Extractions: Say the phrase holographic data storage out loud. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Is it Princess Leia, the little picture on your credit card, or cheesy art galleries? Forget about them. Those associations are only part of the image problem that a Boulder, Colorado, company backed by Lucent will have to overcome. InPhase Technologies seeks to be the first real commercial player in an industry that some think will eventually replace DVDand that many others think is probably a pipe dream.

Extractions: Research Information Technology (IT) is the practice of using technology (ie, computers) to manage information more effectively and efficiently. The following dokument describes the major segments of IT. To learn about a particular subject, click on the links that are embedded in each subject division. Hardware Computer hardware typically refers to personal computers (PCs) and servers. Recently, hand-held and palm-sized computers (Personal Digital Assistants or PDAs) have taken on a significant role in terms of information technology hardware. Regardless of their size, most computers have similar parts: Motherboard : the foundation or infrastructure of the computer. The motherboard contains the 'wiring' that connects the different components of the computer together. Just as an interstate system connects different cities, part of the motherboard called the ' bus ' allows individual components of the computer to communicate with each other. Motherboards with higher bus speeds have more lanes of traffic, and therefore can handle more traffic at one time, thus increasing the speed of the computer.

Extractions: Text only February 1998 BYTE Hardware Lab Report / Storage Part 2: Infinite Space Edmund X. DeJesus Some very clever people are thinking about storage. That's good, because the rest of us don't want to think about it at all. We just want an infinite amount of space to store anything we please and be able to access it instantly. And we want it to be inexpensive. Is that too much to ask? Apparently not, because hard drive manufacturers have been successfully meeting those rather dema nding specs since Day One. Hard drives continue to get smaller yet more voluminous, faster yet more accurate, and cheaper yet more complex. Clearly this yellow brick road cannot continue forever. L uckily, the end leads to the Oz of computer storage: polymeric holograms, clusters of manganese molecules, and individual atoms of uranium. Oh my.

News: Newest Storage Tech--holographic DVD hardware. Newest storage techholographic DVD. By Rupert GoodwinsZDNet (UK) April 5, 2002, 1010 AM PT, TalkBack! LONDONLas Vegas http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-876822.html
Extractions: LONDONLas Vegas is no stranger to bright lights, but next week will see an entirely new laser show as breakthrough technology shows off 3-D storage for digital video. InPhase Technologies, an offshoot of Lucent Technologies ' research arm Bell Labs, will be showing the first commercial holographic video recorder at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show on April 8 in Las Vegas. The device uses the company's Tapestry technology to hold 100GB of data on a single CD-sized write-once disc as a succession of 1.3MB holograms. That's enough for 20 full-length movies, or 30 minutes of uncompressed high-resolution video. The first product is aimed at professional video editing, effects and archival use, with initial production at the end of 2003 and full manufacturing in 2004. Tapestry works by splitting a laser beam into two. One split beam is modulated by a megapixel array of mirrors in a TI Digital Light Processor chip with a frame of a digital video image. Recombining the two beams in a photosensitive medium results in a hologram containing the interference patterns generated; changing the parameters of the reference beam means that another hologram can be recorded in the same place in the medium as the first without mutual interference. This means a single disc can store a much higher density of information, as one location can hold multiple holograms.
Extractions: IN THE PIONEERING spirit of alternative storage ideas that have come before it, InPhase Technologies next month will demonstrate a holographic storage system at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas. ADVERTISEMENT InPhase will show off its Tapestry holographic video recording system, a video storage device based on holographic storage technology that could hit the market by late 2003. Storage capacities on the initial wave of write-once Tapestry disks are expected to reach 100GB, with data transfer rates as fast as 20MBps, according to InPhase representatives. Tapestry is targeted at companies running professional video applications that require large amounts of storage with fast transfer rates, InPhase representatives said. Unlike conventional storage disks that have data written in tracks across their surface, holographic storage recorders write across the entire body of the disk, creating richer paths to draw data from, thus adding capacity and throughput, according to InPhase, in Longmont, Colo.

Extractions: Entering MS-DOS commands can be time-consuming and complicated for beginners and advanced users alike. Fortunately, there is a shortcut to recall commands by scrolling through a list of previously entered commands. Believe it or not, the arrow keys on your keyboard can do more than just move the cursor right, left, up, and down. They just might be the key to successful and efficient programming. MS-DOS links you and your computer. Chances are, none of your other programs would work without MS-DOS because it controls your whole computer system. More specifically, MS-DOS is designed for IBM and IBM-compatible computers, and its major functions include managing diskette drives, hard drives, and disk files. MS-DOS is located either on diskettes or is already installed on your computer. Before accessing MS-DOS, you first must become familiar with some basic commands that will let you perform tasks that you normally could not do without additional software.

Extractions: Holographic Storage Technologies Many novel technologies are being pursued in parallel towards accomplishing higher capacities per disk and higher data transfer rates. Several unconventional long term optical data storage techniques promise data densities greater than 100 Gb/in and perhaps even exceeding Tb/in . These include near field and solid immersion lens approaches, volumetric (multi layer and holographic) storage, and probe storage techniques. A solid immersion lens approach using MO media pursued by Terastor in the United States promises at least 100 Gb/in areal density. This technique relies on flying a small optical lens about 50 nm above the storage medium to achieve spot sizes smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Since the head is now lighter, this type of technology may lead to access times comparable with hard drives. Several Japanese companies are intrigued by the approach and are involved in Terastor's activities. Similar objectives are pursued by Quinta, a Seagate Company, where increasing amounts of optical technologies including optical fibers and fiber switches are used to reduce the size and weight of the head, which is non flying, but still placed quite near to the disk medium. Multi layer storage is pursued both in Japan and the United States. In Japan the effort concentrates on increasing the number of storage layers in a PC based DVD disk. Some researchers also envision adapting multi layer recording to MO media by simultaneously reading and computing the data on several layers. Both approaches, however, have limited scalability in the number of layers. In the United States, Call/Recall, Inc. is using a fluorescent disk medium to record and read hundreds of layers. Also in the United States, significant effort is being put into developing holographic storage, aiming for areal densities exceeding 100 Gb/in

Future Perfect > Massive Storage Thursday, December 05, 2002 In Minority Report, you will find Tom Cruise watching the video of his lost child from some kind of palm-sized transparent glass plates. A huge video in such thin a medium? Difficult as it may sound, even that is in the realm of the possible. Welcome to the world of holographic storage, which can accommodate terabytes of data in small spaces. It is also much faster than conventional storage media. Holographic storage uses laser beams to read and write data. Prototypes of this technology have been demonstrated, and useable products are expected soon. Holographic storage traces its roots to way back in 1947 when Dennis Gobor theorised that two beams of light crossing each other could produce a 3D image called a hologram. Holography has come a long way since then as a way of producing 3D pictures. But it was only in 1995 that effort were initiated to use Gobors theory to develop stor-age systems.
