| 20090016205 | Optical Recording Medium and Method for Reproducing Information From Optical Recording Medium - An optical recording medium includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, a recording layer, a second dielectric layer, a super-resolution layer, and a third dielectric layer, which are provided in that order. The super-resolution layer is formed of a material configured such that voids are generated when the material is irradiated with DC light at a predetermined irradiation power for 1 to 300 seconds. Therefore, super-resolution reproduction can be made such that the irradiation power of a readout laser beam does not depend on the size of a recording mark. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100034566 | LIGHT ABSORBENT MEMBER, HEATING DEVICE, FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EMPLOYING THE SAME - Disclosed are a novel light absorptive member, a heating device employing such light absorptive member, a fixing device employing such heating device and an image forming apparatus that uses the fixing device. The light absorptive member includes nano-rods dispersed therein, and can increase absorption efficiency of a heating device, such as, for example, a fixing device that uses a light source as a radiant heat source, due to the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon that occurs when the wavelength(s) of the light corresponds the peak wavelength(s) of the absorptive rate for the light based on the aspect ratio(s) of the nano-rods. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100111580 | LIGHT ABSORPTION DEVICE, FIXING UNIT COMPRISING THE LIGHT ABSORPTION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS COMPRISING THE FIXING UNIT - Disclosed are a light absorption device, a fixing unit including the same and an image forming apparatus including such fixing unit. The light absorption device includes a plurality of dielectric layers containing nano-rods. Surface plasmon resonance generated in response to certain wavelengths corresponding to the dielectric constants of the dielectric layers can result in an improvement in the light absorption efficiency. Further improvements can be realized by adjusting the dielectric constants of the dielectric layers. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100129125 | LIGHT-ABSORPTIVE DEVICE, FIXING UNIT USING THE LIGHT-ABSORPTIVE DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A light-absorptive device for absorbing light includes a light source configured to emit light and a light-absorptive element configured to absorb the light emitted from the source. The light-absorptive element includes a light-absorptive layer in which a nano-component comprised of one or more nano particles coated with a shape keeping agent is dispersed. The aspect ratio(s) and/or the dielectric constant of the light-absorptive layer may be selectively varied to realize a peak wavelength of absorption spectrum that corresponds to the wavelength(s) of the light emitted by the light source. The light-absorptive device may be incorporated as a heating unit, such as a fixing unit of an image forming apparatus to fix toner images on to a recording medium. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100157306 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE - Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for detecting a surface plasmon resonance. The apparatus may radiate a polarized beam of light to a device, such as a surface plasmon resonance generator, and may measure variations in a temperature of the device to detect whether a surface plasmon resonance has occurred. The detection of a surface plasmon resonance may be associated with the presence of a particular material such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or materials disrupting ozone, for example. | 06-24-2010 |
