TLDR
A few new modulation codes in digital magnetic recording is presented and one of the new codes shows the highest linear density limit among the existing codes and is improved over, for example, MFM and 4/5-rate-NRZI codes by about 20% to 30% in the density limit for the channel.
Abstract
A few new modulation codes(or run-length-limited codes) in digital magnetic recording is presented. Linear density limits of the new codes and the existing codes are evaluated for a typical recording channel. One of the new codes shows the highest linear density limit among the existing codes and is improved over, for example, MFM and 4/5-rate-NRZI codes by about 20% to 30% in the density limit for the channel. A method for constructing the new codes is presented.

Byte oriented dc balanced (0,4) 8b/10b partitioned block transmission code

TL;DR: In this paper, a binary DC balanced code and an encoder circuit for effecting same is described, which translates an 8 bit byte of information into 10 binary digits for transmission over electromagnetic or optical transmission lines subject to timing and low frequency constraints.

Adaptive Coding for Self-Clocking Recording

TL;DR: This paper describes a coding method which improves code efficiency while maintaining the constraint on the length of zero strings and shows that adaptive coding, which is an extension of the block code concept known from information theory, offers a significant improvement.

A coding method in digital magnetic recording

TL;DR: The last coding method is called "modified nonreturn to zero inverted" (MNRZI), and the recording density limit was obtained for each method from measurement of the peak shift and signal to noise ratio for a given recording channel.
