Abstract: A physical identification data (PID) addressing method using a wobble signal, a wobble address encoding circuit, a method and circuit for detecting the wobble address and a recording medium therefor. A wobble signal obtained by phase modulating address information indicating the physical identification information and a wobble signal having only a simple carrier are recorded in each groove track by way of time division multiplexing. Groove tracks are divided into odd groove tracks and even groove tracks, and a wobble carrier and wobble address information are alternately recorded in each groove track and between odd and even groove tracks such that the wobble address information is not recorded in a section of an even groove track corresponding to a section of an odd groove track in which the wobble address information is recorded. Therefore, interference between wobble signals of adjacent tracks can be removed, and a method and a circuit for detecting a wobble address can be simplified.

Abstract: An adaptive writing method of a high-density optical recording apparatus and a circuit thereof. The circuit includes a discriminator for discriminating a magnitude of a present mark of input NRZl data and magnitudes of leading and/or trailing spaces of the input NRZl data, a generator for controlling the waveform of a write pulse in accordance with the magnitude of the present mark of the input NRZl data and the magnitudes of the leading and/or trailing spaces of the input NRZl data to generate an adaptive write pulse, and a driver for driving a light source by converting the adaptive write pulse into a current signal in accordance with driving power levels for respective channels of the adaptive write pulse. The widths of the first and/or last pulses of the write pulse waveform are varied in accordance with the magnitude of the present mark of input NRZl data and the magnitude of the leading and/or trailing spaces, thereby minimizing jitter to enhance system reliability and performance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for continuous production of carbon nanotubes in a nano-agglomerate fluidized bed, which comprises the following steps: loading transition metal compounds on a support, obtaining supported nanosized metal catalysts by reducing or dissociating, catalytically decomposing a carbon-source gas, and growing carbon nanotubes on the catalyst support by chemical vapor deposition of carbon atoms.

Abstract: An apparatus and method supports thermal processing of a microelectronic device such as a semiconductor chip in a substrate by heating the substrate with secondary radiation from an energy transfer device 40, which has a first set of energy transfer regions comprised of an emissive and thermally conductive material, and a second set of thermally insulating regions comprised of a reduced emissivity and reduced thermal conductivity material or free space. A multi-zone-radiant energy source 30 provides radiative energy to energy transfer device 40, with a process controller 36, preferably a multi-zone controller, altering the amount of energy provided by each heat zone associated with each emissive region of energy transfer device 40. Sensors detect the thermal energy level of each energy transfer region to allow controller 36 to adjust the secondary radiation emitted by each region in real time, resulting in a predetermined and controlled distribution of thermal energy on substrate 20.
