Starting in early January 2005, LightScribe-enabled products were available at major computer and consumer electronics outlets and via online shopping. Click on Looking for LightScribe for a list of current LightScribe-enabled hardware, software, and media. Look for the LightScribe logo on retail packaging to identify LightScribe-enabled products. LightScribe-enabled discs also display the LightScribe logo on the inner “hub” of the disc itself.

To burn a LightScribe label, simply follow your software’s onscreen instructions. If you’re using a data-burning application that’s LightScribe-enabled, the application will ask if you want to burn a label. Then it will gather content to pre-populate a suggested label design and present the design onscreen. You have the option of selecting that label or making changes.

No. Current LightScribe technology is not erasable. Once the image is burned, it’s permanent. But software applications with LightScribe capabilities are designed to preview the image onscreen before it is burned—you can accept or make changes to that image before moving forward, so unplanned or undesired images will not be sent to the disc for burning.

The best way to clean the label side of the disc is with a soft, lint-free cloth. There are cleaning kits available on the market, or you can clean discs with water. The white powder you may see on some labeled discs results from crystallization of the label-side coating. It is not harmful and can easily be removed with a water-dampened cloth. Wiping the disc with a damp cloth will not harm the label.

Yes. A study of the potential for health and safety problems resulting from handling LightScribe-coated discs found no reason for concern.

A8. LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork using your label-making software. Or choose from the many free backgrounds the software provides.

Terminator technology refers to research of seeds/plants that produce sterile seeds. While research of this technology has been conducted in conjunction with the USDA, no agricultural biotechnology company currently uses this technology. In the future, this technology could be used to prevent any gene flow between biotechnology and traditional crops.

No. A video image is taken of an iris in a manner that is completely non-invasive and inherently safe – just like getting your picture taken with a digital camera. And, unlike other biometric technologies, there is no need to touch anything – thereby avoiding the possible spread of illness, i.e., SARS, colds, flu, etc.

Per Part 772 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), "technology" is specific information necessary for the "development," "production," or "use" of a product. The General Technology Note states that the "export of technology.is controlled according to the provisions of each Category." It further states that "technology required for the development, production, or use of a controlled product remains controlled even when applicable to a product controlled at a lower level.

Technology Market brand is promoted as a web-based market space for technology suppliers and seekers to exchange their technology offers and requests. It allows for quick search for suitable potential technology partners, and also provides their contact details to reach out to each other.

The difference in appearance of labeled LightScribe DVDs and CDs stems from the difference in how CDs and DVDs are made in general. DVDs have a second plastic layer, which CDs don't have, that creates a kind of "plastic sandwich" around the reflective layer on which data is burned. This additional plastic layer separates the reflective layer from the LightScribe coating on the surface of the disc.

LightScribe-enabled software comes with a variety of backgrounds to help you create great-looking labels, or you can import digital photos, or your own images from Photoshop. There are three types of backgrounds to choose from—Title, Content, and Full—and each refers to how much radial space is covered on the label. You can also choose between circular and straight text for your label. No.

Yes. The labeling runs in the background, so your computer can be used for other tasks while the process is underway.

Yes. LightScribe doesn't require your presence during the burning process. In addition, a LightScribe system will not go into sleep or power-save mode while it is burning a label.

RadialPrint™ Technology is sourced strictly from Elesys Incorporated, the patent holder. No one else has similar technology or products in the market, unless licensed by Elesys.

No. Fundamentally, magnetic technology is based on a force which arises 'at a distance', without physical contact. Piezo technology is based on physical contact and elastic coupling. On an application by application basis one is usually better than the other. Take solenoid actuators as an example. Piezo actuators can be designed to replace almost any solenoid but they always come out bulkier and often heavier so it is unlikely that full scale replacement will ever occur.
