Title: Kenichi Yamakura: Innovator in Signal Processing Technology
Introduction
Kenichi Yamakura is a notable inventor based in Kasugai, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of signal processing, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of data processing technologies.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a signal processor having feedback loop control for a decision feedback equalizer. This innovative signal processor is designed to process an analog read signal representing data stored on a magnetic disk. It allows for a faster read operation without requiring an increase in circuit area or buffer memory space. The processor includes a decision feedback equalizer that selectively provides a feedback signal added to a read signal during data reproduction from a storage medium. Additionally, it performs error correction by detecting the load of the error correcting process and adjusting the processing speed accordingly.
Another significant patent is for a recording-medium operating device and a clock signal generating device. This invention aims to provide a device that operates with a wide-range data transfer rate while maintaining high correction accuracy and low power consumption. The device utilizes a phase-locked loop (PLL) to obtain a reference clock group, which is then selected and processed to minimize the phase difference between the clock signal and an RF signal.
