Method And Apparatus For Multi-Track Data Translation On A Disc

US Patent:
4422110, Dec 20, 1983
Filed:
Aug 25, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/296083
Inventors:
Robert S. Reynolds - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G11B 1902, G11B 2108
US Classification:
360 69
Abstract:
Data representations are translated on a rotating disc utilizing multiple transducers at different radial positions. The disc is logically formatted into selected concentric bands. Within each band data representations are translated alternately in a repetitive sequence among a selected number of transducers characteristic of the particular band. By appropriately selecting band format parameters and increasing the characteristic number of transducers as a function of decreasing band radial position the track data density may be maintained within selected limits.
