unit generates a driving control signal based on an error signal supplied from the plant and the internal parameter, and supplies the driving control signal to the plant. The plant performs a steady-state operation during a first operation mode and a target moving operation during a second operation mode based on the driving control signal.
