Three-dimensional (3D) printing may be described as an additive manufacturing process for generating 3D components. A 3D model may be used by a 3D printer to print the 3D component. In 3D printing, successive layers of material may be utilized to generate the 3D component. As part of the 3D printing process, the 3D component may be subjected to sintering. In some cases, the sintering may be accomplished by subjecting the 3D component to a heat source, or other types of processes.

A mass-storage device according to an embodiment of the invention is disclosed that includes a laser and an indication mechanism. The laser at least optically writes to an optically writable surface of an optical disc incident to the laser. The indication mechanism indicates whether the optically writable surface incident to the laser is an optically writable label surface or an optically writable data surface of the optical disc.

Indication of optically writable optical disc surface incident to laser

A method for using an optical sensor array to control a labeling device includes scanning a surface texture of an imageable media with the optical sensor array, collecting surface data corresponding to the surface texture of the imageable media, and controlling the labeling device in response to the surface data.

An optical display element of one embodiment of the invention is disclosed that comprises a binary optical display element and a multiple-bit storage element to store a number of bits of a color intensity value to be displayed by the binary optical display element during a display period. Each bit is loaded from the multiple-bit storage element into the binary optical display element one or more times during the display period to achieve the color intensity value.

A system and method for erasing a high-density non-volatile fast memory is presented. In one embodiment the high-density non-volatile fast memory is a modified flash memory having modified flash cells. One embodiment of the system comprises ultra-violet (UV) light windows that permit exposure of the modified flash cells to UV light. The exposure of UV light onto the modified flash cells erases the modified flash cells.
