A system and method are disclosed for recording information on a phase change medium is disclosed. The method includes irradiating a region of the phase change medium with a first dose of laser energy. A first portion of the region is irradiated with a second dose of laser energy in a manner that causes the first portion of the region irradiated with the second dose of laser energy to be in a different state than a second portion of the region that is not irradiated by the second dose of laser energy.

High density data write strategy

Novel methods for the preparation of polymers useful as precursors to ceramic materials by catalytic activation of Si--H bonds are disclosed. The methods comprise reacting, in the presence of a catalyst effective to activate Si--H bonds, Si--N bonds, or both, and/or a reactive solvent, a polymer in the form of a polysilane, polysilazane, polysiloxane or polycarbosilane with a reactant having the structural formula R--X--H, wherein X is NR' or O, R is H, organic, silyl, siloxyl, silazanyl or carbosilyl and may contain at least one additional X--H group, and R' is H, amino, silyl or silazanyl, to produce a modified polymer containing at least one Si--X bond. Polymers produced by these methods are also disclosed.

Dehydrocoupling treatment and hydrosilylation of silicon-containing

Surfaces of various types of substrates, including glass, ceramics, metals and fabrics, are rendered thermally stable by treatment with a silicon-containing polymer which may be a polysilazane, a polysiloxane, or a polysiloxazane. Curing the polymer in an atmosphere which contains an oxygen donor additionally renders the substrate surface nonwetting.

Temperature-resistant and/or nonwetting coating of cured,

The present invention is a system for reading a CD having a surface with a multiple level data track including a laser, a focusing and positioning system configured in a way which causes the laser to follow the multiple level data track, a detector which converts the light which is reflected from the data track to an electrical signal, a digital signal processing unit configured to receive the electrical signal including a scaling-function generator for determining a plurality of signal windows from the electrical signal, and a multiple level analog to digital converter which determines a data level based on the signal windows and the electrical signal whereby multiple data levels may be read from the CD.
