US FAX files innovative patents for holographic data storage system.PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 1995--US FAX Inc. (NASD NASD See: National Association of Securities Dealers NASD See National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). Bulletin Board: USFX USFX Universidad San Francisco Xavier (Bolivia) ) announced Friday that the company has filed for two patents covering its breakthrough holographic See holographic storage. data optical storage system. The advanced electro-optical device called a Read-Right(TM) Light Array could have a significant impact on how large stores of data are processed, such as in the transmission of virtual reality and image data, and database information storage and retrieval information storage and retrieval, the systematic process of collecting and cataloging data so that they can be located and displayed on request. Computers and data processing techniques have made possible the high-speed, selective retrieval of large amounts of . The two product patent filings include the following: -0- 1. A read only `holo' Multi-CD which can be used to store several full length motion pictures on a product the size of a conventional CD. 2. Mega-memory crystals that will be used as data storage devices that are able to access high concentrations of digital information at the speed of light.-0- The present market for data storage devices is in excess of $50 billion and increasing dramatically each year. "After more than 10 years of development, we've done the equivalent of going from the vacuum tube vacuum tube: see electron tube. vacuum tube Electron tube consisting of a sealed glass or metal enclosure from which the air has been withdrawn. It was used in early electronic circuitry to control a flow of electrons. to the transistor," according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. James McNulty James "Jimmy" McNulty (born 13 February, 1985) is a defender for the Macclesfield Town United Football Club. In November 2006, McNulty broke his leg and was prevented from playing for several months. McNulty was born in Liverpool. , president of Superior Technology Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of US FAX. "Unlike present day technology of processing data sequentially and bit by bit, our new technology allow for parallel or simultaneous data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a ." "We have now added the most important piece of our Internet offering and will develop Internet server `interlinks' that can be one of the most significant advances for the Internet community," McNulty added. US FAX is unveiling the new technology next week at the Web Innovation Conference in San Francisco where the company expects to develop partners for its new partner program. The company recently announced its participation in the Netscape Development Partner program and a joint venture with the Shanghai Institute of Optical Instruments. Technical Design The overall design utilizes an electro-optical device called a Read-Right(TM) Light Array. This device includes multiple laser emitters and optical sensors and eliminates the need for ultra-precision positioning via mechanical devices. The arrays are positioned on each side of the hologram See holographic storage. medium and the multiple data sites are accessed using an optical switching network that can operate far faster than any rotating disc. The hologram stores millions of bits of binary data as black or white squares that resemble crossword puzzle pages. Unlike conventional magnetic storage products that process bits of data one at a time, the new device enables pages to be read simultaneously. Founded in 1985, US FAX is a pioneer and one of the original developers of enhanced telecommunications networks. The company's present activities focus on Internet and fax content and information, imaging and messaging, as well as electronic publication services. The company's common stock is traded on the NASD Bulletin Board under the symbol USFX. Corporate headquarters are located in Philadelphia. For information about products, services as well as corporate information, please call 800/329-1517. Fax users can request the company's Fax-on-Demand service number for instant retrieval of released information. CONTACT: US FAX Inc., Philadelphia Lisa Flehinger, 800/329-1517 |
