A data recording evaluation method includes a step of reproducing a result of data recording performed on an optical disk and identifying a predetermined detection pattern in a reproduction signal, a step of detecting a signal state of the reproduction signal associated with the predetermined detection pattern, and a first calculation step for calculating a first evaluation index value based on the detected signal state and a reference state identified from the predetermined detection pattern. When there is a plurality of predetermined detection patterns as described above, a second calculation step is further provided for calculating a second recording state evaluation index value using the first evaluation index value calculated from each of the predetermined detection patterns. Data recording can be properly evaluated using the first and second recording state evaluation index values. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080198731 | OPTICAL INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM - An optical information recording medium having a disk-shaped substrate formed with spiral grooves on one main surface, and having an optical reflection layer formed with grooves at the surface corresponding to the grooves of the substrate for reflecting a laser beam, an optical recording layer, a protective layer, and an optical transparency layer in this order on the main surface thereof. The optical information recording medium has a main information area and a sub-information area to the inner circumferential side thereof, in which the track pitch TrB of the grooves in the sub-information area is about 0.32 μm or less, and the depth D of the grooves and the half-band width W of the grooves satisfy a relation represented by: W≧2D+70, whereby the difference between the reflectivity at the land surface and the reflectivity at the groove surface in the sub-information area can be restricted to less than 30%, thereby preventing occurrence of mis-decipherment for BCA marks. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080196932 | MULTILAYER SUBSTRATE INCLUDING COMPONENTS THEREIN - Components having different heights are installed in a multilayer substrate using a metal core layer formed by bonding a plurality of metal layers. The metal core layer includes through-holes and a spot-faced portion. Passive components and an active component are disposed in the through-holes and the spot-faced portion, respectively. These components are connected to conductive patterns formed on wiring layers, with connecting vias therebetween. Contact faces of each component with the connecting vias are controlled so as to be disposed at the same level with the metal layers. | 08-21-2008 |
