Abstract: An in-line sputtering system for depositing a thin film on a substrate includes a buffer heating module, an entry transfer module adjacent to the buffer heating module and having an expedited conveyor device for moving the substrate therein and a first sputtering module for depositing the thin film on the substrate, which is adjacent to the entry transfer module. The entry transfer module serves as a buffer zone which mitigates fluctuations in temperature and pressure in the first sputtering module when the substrate is unloaded from the buffer heating module. The substrate in the entry transfer module is moved by the expedited conveyor device at a speed greater than that in the first sputtering module.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recording medium containing moving picture data and additional information thereof and to reproducing method and apparatus of the recording medium. The present recording medium has script files including additional information about moving picture data, e.g., scene descriptive text and introduction of characters, etc. In addition, information linking each script file with a section of moving picture data to be presented with contents of the script file is included in a link data file or is contained in a filename of the script file. In reproduction of the recording medium, a script file linked with presently reproduced moving picture data section is determined and searched for based on the link data file or every filename of the script files, and contents of the found script file are presented together with the presently reproduced moving picture data. Furthermore, previously presented additional information is removed depending on data or filename of the found script file.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling remote reproduction of an information-stored medium in a reproduction apparatus including a reproduction unit for reproducing the information-stored medium in which an identification (ID) information is recorded in constant angular velocity (CAV) drive mode, and an external device for communicating with a remote server for playback permission of the information-stored medium. CAV rotating speed information is transmitted from external device to the reproduction unit. ID information is read while servo-controlling the rotation of the information-stored medium based on the transmitted CAV rotating speed information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reproducing apparatus-for a remote rental system, and in particular to a reproducing apparatus and control method for the apparatus bus which the playback permission of the video title, advertisements, and charge collection are performed remotely over a public communication network between a remote server and a reproducing apparatus. The remote rental system of the present invention comprises an information-stored medium with a unique ID code, a reproducing apparatus for playing the data on the information-stored medium, and a remote server for controlling the playback of the information-stored medium on the reproducing apparatus over the communication network. The remote rental system enables customers to keep the information-stored medium at a low cost without return, to use the information-stored medium whenever they want, and to receive useful information such as public advertisements that are provided continually over the communication network.
