Glossary 
Axial acceleration 
Acceleration in the recording layer along the line perpendicular to the disk 
reference surface at a specified rotation speed.  Axial acceleration is detected by 
optical means.  
Axial displacement 
A displacement at a point in the recording layer in a direction perpendicular to the 
disk reference surface from its standard position.  The standard position in the 
recording layer is detected optically using the thickness and refraction rate of the 
protective layer, based on the disk reference surface. 
Case 
A cover of an optical disk.  The case protects the disk from being damaged during 
handling and also allows the operator to replace disks easily.  The case also 
provides for a label, write protection tab, automatic handling support, and media 
identification hole.   
CDB (Command Descriptor Block) 
A series of data describing input-output commands.  The CDB is sent from the 
initiator to the target. 
Clamp area 
A disk ring area on which the clamp mechanism applies a clamp force. 
Command 
An input-output instruction to the target.  Described as CDB.  
Control track 
A track used to store media parameters and format information required to record 
and read data to or from an optical disk.  
Defect management 
In real time processing mode, defect management refers to an automatic program 
used to change the power, focus, tracking of reading and recording if an error is 
detected and used to decide whether numerous error sectors should be discarded.  
In batch mode, defect management refers to a guideline used to re-record or save 
data in a disk.
