Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090049302System And Method For Processing Conent For Later Insertion Of Digital Watermark And Other Data - A method and system for processing content are described including generating a dummy value, inserting the dummy value into encoded content, selecting a position in the encoded content where the dummy value in the encoded content is to be replaced by a real value, generating the real value and replacing the dummy value with the real value in the encoded content.02-19-2009

20100322055OPTICAL DISC WITH PRE-RECORDED AND RECORDABLE REGIONS AND METHOD OF FORMING THE DISC - An optical disc having a region with pre-recorded data and a recordable region, a method of fabricating the disc, a stamper for forming a disc master, and a recording device for use with the disc are disclosed. Data recorded in the recordable region may be used for activation of the disc, providing unique identification or enhancing program content on the disc.12-23-2010

20090113555DVD Replications System and Method - A system and method for replicating protected content on media includes a controller for enabling replicating of media content from partial encoded content received at a location of the controller. A media recorder is coupled to the controller and including a modulation process (04-30-2009
20090122684Disc Authentication by Grayscale Image in Data Area Obtained by Modulation Rule Variation (Old Title) - The present principles provide a way to place a multilevel grayscale image, visible with the bare eye in the data area of an optical disc. This feature can be used to authenticate a legitimate disc, since the image features are lost when copying a disc either with a PC recording drive or by a pirate creating a data set to be used on a laser beam recorder to produce forged ROM discs. The modulation rules are selectively varied during disc writing in a way to change the distribution of pit/land lengths, so that the at three (3) different diffraction properties are generated, and therefore produce at least three (3) distinct looks to the bare eye.05-14-2009
20090245055DVD Replication of Encoded Content - An apparatus includes a controller for enabling replicating of media content from encoded content received, and a recorder responsive to the controller for recording content on media readable by a device other than said recorder.10-01-2009
20090274452Virtual DVD on Demand and Electronic DVD Rental/Buy/Burn - An apparatus includes a storage medium for storing downloaded encoded media content, and a decoder for decoding the stored encoded media content for a choice of one of a viewing rental of the decoded media content and recording the decoded media content to a recordable media.11-05-2009
20100002559Compatible optical recording medium - The optical recording medium has a recording layer sensitive for recording at a first wavelength and sensitive for reading at a second wavelength, the recording layer having a groove structure, wherein at the first wavelength the groove structure has a diffraction efficiency into a first diffraction order sufficiently large to generate a push-pull signal, and at the second wavelength it has a diffraction efficiency into a first diffraciton order close to zero. The optical pickup for recording on an optical recording medium intended to be read with a second wavelength and a second numerical aperture is characterized in that it has a light source for generating a light beam at a first wavelength and a numerical aperture given by the second numerical aperture multiplied with a ration of the first wavelength and the second wavelength.01-07-2010
20100188272Method and apparatus for embedding second code into optical disc data by data modulation rule variation - There are provided a method and apparatus for embedding a second level code into a first level code of an optical disc by data modulation rule variation. The apparatus includes a multi-level, varying rule based modulator (07-29-2010
