Appeal No. 1997-4446
Application No. 08/278,151
value of said relative position error signal approaches zero
by closed loop control according to said detected relative
position error signal;
storage means for temporarily storing the control signal;
and
driving control means for driving another actuator out of
said plurality of actuators according to said stored control
signal, for tracking another head, operatively associated with
said another actuator, along a track.
25. A method for controlling the tracking of a plurality
of heads in a recording/reproduction apparatus, comprising the
steps of:
(a) providing relative movement between a first head and
a first data track;
(b) detecting a relative position error signal of the
first head with respect to the first data track;
(c) generating a control signal for altering the
position of the first head so that the value of the relative
position error signal approaches zero;
(d) temporarily storing the control signal for later use
in controlling a position of a second head;
(e) controlling the position of the second head in
accordance with the stored control signal.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
