The joy of jim-jams! As Guy Ritchie sees off his model girlfriend sporting pyjamas, a fellow PJ wearer says there's nothing cosier
Film director Guy Ritchie has given the celebrity world an attack of the vapours by being photographed in a pair of old-fashioned, striped pyjamas.
Madonna's ex-husband was snapped at the door of his London home, fairly late in the morning, as he bade goodbye to his chic girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley.
The photographic evidence is irrefutable. Mr Ritchie, 41, was wearing traditional PJs, decorated with vertical blue lines. Jolly smart, too, I'd say. The tough-guy director of Snatch and Revolver looked thoroughly at ease with the world, as most chaps in their jimmies do.
Style atrocity? Certainly not, says Quentin Letts after Guy Ritchie was pictured in his pyjamas
But, inexplicably, the Ritchie pyjamas were deemed a style atrocity.
One newspaper yesterday gasped that they were of a design 'little seen outside the world of seaside deckchairs since the days of Andy Pandy'.
A celebrity website, barely able to cope with the news, said such items were 'usually favoured by grandads'. It was reported that pyjamas have not been much in vogue since the early Fifties.
But the figures suggest otherwise. Sales of men's pyjamas have gone up from £22million to £33million over the past decade and women's have trebled, from £32million to £93million.
You see, jim-jams keep you warm. They are comfortable. In a fast-changing world, they have altered little over the decades.
A grown man may not be able to retain a grip on his teddybear, but at least he can still wear pyjamas. When you head off to the land of nod, do you need to be fretting about fashion?
The two Ronnies, Corbett (right) and Barker, don their pyjamas for a sketch. Pyjamas are currently seeing a rise in popularity not seen since the early Fifties
Far better to drift to sleep while encased in a pair of no-nonsense
PJs, confident that you will be able to cope with any emergency the
night-time hours might hurl at you. Mr Ritchie is to be congratulated,
not scorned.
Let's hear it for jim-jams!
apparently prefer men to wear singlets and trunks to bed. Some men are
said to sleep in African wraps. Others go au naturel.
in your birthday suit is fine for the tropics, but not all of us live
in modern, double- glazed houses with efficient heating systems.
Our draughty old house in Herefordshire becomes decidedly frosty
from late October to early April. Not quite ice on the insides of the
window panes, but cool enough to shrivel morale (and more) unless you
are wearing PJs.
My wife used to pinch my pyjamas for her own use. She maintained that it was so ruddy cold in our house that men's pyjamas were the only solution. I responded by buying her a pair of turquoise stripey jobs from Simpsons of Piccadilly (which is now a Waterstones book shop but used to stand over Jermyn Street like a docked liner).
PJs: It's hard to imagine Madonna tolerating them
Far from being grateful, Mrs Letts accused me of being unromantic.
My previous Christmas present had, admittedly, been a self-assembly wheelbarrow - but we were short of money at the time and I was trying to be practical. Anyway, she would not wear my lovely present.
While I persisted with my agreeably furry PJs, my beloved started coming to bed in tracksuit bottom, sweatshirt and bedsocks. One particularly freezing night she even wore a bobble hat.
I complained that it was like going to bed with a jogger. Another huff ensued and she now sleeps in skimpy nighties. Terrific for me, but she is invariably first to catch a cold every autumn.
She continues to regard my pyjamas with a tangle of envy and mirth. She yearns for their warmth. But she is determined to regard them as old pootish. More fool she.
The word pyjama has Persian origins and PJs became popular in Empire days. With their jacket and trousers, they had something in common with day-wear and unlike Wee Willie Winkie-style nightshirts they covered a man's knees and hairy shins.
If the district officer had to be disturbed from his slumber, it was easier if he was wearing pyjamas. Less likely to lead to mutinous impertinence from the Sepoys.
Pyjamas were popular in the Edwardian era, when the flappers and their Berties would hold pyjama cocktail parties.
So it remained between the wars. Under their smoking jackets, Noel Coward, the Mitford sisters and the Cecil Beaton set invariably wore elegant pyjamas, probably silk. You can count me out of silk, though.
Not warm enough and too expensive. Give me cotton or flanelette any day. I buy a label called Derek Rose, which have rope waistbands (forgiving on a variable girth).
What's more, pyjamas are practical. They have pockets which are good for storing bookmarks, pencil, paper, toffees and similar indispensables for those who like to sit up in bed reading before lights-out.
We have a house full of children - and the occasional mother-in-law or weekend guest - so PJs are perfectly presentable should you be caught on a midnight trundle to the larder.
A man in pyjamas has nothing to fear. There is something reassuring and Winnie the Pooh-ish about PJs
For some of the week I stay at a club in central London. One night the fire alarms sounded at 3am. As we all assembled in the corridor muster-point, it was interesting to see who was wearing what.
A man with a wooden leg wore nothing but a towel. Two chaps had gone to sleep in their day clothes (drink had been taken). One was in a frilly night shirt. One had yet to go to bed, having been playing piano. One was in a sort of one-piece jumpsuit.
Only two of us were wearing pyjamas, and we were the ones with least to fear from satirical comments at breakfast the following day.
As Guy Ritchie has demonstrated, pyjamas are perfect for the man who has risen but not yet dressed.
I wrote most of my last book, Bog Standard Britain, in my pyjamas. I would alight from the marital bed at 5am and write in my study, not wishing to disturb the household by running hot water at that early hour.
Every morning, the farmer's wife from next door would drive the cows down the lane and give a wave. There was no reason to dive for cover.
A man in pyjamas has nothing to fear. There is something reassuring and Winnie the Pooh-ish about PJs.
If you are ever being bullied by some office dictator, the easiest way to overcome your rage is to picture them in their pyjamas.
I used to do this when John Prescott was at his most malevolent during Labour's time in office.
I found that conjuring up an image of Two Jags in his winceyette glories was the best way of avoiding becoming depressed by the damage he was causing to our country.
We do not know if Guy Ritchie started to wear pyjamas as a reaction against his years with Madonna. It is somehow hard to imagine that fashion obsessive tolerating such items in her house.
But as a film buff, Mr Ritchie will remember that in 1934 Clark Gable changed fashion history by taking off his shirt in It Happened One Night and showing Claudette Colbert - and the watching world - that he was not wearing a vest.
Gable's admiring millions followed his example and adandoned their vests.
Something similar might now happen in reverse.
If a pyjama man such as Guy Ritchie can bag a pretty girl like Jacqui Ainsley, is it not time for British men to revert to good old jimmies?

In the last thread, I found out a number of individuals had issues calling into GLD's inquiry line. I'd like to hear more on this so if you do have a horror story calling into State Street, feel free to share your account of what happened.
I called in with some fairly simple questions pertaining to GLD. It started out as a typical inquiry call should be as a rep named Brian introduced himself and offered to answer my questions. As soon as I gave out my first inquiry, I heard someone in the background repeating exactly what I said and MOCKING my accent. I could never fathom a professional point of contact pulling something like this so I thought I must have heard wrong. I went on with the call and eventually hung up after being ridiculed in the same rude manner.
Why is such behavior tolerated? Isn't SSgA a world class organization supporting a world class product? I have since been told by colleagues that 'Brian' likely forgot to put me on mute while putting me on speaker for his 'buddies'. Regardless, there is no excuse to crucify me for their own entertainment.
This begs the question: how many others have they done this to in order to satisfy their personal amusement? I can't imagine any self respecting individual tolerating such abhorrent treatment. In firms with a professional standard, this would never happen but I suppose this occurs in SSgA because they have no concern for their reputation or customers.
If you can't get your complaint through to State Street, trying filing a complaint with the World Gold Council.
Who do you think the World Gold Council will side with? Their business partner of 10 years or a bunch of random worthless old farts? You old farts need to go choke on your meds.
Are they still pulling this garbage on people?
I have since been told by colleagues that 'Brian' likely forgot to put me on mute while putting me on speaker for his 'buddies'.
... More
GLD has much more problems than low quality employees.
The only problem we have is too many rancid old farts calling in. All these rancid old farts should be confined to some nursing home.
You're right, no good animals like these State Street employees are everywhere these days. The bigger issue is State Street's history of fraud and what they are doing behind GLD.
I've gotten some of the sloppiest responses from State Street. You're right about them not being very serious about what they do.
I've never had too much problems contacting them outside of a few disconnected calls.
So what if we don't give a rats #$%$ about some inane questions from rancid old farts like you? What are you going to do about it you old piece of s**t? Nothing. Now go crawl back to your assisted living facility.
The reps I got never even sounded sure of the answers they were giving me. I wouldn't waste your breath talking to them.
We don't have to care about what a couple of wrinkly old bags think. You old farts should be confined to your nursing homes like the furniture you are.
During one of my calls, there were quite a few people casually chatting and eating in the background. The background chatter became so loud that it sounded like they were throwing a party. These people are truly as unprofessional as you think they are.
Get it through your senile disease addled brains, no one cares. We can treat you old farts like the trash you are and do whatever else we want. Old farts like you need to learn your place in this world - at the bottom.
Yea no kidding. I caught them screwing around in a similar way when I called in with some questions. They do sound a bit young but it's no excuse.
It must suck being a rancid old fart. At the end of your life and ugly as sin. It is a good thing we don't have to see your ugly old mug over at SSgA. You ugly old #$%$ can only call us after all.
Good luck trying to get these complaints to State Street. I tried for a while but kept getting the same clowns that undermined my attempts to speak to their manager when they were having difficulties keeping some of their documents up to date. These people are a joke.
You assume State Street has integrity. I have reason to believe their entire organization is full of morally bankrupt characters. They deliberately ignore all complaints so I would speak with the other organizations under GLD about any problems with State Street.
You old farts are nothing more than furniture. Shouldn't wrinkly old sacks like you be getting back to your nursing homes? I hear they're missing some furniture.
"these people are a joke" ........ and getting away with it !

Reports out since Monday note that the United States Department of Defense will seek to have criminal charges brought against Bilal Hussein, an Associated Press photographer who belonged to a team that won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for photographs of the war in Iraq. Hussein's contribution to the package included a series of arresting photographs of close up fighting from the assault on Falluja.
The story was first broken by a right-wing blogger who has has been used as a regular dissemination point for information about the case by senior Pentagon figures. That fact is one of the dead give-aways of the case. This blogger and several of her associates published histrionic attacks on Hussein before he was arrested, claiming that his photographs showed that he was associated with insurgent organizations and attacking the Pulitzer Committee for its decision to honor the A.P.'s submission of war photographs. In the end, the order to arrest Hussein came from very high up, and the reason for the arrest was unmistakable: he was the man who took those damned photographs!
A Pentagon source who requested anonymity advised me that the Pentagon has prepared a total of nine charges against Hussein. All but two of the charges are "make weight," the source said. The two "more serious accusations" are that Hussein promised to help an individual suspected of involvement in insurgent activities to secure a false I.D., and that his photographs—disseminated internationally by the A.P.–demonstrate that Hussein is a propagandist for insurgents. The source said all of these allegations, excepting perhaps the claims about the I.D., were "extremely weak" and "lacked any meaningful evidence to support them" but noted that "after more than a year and a half of holding this man in prison, it was not possible simply to release him, because that would mean admitting that a mistake was made."
The source also stated that the Pentagon's public affairs division, now headed by Dorrance Smith, had been deeply engaged in the matter from the outset. He said that the Pentagon would say that all decisions were made on the ground in Baghdad. "In a formal sense that is true, but Baghdad is dancing to the Pentagon's tune." The source also stated that using right-wing bloggers as a means of disseminating the story was a strategy formally embraced by Pentagon public affairs at a very high level. "They're natural allies. Our message is their message. And they have no particular interest in fact-checking. It drives the mainstream media nuts." He likened the right-wing blogosphere to sheep dogs who would keep the American mainstream media in line.
The Associated Press and its lawyers have previously investigated all specific allegations made against Hussein. In every case, the allegations turned out to be baseless. I examined several of the allegations myself, and learned in the process that the U.S. military had not even investigated the accusations it dished out. Similarly, the Associated Press undertook a review of all of the Hussein photographs and concluded that a series of claims made by right-wing bloggers and the Pentagon about them were simply untrue. Much of this could be established through contemporaneous and conclusive evidence.
With respect to the accusation about I.D.s, my own experience in Baghdad showed that fake I.D.s were readily available in the public market and that most if not all Iraqis had them. The demand for fake I.D.s has an obvious source. Sunni Iraqis are eager to have identification that shows them to be Shi'ia and vice versa in order to try to evade ethnic cleansing operations that target a large part of the citizenry. The charge leveled at Hussein, if true, is therefore something of which a large part of the population is guilty.
Finally, U.S. forces have repeatedly insinuated that Hussein had close ties to a particular insurgent organization based in Al-Anbar province. No serious evidence has been presented to support this claim. However, the organization they cite is not considered to be hostile by U.S. forces in the region today. In fact, it has regularly cooperated with U.S. forces, and is now receiving training and equipment support from the Americans. It is in fact one of the key pillars in the U.S. military's successful transformation of the situation in Al-Anbar. So the implication that Hussein is somehow an insurgent is also consciously deceitful.
It is also striking that the Pentagon says that Hussein attempted to "infiltrate" the Associated Press. Having studied in great detail the process by which Hussein came to be hired, I know this is an absurd allegation. But it has a clear provenance. Former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and some of his key Neoconservative advisors repeatedly leveled this accusation in the period 2004-06. As you will recall, this is the period in which Iraq was most emphatically not in a "Civil War," according to the Pentagon (though not according to the generals on the ground in Iraq). The situation on the ground in Iraq was souring, American media were reporting on it, and this was emerging as a domestic political issue. The Pentagon was eager to chill media coverage of the insurgency.
There is probably no journalist in Iraq who did more to provide dramatic coverage of the insurgency in Al-Anbar than Bilal Hussein. This is why he was seized, and it is why he is now coming to face charges. But in the end, the facts couldn't be plainer. The Pentagon's real gripe has never been with journalists on the ground like Hussein: it has been with the editors who allow their reporting to creep into the American mainstream.
It is in the end about freedom of the press, and the right of the American public to secure more comprehensive coverage of what is happening in a war zone.
"The press is not the enemy," Secretary Gates recently told the graduating class of midshipmen in Annapolis. But the treatment of Bilal Hussein suggests this message has still not sunk in with some Pentagon politicos. Part of the press is very clearly still being viewed as "the enemy." And Bilal Hussein has become the whipping boy.

From the April 2015 issue
Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in cell-to-cell communication. Recently, EVs have been shown to be involved in immune modulation, tumor biology, and tissue regeneration. The mechanisms of action of EVs are associated with their ability to stimulate target cells directly and to transfer proteins, biologically active lipids, and nucleic acids to the target cells. In fact, mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) can be compartmentalized into EVs, escape enzymatic degradation, and be delivered to target cells. This horizontal transfer of extracellular RNAs carried by EVs can induce epigenetic alterations in recipient cells. The result is a change of phenotype or even a genetic and functional reprogramming of the recipient cells. Furthermore, EVs carry a selection of miRNAs different from the miRNAs most expressed in the cells of origin. However, little is known about the mechanisms of miRNA enrichment in EVs.
We hypothesized a possible interaction between the Alix and Argonaute 2 (Ago2) proteins. The resulting complex may have a role in miRNA transport into EVs. Ago2 is a reasonable candidate to play a role in miRNA packaging within multivesicular bodies during EV biogenesis because of its central role in miRNA maturation. We observed that Ago2, as well as several other ribonucloproteins involved in RNA storage and stability, is expressed in EVs derived from adult human liver stem-like cells (HLSCs). Cells which express mesenchymal and embryonic markers.
Alix is a multifunctional protein commonly used as a marker of EVs. It is an accessory protein of the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT), and several studies indicate that ESCRT is involved in the biogenesis of EVs.
We observed that HLSC-derived EVs express both Alix and Ago2. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments with Alix or Ago2 antibody showed that the two proteins are associated. We also found that the miRNAs enriched in HLSC-EVs precipitate with the Alix – Ago2 complex. After the incubation of HLSC-EVs with human endothelial cells, we observed that miRNAs from HLSC-EVs are transferred to these cells.
After the silencing of Alix expression in HLSCs, we observed the absence of both Alix and Ago2 proteins in EVs derived from the knockdown HLSCs and a strong reduction in the number of miRNAs normally enriched in HLSC-EVs. On the other hand, EV size, surface expression of CD63 and Tsg101, and the number of released EVs were not affected. After incubation with endothelial cells, EVs derived from Alix-knockdown HLSC do not transfer miRNAs to cells.
Alix is known to be involved in endocytic membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal remodeling. It is also associated with the ESCRT machinery, which participates in processes of vesiculation and cargo sorting, including multivesicular body biogenesis. Our data suggest that Alix binds Ago2 and drives it into EVs together with the associated miRNAs.
This might be a general mechanism of miRNA transport into EVs, common to other cell types. Enrichment of a selected set of miRNAs might also depend on the affinity of miRNAs for carrier proteins such as Ago2.

Members of the Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium have recently elucidated a mechanism through which hypoxia leads to increased tumor aggressiveness and metastasis. Anil Sood and his group at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a miRNA that downregulates the very pathway responsible for miRNA biogenesis, a finding that should generate excitement due to the identification of a potential new way of treating cancers: through miRNA or RNA interference-based gene targeting.
The development of tumors is a complex process that involves the cooperation of cancer cells with non-cancer cells, together making up the tumor microenvironment that is vital for tumor survival. As tumors grow and become dense, they begin signaling for the formation of new blood vessels to bring oxygen and nutrients to their core, a process called angiogenesis. Inhibiting angiogenesis is thus a highly attractive therapeutic avenue and is typically accomplished through the targeting of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the subsequent induction of hypoxia, or a condition of low oxygen, in the tumor. Hypoxia, however, comes with its own set of problems.
The recent study suggests that hypoxia itself can lead to an increase in the aggressiveness and metastatic potential of a tumor (Rupaimoole et al, 2016). Previous studies have found that hypoxic conditions lead to the downregulation of Drosha and Dicer, two components of the miRNA biogenesis pathway, and that this decrease in expression is associated with poor clinical outcomes through a decrease in the pool of miRNA present in the tumor. In investigating the root cause of Dicer downregulation, Sood and his team identified a miRNA, miR-630, that is upregulated during hypoxia and that targets the 3' UTR of Dicer. The study validated this targeting by monitoring Dicer mRNA and protein levels both in cells and in vivo in mouse models. Mice that had miR-630 delivered to them via nanoliposomes developed larger tumors and metastases in more places than control mice.
Of particular importance, the researchers treated mice with a combination of anti-miR-630 or anti-VEGF therapy (bevacizumab). Mice that were treated with both bevacizumab and anti-miR-630 developed smaller tumors and fewer metastatic nodules compared with mice treated with bevacizumab alone; Dicer expression was rescued upon treatment with anti-miR-630.
Apart from furthering our understanding of Dicer regulation during cancer, this research demonstrates the potential of treating cancers with anti-miRNA therapies, which would be particularly useful in situations where antibodies or chemical agents are not able to reach a target.
The potential of extracellular vesicle (EV) RNA as biomarkers of disease is increasingly being recognized. Circulating extracellular RNAs can potentially indicate the presence of disease without the need for an invasive biopsy of diseased tissue. A recent study by Yuan et al (Scientific Reports, Jan 2016) performed a systematic analysis of circulating exRNA in plasma obtained from 50 healthy individuals and 142 cancer patients. The authors conducted the largest RNA sequencing study reported to date for profiling circulating extracellular RNA (exRNA) species in order to provide useful insights into their baseline expression level. High-throughput multivariate statistical analysis identified a set of RNA candidates that were associated with age, sex, and cancer type.
The study directly addressed a major challenge in the field of exRNA, namely the lack of a baseline reference to accurately determine RNA abundance. Currently qRT-PCR is the most common method used to quantitate gene expression, but it relies on well-established reference controls for normalization. However, information on reference controls has not been established for exRNA. Control RNAs used for normalization in qRT-PCR experiments of cellular RNA cannot be reliably used for exRNA. Exogenous spike-in RNAs such as those derived from species like C. elegans cannot be used to normalize across biological or pathological states. Here the authors surveyed a pool of almost 200 exRNA profiles to identify a few potential reference candidates for exRNA quantification. Most candidate were miRNAs like miR-99a-5p. The study also provided convincing evidence for the presence in plasma of species of RNA other than miRNA, such as piwiRNA (see figure).
The dataset generated by this study is available in the exRNA Atlas for other researchers to explore. Future studies will be needed to validate these findings; however, with the current study we have taken a big leap towards the goal of determining the biomarker potential of exRNA for human diseases.

It's time to walk the walk and get creative about data
Why do people still treat data and creativity as if they are two separate streams, running in parallel but never quite meeting?
Google's 'enterprise value' surpasses Apple's by $8bn, analyst claims
Google, and not Apple, is now the world's most valuable technology company - if you use the less common 'enterprise value' rather than market capitalisation.
Google, and not Apple, is now the world's most valuable technology company. That's according to a financial pundit who has calculated Apple and Google's respective worths using the less common 'enterprise value' rather than market capitalisation, which still puts Apple top.
Moneybeat's Rolfe Winkler made the call in an article on Tuesday, in which he wrote that while the market capitalisations of the companies remain tilted in Apple's favour (Apple has a market cap of US$378bn while Google is barely worth notice on a mere $286bn), the enterprise values - calculated by removing each firm's cash holdings - puts Google ahead.
"The market [capitalisations] of both companies are swelled by their huge bank accounts," Winkler argues. "Strip out Apple's $145 billion of net cash as of March, and Google's $45 billion. This leaves an enterprise value of $233 billion for Apple, but $241 billion for Google, reflecting the underlying value of the companies' actual operations."
In essence this alternative metric is designed to measure the companies' activity rather than their static worth; the value of their operations rather than their bank accounts. Winkler tries to explain the choice of measurement with an analogy:
"Another way to think about it: If you bought a house for $378,000, but there was $145,000 of cash lying on the living room floor, all you really paid was a net $233,000."
But we're not sure that's terribly helpful for the financially illiterate like us.
As Winkler also notes, Apple recently lost its overall title as world's most valuable company in any field to the oil giant Exxon Mobil. It's been a difficult year for Apple in terms of share price, even though its actual performance has remained strong; some pundits have pointed to the relative lack of big product announcements this year, although big things are expected in autumn.

Lords of Football game lets you control players' on and off field behaviour
A football simulator game is about to hit stores that lets PC gamers control the antics of players both on and off the pitch. Be it attending that new nightclub or going home with the wrong woman, the decisions you make in Lords of Football will have a direct effect on match day performance.
Despite being paid thousands of pounds a week, a Premier League match only takes up a small percentage of a footballer's time. The rest (we imagine) is spent driving fast cars, drinking champagne and taking out another super injunction - aspects game developer Geniaware has touched on in Lords of Football.
"Pushing the limits of acceptable behaviour from players is a feature we're really proud of in Lords of Football," says Sean Griffiths, development director at Geniaware.
"If you don't keep on top of a player's night time endeavours, they have the potential to go off the rails. It's your job to manage the team, but also to manage their egos. Nothing comes as close to simulating the highs of on-the pitch action and the headaches of off-the-pitch indiscretions as Lords of Football."
Former Italian international and Premier League superstar footballer Gianluca Vialli has advised Geniaware, so we assume the game will give us a realistic insight into what a footballer's life is really like. Warts and all.
Geniaware has said Lords of Football will be available on the PC "soon".

This invention relates to a light information recording medium for recording information using a light beam of high energy density and also to a method of recording and reading the light information using the light information recording medium.
Known recording materials for recording information using a light beam of high energy density, such as laser, include thermal recording materials in addition to light sensitive materials using silver salts.
In the thermal recording material, the recording layer has a high optical density and absorbs an irradiated light beam of high energy density causing a local temperature increase which causes thermal deformation such as melting, evaporation and aggregation accordingly, the irradiated portions are removed and change in optical character such as forming a difference in optical density from the unirradiated portions whereby the light information is recorded. Such a thermal recording medium is desirable because the recording material does not need processings such as development and fixing. Further, use of such a recording material does not require work in a dark room since it is not sensitive to ordinary room light. In addition, the recording material provides an image having a high contrast, and it is possible to add information to the recording material.
In general, such a thermal recording material is frequently recorded by converting information to be recorded into electric time series signals and scanning the recording material with a laser beam the intensity of which is modulated according to the signals. This method is desirable because recorded images are obtained at real time.
Since thermal recording material has the unique features as described above, the application of the recording material to various uses such as, for example, substitution for lithographic printing films, fascimile recording materials, photomasks for integrated circuit (IC), microfilms, etc., has been attempted and a part of these applications are now used in practice. Because of having various uses and applications, such recording materials have been actively developed and investigated by many technical groups and various materials such as metals, plastics, dyes, etc., have been proposed as the materials for the recording layers. These materials are practically described in, for example, M. L. Levene et al., Electron Ion and Laser Beam Technology, the record of the lith Symposium (1969), Electronics, page 50 (Mar. 18, 1968); D. Maydan, The Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. 50 pages, 1761 (1971); C. O. Carlson, Science, Vol. 154 page, 1550 (1966), U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,291,119, 4,216,501, 4,233,626 and 4,188,214, and British Pat. No. 2,026,346.
In these known techniques, it can be said that every effort has been made to improve the recording sensitivity of the recording materials. Efforts made toward improving the sensitivity of recording materials when using thin metal layers are summarized below.
Recording materials using a thin layer of a metal such as Bi, Sn, In, Al, Cr, etc., have excellent properties such as high resolving power and high contrast. However, many of these recording materials have a light reflectance to laser light of higher than 50% and thus the energy of laser light cannot be effectively utilized by these recording materials. Therefore, the light energy required for recording is large and a laser light source of a high output power is required for recording high-speed scanning, thereby the recording device becomes larger and expensive.
Accordingly, various recording materials having a high recording sensitivity have been investigated. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,560,994 describes a recording layer composed of Se, Bi and Ge layers. In this case, the layer of Ge reduces the light reflectance of the layer of Bi to irradiated light, and also the layer of Se is an easily evaporating layer and accelerates the thermal deformation of the Bi layer which is the main recording layer, and the resulting recording layer can record a light information with less energy than when a layer of Bi is used alone. Furthermore, a layer for reducing or preventing light reflection is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,335,198 and Japanese patent publication No. 14,262/'76. Also, a layer for reducing the thermal conductivity provided between a recording layer and a support is described in Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 12,637/'75 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,911,444. Furthermore, a recording layer composed of a certain kind of metal sulfide, metal fluoride, or metal oxide and a metal as a mixture thereof or as a double layer of them is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,188,214. Still further, a recording layer composed of a mixture of an inorganic material and an organic material is also disclosed in Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 5742/'79 invented by inventors including some of the inventors of the present application.
As summarized above, various efforts have been made with respect to high sensitization alone and some of such recording materials have been improved to the stage of practical usefulness. The systems which use these recording materials and the circumferential techniques thereof have also progressed in regard to not only the recording materials used for new applications but also the recording materials used for the foregoing conventional purposes. Better properties continue to be required for both new and old applications. In particular, when using a thermal recording material for a new application, such as an optical disc memory, the requirement for better properties is very strong and it is substantially difficult to meet these requirements using conventional recording materials as described above.
The main properties of recording materials required for an optical disc memory are as follows:
(1) the recording material has a high sensitivity enabling high-speed data writing,
(2) reflection reading or information is preferred for simplifying the optical system and thus the recording layer must have a high light reflectance for realizing the above requirement,
(3) the recording material has chemical stability capable of stably retaining the record information for a long period of time (i.e., archival property of at least 10 years),
(4) the recording material has a high resolving power capable of making high density recording,
(5) the recording material gives recorded bits of good form for increasing the S/N ratio at reading (for the purpose, ununiformity in granularity of recording layer, etc., is undesirable),
(6) the recording material is excellent in production aptitude (for example, the evaporation speed during vapor deposition is stable, and also decomposition, etc., do not occur during vapor deposition), and
(7) materials used for the recording material are nontoxic.
There are also many other properties required for such recording materials which are not listed above. Of the foregoing properties, the property (1), i.e., the high sensitivity generally conflicts with the property (2), the high reflectance. Also, it is generally difficult to satisfy the properties such as long stability, nontoxicity, etc., using materials having a relatively high sensitivity, such as a thin Te layer. Also, for high sensitivity, a low-melting metal such as In, Sn, etc., is considered to be preferred but in the case of a one component thin layer or such a metal, the thin layer is liable to take a island-like structure and hence it is difficult to satisfy the property (5) with such a material.
As described above, the materials used for optical disc memory are required to have the very best possible properties and in fact, materials simultaneously satisfying such properties as high sensitivity, long preservability and nontoxicity have not yet been discovered.
Under these circumstances, the inventors have carried out investigations in order to develop thermal recording materials satisfying the aforesaid properties, in particular, thermal recording materials suitable for use as an optical disc memory. During the investigations, it has been discovered that the foregoing properties (1) to (7) are considerably improved by using a recording layer composed of a metal and a non-metallic material formed by simultaneous vapor deposition of the materials as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,188,214, etc. However, the materials disclosed in the foregoing patent application are not said to have sufficient properties and materials which can satisfy simultaneously the high sensitivity and long stability had at that time not yet been found. Also, Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 124,134/'81 discloses an optical recording medium obtained by vapor-depositing In and SiO2 on a support at the SiO2 content of 40-60 vol % based on the total volume of In and SiO2. However, this recording medium is not desirable because the energy of the laser required for recording is too large and thus a sufficiently high recording speed is not obtained at recording.
The present inventions have discovered a composition and layer thickness of a recording layer having a higher sensitivity than that of foregoing optical recording media and which has the foregoing properties required for an optical disc memory.
A primary object of this invention is to provide a recording medium for an optical disc memory which is particularly excellent in its recording sensitivity with respect to laser light, has a long preservability and high resolving power, as well as high S/N ratio at reading. In addition, the recording medium for a optical disc can be made at a low cost.
The invention provides a light information recording medium comprising a support having formed thereon a recording layer containing In and SiO2. The medium is used for the recording and reading of information introduced by laser light from the support side. The medium is characterized in that the SiO2 content is 10-35 vol % based on the total volume of In and SiO2. In a preferred embodiment of the light information recording medium of this invention, the thickness of the recording layer is 200-600 Å.
This invention also provides a light information recording and reading method using the foregoing recording medium.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the write threshold values of the samples prepared in Example; and
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the reduction in optical density by a forcible deterioration test.
For satisfying factor (3) of the above-described properties required for optical disc memory, a material which is not easily dissolved in water or oxidized is preferred. For satisfying factor (1), a material which exhibits a high light absorptive faculty in as thin a layer as possible and which is likely to melt upon absorption of laser light is preferred. As such a material, In which has a low melting point (157� C.) and which resists oxidation is suitable. However, In has a high light reflectance. Accordingly, sufficient sensitivity can not be obtained by using In alone. By mixing In with SiO2 having a low light reflectance and good stability, the light reflectance of the combination is decreased and the laser recording sensitivity is increased. However, it must be noted that if the SiO2 content is too large, the sensitivity of the mixture is conversely reduced due to the high melting point (2230� C.) of SiO2.
In an effort to eliminate these faults, Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 124,134/'81 describes that by mixing In with SiO2 having a high chemical stability at the SiO2 content of 40-60 vol %, the sensitivity is increased, the vapor-deposited layer does not have graininess, and a reproduced signal having a high S/N ratio is obtained. However, as the result of further investigating the technique described in the above patent application in detail, the present inventors have concluded that it is difficult to obtain the satisfactory sensitivity and resolving power in the technical range disclosed in the patent application.
The reason is considered to be as follows. In the proposed technique, the SiO2 content is relatively large (higher than 40 vol %) in order to remove the graininess of the vapor-deposited layer and obtain a good reproduced signal. Because of the large content of SiO2, however, when a thin layer (thinner than 1,000 Å) is made of the mixture, the optical density is reduced and the sensitivity is lowered. It is believed that to improve the recording sensitivity and obtain a reproduced signal having a good S/N signal it is necessary to increase the thickness of the layer (beyond 1,000 Å). This causes an increase in optical density preventing a reduction in sensitivity. That is, the foregoing patent application indicates that the optimum composition and layer thickness are 40-60 vol % SiO2 and thicker than 1,000 Å, respectively, for providing a layer quality having no graininess on the surface of the vapor-deposited layer and having good recording sensitivity. In other words, since the SiO2 content is increased in order to obtain a layer quality having no graininess, the sensitivity of the recording layer is reduced. Therefore, the thickness of the recording layer is inevitably increased above 1,000 Å in order to increase the sensitivity. However, when this is done, the resolving power is inferior and a sufficient sensitivity is not obtained merely by increasing the layer thickness.
Therefore, the present inventors made a more detailed investigation over a wider range of the technical ranges disclosed in the foregoing Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 124,134/'81 in order to obtaining a recording medium having good sensitivity, and resolving power. The present inventors have found that when using a relatively thin layer (thickness of thinner than 1,000 Å) the recording sensitivity is greatly increased in a different composition range of SiO2 than that disclosed in the aforesaid patent application. Practically, the SiO2 content should be 10-35 vol %. However, when the composition is in the range of 10-35 vol %, the surface of the recording layer has a graininess as indicated by the inventors of the foregoing patent application. Therefore, after recording, when a laser light read is performed from the vapor-deposited layer side, the reproduced signal is greatly inferior to that when the SiO2 content is higher than 40 vol %.
Therefore, the inventors made various investigations with respect to improving the S/N ratio of the reproduced signal. The present inventors observed the vapor-deposited layer which showed graininess at the exposed surface (opposite to support side) of the layer from the transparent support side and also closely observed the surface (support side) of the vapor-deposited layer peeled apart from the support by means of a mylar tape. As a result of these observations it has been discovered that the absence of graininess is unexpectedly observed at the surface (support side) of the vapor-deposited layer. The absence of graininess gives an expectation that if recording and reading are performed by the incidence of laser light from the support side, the S/N ratio of the reduced signal will be good and by performing the test practically, good results could be obtained. Thus the present invention has been achieved.
More specifically, the present invention is based on the two discoveries that even when a vapor-deposited layer has graininess in the surface opposite to the support side, there is no graininess at the interface between the base plate and the vapor-deposited layer and that the laser sensitivity of a vapor-deposited layer is greatly increased in the layer composition different from a conventional composition at a thickness of the vapor-deposited layer thinner than 1,000 Å. In other words, the invention is a light information recording medium comprising a support having formed thereon a recording layer containing In and SiO2, which performs recording and reading of information by laser light from the support side, characterized in that the SiO2 content in the recording layer is 10-35 vol % based on the total volume of In and SiO2.
Also, in the light information recording material of this invention, it is preferred that the thickness of the recording layer be 200-600 Å.
This invention, further, relates to a light information recording and reading method which comprises recording on the foregoing light recording material by striking the recording material with laser light from the support side thereof and reading the recorded information by striking laser light from the support side thereof.
In this invention, by reducing the SiO2 content as described above and relatively reducing the thickness of the recording layer as in the foregoing preferred embodiment, the sensitivity of the recording layer can be greatly increased as compared to that of conventional recording media. These properties will be understood from the Example which will be described later as well the fact that information can be recorded at a high resolving power by recording thereon with laser light from the support side and also the recorded information can be reproduced at a high S/N ratio by reading the record from the support side.
Writing and reading from the support side are particularly preferred in the case of a so-called air sandwich type structure wherein two supports each having the recording layer are fixed to each other, the recording layers thereof facing with each other, with an air gap between the recording layers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,074,282 herein incorporated by reference, and in this case, various merits such as both side recording being possible, etc., can be obtained. The invention is particularly preferably applied to such a construction of recording material.
In this invention the SiO2 content is defined as 10-35 vol %, and the thickness of the recording layer is defined as 200-600 Å in the preferred embodiment. These proportions are maintained for the following reasons:
(1) As will be understood from the Example described later, the sensitivity of the recording layer is particularly improved in the range of 10-35 vol % SiO2. When the SiO2 content is reduced below 10 vol %, turbidity is liable to occur at the interface between the vapor-deposited layer and the support reducing the S/N ratio at reading.
(2) If the thickness of the recording layer is less than 200 Å, the light absorptivity is low and the sensitivity is reduced. If the thickness is greater than 600 Å, the sensitivity and resolving power are reduced.
Examples of support materials used in this invention include plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate and copolymers thereof, polycarbonate, etc., and glass.
In order to form the recording layer of this invention, In and SiO2 are simultaneously vapor deposited using a resistance heating vapor evaporation source for In and an electron gun for SiO2 in a vacuum chamber, wherein the vapor evaporation sources are isolated each other using a partition plate so as to accurately monitor each vapor evaporation speed. The mixing ratio of both components is controlled by disposing a quartz oscilation type layer thickness monitor for each vapor evaporation source in vicinity to a support and adjusting each vapor evaporation speed by controlling electric powers applied to the vapor evaporation sources.
In order to further improve the sensitivity of the recording layer of this invention and improve the adhesion between the recording layer and a support, a proper interlayer may be formed between the recording layer and the support by coating, vapor-deposition, etc. Example of preferred materials used for such an interlayer include halogenated polyolefin, halogenated polyhydroxystyrene, chlorinated rubber, nitrocellulose, etc., as well as a non-metallic inorganic material such as SiO and SiO2. The proper thickness of the interlayer is 0.05-5 μm.
In the recording material of this invention, a protective layer composed of an inorganic material or an organic material may be formed on the foregoing recording layer formed on a support. The formation of a protective layer on the recording layer is effective for improving durability of the recording material, the mechanical strength of the recording material, the shelf life of the recording material, etc. The formation of such a protective layer is, as a matter of course, one of the preferred embodiments of this invention.
As the protective layer, an inorganic material or an organic material may be used as described above. The material is required to have good permeability with respect to a light beam having high energy used for recording and reading, have high mechanical strength, have less reactivity with the recording layer, have good coating properties, and easily form the protective layer.
Preferred examples of the inorganic materials used for making the protective layer of this invention are transparent inorganic materials such as Al2 O3, SiO2, SiO, MgO, ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, MgF2 and CuF2, with Al2 O3, SiO2, ZrO2 and TiO2 being preferred. The protective layer of the inorganic material may be formed by sputtering, ion plating, etc.
It is also preferred to use organic materials for the protective layer. Examples of useful organic materials used for such a protective layer include various resins or polymers such as epoxy resins, styrenic resins, e.g., polystyrene, styrene-maleic anhydride resin, etc.; vinylic resins, e.g., polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl formal, etc.; methacrylic acid ester series resins, e.g., isobutyl polymethacrylate, methyl polymethacrylate, etc.; amide series resins, e.g., polydiacetonacrylamide, polyacrylamide, etc.; cellulose series resins, e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate lactate, cellulose nitrate, diacetyl cellulose, etc.; halogenated polyolefins, e.g., polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, etc.; phenol resins; soluble polyesters; soluble nylons; gelatin; etc., and copolymers of them. Of these, epoxyl resins, methacrylic acid ester series resins and amide series resins are preferably used. These resins are dissolved in various solvents and may be coated as the solution thereof by a known coating method.
Various kinds of solvents can be used for the foregoing purpose. Examples of the solvents include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve acetate, ethyl cellosolve acetate, butyl cellosolve acetate, hexane, cyclohexane, ethylene chloride, methylene chloride, benzene, chlorobenzene, methanol, ethanol, butanol, petroleum ether, dimethylformamide and thinner. The solvent is selectively used according to the resin used for the protective layer.
The resins described above may contain pigments, matting agents, plasticizers, lubricants, etc., according to the purpose of the protective layer, and in particular, the addition of 0.1-1.0% by weight of higher fatty acid having not less than 11 carbon atoms or an acid amide thereof is effective for improving the surface strength of the recording material. The higher fatty acid or acid amide may also be coated on the protective layer to a thickness of 0.001-1 μm in an ordinary manner.
The optimum thickness of the protective layer used in this invention may be selected according to the layer strength, shelf life, recording sensitivity, etc., required for the recording material. However, it is particularly preferably for the layer to have a thickness of 0.01-200 μm.
Another embodiment of the protective layer involves forming the layer in such a manner that an air gap is formed between the recording layer and the protective layer as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,074,282 herein incorporated by reference. In this embodiment two supports each having the recording layer are fixed with a sealing member between them and with the recording layers in a face-to-face relationship. According to this embodiment both side recording is possible. This embodiment is one of the optimum embodiments of this invention when it is necessary to record a large amount of information with an optical memory disc.
The recording material of this invention is most suitable for optical disc memory as described above. However, the invention is not limited to this use and can be used as substitute for lithographic printing films, as facsimile recording materials, IC photomasks, microfilms, etc.
The invention will now be practically described in the following example.
On a polyethylene terephthalate support 100 μm thick were simultaneously vapor-deposited SiO2 and In under a vacuum of 5�10-5 Torr using a resistance heating vapor evaporation source for In and an electron gun for SiO2. The mixing ratio of these components was controlled by disposing a quartz oscillation type layer thickness monitor for each vapor-evaporation source and controlling each vapor deposition speed with monitoring it.
In the manner described above, recording media each having a layer thickness of 200 Å, 400 Å, 600 Å and 1,000 Å with the SiO2 content of 10-75% were obtained.
For purposes of comparison, the same procedure as above was carried out except that a different resistance heating evaporation source was used for each metal and compound. Accordingly, there were prepared recording media each having a mixed layer of Sn and SnS or a mixed layer of In and SnS (layer thickness of 500 Å and SnS content of 20 vol %) as described in Japanese Patent (OPI) No. 20821/'77.
The writing threshold value of each medium having a mixed layer of In and SiO2 was measured using an Ar laser. The results are shown in FIG. 1. When the thickness of the recording layer was less than 600 Å, the recording medium had the minimum value at about the SiO2 content of 10-35 vol %. The value was lower than that of the recording material having the layer thickness of 1,000 Å disclosed in Japanese patent application (OPI) No. 124,134/'81. It was also found that the value was the same as or lower than that of the recording medium having the mixed layer of Sn and SnS.
Furthermore, the recording medium having a mixed layer of In and SiO2 (layer thickness of 400 Å and SiO2 content of 25 vol %) and the recording medium having the mixed layer of Sn and SnS were placed in a chamber maintained at a temperature of 60� C. and a relative humidity of 90%. The change in optical density with the passage of time was then measured. The results are shown in FIG. 2. As is understood from the results, the recording medium having the mixed layer of In and SiO2 showed less reduction in optical density with the passage of time as compared to that of the recording medium having the mixed layer of Sn and SnS. Further when the recording medium having the mixed layer of In and SNS was subjected to the same forcible deterioration test, the formation of a large number of corrosion patterns was obserbed with the passage of time and thus the recording medium could not be practically used. On the other hand, the recording medium having the mixed layer of In and SiO2 was not accompanied by the formation of the foregoing corrosion patterns and the deterioration in surface state was not obserbed in the recording medium.
When the recorded information was read by striking laser light from the support side of the recording medium having the mixed layer of In and SiO2, the S/N ratio was good. Further, when the vapor-deposited layer was peeled apart by means of a mylar tape and the surface (support side) of the vapor-deposited layer was observed by means of SEM, an island-like structure of the vapor-deposited layer was not observed and it was confirmed that the recording medium met the condition of a good S/N ratio.
When the recorded portion of the recording medium having a mixed layer of In and SiO2 was observed by means of SEM, bits of 1 micron were observed, which showed that the resolving power was sufficient.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
