20100141692 | MULTICOLOR VISUAL FEEDBACK FOR NON-VOLATILE STORAGE - An improved storage device is disclosed having an interface, a controller in communication with this interface, a memory in communication with the controller, wireless communications system, volume control and audio output, battery, and a light-emitting-diode assembly or other multi-colored display in communication with the controller. The light-emitting-diode assembly has a first and a second light-emitting-diode element, the first and second light-emitting-diode elements emitting a first and a second color of light, respectively. The first light-emitting-diode element and said second light-emitting-diode element each independently controlled by the controller via pulse-width-modulation, to produce a third color which appears to be in between the first and second colors in wavelength, this third color indicative of the percent completion of an I/O task, the usage of the memory, volume level, wireless strength, or battery strength. | 06-10-2010 |
20100285336 | MAGNETIC STORAGE MEDIUM FORMED OF CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAYS - A magnetic storage medium is formed of magnetic nanoparticles that are encapsulated within carbon nanotubes, which are arranged in a substrate to facilitate the reading and writing of information by a read/write head. The substrate may be flexible or rigid. Information is stored on the magnetic nanoparticles via the read/write head of a storage device. These magnetic nanoparticles are arranged into data tracks to store information through encapsulation within the carbon nanotubes. As carbon nanotubes are bendable, the carbon nanotubes may be arranged on flexible or rigid substrates, such as a polymer tape or disk for flexible media, or a glass substrate for rigid disk. A polymer may assist holding the nano-particle filled carbon-tubes to the substrate. | 11-11-2010 |

20130230743 | MAGNETIC STORAGE MEDIUM COMPRISED OF MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES CONTAINED WITHIN NANOTUBES - A magnetic storage medium is formed of magnetic nanoparticles that are encapsulated within nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes). | 09-05-2013 |
20130302553 | OPTICAL MEDIA HAVING GRAPHENE WEAR PROTECTION LAYERS - An optical storage medium is disclosed that includes an optical disc having layers of graphene on one or both sides of the disc to provide wear protection against scratches and mechanical abrasion. Grahpene is a hard material that is 97.7% optically transparent. Thus, layers of graphene at or near the exterior sides of an optical disc provide wear protection to the optical media from mechanical abrasion and scratches while allowing laser light to pass through the graphene layers to read or write to the optical media. | 11-14-2013 |
20140079360 | NANOTUBE FIBER OPTIC CABLE - A fiber optic cable is disclosed that includes an optic fiber contained within a nanotube. A graphene layer covers an end-surface of the optic fiber for wear protection. | 03-20-2014 |
20140127534 | MEDIA HAVING GRAPHENE WEAR PROTECTION LAYERS - An optical or magnetic storage medium is disclosed that includes a disc having layers of graphene on one or both sides of the disc to provide wear protection against scratches and mechanical abrasion. | 05-08-2014 |
