Abstract: Methods and systems for calculating a wavelength to use for a reference beam in recovering data from a holographic storage medium along with calculating a rotation and a tilt for the storage medium in data recovery. These systems and method include determining intensity levels for a plurality of windows (or subsets of pixels) for a data page as the angle of the reference beam is adjusted. The angles corresponding to the angles where the maximum intensity of light is detected for each window is then used in determining the wavelength, tilt, and rotation in recovering subsequent data pages from the holographic storage medium.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for logically organizing data for storage and recovery on a data storage medium using a multi-level format. The present invention also provides systems and methods for protecting data stored on data storage medium so that the data may be recovered without errors.

Abstract: A geometric processing stage for a pipelined engine for processing video signals and generating processed video signal in space coordinates (S) adapted for display on a screen. The geometric processing stage includes: a model view module for generating projection coordinates of primitives of the video signals in a view space, said primitives including visible and non-visible primitives, a back face culling module arranged downstream of the model view module for at least partially eliminating the non visible primitives, a projection transform module for transforming the coordinates of the video signals from view space coordinates into normalized projection coordinates (P), and a perspective divide module for transforming the coordinates of the video signals from normalized projection (P) coordinates into screen space coordinates (S). The back face culling module is arranged downstream the projection transform module and operates on normalized projection (P) coordinates of said primitives.

Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes a substantially planar shaped printed circuit board (PCB) having a first side and a second side separated by a determined thickness. At least one electrically operable component, typically an LED element, is secured to a selected one of first and second sides of the PCB board, the component generating at least one of a thermal flow pattern and an electromagnetic field. A three-dimensional encapsulant is in-molded around the printed circuit board in such a fashion as to substantially embed the electrically operable component. The encapsulant provides selective heat conductive management of the thermal flow pattern and electromagnetic management of the electromagnetic fields generated by the component.

Abstract: Methods and systems for equalizing a holographic image page and for compensating nonlinearity of a holographic data storage channel are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for equalizing a holographic image page includes receiving the holographic image page and dividing the holographic image page into a plurality of local image regions. The method further includes generating a local alignment error vector for each local image region, computing a local finite impulse response kernel for each local image region according to the corresponding local alignment error vector, and adjusting misaligned pixels of each local image region using the corresponding local finite impulse response kernel.

Abstract: Elements of a sensor system are encapsulated into a single package. The sensor elements are covered with a flexible gel coat and then inserted into a molding tool cavity. Each element may be individually coated with a gel blob, or all elements may by coated with a single gel blob. One or more retractable pins are incorporated into the molding tool and in their normal position are each in contact with the gel. A molding compound is injected into the cavity so as to encapsulate the device and gel coat. When the pins are extracted and the device ejected from the molding cavity, one or more passageways in the molding are left defined by the pins. The passageways expose the flexible gel covering the device elements to the atmosphere. For pressure sensitive elements, the gel, being flexible, transfers the local air pressure to the pressure sensitive element. For optical elements, the exposed gel is preferably removed to allow for the passage of radiation to and from the device elements.
