Abstract:
According to one aspect a method for manufacturing a holographic storage medium includes providing one or more data masks (122) with data to be recorded, illuminating the one or more data masks onto the medium with a plane wave object beam (116) from a laser light source (110) operating at a record wavelength, propagating a reference beam (114) at an incident angle to the medium (124) to record the one or more data masks on the medium, and altering the incident angle of the reference beam for each of the one or more data masks, wherein each of the one or more data masks recorded on said medium can be read bit by bit using a laser light source operating in a readout range of wavelengths different from the record wavelength.

Abstract:
Antennas are provided for electronic devices such as portable computers. An electronic device may have a housing in which an antenna is mounted. The housing may be formed of conductive materials. A dielectric antenna window may be mounted in the housing to allow radio- frequency signals to be transmitted from the antenna and to allow the antenna to receive radio-frequency signals. Near-field radiation limits may be satisfied by reducing transmit power when an external object is detected in the vicinity of the dielectric antenna window and the antenna. A proximity sensor may be used in detecting external objects. A parasitic antenna resonating element may be interposed between the antenna resonating element and the dielectric antenna window to minimize near-field radiation hotspots. The parasitic antenna resonating element may be formed using a capacitor electrode for the proximity sensor. A ferrite layer may be interposed between the parasitic element and the antenna window.

A capacitance-to-digital converter may be coupled to the proximity sensor by inductors. The capacitive proximity sensor may be interposed between an antenna resonating element and the antenna window. The capacitive proximity sensor may serve as a parasitic antenna resonating element and may be coupled to the housing by a capacitor.
