Disc Drive Or Player For Reading Double-Sided Optical Discs
US Patent:
2005010, May 19, 2005
Filed:
Nov 19, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/717809
Inventors:
Christopher Cookson - Studio City CA, US

Lewis Ostrover - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
G11B007/085, G11B021/08, G11B007/08, G11B007/09
US Classification:
720659000, 369030360
Abstract:
A double-sided optical disc, such as a DVD-18 disc, is formed with data tracks on each layer. The tracks on one side are oriented along one spiral while the tracks on the other side are oriented along another spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, so that they are mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from either side of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc while normal data reading is proceeding. An optical disc drive is provided with an opening to accept the disc. The drive is incorporated into an entertainment device, a desktop PC, a mobile computing device, a PC tablet, etc. The disc drive includes two heads, one disposed on an inner wall of the drive facing the disc, and the other is disposed on a tray moving in and out of the opening.
Method Of Reading Data From A Double Sided Multi-Layered Optical Disc
US Patent:

Lewis Ostrover - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
G11B007/00
US Classification:
369094000
Abstract:
A double-sided optical disc, is formed with data tracks. The tracks on one side follow one spiral while the tracks on the other side follow a second spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, and therefore being mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from both sides of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc.

US Classification:

Abstract:
Separations or images relating to film or other fields may be registered using a variety of features, such as, for example: (1) correcting one or more film distortions; (2) automatically determining a transformation to reduce a film distortion; (3) applying multiple criteria of merit to a set of features to determine a set of features to use in determining a transformation; (4) determining transformations for areas in an image or a separation in, a radial order; (5) comparing areas in images or separations by weighting feature pixels differently than non-feature pixels; (6) determining, distortion values for transformations by applying a partial distortion measure and/or using a spiral search configuration; (7) determining transformations by using different sets of features to determine corresponding transformation parameters in an iterative manner; and (8) applying a feathering technique to neighboring areas within an image or separation.
Player With Rotational Control For Double-Sided Optical Discs
US Patent:
7327648, Feb 5, 2008

Assignee:
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc. - Burbank CA
International Classification:
G11B 7/005
US Classification:
369 4739, 369 4746, 369 5322, 369 5337
Abstract:
A double-sided optical disc, such as a DVD-18 disc, is formed with data tracks on each layer. The tracks on one side are oriented along one spiral while the tracks on the other side are oriented along a different spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed normally from the respective sides. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from either side of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc while the data is being read. The player determines whether a newly inserted disc is oriented properly and, if necessary, the direction of the disc rotation is reversed.

Abstract:
Images may be registered using temporal (time-based) and spatial information. In a film implementation, because film is a sequence of frames, using information from neighboring frames may enable a temporally smoother visual experience. In addition, it may be beneficial to take advantage of the fact that consecutive frames are often shifted similarly during the photographic process. Distortion measures may be used that discount candidate transformations that are considered to be too far from one or more preferred transformations, such as, for example, an optimal transformation from another frame or block or a currently-optimal transformation from the same frame/block. Composite color images may be processed to provide registration of underlying components.

International Classification:
G11B 7/24
US Classification:
3692751, 3692753, 264 133
Abstract:
Double-sided optical discs, such as a DVD-18 disc, are mass produced with data tracks on each layer. The tracks on one side of the discs are oriented along one spiral while the tracks on the other side are oriented along a different spiral, the two spirals being oriented in opposite directions as viewed from the respective sides, so that they are mirror images of each other. This allows data to be read by a player seamlessly from either side of the disc without changing the direction of rotation of the disc while normal data reading is proceeding. The process for making the discs includes forming master discs corresponding to the data layers and using these master discs to produce molded optical discs.
