Abstract:
A method of forming a radiation imageable coating includes preparing a radiation-curable polymer matrix including an acidic activator species, forming a leuco-dye phase, distributing the leuco-dye phase in the polymer matrix, evaluating a power level of an targeted radiation source, and if the power level of the targeted radiation source is less than approximately 1 watt/cm2, sensitizing the radiation imageable coating with a sensitizing agent corresponding to the targeted radiation source.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for checking the quality of a recording on a disk intended to be read with a first wavelength and intended to be recorded with a second wavelength, directly with the second wavelength used by the recording system. According to the invention, the method uses a modified jitter definition when a jitter value of recorded information is measured using light of the first wavelength. A special equalizer takes account of a required asymmetry.
Abstract:
A method comprising controlling recording of data on an optical record carrier based on the detection of at least one defect on the optical record carrier at a moment in time before actual recording of the data on the optical record carrier is disclosed. The method can perform an early detection of defects during recording and take suitable corrective measures to handle the defects. This can reduce the recording problems such as loss of data, unable to read recorded information. The technique is useful for all optical disc recording devices such as CD, DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc recorders.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a self aligning optical printing system, comprising: an electromagnetic energy beam source (302, 304, 306) capable of emitting a plurality of electromagnetic energy beams (314, 316, 318) of differing wavelengths; a plurality of lenses 206 located substantially adjacent to each other such that each of the plurality of electromagnetic energy beams (314, 316, 318) interacts with one of the plurality of lenses 206 to self align the plurality of electromagnetic energy beams with respect to each other; and a multi-wavelength media 102 located adjacent to the plurality of lenses 206 such that the plurality of self aligned electromagnetic energy beams interacts with the media 102.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical storage medium (20) comprising a first data area (21) for storing content and a second data area (23) for storing limitation data (24) for limiting access to at least a portion of the first data area. It is desired that the period of time for which access to content stored on the storage medium is limited, such that, for instance, after said period of time unlimited access to said content is granted. To achieve this a state change means (27) is provided on the storage medium, adapted for changing its optical reflectivity and/or transmittance over time, said change directly preventing access to the second data area after a limited period of time or being indirectly used to decide whether access to the at least one portion of the first data area shall be limited according to said limitation data.
Abstract:
A method comprising: writing data on a disc (12) with a first laser (30, 330); and writing a label on the disc (12) with a second laser (40, 340) while the data is being written.
Abstract:
A method (800) for locating a labelable region (106) on a surface (102) of an optical storage medium (100) including an unlabelable region (104). A laser beam (224) is impinged onto a location (120) on the surface (102) without marking the location (120). Laser energy reflected from the location (120) is detected. Based on the reflected laser energy, it is determined whether the location (120) is in a labelable region (106) markable by the laser energy or an unlabelable region (104) not markable by the laser energy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reading apparatus and to a corresponding reading method for reading data from, and detecting cracks in, an optical record carrier (10). To achieve that a crack in the optical record carrier can be detected with a high reliability so that appropriate measures can be taken, the apparatus comprises a reading unit (14, 15) for reading data from said record carrier by use of a radiation beam and for generating a data signal (RF), a servo error detection unit (16) for tracking a data track on the record carrier and for generating a tracking error signal (TE) and a focus error signal (FE), a control unit (19) for controlling the axial and radial positions of the read-out spot on the record carrier by use of a focus control signal (FA) and a radial control signal (RA), and a crack detection unit (21) for determining whether there is a crack in the record carrier by checking whether the focus error signal (FE) and/or the tracking error signal (TE) show a significant peak, and whether the focus control signal (FA) and/or the radial control signal (RA) show a significant step change.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium for calibration of a lens position in an optical disc drive (100). In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises manipulating a lens focus actuator (153) to relocate the lens (156) from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2). The lens (156) substantially focuses a laser onto the surface of the optical disc (136) when in the second position (P2). The method also comprises determining a first input setting delta to the lens focus actuator (153) that corresponds to a predefined position offset (O) of the lens (156). The first input setting delta is determined based upon a second input setting delta corresponding to a distance between the first position (P1) and the second position (P2).
