Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical storage medium is provided, which comprises at least a transparent spacer layer ( 22 ) or transparent cover layer. This layer is provided by spincoating a liquid layer ( 22 ) between an inner radius ri and outer radius ro and substantial solidification by means of exposure to e.g. UV-radiation. The solidification of the liquid ( 22 ) is started at ri at a moment in time defined as t=ti. The solidification of the liquid ( 22 ) at ro takes place at a moment in time defined as t=to and to=ti+d and d>1 s. The solidification of the liquid ( 22 ) between ri and ro takes place at a moment in time between ti and to. The advantage is that the radial thickness uniformity of the solidified liquid ( 22 ) is substantially improved and better than +/-mum. Further an optical storage medium is provided manufactured using the method wherein additionally a stamper, preferably transparent to radiation, is pressed into an unsolidified top portion of the liquid layer ( 22 ) and solidified using a special device. In this way information is provided into the spacer layer ( 22 ) without disturbing the thickness uniformity of the spacer layer ( 22 ).

Abstract: Ice detection apparatus for monitoring ice accretion on aircraft surfaces, comprising an array of optical fibres which are mounted flush with an outer surface of an aircraft skin, and an intermediately located electromagnetic radiation emitter which is provided by an optical fibre. In use radiation is emitted by the emitter generally outwardly of the aircraft surface, and the layer of accreted ice diffuses the emitted radiation scattered and reflected. The diffused radiation is detected by the sensors, and the spatial distribution of the detected intensity diffused radiation about the emitter can be used to calculate the thickness of the layer of ice and the type of ice.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory card that has a sufficient storage capacity when an EC application writes data to a storage is provided. A usage area for the EC application in an EEPROM 3 in a TRM 1 is expanded. The expansion is such that a partition generated in a flash memory 2 outside the TRM 1 is assigned to the EC application while a partition table is allocated in the internal EEPROM 3. Because the partition table is in the TRM 1, only a CPU 7 in the TRM 1 is able to access the generated partition table. Secrecy of stored contents increases because the access to the expanded area is limited to the CPU 7 in the TRM 1.
