Heat assisted magnetic recording HAMR is a potential solution to extend the limits of conventional magnetic recording. In HAMR, the heating of the recording medium is achieved with a near-field optical transducer. Although the literature suggests novel transducers, there is little consideration of the optical and thermal aspects of the magnetic medium. In this letter we suggest a recording medi...

Several integrated broadcast-broadband services, such as Hybridcast, have recently been launched which allow viewers to receive content via the airwaves together with additional information about the content via the Internet. By sharing personal preferences such as viewing histories with service providers, viewers can expect more attractive and personalized services. Viewing histories used for ...

The optical neural recording techniques are promising tools in recent years. Compared to the traditional electrophysiological recording, the optical means offer several advantages including no inclusion of electrical noise, simultaneous imaging of a large number of neurons, or selective recording from genetically-targeted neurons. Overall the optical neural recording technique comprises the int...
