Title: Method and apparatus for laser processing of materials
Inventor: SHARP CHARLES M
IPC: H01S3/00
Filed: 1987-12-15
Granted: 1990-08-02
Abstract: An improved method of laser processing of a material by directing a laser beam against the material comprises providing the beam with a power waveform with respect to time characterized by a plurality of peak power pulses and a predetermined CW power level between the peak power pulses such that the average beam power maintained is equal to or greater than the predetermined CW power level of the beam. The method is particularly adapted for cutting material such as aluminum, copper and stainless steel with improved cut quality at a relatively high cutting speed and for welding.
Patent AU-560247-B2 (AU)
Title: Acoustic power meter
Inventor: SANDHU JASWINDER S
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 1983-03-21
Granted: 1987-04-02
Abstract: The meter includes a liquid crystal cell (12) for detecting acoustic energy and a control circuit (14) for applying an electric field to the cell. The cell includes a liquid crystal material having elongated molecules. The preferred liquid crystal is in the form of a layer of the nematic type which is homeotropically aligned. The elongated liquid crystal molecules exhibit positive dielectric anisotropy wherein the dielectric constant parallel to the molecule's axis is greater than the dielectric constant perpendicular to the molecule's axis. In the unexcited condition, the nematic layer is dark. In the ultrasonically excited condition, the nematic layer exhibit birefringence. A restoring electric force can be applied to the liquid crystal material to suppress the acoustically-induced birefringence condition of the cell to the dark appearance associated with the unexcited condition. The strength of the electric field required to suppress the birefringence is proportional to the acoustic intensity of the ultrasonic beam or acoustic field applied to the cell.

Title: Far ultraviolet surgical and dental procedures
Inventor: BLUM SAMUEL EMIL
IPC: A61F9/008
Filed: 1983-11-24
Granted: 1988-03-10
Abstract: Photoetching organic biological matter is effected without requiring heat as the dominant etching mechanism. Farultraviolet radiation having one or more of wavelengths less than 200 nm is used to selectively remove organic biological material, where the radiation has an energy fluence sufficiently great to cause ablative photodecomposition i.e. bond-breaking and resulting generation of volatile or gaseous products which "explode" away from the irradiated material. Either continuous wave or pulse radiation can be used, a suitable ultraviolet light source being an ArF excimer laser having an output at 193 nm. The exposed biological material is ablatively photodecomposed without heating or damage to the rest of the organic material. Medical and dental applications include the removal of damaged or unhealthy tissue from bone, removal of skin lesions, cutting or sectioning healthy tissue, and the treatment of decayed teeth.

Title: High viscosity microemulsion containing two surfactants
Inventor: ROSANO HENRI L
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 1984-03-06

Title: Digital audio broadcasting method using puncturable convolutional code
Inventor: KROEGER BRIAN W
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1999-02-24
Granted: 2002-12-05
Abstract: A broadcasting method encodes program material using convolutional codes having non-puncturable bits and puncturable bits and modulates orthogonal frequency division multiplexed carrier signals with the convolutional codes. The non-puncturable bits are carried by a first group of the carriers and the puncturable bits are carried by a second group of the carriers, where the first group of carrier signals is less susceptible to interference than the second group of carrier signals. The carrier signals are then broadcast to receivers which determine if the carriers in the second group have been corrupted and erase puncturable bits carried by any of the carriers which have been determined to be corrupted. This produces punctured codes which are subsequently decoded to recover the program material.

Title: Circumferential ablation device assembly and methods of use and manufacture providing an ablative circumferential band along an expandable member
Inventor: MAGUIRE MARK A
IPC: A61N7/02
Filed: 2000-03-17
Granted: 2003-09-18
Abstract: A medical balloon catheter assembly includes a balloon having a permeable region and a non-permeable region. The balloon is constructed at least in part from a fluid permeable tube such that the permeable region is formed from a porous material which allows a volume of pressurized fluid to pass from within a chamber formed by the balloon and into the permeable region sufficiently such that the fluid may be ablatively coupled to tissue engaged by the permeable region. The non-permeable region is adapted to substantially block the pressurized fluid from passing from within the chamber and outwardly from the balloon. The porous material may be a porous fluoropolymer, such as porous polytetrafluoroethylene, and the pores may be created by voids that are inherently formed between an interlocking node-fibril network that makes up the fluoropolymer. Such voids may be created according to one mode by expanding the fluoropolymer. The balloon may be formed such that the porous material extends along both the permeable and non-permeable regions. In one mode of this construction, the porous material is porous along the permeable region but is non-porous along the non-permeable region, such as for example by expanding only the permeable region in order to render sufficient voids in the node-fibril network to provide permeable pores in that section. The voids or pores in the porous material may also be provided along both permeable and non-permeable sections but are substantially blocked with an insulator material along the non-permeable section in order to prevent fluid from passing through. The insulator material may be dip coated, deposited, or extruded with the porous material in order to fill the voids. The insulator material may in one mode be provided along the entire working length of the balloon and then selectively removed along the permeable section, or may be selectively exposed to only the non-permeable sections in order to fill the voids or pores there.
