This paper is aimed to propose a new wavelet audio signal coding scheme which reduces the complexity of well-known MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)-Audio. The filters of MPEG0audio apply subband technique on the 16-bits PCM audio to aquire bitstream of subband sample using dynamic bit allocation. If we use the wavelet coefficients instead of subband samples and 6 bands which is less than 32 bands of MPEG-audio, the complexity can be reduced. A new audio signal compression algorithm in this paper is based on wavelet transform and the proposed algorithm is compared with MPEG-audio. At the bitrate of 256kbps, the proposed algorithm maintains the CD(Compact-disc) quality. We were able to reduce the about 40% of complexity at encoder and about 70% at decoder.

The 3rd generation optical pick-up used popularly in resent years is composed of many optical and electronic components such as laser diode, photo diode, beam splitter, objective lens, grating lens, concave lens, collimator lens etc. Therefore, the design of its optical system and its main base which the said optical and electronic components are set on, is complicated and needs high precision. Its assembly and adjustment in the production line is also difficult. This complication and the demand of high precision get its production cost to be high and its reliability to be low. In this paper, the 4th generation optical pick-up is designed and developed, with the hologram device which laser diode. photo diode, beam splitter. and grating lens are integrated in. This optical pick-up reduces the number of points of adjustment by 3, compared with the 3rd generation optical pick-up of which the number of points of adjustment is 6. This optical pickup also decreases by 4 the number of points of W bonding to have bad influence on environmental reliability, decreases by about 10 the number of parts, and establishes about 20% cost-down of material cost, compared with the 3rd generation optical pick-up.

As the rotational speed and the track density are increased, the vibration of disk/spindle system becomes critical issue. In this work, we propose a simple inclined air bearing(20mm${\times}$20mm) system which is positioned very near to the rotating disk especially compact disc(CD) as a flexible disk, and we investigate suppressing effect about disk mode (0,0) both experimentally and numerically. We find dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients of bearing and apply to the disk vibration. The results show about 10 percent errors comparing to the experimental results. Also we investigate experimentally the reduction of disk vibration and power consumption with two different kinds of inclined bearing for normal disk drive system, which has tray and cover. We find inclined air bearing can decrease about 30 percents of the original disk vibration amplitude.

A special purpose automated storage and retrieval system is developed in which information media such as compact disc or video tapes can be stored. Hardware system includes rack, stacker crane with robot arm, conveyor, and bar code reader. Software system includes database for address management, user interface for quick scanning of information media by displaying moving image, and algorithms for selecting the closest open location. Such system is widely applicable to CD library or broadcasting station in the forthcoming information age. In this paper we present detailed procedure and tools that are used in designing and implementing such a special AS/R system.

We proposed a new and cost-effective method fer assembling holographic pickup modules without any high resolution vision system. Assembling was accomplished by adjusting photodiode package only, leading to a low cost, holographic pickup module. Focus and tracking error signals were simply determined by comparing spot sizes and by using the 3 beam method, respectively, based on four-sectional holographic optical elements. In experiment, we assembled a hologram module and estimated performance of the proposed method fur a holographic pickup module used in compact disc system.
