Abstract: An apparatus for forming microstructures in the surface of polymeric web materials for use as optical memory substrates. The microstructures may be formed by laminating a hot stamper to a web of material with a selective time/temperature profile. The stamper may be heated to melt flow the surface of the web and stabilize before separation. The stamper may be carried by a support that is independent of the press. The web of polymeric material may be provided with a flow enhancer to improve image formation. Also described herein are methods and apparatus for making optical memory modules, such as disks, which include novel stampers, coating applicators, and finishing systems.

Abstract: The present invention discloses processes for an embossing thin films that uniformly anneals the full cross section of a web of polymeric material, stabilizes the hot web while the web cools, bonds/laminates the embossed area of the web to a carrier and allows a cycle time of 10 seconds or less, preferably 3 seconds or less. Embodiments of the process incorporates a thermal embossing process to bond/laminate the polymeric web to the carrier concurrent with the embossing of the polymeric web and transfers the hot embossed web from the embossing, which allows an unembossed area of web to enter the embossing zone. This process is applicable to continuous roll-to-roll as well as intermittent motion platen embossing configurations and may be used to replicate information and/or track structure for an optical memory disk on one surface of the web. Embodiments of the present invention are particularly useful for embossing thin webs having a thickness of 600 ?m or less, preferably 125 ?m or less.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for the continuous manufacturing of optical memory or optical memory substrates, and/or optical disks, which includes supplying a web of material to a substrate forming apparatus, embossing a microform image onto a polymeric film, such as an information track structure for an optical device, onto one or both sides of the web with a flat stamper and punching a hole through the web during the embossing. During the embossing, the polymeric material is heated to above the glass transition temperature (Tg). A flat stamper limits the potential for warp in the web, particularly when the web is stabilized in the stamp zone. The disclosed invention is particularly useful in the production of optical disk substrates, such as polycarbonate, having a thickness of 0.6 mm or less.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the continuous manufacturing of optical memory or optical memory substrates, and/or optical disks, which includes supplying a web of polymeric material between two mating platens, melt-forming at least one microform image, such as an information track structure for an optical device, into the web with a substantially flat stamper, heating a substantial portion of the melt formed cross section of the web of polymeric material to the melt flow temperature (Tf) of the polymeric material. The invention discloses several embodiments for melt-forming an information structure and depositing several layers onto information structure to produce an optical memory device.

Abstract: A system and method to allow mirroring of data into a recovery site in real time so that as data is written to disk in a primary data center location, it is concurrently copied to disk at a recovery site, thereby eliminating the use of separate magnetic media for that purpose. Real-time mirroring of data is provided to a separate facility which is connected to a first mainframe data center through appropriate communications circuits. The secondary data center operations are kept current with the primary data center's operations so that in the event of a system failure, operations of the data center can be recovered in an expedited manner.

Abstract: A visibility gauge in the form of a disc or strip of diffusing material arranged to be interposed in the light path from a subject to an observer. The diffusiveness of the strip varies along its length so that the contrast between the subject and its background can be selectively varied by arranging the strip to transmit progressively greater or smaller proportions of diffused light until a threshold of visibility is reached. The strip may be in the form of a wedge of diffusing material or a clear strip with one surface treated to be progressively more diffusive towards one end.
