This invention provides a method of acquisition of binary information that has been stored physically in a periodic storage medium. The method referred to , as matrix-method deconvolution (MMD) is useful for use with optical storage media using an optical addressing system that reads and writes binary information in a periodic array of nano-particles. With this MMD method the , density of existing memory systems can be boosted to between 10 and 100 Terabytes of data per cubic centimeter. This matrix-method deconvolution method compensates for the effects of the optical addressing system's point spread function. Prior knowledge of a system's point spread function and inter …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 14, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 14, 2021.
