Blu-Ray Disc: 1.C Physical Format Specifications for BD-ROM
[ Source: Blu-ray Disc Association ]
January 2008-
The read only Blu-ray Disc (BD-ROM) uses a substrate of about 1.1 mm nominal thickness. In the case of a Single Layer disc the substrate is covered with 1 Recorded Layer on top of which a transparent Cover Layer of about 0.1 mm is applied. This research paper introduces the key technologies underlying BD-ROM. The fundamental attributes contributing to the high capacity of BD-ROM and the advantages of BD-ROM are discussed in the paper.

January 2008-
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite system that provides highly accurate location with the use of special GPS receivers and their augmentations. This accurate GPS data is of limited use by itself, unless it is coupled with a powerful visualization tool like the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The GIS is a widely accepted visualization tool that presents data in a graphic form, which is a convenient and effective means of communicating complex information.
