  • Patent number: 8018822
    Abstract: An optical information recording medium includes an optical disk body including a light-transmitting substrate, a recording layer provided on a main surface of the light-transmitting substrate over a region in which pre-grooves are formed and a portion of a region in which dummy grooves are formed, and a reflecting layer provided over the recording layer and a region of the light-transmitting substrate in which the recording layer is not provided; and an ink receiving layer provided on the label surface side of the optical disc body. The dummy grooves provided in at least a portion of the region in which the dye material is not applied have a pitch larger than that of the pre-grooves, are shallower than that of the pre-grooves, or have half-width less than that of the pre-grooves.

  • Patent number: 7936661
    Abstract: Provided is an optical information recording medium that can be recorded with data with only a special recording apparatus and the recorded data can be read out with a general recording/reproducing apparatus. The optical information recording medium includes a disc-like light-transmissive substrate having a surface provided with a spiral groove WB having a wobble and a land LN between adjacent segments of the groove WB, a light-absorbing layer disposed on the surface of the light-transmissive substrate, and a light reflection layer disposed on the light-absorbing layer. The groove WB has a depth Ds of about 140 nm?Ds?155 nm, the light-absorbing layer has a recess with a depth Dd of about 95 nm?Dd?105 nm in the groove, and a push-pull signal before recording has a value of about 0.3 or less. The optical information recording medium may include an anti-illegal copy measure.

  • Patent number: 5939495
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a polyolefin having a functional group at its terminal and the object thereof is to provide a process in which the above polyolefin can be obtained with industrial advantages. This object can be attained by the process comprising step (A) producing a terminal-modified polyolefin of the formula P-AlR.sup.1 R.sup.2, wherein P is a polymer chain and each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is, for example, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, in the presence of an olefin polymerization catalyst composed of a solid titanium catalyst component (a) and an organoaluminum compound catalyst component (b) optionally together with an organosilicon compound (c) and step (B) producing a polyoiefin of the formula P-X, wherein P is as defined above and X is a functional group, by conducting a substitution reaction between -AlR.sup.1 R.sup.
