Microsoft Technology Licensing Assigned Patent

Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC., Redmond, WA, has been assigned a patent (11984145) developed by Chu, Jiaqi, Thomsen, Benn Charles, Narayanan, Dushyanth, and Rowstron, Antony Ian Taylor, Cambridge, Great Britain, for a “holographic storage“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method of performing a write operation in a holographic data storage system, in which schedule schedules at least one write operation across multiple non-contiguous write intervals, the write operation pertaining to a set of data to be stored in a region of a holographic recording medium. In each of the non-contiguous write intervals, the region of the holographic recording medium is exposed to an interference pattern caused by interference between a reference beam and an input beam carrying the set of data. The multiple non-contiguous write intervals have a total aggregate duration of sufficient length to cause a persistent state change in the exposed region, such that the set of data is recoverable from that region by the end of a final write interval of the multiple non-contiguous write intervals.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-02-22 (17/905850).
