| 20090089808 | METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR EFFECTING SUPPLEMENTARY MAIL TRANSFER OR MANAGEMENT - Arrangements for permitting incoming mail to be transferred from a WAN Drive to a notebook computer hard drive under conditions that are not stressful to the hard drive. Preferably, a WAN card is configured to wake a notebook when mail capacity is full or close to full. Mail is then preferably moved from the flash drive to the hard drive, subject to verification that this will not overly stress the hard drive. In a variant embodiment, the WAN card may preferably be configured to wake a notebook when mail is received at all. Again, mail is then preferably moved from the flash drive to the hard drive, subject to verification that this will not overly stress the hard drive. Once mail is moved to the hard drive, the system preferably runs an embedded email program that allows the user to employ an existing VPN infrastructure. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20100290116 | PHASE COMPENSATOR FOR COUPLING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE INTO AN OPTICAL CONDENSER - An apparatus comprising a phase compensator and an optical condenser in communication with the phase compensator. The phase compensator provides for phase shifting a portion of an electromagnetic wave. The optical condenser is shaped to direct the electromagnetic wave to a focal region of the optical condenser. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110044147 | WRITEALE OPTICAL RECORDING OF MULTI-LEVEL ORIENTED NANO-STRUCTURE DISCS - A method of performing writable optical recording of a medium to form multilevel oriented nano-structures therein, comprises steps of providing a disc-shaped, writable recording medium having a planar surface; and encoding data/information in the medium by forming a plurality of multilevel nano-structured pits in the surface by scanning with a focused spot of optical energy to form at least one data track therein, including scanning the optical spot in a cross-track direction while rotating the disc about a central axis. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20110286127 | NEAR FIELD TRANSDUCER WITH SHAPED ENERGY RADIATING END - A magnetic recording head consists of a write pole and a near field transducer close to the write pole that focuses light energy to a focal point. A near field transducer is positioned to receive light energy from a waveguide. The near field transducer comprises an energy-receiving end and an energy-radiating end. The energy-receiving end is located near the focal point of the waveguide and the energy-radiating end is shaped such that it is narrower closer to the write pole and wider farther from the write pole. | 11-24-2011 |
