Digital Information Media Having Adhesion Promotion Layer On A Substrate
US Patent:
8563111, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Dec 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/980784
Inventors:
Matthew R. Linford - Orem UT, US
Christopher M. Miller - Pleasant Grove UT, US
Christopher M. Miller - Pleasant Grove UT, US
Assignee:
Brigham Young University - Provo UT
International Classification:
G11B 7/24
US Classification:
428 641, 428 644, 43027011
Abstract:
Disclosed is a digital information media having an adhesion promotion layer supported on a dummy (L1) substrate that enables secure bonding of the L1 layer, directly or indirectly, to the rest of the stack of layers in the digital information media. Certain materials including metals, metal alloys, or metalloids enhance adhesion between the adhesive layer and the L1. By applying an adhesion promotion layer of such materials on an inner surface of the L1, the bond between the adhesive and the adhesion promotion layer improves bonding and reduces a tendency for the L1 to delaminate from the rest of the stack. The tendency for breakage of the media at the juncture between the adhesion promotion layer and the adhesive is reduced, and incursion of moisture or oxygen through the interface between the adhesion promotion layer and the adhesive is inhibited.
Controlled-Gradient, Accelerated-Vapor-Recompression Apparatus And Method
US Patent:
2012020, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Feb 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/372232

International Classification:
B01D 1/28, C02F 1/04, B01D 3/42
US Classification:
203 10, 203 26
Abstract:
An accelerated vapor recompression apparatus converts incoming flow to a concentrate by developing a concentration profile within a tank holding a liquid containing dissolved solids. The resulting curve of saturation temperature of the stratified liquid (such as a brine or other material ) moves away from the curve corresponding to fully mixed conditions. The shift in saturation temperature results in increased boiling without increased energy from a heater or compressor . A method of control of the system provides interventions at different levels of control, ranging from mass flows to work of a compressor , heat from a heater , and a predictive processing of feedback for controlling commands algorithmically.

Assignee:
Brigham Young University - Provo UT
International Classification:
B32B 3/02
US Classification:
428 641, 428 644, 43027011
Abstract:
Optical information media having high pressure-at-break values, and methods for determining pressure-at-break values are disclosed. The media have high structural integrities, and are designed to confer greater resistance to delamination forces as compared to conventional optical information media.
Optical Data Storage Media Containing An Encapsulated Data Layer

International Classification:
B32B 3/02
US Classification:
428 641, 428 644, 43027011
Abstract:
Optical information media containing encapsulated data layers are disclosed. Selective layering of materials in inner radial, middle radial, and outer radial zones allows for the faces and edges of at least the data layers to be encapsulated by other materials, resulting in increased resistance to harmful environmental agents such as oxygen and moisture.
