Scanning Beam Control System

View page
US Patent:
44146558, Nov 8, 1983
Filed:
Mar 31, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/249550
Inventors:
Robert M. Shoji - Gardena CA
John S. Chudy - Long Beach CA
Assignee:
Discovision Associates - Costa Mesa CA
International Classification:
G11B 2110
US Classification:
369 44
Abstract:
A control system for use in controllably adjusting a prescribed characteristic of a beam scanning a record medium. In the preferred embodiments, the control system is embodied in a tracking apparatus for use in a playback system for recovering information from a selected recording track on an optical record medium such as a video disc. The tracking apparatus produces a tracking error signal representative of the deviation of a scanning reading beam from the centerline of the selected track, and couples this error signal to a movable tracking mirror to form a servo for controllably positioning the beam in alignment with the track. The tracking apparatus further includes a dimple compensation circuit for monitoring the tracking error signal and producing a tracking loop disable signal whenever it determines that the reading beam is scanning a video disc defect, such as a dimple. This disable signal is used to uncouple the tracking error signal from the tracking mirror, so that the reading beam is maintained at its current position until the dimple has been passed.

Tracking System For Optical Record Medium

US Patent:
44060009, Sep 20, 1983
Filed:
Mar 31, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/249549
Inventors:
Robert M. Shoji - Gardena CA
John S. Chudy - Long Beach CA
Carlyle J. Eberly - Long Beach CA
Assignee:
Discovision Associates - Costa Mesa CA
International Classification:
G11B 2110
US Classification:
369 44
Abstract:
Tracking apparatus and related method for use in a playback system for recovering information from a selected recording track on an optical record medium such as a video disc. The tracking apparatus produces a tracking error signal representative of the deviation of a scanning reading beam from the centerline of the selected track, and couples this error signal to a movable tracking mirror to form a servo for controllably positioning the beam in alignment with the track. The tracking apparatus further includes a defect detection circuit for monitoring the tracking error signal and producing a pair of control signals that indicate when video disc defects of prescribed types are being scanned, and a threshold detector circuit for comparing the error signal to prescribed positive and negative thresholds that are selectively-variable in accordance with the pair of control signals. A tracking loop disable signal is produced whenever the magnitude of the error signal exceeds either threshold, and this disable signal is used to uncouple the tracking error signal from the tracking mirror, so that the reading beam is maintained at its current position until the dimple has been passed.
