Optical discs have fast become an industry standard for data storage in the fields of computers, video, and music. Optical discs include, but are not limited to, compact discs (CDs), Digital Video (or Versatile) Discs (DVDs) and game system discs in a variety of formats. Commercially produced optical discs usually have digital data recorded on one side of the disc and a visual display printed on the other side of the disc.
In some instances, optical discs are created that can store data on both sides of the disc. However, in many cases, it is desirable to limit the optical disc data to a single side of the disc, leaving the other side of the disc for printed text, patterns or graphics. The printed labeling on a non-data side of an optical disc can include a decorative design, text identifying the data stored on the disc, or both.
As optical technology has advanced, writeable and rewritable optical discs and equipment for writing onto the discs have become reasonably priced within the grasp of ordinary consumers. Thus, many consumers currently have the ability to store data on an optical disc with home office equipment.
However, very specialized and expensive equipment is required to print labeling on an optical disc. Consequently, the labeling of discs by most consumers is typically limited to printing on separate adhesive labels that are adhered to the non-data side of the disc or hand-writing with a marker directly on the disc or an adhesive label.
A method of labeling an object includes selectively applying focused energy to thermally conductive pads on the object to create a label on the object. The conductive pads are disposed adjacent to a thermochromic layer.
The accompanying drawings illustrate various embodiments of the present invention and are a part of the specification. The illustrated embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the invention.
Throughout the drawings, identical reference numbers designate similar, but not necessarily identical, elements.
Writeable and rewritable optical disks include materials that change optical properties (e.g. reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission, diffraction, and scatter) when heated by a focused energy source (e.g. a writing laser). By selectively changing the optical properties of particular points along an optical disc's spiral data track and leaving other areas unaffected, digital data is recorded on the disk that computers and/or audiovisual equipment can read. Some changes in optical properties, for example, a change in reflectivity, are also readily visible to consumers and typically indicate that data is stored on the optical disc. Therefore, in addition to storing data on an optical disc, it is also possible to create visible printed patterns or graphical designs on the disc by selectively changing the optical properties of portions of the disc.
However, lasers used to write data onto the optical disk data track are very tightly focused and of very high resolution (�12,000 dpi) to facilitate storage of very large amounts of data. Such high resolution lasers require thousands of laser strikes to create one 300 dpi visible spot. Consequently, it would take a very long time, perhaps an hour or more, to write a small printed pattern or graphical design onto a conventional optical disc in this manner. As a result, it is not common currently for printed patterns and/or graphical designs to be written onto conventional optical discs using the same laser that also writes digital data to the disc.
The present specification describes a mass media storage device, such as an optical disc, and methods of making and using such an optical disc. The specification also describes methods of labeling mass media storages devices or any other object by the application of focused energy.
As used in this specification and the appended claims, the term �optical disc� is used broadly to encompass discs for recording music, pictures, video and/or software, etc.. An optical disc includes, but is not limited to, writable and rewritable storage devices including, but not limited to, Compact Discs (CDs), Compact Disc Read-Only Memory (CD-ROMs) and Digital Video (or Versatile) Discs in various formats.
�Label� or �labeling� means any text, printed pattern, graphical design or combination thereof on an object. If a label is added to an optical disc, typically the label is found on one side of the optical disc, although this is not necessarily the case. �Printed pattern�, means any text, letters, words, symbols, or characters that are found on an object as part of a label for that object. �Graphical design� means any graphic or image that is found on an object as part of a label for that object. �Uniform� means having the same or substantially the same design or pattern throughout.
As mentioned above, it is possible to write labels on current optical discs by applying a laser to the discs in certain patterns. The application of the laser changes the optical properties (such as reflectivity) of the exposed portions of the disc, resulting in patterns that can be made large enough to be visible to users. Lasers for writing digital, machine-readable data on optical discs are typically focused at about 2.2 μm. Therefore, if such a laser is used to also write a label onto a disc, because of the extremely small pixel size that would result, it takes a very long time to produce labels.
While typically, the smaller the pixel size, the better resolution in a printed product, a 2.2 μm pixel size is unnecessarily small to print a quality label. Therefore, an optical disc is described below for facilitating faster labeling without compromising data storage capability. Subsequent to the description of the optical disc itself, methods for making an optical disc are discussed, followed by a discussion of actually creating a label on the optical disc. However, it will be understood that the methods described herein are not limited to labeling optical discs. The methods and apparatus described below may be implemented with any object to facilitate labeling by the application of focused energy. The particular implementations described below with reference optical discs are therefore exemplary in nature, and not limiting. For example, the labeling techniques and apparatus described below may be applied to bottles, cans, or any other objects.
Turning now to the figures, and in particular
As shown in
The size of the thermally conductive pads (104) can be set at any desired size and will correspond to the size of a pixel in the label that is to be produced on the disc (100). For example, the size of the thermally conductive pads may be larger than approximately 5 μm. In some examples, the size of the conductive pads (104) is between approximately 5 and 50 μm. Within that range, in some examples, the size of the conductive pads is about 32 μm.
The thermally conductive pads (104) are arranged adjacent to a thermochromic layer (110) that is discussed in more detail below with reference to
The pixel size of the thermally conductive pads (104) is substantially larger than the typical focus size of an optical writing laser, facilitating faster labeling than previously possible using a focused energy emission source, such as an optical writing laser. As suggested by the name, each of the thermally conductive pads (104) includes a thermally conductive material. The thermally conductive material may include, for example, carbon or other thermal conductors. Accordingly, a focused energy source may direct energy to any portion of an individual thermally conductive pad (104), and the thermally conductive pad (104) will absorbs the energy and substantially evenly distributes the absorbed energy across the pad.
As the energy is absorbed and distributed across the thermally conductive pad (104), the temperature of the pad increases. When the conductive pad (104) increases in temperature, the pad (104) transfers heat to portions of the thermochromic layer (110) adjacent to the pad (104). The heat transferred to the thermochromic layer (110) results in an optical density change for that portion of the thermochromic layer (110) that is heated. By selectively applying focused energy to the thermally conductive pads (104), a label of printed patterns and/or graphical designs may be quickly added to the optical disc (100) in the thermochromic layer (110).
Instead of selectively writing a label to the optical disc (100) with a 2.2 μm pixel size, the use of the thermally conductive pads (104) facilitates writing labels with a pixel size of 5�50 μm or greater, corresponding to the size of the thermally conductive pads (104). This decreases the labeling write time by about 2�20 times or more. In addition to the example of an optical disc, the thermally conductive pads (104) may be combined with a thermochromic layer (110) and added to any other object to facilitate labeling of that object.
In addition to enabling faster label creation, the introduction of the thermally conductive pads (104) may add to the accuracy of the labels. A typical 2.2 μm pixel created by writing to conventional optical discs tends to be misshaped (tear-shaped or elliptical) because of the rotation of the optical disc during writing. The use of specially shaped thermally conductive pads (104) ensures a desired pixel size and shape. And, although the thermally conductive pads (104) shown are all the same size, this is not necessarily so. The size and shapes of the thermally conductive pads (104) of an object may be uniform as shown, or may vary. Further, use of the relatively large thermally conductive pads (104) increases tolerance for positional errors of the focused energy emission source. Energy may be directed to any portion of the conductive pad (104), and the pad (104) will still substantially evenly distribute the energy and uniformly heat the thermochromic layer (110).
The optical disc (100) (or other object) with the thermally conductive pads (104) may be made according to any of a number of methods. Particular methods of manufacture are discussed below, however, the methods discussed below are exemplary in nature and not limiting. Turning to
After indenting a pattern onto the insulating layer (106), a thermally conductive material is deposited onto the insulating layer (106) and/or into the indentations (400). For example, a thermally conductive material such as carbon in a solvent may be fluidly layered across the insulating layer (106). One example of a carbon/solvent mixture is ink commonly used in inkjet printers. Following application of a liquid conductive layer, the solvent is allowed to evaporate, leaving the solid carbon or other thermally conductive material in the indentations (400). Alternatively, the thermally conductive material may be inserted directly into the individual indentations (400), and there may be no need for an evaporation time allowance. The thermally conductive material disposed in the indentations defines the thermally conductive pads (104) shown in
Following the formation of the thermally conductive pads (104), the thermochromic layer (110) is disposed over the thermally conductive pads (104) and the insulating layer (106) as shown in
An optically transparent layer (112) may be disposed over the thermochromic layer (10) as shown in
It will be understood that opposite of the label side (102,
In an alternative construction, a specialty film could be made to include the thermally conductive pads and an insulator. The specialty film could then be applied to an object such as an optical disc, but it may also be added to any other object to facilitate labeling.
According to some aspects of the construction of an optical disc, a label side may also include some permanent information that is human or machine readable. Such permanent information may include, but is not limited to: the optical disc format, the color that will be viewable when the optical density of the thermochromic layer is changed, etc.
Turning now to a discussion of an actual labeling operation according to the principles discussed herein, labeling of the optical disc (100,
The computer system (500) includes a mount (502) and a motor (504) for holding and spinning the optical disc (100). The label side (102) of the disc (100) is shown facing the mount (502) such that a label may be written to the disc (100). It will be understood, of course, that data may also be written to the data side (114) of the optical disc (100) if the disc is turned over.
Positioned to face a portion of the label side (102) of the optical disc (100) is a track (506) providing for movement of a sled (508) radially with respect to the optical disc (100). Movement of the sled (508) is actuated by a solenoid (509) or other device. A focused energy emitting device or devices, which in the present embodiment includes a first, second and third laser (510, 512, 514, respectively), is disposed on the sled (508). The first laser (510) is a writing laser with enough power to quickly heat the thermally conductive pads (104,
However, the system (500) is in a writing mode as shown in
When the energy beam (540) strikes one of the thermally conductive pads (104,
The first laser (510) applies the energy beam (540) to all locations programmed in the processor (520) to create a label, e.g., printed pattern and/or graphical display. For example, the first laser (510) may apply energy to selective thermally conductive pads (104) to create a printed pattern (600) or graphical design (602) as shown in
The preceding description has been presented only to illustrate and describe embodiments of invention. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to any precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The principles described herein, including using thermally conductive pads under a thermochromic material, may be adapted to any object. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the following claims.

These are not college or high school problems. They are part of the normal 5th grade curricula.
Check this site for LCM instructions.
Let x = the number of boys in the class.
36 - 16 = x
I agree with Ms. Sue. These are definitely in a good 5th grade math curriculum. My granddaughter is in 5th grade this year, and she has had this level of work for over a year now.
can you show how to do the median ?
what is the median for the following numbers?
i think 83 is the answer.
"The median is the middle number. In this example, the numbers are already listed in numerical order, so I don't have to rewrite the list. But there is no "middle" number, because there are an even number of numbers. In this case, the median is the mean (the usual average) of the middle two values: (2 + 4) ÷ 2 = 6 ÷ 2 = 3"
14, 65, 78, 83, 142, 178
So you need to find the average (mean) between 78 and 83. How will you do that?
let x=total students
let y=total girls
let z=total boyz

moles and voles
diana1959August 21, 2009
I live in South Jersey, and can't grow a lawn. I have so many tunnels from moles and voles (yes, I have both somewhere. My cats bring me them sometimes). I don't want to use poison, if possible, but will if I have to. Does anyone have an idea on how to get rid of these pests? I've heard that if you eliminate the white grubs, then they'll leave. If so, how do you get rid of them? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
donnabaskets(Zone 8a, Central MS)
I can tell you from trying to rid my yard of grubs, and therefore, armadillos, that this is a very tall order. First, the poison is quite expensive, and second, it only last 8 to 10 weeks and then you have to do it again. If I were you, I would call a local exterminator.

MYSORE: Members of a women's group and students have lent their support to the farmers agitating against the proposed Chamalapura thermal power plant.
Nearly 500 members of the Mahilodaya Mahila Okkuta gathered in front of the office of the Deputy Commissioner here on Wednesday and staged a protest against the proposed project.
The members said that a cost-benefit analysis and a study of the pros and cons of the proposed project had more of ill-effects and the negative implication outscored the perceived positive benefits and hence, it should be dropped.
The organisation has taken the lead in printing brochures and pamphlets highlighting the ill-effects of the proposed project in a bid to raise awareness.
In a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister, the organisation listed the negative impact of going ahead with the 1000 MW power plant and said that land around Chamalapura was fit for agriculture and not for establishing industrial or power plants.
The proposed project was close to the national parks which were rich in wildlife and they would be affected, according to the organisation. Similarly, members of the Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP) staged a protest against the proposed power plant and pointed out that coal in India had a high percentage of ash content in it and hence, did not have thermal efficiency.

Underneath all this hair is a sweet little puppy that has been aptly named Mopsy. She looks to be all Shih Tzu and does her Chinese ancestry proud. She's a mix of buff and white and is only 5 to 6 months old. Considered to be hypoallergenic, the breed is known for it's gentleness and love of luxury. She wants nothing more than to snuggle in with an owner who loves her. She'll weigh between 12 and 15 pounds when grown and will require vigilant grooming, but her beauty will be worth the effort. She's had her first shots and been wormed. She can be rescued and adopted at Newton County Animal Shelter, located at 210 Lower River Road in Covington. The shelter usually has between 20 to 30 dogs and an equal number of cats eligible for adoption. The adoption fee for a dog or puppy is $25 and $10 for a cat or kitten. Spaying/neutering is mandatory for all animals. The shelter is open from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The phone number is 770-786-9514. Anyone who has lost a pet is urged to go to the center and bring a photo of the missing animal.

World Cup '94 was American sweatbath
German and South Korean players felt the Cotton Bowl turf scorching their feet through their shoes. Ireland manager Jack Charlton, sweating through his white shirt and cap, splashed water on his players from the touchline.
After two hours of play in the final, an exhausted Roberto Baggio hung his head after sailing Italy's final penalty kick over the bar to hand Brazil the championship.
Those are some of the lasting images of the heat that gripped the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
And then there was me, one of thousands baking in the exposed upper deck of the Citrus Bowl in Orlando to watch Belgium and Morocco wither on a typical Central Florida summer afternoon. It took about five minutes to realize that my stiff nylon U.S. soccer jersey — the kind that doesn't absorb any kind of moisture or allow any breeze through the fabric — was a regrettable choice of clothing.
At least I wore a hat. The Belgian players slathered their heads in hair gel with the idea it would help them keep cool.
The weather in Brazil — specifically the heat and humidity of some northern venues — has become a big issue for the upcoming World Cup that kicks off June 12.
Brazil's players' union has sued FIFA over worries that early afternoon kickoff times will put some players at risk because of intense heat and humidity. The union wants FIFA to at least introduce two-minute water breaks in each half during those matches. And concerns over the heat in Qatar have dominated discussions about the World Cup in 2022.
Back in the U.S. in 1994, everyone knew heat problems were coming. Games were played under the mid-afternoon sun to accommodate European prime-time television broadcasts.
Everyone expected scorchers in Dallas and Orlando. But a relentless heat wave also blistered Chicago and even wilted the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
As a Florida native, I didn't give the heat a second thought before that first-round match. It's always hot in Central Florida in summer. You can count on an afternoon rain to cool things down, even if it just steams them up again 20 minutes later.
Yet sitting in the rafters of the Citrus Bowl, rubbing sweaty elbows and dripping inside that infernal jersey was about as uncomfortable of a sports experience I can remember. Like the Belgian players, the goal was to survive and advance: them to the second round, me to the exit.
Belgium scored 11 minutes in on a glancing header off a cross from the right wing. Then the heat seemed to suck the life out of the Red Devils and the game. We had another 79 minutes to suffer through watching the players suffer more.
Historical weather records say the temperature at 2 p.m. was about 90 degrees. News accounts, however, pushed the on-field temps over 100. According to The New York Times, 160 fans were treated for heat-related stress and 12 were hospitalized.
The Belgium players, used to the cool, rainy weather and breezes off the English Channel back home, slowed the game, packed in the defense and kept putting on the hair gel.

I've had this product for a while, not really knowing what to do with it exactly. Highlighting on my face has never been easy for me to accomplish so the bottle pretty much stayed in my makeup drawer, sadly staring at me to use it. Then, one day, a friend of mine suggested that I mix it with my foundation before applying and what a difference that made! Now, it no longer sits sadly in my drawer! I squirt a little of my BB cream (Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 27) on the back of my hand, add a dollop of the Illuminizer, mix it together with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, then tap it onto my face and blend away. The champagne color of the Illuminzer works great with my yellow undertones and it gives me a subtle, healthy-ish glow that doesn't look like a shiny oil slick. It is a little pricey, and I'm kind of on the fence on whether the bottle is ideal packaging since it's glass and the pump (or my pressing finger) sometimes has a mind of it's own, but you get a lot of product for the price and I love the look it gives me, as well as the added moisture from the Argan Oil is an added bonus!

I was looking for an illuminizer to mix with my foundation, and first I tried Nars Copacabana, it was ok, but it was way too pink for my skin tone (I am mostly neutral with a little bit of warmth). So, I needed something a little more golden, so I bought this. It is perfect! It adds a beautiful glow to my skin without looking oily. My skin is dry, so the fact that it is argon oil is a bonus for me. It doesn't break me out, or clog my pores. I gave it four stars because I wish it was in a squeeze tube, but if you are careful you can get the right amount out. I will repurchase.

I can not live without this! Does not clog pores, which is great for my extremely sensitive skin (that gets acne super easily)! It provides a beautiful glow that completely evens the skin tone.
I got it at sephora for $14 and it came with the hair serum too, which is some deal they have going on now. When I unscrewed the dropper I thought it was going to look awful and cakey, but you really can't even tell you're wearing it. I have been using the JM regular argon oil for a year with amazing results and I am happy to have found this awesome luminizer to even my skin tone!

I hope they will never ever discontinue this product at all.
It is the best highlighter that I have ever tried. It's like I'm glowing from within which I really like.
The only downside I have to say for me is that the pump dispensers too much of product. So I have to unscrew the bottle to use my desired amount:(
But overall fantastic product I would cry if they decide not to make this anymore.
Highly recommend this product to all the ladies:):):)

I've only been using this for a week but I'm already in love.
I have dry skin and in winter it gets dull and lifeless. Any illuminating product appeals to me, but this one was reccomended by a blogger who has dry skin as well.
A bit of a heavy price tag, but it is so concentrated all I need is one pump for my whole face, I think it will last a long time.
I have fair skin and this just mixed with moisturizer gives such a nice glow! But I like to mix it with foundation. It makes my super pale face look brighter and livlier without any spakles or glitter.
One thing I have found that it works amazing as a primer (at least for me.)
I tried it before foundation/powder and it made everything stay on all day! And as for now no breakouts or anything, which is awesome. Love this, highly reccomend!

Kept testing this at Sephora and finally got it in the Moroccan Kit that was out for holidays. I am nc30-35, love this. Most luminizers are too glittery or the sheen isn't right, but this is terrific and the pump is useful. It gives a subtle glow, i use this mostly on cheekbones for special occasion but could be used during the day without it being too much.

I was introduced to Josie's products in a 'home shopping' make-up kit..& hands down, the illuminizer is my fave product..I would never been introduced to this AWESOME product otherwise. I LOVE the beautiful, healthy glow I get w this illuminizer (face, upper chest, & even my shoulders!) I have gotten many compliments on how healthy my skin looks-even if I mix it just w my moisturizer!! Also, a teeny bit goes a long way!! I am almost 50 & (thankfully!!) have inherited great skin from my Hungarian parents & ancestors so I usually just mix half a drop of illuminizer w my moisturizer & it definitely wakes up my skin in a quick, healthy way -- definitely not in a 'glittery' sorta way. I also sometimes get under-eye circles due to my chronic insomnia & this illuminizer definitely helps them fade. Woo Hoo! Plus, this product is actually GOOD FOR MY SKIN! This bottle will last me a lonnng time & I definitely will repurchase wen I run out. Thanks Josie!! :)

I am a fan of most Josie Maran products, so I am not surprised that I love this highlighter. I have tried most of the fan favorites and this one so far is the best. I use it for my brow bone and sometimes I will add just a touch to my foundation for all over. I am warm toned and Benefits highbeam seems too cool for me, although this is a similar color it just comes out a little warmer on me. This product is worth checking out.

What brands of fridges have a smooth white finish?
I'm looking for a new fridge and want to get a white finish, but I'd like a smooth more modern white instead of the pebbled textured white that many white fridges are. Most of the showrooms seem to have very few white models on display -- it's all stainless. Any recommendations for which brands have a smooth white finish? Does Amana, which is the brand I was considering getting? Thanks!
I'm researching fridges. I noticed that Whirlpool's new white color is called Arctic White, and it's smooth, glossy white, for a modern take on white. They're selling it as "the new stainless."
I've been looking at fridges in person at Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Most of the white ones I saw are smooth white. That's what's "in" right now.
I'm curious as to why you're going for white, when almost everyone seems gung ho for stainless? I've had white for 20 years. I love white. But I'm considering stainless for my new fridge...just because everyone seems to love it so much, and just for a change. But I must confess that I love white in a kitchen. And I'm concerned about keeping the smudges off of SS, since I'm no domestic goddess and favor things that are easy to care for.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm somewhat ambivalent between SS and white. But everyone says that SS shows fingerprints more, which I'd rather avoid. Also, I want a brighter feeling kitchen and SS has such an industrial grayness to it. But I too am hesitant b/c it's hard to find many photos on houzz, for example, of new kitchens with light maple stained cabinets (our preference) and white appliances.
I read your thread with interest because I dislike stainless and know in the next couple years we'll probably want to replace our fridge that is only 5 or 6 years old (don't buy LG). It is white, and I like white. When we bought a new range earlier this year we ended up with ss because that was the best way to get the pro type range I wanted, but one ss appliance is enough for me.
Here are some pics that might help you out. I like the look.
