al,
1.a. Initialization should be incorporated into our roll to roll since other automated processes already use it.
I'm just wondering if the 1 disk/second includes initialization. Any guesses?
I'm also wondering if it will matter much whether the JV is making -R or -RW disks since the cost advantage will be so huge.
Regarding the particular process used for initialization, it's interesting to note from my end that the electronic version (OUM) also requires a "first fire" pulse to initially condition the phase change material. This first pulse requires different parameters of amplitude, duration, etc., than what are used in subsequent programming.
act as heat sinks to speed the quenching post melt and also the cooling during annealing (I think).
kinda the opposite of the electronic version where effort is applied to minimize heat loss due to the highly conductive/heat-sinking electrode contacts. To this end, the walls of the via, where possible, are formed of highly insulative materials, the electrodes are made as thin as is feasible while still providing adequate electrical throughput, and the contacts are backed with more insulating material.
Thanks for the explanation of formatting and embossing.
So did Stempel say output is 1 disk/second (And, what kind of disk) at the shareholder's meeting?
If so, then 86,400 seconds/day or 31,536,000 disks per year per machina ;-)
Somebody said it -- I think it was Stempel or Stan. Very nice confirmation you got from that website!
31MM disks doesn't seem like a lot, although if we start early in the DVD cycle, margins could be very large. I'm wondering, with you, how many machines we will make for ourselves and how soon. But of course, of course, that's putting the cart before the horse, since pilot production comes first.
