Title: Billy C. Frederick and His Optical Tape Recording Patent.

Introduction

Billy C. Frederick is an inventor associated with Rowlett, Texas, and E-Systems, Inc. His patent work concerns optical data recording, specifically a system designed to write data onto light-sensitive recording media.

Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent for Frederick: “Compact Write System for Optical Tape Recording.” The invention describes a write module for an optical tape recorder that uses a rotated linear edge-emitter diode array or vertical-cavity emitter diode array. Multiple emitter diodes produce write beams that record data in separate channels, while an actuator subsystem focuses and positions the beams on the recording media.

The array’s rotation angle establishes the spacing between adjacent data channels. Each beam is modulated by a designated portion of the data signal, with a predetermined delay used to write a word of data as adjacent marks along a line transverse to the channels. This arrangement is intended to support compact, coordinated optical recording.

Career Highlights

Frederick’s documented patent contribution reflects work on optical recording technology and the engineering of multi-channel data-writing systems. The available information associates him with E-Systems, Inc., and records one patent.

Collaborations

Frederick’s listed coworkers include Scott M. Hamilton and Rodney C. Hibner II. Their names provide context for the professional connections associated with his work.

Conclusion

Billy C. Frederick’s recorded invention focuses on a compact optical tape write system that coordinates multiple beams to record data across adjacent channels.
