Abstract
A location within a cycle is determined by reading a portion of a cyclic bit sequence, the bit sequence containing several interspersed bit-group sets that each contain a plurality of series that each consist of several consecutively-placed identical bit-groups. On a data surface in a disc drive, each bit group can be stored and accessed in unused bits of each servo sector's digital portion.
