Abstract: A method for locating a labelable region on a surface of an optical storage medium including an unlabelable region. A laser beam is impinged onto a location on the surface without marking the location. Laser energy reflected from the location is detected. Based on the reflected laser energy, it is determined whether the location is in a labelable region markable by the laser energy or an unlabelable region not markable by the laser energy.

Abstract: An electroluminescent panel includes a partial electroluminescent panel base and a deactivatable conductive layer next to the partial electroluminescent panel base. The deactivatable conductive layer is selectively deactivated to define one or more electrically isolated conductive regions within the deactivatable conductive layer.

Abstract: A medium for creating an electroluminescent display is provided. The medium includes an assembly of joined layers. The joined layers include one or more layers configured to be activated regionally to form a pattern such that electrical energization of the assembly produces electroluminescence according to the pattern.

Abstract: An electroluminescent panel includes a partial electroluminescent panel base, a layer of electrically isolated conductive areas next to the partial electroluminescent panel base, and an activatable conductive layer next to the layer of electrically isolated conductive areas. The activatable conductive layer is selectively activated to electrically connect selected electrically isolated conductive areas together to define one or more electrically isolated conductive electrode regions.

Abstract: Substrates, coatings and methods for marking substrates using the coatings. The substrate contains a coating of encapsulated marking materials. Capsules of the encapsulated marking materials are designed to preferentially absorb a predetermined wavelength of light or range of wavelengths of light. The capsules contain color chemistry capable of activation by the predetermined wavelength of light or range of wavelengths of light for the generation of a color response. By utilizing capsules of differing color chemistries, such substrates are capable of multi-color image generation.

Abstract: A method and a medium for laser imaging is herein disclosed. The medium incorporates one or more types of microstructures having a predetermined heat or radiation modifiable optical characteristic such as color, scattering, diffusion, diffraction, interference and iridescence. Associated intimately with the microstructures is a radiation antenna that acts to absorb radiation from a radiation source. The radiation antenna and source are attuned to one another to efficiently transfer energy therebetween and subsequently to the microstructures; this transfer of energy results in the modification of an optical characteristic of the microstructures to form an image on the medium. The medium has one or more layers that may include both the radiation antenna and the microstructures. Alternatively, the microstructures and radiation antenna may be included in separate layers. Coatings that incorporate one or more layers that include distinct microstructures and radiation antennae are also contemplated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are imaging materials and methods of making imaging materials. The imaging systems disclosed herein may include a reflective layer disposed proximate to and beneath a laser imageable layer on an optical disc.

Abstract: A method for labeling a plurality of tracks on a medium is disclosed. The method detects one or more contiguous blank pixels at the conclusion of a data set representing a first track. An ending position for the first track is set at a last non-blank pixel. At least a portion of the first track up to the ending position is labeled before advancing to a second track.

Abstract: A durable printed composite material can include a printable layer having an image reverse printed thereon. The printable layer can be a transparent or translucent material. A metallic layer can be adhered to the image side of the printable layer using an adhesive layer. The layers are formed such that at least a portion of the metallic layer is visible through the printable layer. A method of forming a durable printed composite material can include reverse printing an image on a printable layer to form a printed surface. A metallic layer can then be adhered to the printed surface of the printable layer. Heat and pressure can be applied to the metallic layer to produce a durable printed composite material. The metallic layer can be at least partially visible through the printable layer. The durable printed composite material provides a medium which has an image having a reflective metallic background useful in a variety of applications.
