Patent EP-1542217-A1 (EP)
Inventor: UNO MAYUMI
IPC: G11B7/24035
Filed: 2003-09-17
Abstract: An optical information recording medium of the present invention
includes at least m (m is an integer of 2 or more) information layers, and
each of the information layers includes a recording layer that changes
irreversibly between a state A and a state B that are optically different
from each other. In the case where the m information layers are taken
as the first through m-th information layers in the order from a laser
beam incidence side, when a recording layer included in the j-th
information layer (j is an integer satisfying 1 ≤ j ≤ m - 1) is taken as the
j-th recording layer, and when a transmittance of the j-th information
layer at the time when the j-th recording layer is in the state A is TAj (%)
and a transmittance of the j-th information layer at the time when the
j-th recording layer is in the state B is TBj (%), the following relationship
is satisfied in the j-th information layer:
 0 ≤ |TAj - TBj| / (TAj,TBj)max ≤ 0.10 
where (TAj,TBj)max is a larger value of TAj and TBj. Furthermore, at
least one recording layer of the first through (m - 1)th recording layers is
formed of a material having a complex index of refraction (n - ik, where
n is a refractive index and k is an extinction coefficient) that is different
from that of the m-th recording layer.

Abstract: This invention provides a power unit for an automobile
including a motor 6 for starting an engine by transmitting a power
thereto and generating a power by receiving a power from the engine
during rotation thereof, a power converting circuit 5 for
transmitting a power to the motor 6, a battery 1, an energy storing
source 20 for storing energy, and a DC/DC converter including at
least two switching elements 10, 11, charging the energy storing
source 20, and recovering energy in the energy storing source 20
to the battery 1. Since the switch provided in the DC/DC converter
is normally turned on when the motor 6 generates power by receiving
a power from the engine and charges the battery 1 through the power
converting circuit 5 and the DC/DC converter, generation of heat
from the DC/DC converter circuit part can be suppressed greatly.

Abstract: A holographic recording medium (101) includes a recording layer (101b) in which
data are to be recorded as volume phase information of light by projecting a signal
beam (102) and a reference beam (102) thereonto, a reflective surface (101f) disposed on the
opposite side of the recording layer as viewed in the direction of signal
beam and reference beam incidence on the holographic recording medium
and formed with a convex pattern (103) or a concave pattern (701) having a
trapezoidal cross-section, a minimum width (D1) of a convex surface of the
convex pattern or a concave surface of the concave pattern being set equal
to or larger than a beam spot diameter (⊘1) of the signal beam or the reference
beam at a diffraction limit thereof, thereby forming a spatial filter region.
According to the thus constituted holographic recording medium,
it is possible to easily remove noise light (102x) contained in a signal beam and a
reference beam i.e. that fraction of light which is formed with spot diameter (⊘2) larger than D1.
