  • Data storage media containing inorganic nanomaterial data layer
    Patent number: 8568957
    Abstract: Optical information media having a support substrate and an inorganic nanomaterial data layer are disclosed. The data layer provides enhanced stability and optical performance as compared to conventional data layers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2013
    Assignee: Brigham Young University
    Inventors: Christopher J. Buntel, Robert C. Davis, Douglas P. Hansen, Matthew R. Linford, Barry M. Lunt
  • Optical data storage media containing an encapsulated data layer
    Patent number: 8361585
    Abstract: Optical information media containing encapsulated data layers are disclosed. Selective layering of materials in inner radial, middle radial, and outer radial zones allows for the faces and edges of at least the data layers to be encapsulated by other materials, resulting in increased resistance to harmful environmental agents such as oxygen and moisture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2013
    Inventors: Christopher J. Buntel, Douglas P. Hansen, Matthew R. Linford, Barry M. Lunt, Christopher M. Miller, Raymond T. Perkins, Mark O. Worthington
