| 20080320205 | LONG-TERM DIGITAL DATA STORAGE - Embodiments are directed to recording digital data on an optically ablatable digital storage media. In one embodiment, a device configured to ablate portions of ablatable material on an optically ablatable digital storage media receives digital data that is to be recorded on a recording layer of an optically ablatable digital storage media. The recording layer is formed on a substrate with zero or more intervening layers between the recording layer and the substrate. The recording layer includes ablatable material capable of storing digital data. The device ablates the ablatable material in the recording layer according to a sequence defined by the received digital data such that the ablated portions correspond to data points of the received digital data. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20100068444 | DATA STORAGE CONTAINING CARBON AND METAL LAYERS - Optical information media containing a metal material layer and a carbon material layer are disclosed. The layering of the metal material layer and the carbon material layer are designed to reduce or eliminate problems associated with oxidation and berm formation during writing of data to the media. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100068445 | Optical Data Media Containing An Ultraviolet Protection Layer - Optical information media containing an ultraviolet protection layer are described. The protection layer will reduce or eliminate damage to the media's data layer and substrate. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100068529 | FILMS CONTAINING AN INFUSED OXYGENATED AS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION - Objects having a substrate and an oxygenated gas infused coating layer are disclosed. The coating layer provides enhanced physical durability, chemical resistance, optical transparency, and ablatability as compared to conventional coatings. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100103795 | DATA STORAGE MEDIA CONTAINING INORGANIC NANOMATERIAL DATA LAYER - Optical information media having a support substrate and an inorganic nanomaterial data layer are disclosed. The data layer provides enhanced stability and optical performance as compared to conventional data layers. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100135147 | HIGH POWER OPTICAL DISC DRIVES - High power optical disc drives are disclosed. The drives are configured to deliver laser energy having a power of at least about 25 mW as measured at DVD 1X write speed upon first contact with the surface of an optical disc. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100182894 | OPTICAL DATA STORAGE MEDIA CONTAINING AN ENCAPSULATED DATA LAYER - Optical information media containing encapsulated data layers are disclosed. Selective layering of materials in inner radial, middle radial, and outer radial zones allows for the faces and edges of at least the data layers to be encapsulated by other materials, resulting in increased resistance to harmful environmental agents such as oxygen and moisture. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100195468 | OPTICAL DATA STORAGE MEDIA CONTAINING METAL AND METAL OXIDE DARK LAYER STRUCTURE - Optical data storage media containing a “dark” layer structure are disclosed. Layered metals and metal oxides provide a dark background that enhances detection of changes in the data layer of the storage media. Combinations such as chromium metal and chromium oxide, and molybdenum metal and molybdenum oxide are offered as examples of suitable materials. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100221481 | OPTICAL DATA STORAGE MEDIA CONTAINING SUBSTANTIALLY INERT LOW MELTING TEMPERATURE DATA LAYER - Optical information media that contain a data layer material that is substantially inert to oxidation and has a defined melting point range are disclosed. The inertness to oxidation and melting point range make the media particularly attractive for long-term information storage. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100246358 | OPTICAL DATA STORAGE MEDIA HAVING HIGH PRESSURE-AT-BREAK STRENGTH - Optical information media having high pressure-at-break values, and methods for determining pressure-at-break values are disclosed. The media have high structural integrities, and are designed to confer greater resistance to delamination forces as compared to conventional optical information media. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110080819 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RELIABILITY TESTING OF OPTICAL MEDIA USING SIMULTANEOUS HEAT, HUMIDITY, AND LIGHT - Methods and systems for the rapid evaluation of optical media reliability are disclosed. Simultaneous exposure of optical media to heat, humidity, and light has been found to be an effective test to differentiate more stable media from less stable media in a reasonable amount of time. | 04-07-2011 |
