Objects having a substrate and an oxygenated gas infused coating layer are disclosed. The coating layer provides enhanced physical durability, chemical resistance, optical transparency, and ablatability as compared to conventional coatings.
摘要:
Optical information media containing a metal material layer and a carbon material layer are disclosed. The layering of the metal material layer and the carbon material layer are designed to reduce or eliminate problems associated with oxidation and berm formation during writing of data to the media.
摘要:
Optical information media having a support substrate and an inorganic nanomaterial data layer are disclosed. The data layer provides enhanced stability and optical performance as compared to conventional data layers.
摘要:
Optical information media that contain a data layer material that is substantially inert to oxidation and has a defined melting point range are disclosed. The inertness to oxidation and melting point range make the media particularly attractive for long-term information storage.

摘要:
A permanent solid state memory device is disclosed. Recording data in the permanent solid state memory device forms voids in a data layer between a first wire array and a second wire array. Wires of the first wire array extend transversely to wires in the second wire array. The data layer is at least partially conductive such that a voltage applied between a selected first wire in the first wire array and a selected second wire in the second wire array creates a heating current through the data layer at a data point between the first wire and the second wire. The heating current causes a data layer material to melt and recede to form a permanent void. Control elements are operably connected to apply voltages to predetermined combinations of wires to form permanent voids at data points throughout the solid state memory device.

摘要:
An optical tape data storage is disclosed. An optical tape includes a substrate in a linear thin film shape and a recording layer deposited on the substrate. An irreversible optically detectable change is formed in the recording layer upon application of energy to the recording layer such that data is recorded on the recording layer by forming optically detectable changes. The recording layer may comprise a metal, a metal alloy, a metal oxide, a metalloid, or any combination thereof. The optical tape may further include an adhesion promotion layer for improving adhesion of the recording layer and the substrate, a reflective layer for providing optical contrast to an adjacent layer, and/or an absorptive layer positioned adjacent to the recording layer to absorb ablatable material not entirely ablated during ablation.
