摘要:
A self-contained, multi-axis recordable and storage apparatus includes an external frame, a hinged component pivotally attached to the frame by a shaft or ball joint, and/or an internal component. The apparatus provides a self-contained, multi-axis recordable and storage apparatus which will universally adapt to all existing reading or writing devices. The apparatus will accept existing recorded medium, analog or digital, and allow the whole apparatus assembly with its protective cover and container to be inserted into playing, reading, or writing devices.

Methods and apparatus are provided for making an optically readable media (20) unreadable. The method includes steps of (a) providing the media (20) with an optically activated mechanism that degrades the reflectivity of a surface wherein information is encoded; (b) exposing the media (20) to optical radiation for reading out the information; and, during the step of exposing, (c) initiating the operation of the optically activated mechanism. In a further aspect the optically activated mechanism causes a defocusing of a readout beam, thereby degrading reflection of the readout beam from a surface wherein information is encoded. In another embodiment the method deforms a surface of the layer resulting in readout beam aberration or in an inability to correctly stay on track. In another embodiment a portion of the surface is removed to the atmosphere, such as by evaporation or sublimation.

Systems and methods are described for inhibiting the readability of an optical storage media (200) due to changes in a pseudo-reflective material (220) that composes the optical media (200) after the optical media (200) has been exposed to air for a predetermined time. An optical media (200) includes a data encoded element (220). At least a fraction of the data transforms from a substantially optically reflective state to a substantially optically non-reflective state as at least in part a function of time from an initializing event. The systems and methods provide advantages because of low cost, limited content lifetime, avoidance of rental returns and minimum changes to existing manufacturing processes.
摘要:
A method for fabricating read-only copy protected optical medium comprising: a substrate (54) having information pits (18) and lands (16) thereon and a light sensitive material (56) placed at a position capable of altering the data reading during copying of the optical medium but permitting read of the underlying data in the reading of the optical medium.

A removable cartridge (10, 20) having a magnetic disk (40) configured to reduce particulate contamination of the magnetic disk, the removable cartridge includes a top cartridge shell (60) and means (30) coupled to the top cartridge shell configured to reduce the particulate contamination of the magnetic disk, the means including a filtering material (31) and means configured to urge the filtering material to be in sliding contact with the magnetic disk while the magnetic disk is rotating at less than the operation speed.
摘要:
A method and a device for manufacturing an information carrier of synthetic material having a laminated structure, in which a transparent carrier (2) is provided away from the mould with a resin layer (10-12) and is then brought to a position opposite a mould with its resin layer facing the mould, after which the carrier is pressed against the mould (21) progressively from a boundary surface of the carrier by means of one or more rollers (24) and at least the part of the carrier located directly behind the roller or rollers is exposed (22) for curing the resin layer, the carrier with the cured resin layer being subsequently removed from the mould and further transported.
