US Patent:

46680780, May 26, 1987

Filed:

Apr 2, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/718886

Inventors:

Robert E. Pearson - Portland OR

International Classification:

G03B 2732
G03B 2752

US Classification:

355 32

Abstract:

This invention is directed to the separation of electromagnetic radiation into a, plurality, of selective wave length bands or colors. The term color separation, broadly applied, is meant to be the separation of primary and secondary or complementary wave lengths or colors for the purpose of geometric imaging. Such color separation is achieved, substantially, instantaneously, without the loss of wave length energy or color intensity by a novel means of reflection, transmission and color filtration. The separated colors or selective wave length bands can be, substantially, instantaneously, recreated as a geometric image or can be recorded for later recreation as a geometric image such as by photographic or movie films or by tapes; lithographic plated or engravings. Also, the separated colors or selective wave length bands can be used in making printing plates, directly, without using film.

G03B 2772

US Classification:

355 32

Abstract:

This invention is directed to the storing of digital information. This storage system comprises a number of layers of transparent or translucent material. In each layer there is a chemical or chemicals subject to change by being contacted with different electromagnetic wave lengths. For example, if there be eight layers then the chemical or chemicals in any layer is subject to be changed by an electromagnetic radiation of a wave length different than of the other seven layers. In this manner, with eight layers it is possible to have an eight bit byte. Actually, under premutations and combinations it is possible to have as many as eight bit bytes from the eight layers. It is conceivable that there may be more than eight layers such as sixteen layers of thirty-two layers. There is the possibility of storing large amounts of information in a small volume.
