Abstract: A package for a holographic storage media disk (10) is provided that is comprised of a super structure (18) that is operable to hold the disk (10). The disk (10) is comprised of a photopolymer material that is formed in a disk-shaped member having a hub (14) disposed at the center thereof. The disk (10) is disposed in the structure (18) and then a cover (24) disposed thereover, the cover (24) being opaque. An access opening (28) is disposed within the cover (24) to allow access to the surface of the disk (10). A hub opening (26) is provided for allowing access to the hub (14). The hub (14) is disposed such that there is a light tight seal relative to the cover (24). A door (32) is provided for reciprocating over the opening (28) to light seal the package when data is not being recorded to the disk (10) or read therefrom.

Abstract: Disclosed is an access door for computer systems comprising an outer case containing an electronic component of the computer system that is capable of generating heat during the operation of the computer system. The outer case has an aperture in its surface proximate the component to allow external access into the outer case. The access door is capable of assuming a closed position where it closes the aperture, covers the component and forms a part of the outer. The access door is also capable of being placed in an open position wherein the component is externally exposed through the aperture. The access door includes a heat sink having a heat receiving portion positioned to mechanically contact a surface of the component to allow transmission of heat from the component to the heat receiving portion.
