    摘要: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method and an apparatus for manufacturing an analogue audio storage medium wherein digital audio data is converted into topographical data representing an analogue translation of the digital audio data, and a laser beam is selectively applied to a substrate to form a physical imprint of the topographical data on the surface of the substrate to create an analogue audio storage medium. The medium may be directly playable on a conventional playback device such as a record player and/or used to mould further playable mediums. The invention thereby enables more efficient manufacturing of e.g. vinyl records and consistently ensures a much higher quality of analogue audio.

    摘要: A device for manufacturing an n-layered optical information carrier having an injection molding unit for manufacturing a carrier body with a first information layer, and furthermore, a first embossing unit for manufacturing a second information layer. The second information layer has an input via which information carriers can be received in the embossing unit. The embossing unit moreover has an output unit via which the coated information carriers are output. (n−2) additional embossing units are associated with the device, for manufacturing in each case an additional information layer, wherein “n” is greater than two. The respective units are linked to one another so that the n-layered information carrier is manufactured in an inline manufacturing. The (n−2) additional embossing units can be coupled to and uncoupled from the device, wherein the additional embossing units in each case have an input and an output unit.

    摘要: A substrate processing method includes a first discharge step of discharging, from the first discharge port which faces a predetermined first region including the rotating center of the upper surface, a low surface tension liquid containing gas containing steam of a low surface tension liquid having a larger specific gravity than air and lower surface tension than the processing liquid and not discharging the low surface tension liquid containing gas from the second discharge port which faces a predetermined second region surrounding the outside of the first region on the upper surface of the substrate, and a second discharge step of discharging the low surface tension liquid containing gas from the second discharge port after the first discharge step and not discharging the low surface tension liquid containing gas from the first discharge port.

    摘要: A method is provided for making stamper plates for an embossing drum for embossing tape media. At least one first stamper plate is formed using a master template. The at least one first stamper plate includes first land and groove patterns that are an inverse of the master template land and groove patterns. At least one second stamper plate is formed from the at least one first stamper plate. The at least one second stamper plate includes second land and groove patterns that are an inverse of the first land and groove patterns. Furthermore, the first stamper plates and the second stamper plates have four sections arranged in a travel direction of the tape media, a first and a fourth of the four sections having land and groove patterns that are laterally mirrored with respect to each other. A first stamper plate is coupled to a second stamper plate to form part of the drum for embossing tape media.
