Appeal No. 2006-0467
Application No. 10/063,004
APPEALED SUBJECT MATTER
The subject matter on appeal is directed to data storage
media, such as magnetic or magneto-optic data storage device.
See the specification, page 3. Claims 1, 22, 30, 40, and 41 are
representative of the appealed subject matter and read as
follows:
1. A storage media for data, comprising:
a substrate comprising a single phase plastic resin
portion, wherein the plastic resin portion comprises
poly(arylene ether) and a styrene material selected from the
group consisting of polystyrene, styrenic copolymer(s), and
reaction products and combinations comprising at least one
of the foregoing styrene material(s); and
a data layer on the substrate;
wherein the data layer can be at least partly read
from, written to, or a combination thereof by an energy
field; and
wherein, when the energy field contacts the storage
media that has a thickness of about 0.8 mm to about 2.5 mm,
the energy field is incident upon the data layer before it
could be incident upon the substrate.
22. A storage media for data, the media comprising:
a substrate comprising a single phase plastic resin
portion, wherein the plastic resin portion consists
essentially of poly(arylene ether) and a styrene material
selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, styrenic
copolymer(s), and reaction products and combinations
comprising at least one of the foregoing styrene
material(s); and
a data layer on the substrate;
wherein the data layer can be at least partly read
from, written to, or a combination thereof by an energy
field; and
wherein, when the energy field contacts the storage
media, the energy field is incident upon the data layer
before it could be incident upon the substrate.
