Abstract: A floating dock includes at least two floats each having a hollow body, the hollow body including a solid top surface, at least one solid side surface, and a bottom and at least one removable fastener connecting the at least two floats to form the floating dock. The hollow body defines at least a portion of a linking system that is configured to receive the at least one removable fastener for removably connecting the at least two floats to form the floating dock. The bottom of the hollow body may be defined by an open bottom that allows for stacking of the floats. The open bottom may be sealed by a removable cover when the float is in use.

Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to store information onto a holographic storage medium. Techniques are described that can be used to access information from a holographic storage medium. Multiple beam sources and multiple detectors can be used to store and/or read information. At least one detector can be available to read information available from a beam reflected from the medium. Multiple read and/or write operations may take place at substantially the same time.
