20090041933 | RECORDING DRIVE WAVEFORM ADJUSTING METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MASTER DISC, MASTER DISC MANUFACTURING METHOD, MASTER DISC MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND MASTER DISC - A recording drive waveform adjusting method for manufacturing a master disc is provided. The method includes forming an exposed area in an inorganic resist layer for test exposure by irradiating a master disc having the inorganic resist layer with laser light of a recording power based on a recording drive waveform according to a test recording signal. The method also includes obtaining reflected-light information by irradiating the exposed area formed in the test exposure with laser light of a reproducing power, determining whether the recording drive waveform is appropriate by using the reflected-light information, and correcting the recording drive waveform if the recording drive waveform is determined to be inappropriate in the determination. | 02-12-2009 |
20090116005 | FINE PARTICLE MEASURING METHOD, SUBSTRATE FOR MEASUREMENT, AND MEASURING APPARATUS - A fine particle measuring method of performing optical measurement of fine particles introduced into a plurality of sample fluidic channels provided at predetermined distances on a substrate by scanning light to the sample fluidic channels is disclosed. The method includes: sequentially irradiating the light to at least two or more reference regions provided together with the sample fluidic channels; detecting a change of optical property occurring in the light due to the reference regions; and controlling timing of emission of the light to the sample fluidic channels. | 05-07-2009 |
