Matsushita develops 100-Gbyte optical video disk
By Yoshiko Hara
EE Times(10/26/01, 9:38 a.m. EST)
TOKYO -- A dual-layer rewritable optical-disk technology has been developed by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., one of the main technology leaders in digital video disks. Using a set of violet lasers with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.85 and a 0.1-mm cover layer, the company has developed disks that have a capacity of 50 Gbytes per side, which allows the recording of more than four hours of high-definition programs, two hours per side.
Matsushita plans to present the technology Friday (Oct. 19) at the International Symposium on Optical Memory in Taipei, Taiwan.
Matsushita's announcement follows Hitachi Ltd.'s recent development of an optical pickup that aims for a capacity of 100 Gbytes per disk. Hitachi used the same numerical-aperture and cover-layer parameters as Matsushita.
This set of parameters was first used in the DVR-Blue disk recording system developed by Sony Corp. and Philips Electronics and demonstrated at last year's Ceatec, the largest electronics show in Japan. The departure from the current DVD format, however, was looked on with disapproval.
"It's not desirable for the industry to have split formats. The basic disk structure is almost the same as the one that Sony proposed. When a disk has a single layer, it would be quite similar to Sony's. We hope such a resemblance will work favorably to establish a unified format," said Shin-ichi Tanaka, director of Matsushita's optical-disk systems development center.
The numerical aperture controls these parameters, said engineers. To develop a high-capacity disk using a current optical system and a laser with a wavelength of about 400 nanometers, a large NA is essential, and 0.85 is within practical reach.
Desirable standard
"Even if we stick to the same 0.6-mm-thick-per-side disk as DVD disks, it does not guarantee compatibility with DVDs. If a blue or violet laser is used, it becomes difficult to read current DVD dual-layer disks anyway," said Tanaka. "Of course, compatibility with the present DVD format is important, and we will guarantee the compatibility. But for the next-generation disk system, it should be desirable to standardize its format based on an NA of 0.85 and a 0.1-mm-thick cover layer."
The DVD Forum, which works on standards, has not made a decision about the next-generation disk system. "Lasers are not available from Nichia Corp. unless we enter into a nondisclosure agreement," said an engineer close to the DVD Forum. "We cannot discuss the format openly with a nondisclosure contract. In fact, light source availability is a hindrance to standardization work."
The 120-mm-diameter optical disk is a phase-change disk with dual recording layers on one side. With each layer having a 25-Gbyte rewrite capacity, a single-sided disk would have a 50-Gbyte capacity, and a doubled-sided disk would hold 100 Gbytes.
The layer closer to the laser is half-transparent. Matsushita engineers made the recording layer 6-nm thick to increase the transparency to 50 percent. Conventional dual-layer disks have a transparency of about 16 percent.
The second layer, which is about 30 microns away from the first, is 12-nm thick and has increased sensitivity. A backing layer made of aluminum works as a heat sink. The distance between the recording layer and the aluminum layer is extended to maintain heat for writing and reading operations.
Matsushita demonstrated the disk system using its home-grown second-harmonic-generation laser, which emits a 410-nm wavelength and outputs 30 milliwatts. The disk can record and play back at a data transfer rate of 33 Mbits/second, three times faster than conventional DVDs.
When recorded at 25 Mbits/s, the disk can store more than four hours of high-definition moving pictures.
The dual-layer disk is made with a process similar to the one used for current DVD two-layer disks. When both sides have two layers, the disk will have four recording layers totaling 100 Gbytes.
Your answer is real good, good enough to make me think, to bad you posted as AC otherwise more people could see your post.
>>However, if a web site owner restricts viewing based on browser type, Microsoft is not complicit in its behavior.
>>Unless you are a zealot, its not important how much Microsoft makes or whether they obtain a legal monopoly. If Microsoft restricts your ability to choose, or improperly drives competitors from the market its a crime. Otherwise its just simple economics.
I found one problem with your statement "If Microsoft restricts your ability to choose". I think there is a small problem. The content on the M$ site is theirs (or under licsense). How they give that information out or let you view it is their choice. If I'm right the only place that you may have the "browser choice" might be in the upgrade sections.
Also I would not be surprised to find, that in the current M$ click agreements, that it states you must use IE in order to upgrade. ( the logic is for tracking the software )
Well I'm not a skilled programmer, but I made a small site that had 6000+ hard coded html pages for a pal. it worked on every browser and did what the design spec's said. again nothing fancy but the site works well ( I got the average page size to 2.36k ). By the way, Ninenine, your site is very nice.
But the sad point is: Revenue generated off of a web site. Since M$ is willing to prevent ( and this will grow ) Non-M$ from viewing their content, the current content viewer becomes more valueable, and if you are from the Non-M$ side your conversion to M$ is more revenue for them.
>>main goal for them was to get them off their site as quickly as possible.
This makes perfect sense to me. I'm not a tech head but I think that when a person communicates to a web site there is a thread ( or a process ) kept open for new request. so if they get them off quickly, you ( in theory ) have less threads (or a process) running.
your information run a long the something I read a while back, about the server configurations that google uses. 2 controller cards for a total of 2 (or 4 I can not recall) hard drives. This configuration will let you increase the I/O reads and keep cpu i/o lower.
Gee, your going to make me pick up some old magazines to look at the 566 and 567 ic. If i recal right Unitons were the "standard" equipment in your research lab ( i think they were electronic scopes )
but anyway, Synthetic diamonds have a specific pattern that shows up under x-ray. Also I'm told that there was an alignment specific to synthetic that does not exists in natural dimonds.
well good talking to you.
also since your in the north caroline region you most likely fish so
I wish I could, but I'm under a NDA and once you learn stuff that even is not covered on it, you still like to keep the faith. Also, one of the the owners is the guy that hires me to consult.
But i've got to say this. Most people think that they have freedom in the office environment. the truth is that the employer has that freedom.
Case in point. I was asked to review the e-mail policy of a firm. My final thoughts that were agree by their legal department ( this was another firm). Once the policy book states "all communication are monitored", & the monitors are in human resources & people that call in or out calls are advised of this fact (also signed policy pages from employees). The firm can review everything and anything at it's own pace and within legal "peace".
Let me tell you, 1,130,000.00 buys one hell of a keylogger / and survaliance software.

P.S. Unitron, I might know you ( very few people have their old handles or have unique names that reference Real research equipment) if you are from the New York area and you phreaked in the early 80's, where in the city would you eat ice cream ( thier was only one phreak spot just give out the areas name ). and is the 555 ic ( I wonder if they still make that timer chip) the best chip from that age.
The company is one of the most unique producers / manufacture of jewlery and gems. At times they are involved with the manufacture of synthetic ruby's ( without them placing a die within the solution NOBODY not even the experts can tell the difference ). They are commisioned special job to replicate works that go into museums.
What happened to them, is along the lines of some of the bruce willis type movies.
>> IANAL, but unless it's a government agency you should be able to refuse being searched.
Nope, I consult a bit to a firm that has the following policy for the past 5 years.
1) Everything and everyone (including the owners) inspected with a metal wand entering and leaving.
2) then a pat down entering and leaving
3) all jewlery must be removed, metal objects that are not a belt buckle or suspender or ( go figure ) a bic pen removed. all stored in a private locker. ( don't have a toe ring on. you'll have to remove it )
4) purses and handbags - ( you'll love this ) all contents placed into clear bags and each item checked. What ever the guards deam hazardous to employees won't make it via the next door.
The owners understand that this delays people a lot, so the time starts the moment you walk into the main door.
This place is real tight, the reason that they follow these darconian(sp?) rules is to protect the employees. Something bad happened a few years back.
>> Why doesnt someone add a feature to Mozilla that will not block ads but simply not display them. Heck even make one that "clicks through" in a background process but doesnt display anything:). Change your user agent and then continue on destroying NET ad revenue models.
Funny, I can see both sides of this arguement clearly. I side on the following.
So you are all for killing whatever little ad revenue a site can generate. Without including the bandwidth issue, servers and hosting still cost money. Most people enjoy seeing the few pennies that a site makes every day ( might not be a lot but it give a very happy ( justified?) feeling). So without that feeling of joy why would you keep a web site.
I can see the future of information... going to the highest price, or the best funded, or the highly filtered.
the write up awoke something in me that I felt for a long time.
When the USA is in a time of criss, It will act in the "self interest" and "preservation" of it self. Sliding those feelings towards what is the general "greater good".
So understanding those self interest one should know where to "toe the line" and cross the line for their own safety.
I have been honored to meet such a man durring a job on wall street back in the 80's. His desk was 3' x 6', 2 monitors, ash tray, and a library of books.
With a wave of his hand the room always went hush, nobody would move. then he would look up from his screen and ask "WHAT", then spin around in his chair, pour a glass of brandy.
At that point people would nervously state there problem, He would then give out the time it would be done. You could almost feel the tears of joy, from these poor people that he helped. Never failed on a project. Boy did he hate it when you took him away from his pet projects.
From what I have heard of him, he created one of the first distributed computer process programs ever to be used on wall street (90 - 93) for PC's (like seti but for stocks). And became a one of the firms best traders using the crunching ability of software that he created.
No, No, you mis-understand. The key word ( I was admitting to an error ) is the word "terror" and the "ism" or "ise". the person responding to my first statement was correcting my grammer, ( also pointing out that some words get abused ). I inturn tried to used the words Terrorise and Vandelise properly.

An English court of law active in the Tudor and early Stuart periods, abolished by the Long Parliament in 1641. An outgrowth of the royal council, it was made up of privy councilors as well as judges and supplemented the activities of the common-law and equity courts in both civil and criminal matters. Initially well regarded because of its speed and flexibility, Star Chamber became unpopular as the Stuart kings used it with increasing arbitrariness to enforce the royal prerogative. Its name thus became synonymous with secret, irresponsible court proceedings. (Academic American Encyclopedia)
>>before we worry about cyber-terrorism, can we at least establish that it actually exists?
Well if I remmember correctly, there was the situation of the credit card numbers that were held as ransom against payment. I think that person had 50K CCnumbers.
If that is not a terroristic attack against the ( sarcasm on ) "freedom of online shopping" ( sarcasm off ) then what is?
a person that releases a computer virus into a controlled set is doing lab work. if they release it into the world. Then they are a terrorist. An application ment to destroy or delete my computer data is the same as a person taking tossing a brick into my window. I have to start getting defensive.
>>Day traders take a 4 letter set and then buy and sell all day with no real idea of what the company actually does.
Well thank god that most day traders, at the end have a lot of losses and little profits. Their sole purpose is to provide liquidity to the markets. But your to your point, the best day traders research the industries that they feel has the highest movement ( volitility ) inorder to take advantage of that market. the worst just trade whatever the "stock " of the day is.
I spent all of 1991 to 1993 trading with "day traders" that were considered the best in certain markets for the firm. Best part that I learned was wait for the trade (set-up), pull the trigger (execute), if it stays your way (ride the profits), if it goes bad right away (dump and wait again), last and most important... close the trade when the momentum of profit stops.
Your remark "A domain name is nothing more than an address. Addresses should not be subject to trademark/copyright regulations"
Nope. the problem is the "name". You are looking at it from a very different angle. Names have association but address give locations. "Empire State Building" is copy-righted (I think trademarked with the building logo, but not sure) but it also has a street address. Both work fine for mailing.
Look at what happen to the WWF. Both companies have a problem ( world wrestling federation and world wildlife fund ). Interestingly enough that they shared the "WWF" for a while due to an "understanding" but the World Wildlife Fund owns the name "WWF" as a copywright (I think has the trademark of a Panda).
Names/words have meaning. Those meanings must be protected if it involves your products (Xerox, Kleanex, Tabasco...) otherwise it becomes public domain. Address only give you a location.
Biz domain will have a huge headache on it's hands when 2 or more trademark holders come to request a name. That's what I want to see.
>>What is "the slashdot type"? A generally underinformed, overopinionated, social outcast with far too much interest in programming languages and far too little interest in things like face-to-face human interaction?
