U.S. will hold direct talks if Iran is earnest, Biden says
MUNICH The United States is prepared to hold direct talks with Iran in the standoff over its nuclear ambitions, Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday – but he insisted that Tehran must show it is serious and Washington won't engage in such talks merely "for the exercise."
During a trip to an international security conference in Germany, Biden also addressed Syria's civil war. He met with top Syrian opposition leader Moaz al-Khatib and with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia, a longtime ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Separately, al-Khatib met with Lavrov for the first time, offering a glimmer of hope for stalled diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, though the Russian minister later sounded skeptical.
Washington has indicated in the past that it's prepared to talk directly with Iran, and talks involving all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany have made little headway while several rounds of international sanctions have cut into Iran's oil sales and financial transactions.
Last month Iran, in a defiant move ahead of new talks expected soon with the six powers, announced plans to vastly increase its pace of uranium enrichment. That can be used to make both reactor fuel and the fissile core of warheads.
Biden told an international security conference that "there is still time, there is still space for diplomacy backed by pressure to succeed." He did not specify any timeframe.
He insisted "the ball is in the government of Iran's court" to show that it's negotiating in good faith.
Asked when Washington might hold direct talks with Tehran, Biden replied: "When the Iranian leadership, the supreme leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei), is serious."
The U.S. has long made clear that it is prepared to meet directly with the Iranian leadership, and Biden said, "that offer stands but it must be real and tangible and there has to be an agenda that they're prepared to speak to."

- Custom HoodsWhat Is The Procedure To Install A Hood Scoop?In the custom hoods section of our website, you'll find add-on hood air scoops that create an unmistakable look of power. Since the beginning of hot-rodding, racers have been fitting scoops onto their cars both for looks and function. Over the years, many high-performance muscle cars have even featured them as original equipment on top trim levels. Hood scoop openings can face forward in order to guide cool air into the engine, or the openings can face rearward to take advantage of the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. Whichever way they are positioned, airflow under the hood increases - a factor that improves both induction and heat ventilation to varying degrees.
- Custom HoodsWhat Are My Choices For Custom Hood Materials?An automobile hood is one of the body panels on your vehicle with the largest surface area, and it's the one panel you'll be looking at every minute you're behind the wheel. Considering this, maybe you find it as odd as we do that many vehicle manufacturers have chosen to make modern hood panels flat and boring, thanks in large part to the search for low wind resistance.

Jack Thorne to script "Sandman" Neil Gaiman comic book classic
February 27, 2014 - 18:24 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Jack Thorne has been set to script Sandman at Warner Bros based on the pitch that David Goyer made for his treatment for the Neil Gaiman comic book classic, Deadline said.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is producing with Goyer and the hope is for him to star and possibly direct. Gordon-Levitt made his feature directorial debut on the well-received Sundance pic Don Jon, but this would be a considerable step up in scope and scale. Gaiman is exec producer. Thorne scripted How I Live Now.
The Sandman series shifts between horror and fantasy, and the central character is Morpheus, the personification of dreams. After being held captive 70 years, Morpheus escapes, gains revenge and rebuilds his crumbling kingdom while trying to adapt to the times. Warner Bros has long tried to crack the subject matter, and there is optimism that Goyer did that.
Gordon-Levitt next stars in another seminal graphic novel-based film, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, which Robert Rodriguez and creator Frank Miller helmed.

pipsqueak1000 Review
These seem to be a combination of 50s diner style and futuristic space age furniture. Whichever it is I don't care, I just care that they look great in my kitchen. Like another reviewer said, the black is a little sparkly so they look great next to granite. They're about the same quality as similar stools I've seen in big box stores and these are little more expensive, but they have a bigger seat and I like the design better.

Family reunited with their dog TEN YEARS after it went missing when its owner put it in the back garden
- Chance the Staffordshire Bull Terrier disappeared from owner's back garden
- Decade later was found in an underpass and taken to dog's home
- Because of his age and his condition he was going to be put down
- Vet scanned him for a microchip and owner's name and address came up
A family's missing pet dog has been found 10 years after he disappeared - and in the nick of time, as he was a day from being put down.
The Staffordshire Bull terrier called Chance belonged to then 11-year-old schoolboy Sion Cox who was heartbroken when his pet vanished.
He and his mum Julie Coombes put posters on lamp posts hoping to find the loveable black and white terrier.
After disappearing for so long, Chance is now reunited with Sion and lives with him at his student flat in Cardiff
How Chance had spent the last 10 years since vanishing from Julie and Sion¿s garden in Barry, South Wales will always be a mystery
But as time passed they gave up hope of ever seeing three-year-old Chance again and bought another dog for Sion to play with.
But a decade later Chance was found weak and hungry in a city centre underpass and taken to a dog's home.
Because of his age and his condition he was going to be put down, but luckily a vet scanned him for a microchip and Julie's name and address came up.
Julie, 44, from Barry, South Wales, said: 'It was like something from a children's Disney movie.
'I had a phone call to say my dog had been found - I thought they'd made a mistake because we have two dogs and they were both in the house.
'Then they said it was a black and white Staffordshire - my heart leapt, I knew it was Chance.
Because of his age and his condition Chance was going to be put down - but a vet discovered his microchip
Julie said it was very emotional seeing him again after 10 years is certain he recognised his long-lost owners
'We went to the dog's home and recognised Chance straight away.
'And as soon as we said his name his ears pricked up as if he'd never forgotten us.'
How Chance had spent the last 10 years since vanishing from Julie and Sion's garden in Barry, South Wales, in May 2004 will always be a mystery.
Julie said: 'We bought him for Sion when Chance was seven weeks old. We had him neutered, microchipped, the full works.
'Three years later Sion when to school and I let him out in the garden, I went back out to let him in and he wasn't there.
'We knocked on doors, looked everywhere and advertised it on the internet and in local papers.
'We did hundreds of leaflets and we never heard a thing.'
The dog was found 20 miles away from home
Chance was found in a shopping centre underpass 20 miles away in Newport and taken to the city's Coronation Kennels.
Julie said: 'It was very emotional seeing him again after 10 years - but I am certain he recognised us.
'The dog's home told us he was in a bit of a sorry state and to prepare for the worst.
'He was due to be put down so it was a case of: 'Quick! Get him out of there!'
'There was no way we could let that happen so we took him back to where he belongs.'
Sion, now a 21-year-old criminology student at the University of Glamorgan in Cardiff, said: 'It's crazy - I never thought he would come back, at all.
'His back legs have gone, he's got a few things wrong with him, he's just been really neglected.
'But he's eating well and he loves going out for a walk.'
Chance has now moved in with Sion at his student flat in Cardiff.
He said: 'Every time I leave he cries, I can't leave him on his own. He's more than happy here though, he's pretty chilled out.
'I just want to keep him going as long as possible now. If that's six months, ten months or two years I want to give him the best life possible.'
A spokeswoman for the Coronation Kennels in Newport said: 'It's always nice to reunite a lost dog with its owner.
'Usually they've been apart for a few days or maybe a week or two - 10 years is incredible.'

The present invention relates to an optical information-recording medium capable of optical recording/reproduction of information and more specifically relates to an optical information-recording medium capable of optical recording/reproduction of electronic information and satisfactorily recording visible information on the label surface with use of a laser beam.
The significance of electronic information-recording media used for recording, storage and rewriting of a lot of information as computer peripherals is ever increasing in recent years. Of various types of such media, optical information recording media with which recording and reproduction are performed with use of a laser beam are attracting attention as large volume recording media due to their capability of high-density information recording, storage and reproduction. Examples of such optical information-recording media include those of phase-changing type represented by CD-RW and DVD-RW, and those based on organic dyes represented by CD-R and DVD-R.
The content of the electronic information recorded in such an optical information-recording medium can be confirmed via optical reproduction. On the other hand, it is also important, from the viewpoint of information management, to display the content of the electronic information on the surface of the medium as visible information. As such display methods, there have been conventionally adopted, for example, the method of printing and recording the electronic information content on the label surface of the medium (the surface opposite to the surface for recording electronic of information) with use of an inkjet printer or thermal printer, the method of attaching a label printed with the electronic information content. Of these and others, a method of recording visible information in the label surface of the medium with use of a laser beam (Patent Document 1), and a method of further attaching a sheet, on which letters are printed, on the recording layer for visible information (Patent Document 2) have been reported recently. Such methods are considered promising because they can record visible information without exerting any mechanical influence on the medium.
As shown in
Patent Document 1
Patent Document 2
Meanwhile, the method of recording visible information on the label surface of a medium with use of a laser beam utilizes changes such as reaction, fusing or deposition caused by heat. Accordingly, sufficient care must be taken for the laser irradiation method because excessive irradiation has a thermal influence on the electronic information having been recorded in the medium. To suppress such thermal influence on the medium, it is necessary to use a low power laser beam. When a low power laser beam is used, laser beam 208 is focused on visible information-recording layer 205 to effectively condense the energy of laser beam 208. Thus, recording with use of low power laser beam 208 becomes possible. To achieve such condensing, in the case where laser beam 208 emitted from the writer for electronic information recording is used, focus servo of laser beam 208 applied from the label surface side is carried out with use of reflected light 209, which is reflected from reflection layer 203 provided on electronic information-recording layer 202.
On the other hand, on visible information-recording layer 205, over-coating 206 constituting the outermost layer is provided. In order to efficiently apply laser beam 208 from the label surface side to visible information-recording layer 205 and to execute a stable focusing, a relatively thick over-coating 206 is preferred; specifically, the thickness of the over-coating preferably lies roughly in the range of 10 to 80 μm. Such over-coating 206 is fabricated, for example, with a UV-curable resin and the like via spin coating or screen printing.
When over coating 206 is formed by coating a UV-curable resin so as to cover the entire area of the label surface of optical information-recording medium 200 in such a manner, it is generally well known that the disk tends to bend by the stretching or compressive stress caused by the curing shrinkage of the UV-curable resin. For example, even a UV-curable resin with a low shrinking ratio and in general use shows shrinkage of 5 to 10%. When over-coating 206 with about 50 μm thickness is formed by using such a UV-curable resin, there occurs a risk of marked deflection of the disk. A method of compensating the resulting deflection by bending the disk in the reverse direction beforehand may be adopted, but such a method requires a precise control for the process of disk manufacture, accompanying disadvantages such as productivity deterioration.
The invention has been devised in order to solve the technical tasks which have become clear in the recording, with use of a low power laser beam, of visible information in a visible information-recording layer provided on the side of the label surface of an optical information-recording medium.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide an optical information-recording medium which exhibits a reduced deflection of the disk, and is capable of recording visible information on the label surface side by the irradiation of a low power laser beam with use of a laser unit for electronic information recording/reproduction without accompanying any adverse effect on the electronic information having been recorded in the medium.
In order to solve the aforesaid object, the invention is characterized by having the following arrangement.
a substrate; and
a visible information-recording layer formed on the substrate so that a region of the visible information-recording layer lays outside a circumference having a radius not less than half a radius of the substrate, wherein visible information is recorded in the visible information-recording layer with light applied from a label surface arranged opposite to a side of the substrate.
a substrate;
an electronic information-recording layer on the substrate in which digital information is recorded by the light applied from the side of the substrate;
a reflection layer on the electronic information-recording layer;
a visible information-recording layer on the reflection layer so that a region of the visible information-recording layer lays outside a circumference having a radius not less than half a radius of the substrate; and
an over-coating on the visible information-recording layer,
wherein visible information is recorded in the visible information-recording layer with light applied through the over-coating.
By way of confirmation, in the optical information-recording medium to which the invention is applied, the term "visible information" indicates information that can be read visually, including letters and signs, images such as illustrations or photographs, and geometric patterns, while the term "electronic information" means information whose content is read with a certain reproducing apparatus, including those recorded in digital form.
Incidentally, according to the invention, an arbitrary layer may be formed between the adjacent two layers. For example, dielectric layers may be formed on the electronic information-recording layer, a second reflection layer may be inserted between protective layer and visible information-recording layer, and a laser-transmitting layer may be formed between the second reflection layer and visible information-recording layer.
In the following, an optical information-recording medium according to an embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As is shown in
Substrate 101 is basically made of a material transparent to the recording and reproduction light for electronic information-recording layer 102. Such material for substrate 101 includes, for example, high molecular weight materials such as polycarbonate-based resin, acrylate-based resin, methacrylate-based resin, polystyrene resin, vinyl chloride resin, epoxy resin, polyester resin, and amorphous polyolefin resin, and inorganic materials such as glass and the like. In particular, polycarbonate resin is preferred since it shows a high transmittance to light and a low optical anisotropy, further excelling in mechanical strength. From the viewpoints of chemicals resistance, moisture absorption resistance and optical property, amorphous polyolefin is preferred.
In substrate 101, guiding grooves or pits for recording/reproduction purpose are formed in the surface in contact with electronic information-recording layer 102. These grooves or pits can be formed by various molding processes such as injection molding. It is desirable to fabricate such guiding grooves or pits at the step of molding substrate 101, but alternatively they may be fabricated with use of a UV-curable resin on substrate 101. The lower limit of the thickness of substrate 101 is usually 1.1 mm, and preferably 1.15 mm while the upper limit thereof is usually 1.3 mm and preferably 1.25 mm.
Electronic information-recording layer 102 is made of a material in which electronic information (information recorded in the form of digital signals and read by a certain reproduction unit) is recorded by the application of laser beam 107. Usually, recording layers are made of organic materials or inorganic ones. By way of precaution, electronic information-recording layer 102 may be provided on substrate 101 directly, or via an arbitrary layer provided between substrate 101 and electronic information-recording layer 102 depending on the need in use application.
In the case where electronic information-recording layer 102 is made of an organic material, an organic dye constitutes the main ingredient. Such an organic dye includes, for example, a macro-cyclic aza-anulene-based dye (phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine and porphyrin), a polymethine dye (cyanine, merocyanine and squalirium), an anthraquinone-based dye, an azulenium-based dye, an azo-based dye, a metal-containing azo-based dye, and a metal-containing indoaniline-based dye. Among these, metal-containing azo-based dyes, cyanine-based dyes and phthalocyanine-based dyes are preferred. In particular, metal-containing azo-based dyes are preferred due to their excellent durability and light-fastness.
As the method of forming electronic information-recording layer 102 made of an organic material, dry process thin film-forming methods such as vacuum vapor deposition and sputtering, and wet process thin film-forming methods that are generally prevailing such as cast coating, spin coating and immersion coating are cited. Of these, spin coating is particularly preferred from the view points of mass productivity and production cost.
When electronic information-recording layer 102 is formed as a recording layer made of an inorganic material, alloys of rare earth, transient metals such as Tb.Te.Co and Dy.Fe.Co, with which recording based on magnet-optical effect is carried out, are used. Further, chalcogenide alloys such as Ge.Te and Ge.Sb.Te which show a phase change can be used, too. Such recording layer may be of a monolayer configuration or consist of two or more layers.
As the method of forming electronic information-recording layer 102 made of an inorganic material, vapor deposition, ion plating and sputtering are cited. Of these, sputtering is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of mass productivity and production cost. With regard to the thickness of electronic information-recording layer 102, the lower limit is usually 5 nm, and preferably 10 nm while the upper limit is usually 500 nm, and preferably 300 nm although the thickness depends on the type of the recording layer. By way of precaution, electronic information-recording layer 102 of optical information recording medium 100 according to the present embodiment of the invention may be of a phase-changing type capable of recording/erasing.
Reflection layer 103 is provided on one side of electronic information-recording layer 102 opposed to substrate 101, and usually has a function of reflecting laser beam 107 applied from the side of substrate 101 back to the side of substrate 101. In the case where guiding grooves or pits for recording/reproduction purpose are formed in substrate 101, a concavo-convex structure corresponding to the grooves or pits is formed in reflection layer 103. As the material used for forming reflection layer 103, those having a sufficiently high reflectivity at the wavelength of the reproduction light are cited, including, for example, metals such as Au, Al, Ag, Cu, Ti, Cr, Ni, Pt, Ta and Pd. These metals may be used individually or as alloys. Of these metals, Au, Al and Ag are appropriate as the material for the reflection layer, since they have high reflectance. Moreover, compositions mainly comprising Ag are particularly preferred since the production cost is low and the reflectance is high.
As the method of forming reflection layer 103, vapor deposition, ion plating and sputtering are cited. Of these, sputtering is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of mass productivity and production cost. The lower limit for the thickness of reflection layer 103 is usually 30 nm, and preferably 50 nm while the upper limit is usually 150 nm, and preferably 120 nm.
Protective layer 104 is usually made of a material that transmits the laser light, exemplified by a UV-curable resin. Specific examples of the UV-curable resin include, for example, acrylate-based resins such as urethane acrylate, epoxy acrylate and polyester acrylate. Most of these materials can be appropriately used since they are transparent to the laser light. These UV-curable resins may be used individually or in combination of two or more thereof. Further, protective layer 104 maybe of monolayer structure or of multilayer one comprising two or more layers.
With regard to the method of forming protective layer 104 by using a UV-curable resin, usually a coating solution is prepared with the UV-curable resin as is or by dissolving the resin in a suitable solvent, the resulting solution is coated on reflection layer 103, and then the coated layer is cured by irradiating a UV light to give rise to a protective layer. As the method of coating, spin coating or cast coating may be adopted. In addition to the above-cited coating methods, various wet process film-forming methods such as screen printing, and dry process film-forming methods such as vacuum deposition, sputtering or ion plating can also be appropriately used for the formation of protective layer 104 depending on the material to be used. Among these methods, a wet process film-forming method, particularly spin coating, is preferred. And, in general, spin coating is employed. The lower limit for the thickness of protective layer 104 is usually 1 μm, and preferably 3 μm while the upper limit is usually 15 μm, and preferably 10 μm.
Invisible information-recording layer 105, the recording material composing the layer undergoes color change by light application, leading to the recording of visible information (visually readable information including letters, signs, images such as illustrations and photographs, and geometric patterns). The recording materials composing visible information-recording layer 105 are not specifically restricted, and the materials which change absorption of the visual light are roughly divided into (a) a type of changing chromogenic property, and (b) a type of changing transparency as will be described below.
As the recording material (a) exhibiting the change of chromogenic property, organic dyes are mentioned which are generally used for the optical recording of electronic information. Such organic dye includes, for example, a macro-cyclic aza-anulene-based dye (phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine and porphyrin), a polymethine-based dye (cyanine, merocyanine and squalirium), an anthraquinone-based dye, an azulenium-based dye, an azo-based dye, a metal-containing azo-based dye and a metal-containing indoaniline-based dye.
Further, leuco dyes containing a lactone ring portion in the molecular structure are cited. Specific examples of leuco dyes include, for example, fluoran compounds such as 3-diethylamino-7-chloroanilinofluoran, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluoran, 3-dibutylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluoran, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-2,4-xylidinofluoran, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-(m-toluidino)-fluoran, 3-diethylamino-7,8-benzofuloran, and 3-diethyamino-6-methyl-7-xylidynofluoran; phthalide compounds such as crystal violet lactone, 3-(4-diethylamino-2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(1-ethyl-2-methylindol-3-yl)-4-azaphthalide, 3-(4-diethylaminophenyl)-3-(1-ethyl-2-methylindol-3-yl)pht halide, and 3,3-bis(1-n-butyl-2-methylindol-3-yl)phthalide. Of these, phthalide compounds are preferred.
For such a leuco dye, an electron-accepting compound or a dye that generates heat upon absorption of the recording laser light is used in combination depending on need. As the electron-accepting compound for this purpose, an organic phosphoric acid compound having an aliphatic group with 6 carbon atoms or more, an aliphatic carboxylic acid compound or a phenol derivative is cited. Of these, a preferable electron-accepting compound is a phenol compound.
Specific examples of the electron-accepting compound include organic phosphoric acid compounds such as dodecylphosphonic acid, tetradecylphosphonic acid, hexadecylphonic acid, octadecylphosphonic acid and eicosylphosphonic acid; and aliphatic carboxylic acid compounds such as α-hydroxydecanoic acid, α-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, α-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, α-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, α-hydroxypentadecanoic acid, α-hydroxyeicosanoic acid, α-hydroxydocosanoic acid, α-hydroxytetracosanoic acid, α-hydroxyhexacosanoic acid, and α-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid.
As the phenol compounds, gallic acid compounds, benzoic acid compounds and bisphenol-based compounds are cited. Specific examples of these compounds include, for example, methyl gallate, propyl gallate, butyl gallate and lauryl gallate as the gallic acid compound; methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid as the benzoic acid compound; and bisphenol S and bisphenol A as the bisphenol-based compound. Moreover, 4′-hydroxy-4-ocatadecylbezanilide, N-octadecyl-4-hydroxybenzamide, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N′-octadecylurea and 4-hydroxyphenylpropiono-behenylhydrazide are mentioned.
These electron-accepting compounds may be used individually or in combination of plural kinds.
As the laser light-absorbing dye, the various dyes having been cited as the organic dyes used for optical recording of electronic information, bisanthrone-based or indoaniline-based IR-absorbing dyes are mentioned.
Next, as the recording material (b) exhibiting the change of transparency, an organic low-molecular weight compound which is dispersed in a resinous matrix in the form of 0.1 to 2.0 μm size, and melts or crystallizes upon heat treatment is exemplified. Such compound includes, for example, well known organic low-molecular weight compounds such as higher aliphatic acids with 12 carbon atoms or more. Such organic low-molecular weight compounds may be an aliphatic acid, an aliphatic dibasic acid, a ketone, an ether, an alcohol, an aliphatic acid ester and its derivative. These compounds may be used individually or in combination as mixtures thereof.
Of the organic low-molecular weight compounds that melt or crystallize upon heat treatment, aliphatic acid alkyl esters with 12 carbon atoms or more have preferably low melting points. Thus they are preferable since they melt or crystallize by heat treatment at a relatively low temperature. Further, by using an aliphatic dibasic acid with 10 carbon atoms or more having a high melting point together with an aliphatic acid alkyl ester with 12 carbon atoms or more whereby the mixing ratio of these two compounds, i.e., the aliphatic acid alkyl ester and the aliphatic dibasic acid is appropriately adjusted, the temperature range in which the recording material turns transparent can be controlled, and thus one can modify the degree of transparency as well as the turbidity at a pre-determined temperature.
Examples of the aliphatic acid alkyl ester with 12 carbon atoms or more includes methyl stearate, ethyl stearate, butyl stearate, octyl stearate, stearyl stearate, behenyl stearate, methyl behenate, ethyl behenate, butyl behenate, octyl behenate, stearyl behenate, behenyl behenate, methyl lignoceriate and ethyl lignoceriate.
Examples of the aliphatic dibasic acid with 10 carbon atoms or more include sebacic acid, dodecanonic diacid, tetradecanoic diacid and eicosanoic diacid. In cases where an aliphatic acid alkyl ester with 12 carbon atoms or more is used inconjunction with an aliphatic dibasic acid with 10 carbon atoms or more, a mixing ratio between 1:1 and 10:1 is preferred, and a mixing ratio between 2:1 and 6:1 is more preferred. As the aliphatic dibasic acid having a higher melting point is considered to play the role of regulating the crystallizing behavior as the seed crystal for the aliphatic acid alkyl ester having a lower melting point, there arises the possibility that its effect disappears if the mixed amount is too small, while, in contrast, if the mixed amount is too large, the resulting contrast may sometimes tend to diminish.
As the method of forming visible information-recording layer 105, the publicly known, wet process film-forming methods mentioned in the paragraph describing the method of forming electronic information-recording layer 102 can be adopted. Among those, spin coating or screen printing is preferred, and spin coating is more preferred. The lower limit for the thickness of visible information-recording layer 105 is usually 0.1 μm, and preferably 0.5 μm, while the upper limit thereof is usually 5 μm, and preferably 3 μm.
Over-coating 106, which protects visible information-recording layer 105 from physical damages, and further efficiently condenses laser beam 108 onto visible information-recording layer 105, is provided on the label surface side of visible information-recording layer 105, thus constituting the outermost layer. The material configuring over-coating 106 is not specifically restricted so long as it can protect visible information-recording layer 105 from external forces and the like and is transparent to the laser beam used for recording/reproduction.
As the material configuring over-coating 106, organic materials such as thermoplastic resins, thermo-setting resins, electron beam-curable resins and UV-curable resins are mentioned. By dissolving such a thermoplastic resin, a thermo-setting resin or the like in an appropriate solvent to prepare a coating solution, and coating and drying the coating solution, over-coating 106 can be formed. In the case of a UV-curable resin, a coating solution is prepared just as the resin stands or by dissolving the resin in a suitable solvent. Thereafter by coating the coating solution and curing the coated layer through UV light irradiation, over-coating 106 can be formed. UV-curable resins include, for example, acrylate resins such as urethane acrylate, epoxy acrylate and polyester acrylate. Further, as the inorganic material, SiO2, SiN4, MgF2 and SnO2are mentioned. These materials may be used individually or in combination of two or more thereof. Over-coating 106 may contain a single layer or two or more multiple layers so long as each layer transmits laser beam 108.
Over-coating 106 is preferably formed by a wet process film-forming method with use of the aforementioned various organic materials. As the film-forming method, spin coating, cast coating or screen printing can be adopted as in the formation of the previously described protective layer 104. Of these, spin coating is particularly preferred since surface smoothness is high. In the case of forming over-coating 106 by a dry process such as adhesive bonding whereby a transparent substrate made of a laser beam-transmitting material and having been prepared in advance is subjected to adhesive bonding, various measures must be adopted during the manufacturing process to realize an accurate registration of the substrate, and further to conduct the bonding procedure under a reduced pressure condition so as not to permit air bubbles to enter into the adhesive layer. Accordingly, from the viewpoint of productivity, it is advantageous to fabricate over-coating 106 by a wet process film-forming method such as spin coating or screen printing.
The lower limit for the thickness of over-coating 106 is usually 10 μm and preferably 20 μm, while the upper limit thereof is usually 100 μm and preferably 80 μm. When the thickness of over-coating 106 is smaller than the lower limit, there arises the risk that the over-coating cannot exhibit a sufficient protective function for visible information-recording layer 105. When the thickness exceeds the upper limit, there arises the need of repeated coating for the formation of over-coating 106 via coating, thus making the film-forming process complicated. Moreover, a large thickness may cause issues such as undesirably large disk deflection due to the curing shrinkage of the coated material. Meanwhile, over-coating 106 is designed so as to have the surface reflectance preferably, for example, not exceeding 20%. In this case, the refractive index of over-coating 106 preferably lies in the range of roughly from 0.4 to 2.6. Further, in order to suppress the surface reflectance of over-coating 106 not to exceed 10%, over-coating 106 preferably has a refractive index between 0.5 and 1.9.
As shown in
Still further, owing to the fact that visible information-recording layer 105 and over-coating 106 are formed circularly, information can be printed by means of screen printing in the inner circular region of optical information-recording medium 100 having no visible information-recording layer 105. This means that the medium has a region where the user can record visible information together with another region where the medium maker can record visible information in advance. In addition, since visible information-recording layer 105 lies in the outer periphery having a large area, the amount of information recorded in visible information-recording layer 105 can be increased. Further, in the case where the CAV method is adopted (whereby recording is performed at a constant rotational number both at the inner and outer regions), various advantages are attained including stabilized focusing, since the linear speed is higher for the outer region than for the inner one.
By way of precaution, the optical information-recording medium to which the present embodiment is applied may arbitrarily have still other layers than those described heretofore. For example, in the case where a recording layer made of an inorganic material is used as electronic information-recording layer 102, arbitrary layers may be provided between the individual layers or in contact with the outermost layer of the medium. Such arbitrary layers include dielectric layers which sandwich electronic information-recording layer 102, a second reflection layer inserted between protective layer 104 and visible information-recording layer 105, a laser-transmitting layer inserted between this second reflection layer and visible information-recording layer 105.
Some embodiments are illustrated hereinafter to describe in further detail the optical information-recording medium according to the present embodiment. By way of precaution, the present embodiment is not construed as restricted to Examples at all.
(1) Measurement of Disk Deflection
By using LM-1200, a product of Ono Sokki Co., Ltd., and setting a reference point at the position of 23 mm radius apart from the disk center of the optical information-recording medium (defining the deflection at the reference point as 0), the degrees of deflection were measured at the positions located outside the reference point (up to 58 mm radius with 5 mm steps in the radial direction). The average of deflection (deflection average) for these measured points a long the circular direction were obtained, and the maximum of the deflection averages (in terms of μm) was obtained to represent the degree of disk deflection.
A 1.2 mm thick disk-shaped substrate with 60 mm radius made of a polycarbonate resin having 0.45 μm wide and 155 nm deep grooves were fabricated by injection molding. On this substrate, a fluorinated alcohol solution of a metal-containing azo-based dye was spin coated. The coated layer was dried at 90� C. for 15 min to form a 70 nm thick electronic information-recording layer. Next, on this electronic information-recording layer, Ag was sputtered to provide a 70 nm thick reflection layer. Further, on this reflection layer, a UV-curable resin ("SD-374" manufactured by Dai-Nippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc.) mainly comprising an acrylate-based monomer was spin coated. Thereafter, the layer was cured by UV light irradiation to give a 7 μm thick protective layer. In this way, a CD-R was prepared. In succession, on this protective layer spin coated was a chromogenic organic dye composition consisting of 0.2 parts by weight of a phthalide-based leuco dye, 0.6 parts by weight of an electron-accepting compound (a phenolic compound), 0.05 parts by weight of a bisanthrone-based IR-absorbing dye, 4 parts by weight of poly (methyl methacrylate) (in the form of 10 weight % toluene solution), and 2.0 parts by weight of toluene. The coated layer was dried at 50� C. for 30 min to form a visible information-recording layer. Then, on this visible information-recording layer, a UV-curable resin mainly comprising an acrylate-based monomer was spin coated followed by curing with UV light irradiation to give a 50 μm thick over-coating. In this way, three kinds of optical information-recording media (Optical information-recording media 1 to 3) having different ranges where the visible information-recording layer is formed were prepared.
Of the three optical information-recording media 1 to 3 thus prepared, disk deflection was measured by setting a 5 reference point at the position of 23 mm radius apart from the disk center. The results are shown in Table 1.

From the results shown in Table 1, it is seen that the deflection of Optical information-recording medium 1 (Embodiment 1) in which the visible information-recording layer and the over-coating are provided in the range of 35 to 55 mm 15 radii from the disk center is 50 μm, which indicates that this optical information-recording medium can perform desirable information recording and reproduction. In contrast, Optical information-recording medium 2 (Comparative Example 1) in which the visible information-recording layer and the over-coating are provided in the range of 25 to 45 mm radii from the disk center, and Optical information-recording medium 3 (Comparative Example 2) in which the visible information-recording layer and the over-coating are provided in the range of 25 to 55 mm radii from the disk center exhibited disk deflections of 100 μm and 150 μm, respectively. Thus, it is seen that some problems can occur for information recording and reproduction with these optical information-recording media.
According to the invention, as has been explained heretofore, an optical information-recording medium can be provided which exhibits a reduced disk deflection, and is capable of recording visible information in the label surface with the irradiation of a low power laser beam.
The present disclosure relates to the subject matter contained in Japanese patent application No. 2003-001793 (filed on Jan. 8, 2003), which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

The characters in Cannery Row are, without exception, societies outcasts: Drunkards, thieves, prostitutes, gamblers and down-on-their-luck businessmen. From reading this you would be forgiven for thinking this story would be bleak or perhaps unpleasant. Nothing could be further from the truth.
It's refreshing to read about characters who genuinely love life. There isn't a whole lot of brooding or introverted thoughts just a small group with tenuous links in common getting on with their lives and co-existing. There is a subtle thread of mutal love and friendship in among the grime of their existence.
I found the book uplifting and fun to read. There is tragedy and sadness but also great and simple joys and an honest way of living which has perhaps been lost these days. I don't envy any of their hard lives but in the midst of their poverty, crime and immoral behaviour alot of joy and decency can be found.
On top of all this I love the front cover of this addition. A very powerful book but also great fun.
Cannery Row centres on life upon a small strip of largely dilapidated land situated next to a sardine cannery in Monterey Bay. It's the 1930s, the time of the Great Depression, and the story follows the daily interactions between the mainly down-trodden residents. These residents (all of whom symbolically represent various class structures in society) are primarily comprised of: Lee Chong, the Chinese grocer, Mac and 'the boys' who reside in a `refurbished' storage hut loving christened the Palace Flop-house, Doc who runs the marine laboratory, and Dora, the owner of the Bear Flag restaurant, which in actuality is a house of ill-repute.
Given Mr. Steinbeck's incredible talent for creating remarkable characters, and settings (something which I've discovered in ALL of the his books that I've read), I'm not surprised I'm so enamoured with Cannery Row, there's just something so magical about each and every one of them. This is the first novel I've finished where the characters, and the place, have carried on living in my head; out of nowhere I suddenly begin wondering how Doc's getting on in his laboratory, or whether Mac and the boys have managed to get up on their luck, if Mr. Chong is still in his sentinel position in his shop, behind the cigar counter, or if Dora's place is busy or not.
I have to say though, that I found no real story behind Cannery Row. As I found with other Steinbeck novels, the onus of the story is all about the characters and how they interact with one another, rather than any hugely engaging plot.Read more ›

...I should note, however, that apart from some German, I personally don't speak any other languages; even my Chinese was extremely limited. Beginning-level ESL students who still require instruction in their native language should consider another tutor. The students I taught already had a basic understanding of English, sufficient for full-time instruction in English.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/22/12 -- The Biotech Industry has skyrocketed in 2012 as an increase in the number of new drug approvals has boosted investor optimism within the industry. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index Fund (IBB) and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) have both gained over 25 percent year-to-date. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Biotech Industry and provides equity research on Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ: NKTR) and XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
"In 2011, the U.S. FDA approved 30 new drugs, compared to 21 in 2010," S&P Capital IQ wrote in a note. "Through September 2012, the year-to-date total was 22. We see an improving trend for FDA first cycle review approvals and a rise in the rate of new drug approvals for rare diseases, which we think is helping to boost investor sentiment for the agency, after years of criticism stemming from inconsistency in making and communicating its decisions."
Another key factor in the Biotech Industry's success has been the "patent cliff" major pharmaceuticals have faced in 2012. Major drug manufacturers have looked to biotech companies to help offset major revenue losses from expiring patents as it is less time consuming than developing new drugs through R&D.
Five Star Equities releases regular market updates on the Biotech Industry so investors can stay ahead of the crowd and make the best investment decisions to maximize their returns. Take a few minutes to register with us free at www.FiveStarEquities.com and get exclusive access to our numerous stock reports and industry newsletters.
Nektar Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics based on its PEGylation and advanced polymer conjugation technology platforms. Nektar has a robust R&D pipeline of potentially high-value therapeutics in oncology, pain and other therapeutic areas. Analysts at Jefferies Group have recently downgraded the company from a buy rating to a hold.
XOMA focuses its antibody research and development on allosteric modulation, which offers opportunities for new classes of therapeutic antibodies to treat a wide range of human disease. The company has recently reported positive results from their t 837-patient Phase 3 PATH trial. Their perindopril and amlodipine fixed-dose combination met its primary endpoint.
