Abstract: A method and associated algorithm for controlling and optimizing the temperature of a device under test (DUT) through calculation of a moving setpoint which varies from the user-specified DUT core temperature. The method generally comprises (i) calculating a system operating range based on limits imposed by the DUT, associated temperature control system, and thermal conditioning equipment; (ii) determining the allowable operating range for the DUT based on permissible DUT stress and DUT core temperature; and (iii) calculating a control setpoint based on DUT and conditioning system temperature data, one or more pre-selected setup factors, and the system and DUT operating ranges. In another aspect of the invention, variable temperature differential limits are imposed on the CSP as a function of DUT core temperature in order to mitigate thermal shock to the DUT. A computer system and thermal conditioning system incorporating the above-described method and algorithm is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an energy absorbent medium which is compliant and conformal in the absence of an applied force, and stiffens in proportion to the rate of an applied force to dissipate energy. A polymeric based material composition comprising the medium offers absorption and dispersion of impact energy that is directly proportional to the rate of force applied. The polymer composition medium comprises a blend of a polymer, a lubricant and a filler to produce a conformal absorbent which exhibits dilatant (shear thickening) characteristics under high rates of force or stress. The novel medium comprises a dilutent extended crosslinked viscoelastic polymer composition. The polymer has reformable sacrificial chemical bonds which are preferentially broken under a high rate of deformation and which reform under static conditions. Typical applications of this medium include absorbent for sports padding, athletic equipment, motor vehicle seats, bulletproof vests, medical equipment, industrial equipment, weaponry, and athletic playing fields.

Abstract: An intraluminal device such as a stent graft is formed of a conformable ePTFE tube and preferably a compressed self-expanding stent affixed to the tube. The conformable tube is made by a special process which ensures that the tube is radially deformable up to a predetermined diameter without exceeding the plastic deformation limit of the tube. The stent has a relaxed diameter larger than the diameter of the expandable tube after insertion so that the tube is biased to a cylindrical shape. The process for making the tube involves progressively-dilating a small diameter extruded tube until a desired diameter is achieved. The tube is then contracted on a small diameter mandrel by heating.

Abstract: Improved systems, devices, and methods are provided for verifying the scanning motion or adjustment of a laser beam. The system can advantageously be used in laser eye surgery where accurate control of the laser beam is crucial for patient safety and successful vision correction. In one embodiment, a laser system is provided for sculpting a portion of the eye. The system includes a laser for generating a laser beam suitable for ablation of a portion of the eye. A laser beam adjustment mechanism is optically coupled to the laser beam from the laser. The adjustment mechanism scans or adjusts the laser beam in accordance with a predetermined ablation pattern of the laser beam on the eye. An energy motion sensor optically coupled to the laser beam downstream from the adjustment mechanism is provided to verify adjustment of the laser beam in accordance with the ablation pattern. Typically, the energy motion sensor has a mask arranged to block varying portions of the laser beam in response to laser beam adjustment. Positioning of the laser beam is verified by comparing anticipated energy readings from the sensor based on the expected positional adjustment of the beam on the mask and actual energy readings measured by the sensor during the eye ablative procedure.
