摘要:
A digital electronic camera includes a holographic medium, an imaging array disposed at a focal plane for converting optical information to digital information; and an optical system configured to store the digital information onto the holographic medium. An optical system for retrieving images stored in the medium may be provided inside the camera or as a separate appliance.

Digital data bits are stored as discrete-level reflection microholograms in a multi-depth digital optical data storage system. Reference and signal beams are incident in a counterpropagating geometry on opposite faces of a tape. The reflection microholograms are stored at the coinciding focus of the reference and signal beams. The holograms are stored at the diffraction limit of high-N.A. optics, and have relatively high grating frequencies and small sizes. Dynamic aberration compensators correct for the depth-varying spherical aberration imparted to the beams by the medium. Multiple mutually-incoherent lasers are used for parallel storage and retrieval to increase data transfer rates. Achievable densities and signal-to-noise ratios are substantially higher than for index-perturbation or transmission hologram storage methods.

A video image F�k! is identified as a basis image and stored as a basis page S�k! in a holographic storage medium. A subsequent image F�k+n! is stored by recording in the medium a page S�k+n!=F�k+n!-a�k!F�k!, where a�k!.noteq.0 and preferably a�k!=1. The page S�k! is recorded with a reference beam R�k!, while S�k+n! is recorded with a reference beam R�k+n! orthogonal to R�k!. The basis page is reset whenever the average intensity of a page to be stored exceeds a predetermined threshold. An image F'�k! is retrieved by reading basis page S�k! and letting F'�k!=S�k!. Subsequent images F'�k+n! are retrieved as S�k+n!+b�k!S�k!, where b�k!.noteq.0 and preferably b�k!=a�k!=1. The page addition step is performed coherently, i.e. by accessing the medium with a reference wave function R�k+n!+b�k!R�k!. The coherent addition is achieved by using a compound phase-and-amplitude modulator in a phase-code-multiplexed system, and by simultaneously accessing the storage medium at two different angles in an angle-multiplexed system. Differential video compression leads to a reduction in interpage crosstalk and to a capacity increase in crosstalk-limited memories. Optical page-by-page addition allows fast readout and eliminates the need for a time-consuming electronic decompression step.
摘要翻译:视频图像F [k]被识别为基础图像并作为基本页S [k]存储在全息存储介质中。 通过在介质中记录S [k + n] = F [k + n] -a [k] F [k]来存储后续图像F [k + n],其中a [k] a [k] = 1。 以参考光束R [k]记录页S [k],而用与R [k]正交的参考光束R [k + n]记录S [k + n]。 每当要存储的页面的平均强度超过预定阈值时,基页被重置。 通过读取基本页S [k]并使F'[k] = S [k]来检索图像F'[k]。 随后的图像F'[k + n]被检索为S [k + n] + b [k] S [k],其中b [k] NOTEQUAL 0并且优选地b [k] = a [k] = 1。 相干地执行页面添加步骤,即通过访问具有参考波函数R [k + n] + b [k] R [k]的介质。 通过在相位码复用系统中使用复合相位和幅度调制器,并且在角度多路复用系统中以两个不同的角度同时访问存储介质来实现相干相加。 差分视频压缩导致分组串扰的减少和串扰限制存储器的容量增加。 光学逐页添加允许快速读出,并且不需要耗时的电子减压步骤。

A photorefractive crystallyte array for image recording and signal processing is disclosed. The photorefractive crystallytes are configured as a two-dimensional array of selected position and spacing designed, for example, to coincide with the spatial frequency components of an associated optical image, such as a Fourier transform image, and to permit optical signal processing.

The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) for content that may be downloaded and securely transferred from one storage to another storage. The storage may be a disk drive, or network attached storage. The storage performs cryptographic operations and provides a root of trust. The DRM system enables secure copying or transfer of content from one storage device to another storage device. In this embodiment, a trusted server that is authenticated and trusted by both storage devices brokers the transfer of content. The trusted server may be a separate entity of the DRM system or may be a component or function of an existing server of the DRM system. In another embodiment, the storage devices may transfer content in a peer-to-peer fashion. The transfer of content may be authorized and controlled based on a digital certificate associated with the content.

Applications, systems and methods for efficiently accessing and controlling data of devices among multiple computers over a network. Communication of data over one or more networks may be managed by means of one or more connection servers which may also manage any or all of authentication, authorization, security, encryption and point-to-multipoint communications functionalities. Alternatively, computers may be connected over a wide area network without a connection server, and with or without a VPN. In any case, file structure integrating means are configured to integrate a file structure of accessible files accessed at a second or first computer, into a file structure contained at the first or second computer, respectively.

摘要:
The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) for content that downloaded and saved to a storage device. The storage may be a disk drive, or network attached storage. In addition, the storage device performs cryptographic operations and provides a root of trust. The DRM employs a binding key, a content key, and an access key. The binding key binds the content to a specific storage and is based on a key that is concealed on the storage. The binding key is not stored on the storage device with the content. The content key is a key that has been assigned to the content. The access key is determined based on a cryptographic combination of the content key and the binding key. In one embodiment, the content is provisioned based on the access key and stored in encrypted form in the storage device.
