Method and an apparatus for system encoding bitstreams for seamless connection
InactiveUSRE37994E1Smoothly reproducedMultilayered discsTelevision system detailsComputer hardwareData buffer
An encoding method for producing specific encoded data by calculating the data occupancy of a decoding buffer memory of a particular size that is used when decoding the encoded data during reproduction, defining the allocated code size of a particular period based on the calculation result, and compression coding the signal of a particular period to the allocated code size. The data occupancy is calculated on the assumption that virtual encoded data is transferred to the decoding buffer memory following the transfer of the first-encoded data to the decoding buffer memory. The data occupancy when the last data in the first encoded data is decoded is calculated as the final buffer occupancy Be. The data occupancy when the encoding process producing the second encoded data is begun is an initial buffer occupancy Bi where the initial buffer occupancy Bi is less than the final buffer occupancy Be, and thus allocated code size is defined based on the change in the data occupancy.

InactiveUS6894967B2Reduce recording timeReduce in quantityTelevision system detailsFilamentary/web record carriersConstant linear velocityData recording
An optical disk recording apparatus operates on an optical disk having circular tracks which are provisionally written with an index signal used for securing a constant linear velocity of the optical disk from an innermost circular track to an outermost circular track, and records data along the circular tracks at different linear densities on different annular zones of the optical disk. In the apparatus, a disk drive section rotates the optical disk while synchronizing the index signal successively read from the rotated optical disk with a predetermined reference clock signal to thereby maintain the constant linear velocity of the circular tracks. A clock generating section multiplies or divides the reference clock signal by different rates to generate different writing clock signals in correspondence to the different annular zones of the optical disk. A data recording section operates in synchronization to the different writing clock signals for recording data along the circular tracks at the different linear densities on the different annular zones.

In order to define movement of a particular key to be automatically operated, first-order trajectory data are generated, on the basis of performance information, which are indicative of variation over time of position, velocity and acceleration components of the particular key. Jerk component related to the movement of the particular key is calculated on the basis of the acceleration component in the first-order trajectory data, and second-order trajectory data are generated by modifying the first-order trajectory data with the calculated jerk component. Then, a drive device for driving the particular key is servo-controlled on the basis of the second-order trajectory data. In this way, nonconstant acceleration (or constant jerk) control, rather than constant acceleration control, can be performed to control driving of the key during a successive key depression, so as to allow the successively-depressed key to operate with an increased smoothness.
