摘要： Optical wireless links automatically align themselves using feedback information that is transmitted over the light beams being aligned. Each link performs an acquisition routine in which its light beam is swept through a pre-defined pattern while transmitting its beam alignment information. When a link receives beam alignment information from a remote link, it updates its transmission to include the alignment information received from the remote link. At some point during the acquisition routine, the remote link will receive its own alignment information “echoed back” from the first link and will re-align its beam accordingly. At some point, each link will have received its own alignment information echoed back from the other link and will have aligned itself to that position. Data communication can begin at that point, or a more refined alignment step can then be performed. The alignment information can be based upon position, sample number, or time transmitted.

摘要： In an optical wireless network, where light beams are transmitted over-the-air, reflections of the transmitted light beams may cause a receiver of an optical wireless device to detect and subsequently lock onto the signal that it transmitted. By doing so, the network is effectively broken. A method and apparatus to detect the reception of reflected signals using minimal additional hardware and data is presented. Should a reflected signal be detected, the receiver is prevented from locking onto the signal, allowing the receiver to detect and subsequently lock onto light beams originating from other optical wireless devices.

摘要： In optical wireless networks, light beams are transmitted over-the-air and maximum performance is achieved when light beams are aligned with corresponding light detectors. A feedback control system is created between transmitting and receiving units, wherein the receiving unit provides positional data about the light beam from the transmitting unit. The transmitting unit uses the data provided to make adjustments to its light beam. However, in order to use the positional data, the units must be operating with a common coordinate basis. A method is provided for determining the basis and generating the transformation needed to modify positional data from one unit into information that is useful for the other unit. Additionally, a method is presented for using the positional data to maintain proper alignment of the light beam.

摘要： Micro-electromechanical apparatus and method with position sensor compensation to compensate for sensor drift. A preferred embodiment comprises modifying the intensity of a light source used in position detection to maintain a constant sum of the voltages output from photodetectors receiving light from the light source. Preferred embodiments may be implemented in digital signal processor code, or external to the processor in analog circuitry. By adjusting light source intensity, position calculations may be performed without normalization, and thus without a time-consuming division operation.

摘要： A method of mapping sequential logical data blocks to multiple disk surfaces. Data blocks are written to a predetermined number of adjacent tracks on each surface before performing a head switch to write data on another surface. The predetermined number of tracks are written on each surface in turn before performing a seek and head switch to continue writing on another predetermined number of tracks on each surface. After each head switch to continue writing from the radial position reached when writing the previous group of tracks, the direction of track incrementing or decrementing reverses so that the actuator moves back and forth in a "serpentine" manner.

摘要： Signal conversion apparatus and method with coarse and fine digital to analog converters. The output of the coarse DAC has a high gain to support wide voltage swings, while the fine DAC has a low gain to support accurate tracking control. The two outputs are combined in an analog summing junction. The apparatus and method may comprise a low pass filter connected to the coarse DAC output. The filter may be switched off during large changes to provide rapid system response, and switched on during position holding to attenuate noise from the coarse DAC. The apparatus and method may comprise a pre-charging capacitor in the filter, wherein the capacitor may be pre-charged when the filter is off, reducing the switch transient when the filter is switched on.
