| 20110120125 | Locating Mechanism for Turbocharger Bearing - An exemplary semi-floating bearing for a turbocharger has a central axis defining a cylindrical coordinate system with an axial direction, a radial direction and an angular direction; a turbine end; a compressor end; journal surfaces between the turbine end and the compressor end, the surfaces configured to support a turbocharger shaft; and an opening disposed between the turbine end and the compressor end, the opening having a radial dimension that exceeds an axial dimension to, upon receipt of a locating pin, provide for movement of the bearing in the angular direction about its central axis and to provide for lesser movement of the bearing in the axial direction. Other exemplary bearings, arrangements and methods are also disclosed. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100092717 | OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM BASED ON A TELLURIUM AND ZINC ALLOY - The optical recording medium comprises an active layer made of inorganic material, presenting a front face for receiving an optical radiation during writing operations, and a rear face. The inorganic material is a tellurium and zinc alloy comprising an atomic percentage of between 60% and 70% of zinc and between 30% and 40% of tellurium. The alloy comprises preferably 65% of zinc and 35% of tellurium. The medium may comprise a semi-reflecting layer arranged on the front face of the active layer and/or an additional metal layer arranged on the rear face and/or a protective layer of polymer material on the rear face. Thus, writing powers, a mark resolution and a storage density corresponding to DVD format specifications may be achieved. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110075531 | Super-Resolution Optical Disc Reader and Read Method Optimized Through Reflectivity Measurement - The invention relates to the field of the optical recording of information on a medium, such as an optical disc. To read an optical disc in super-resolution mode, a procedure for optimizing the power of the read laser beam is implemented. This optimization is based on the observation that a correlation exists between the power allowing the disc to be read without risk in super-resolution mode and the reflectivity of the sensitive layer containing the information. The reflectivity of the optical disc is measured for several power levels of the read laser, a critical power is determined on the basis of the reflectivity measurements made, and a read power sufficiently above the critical power, so as to be well outside a range of power levels entailing risks, is selected according to the critical power. | 03-31-2011 |
