Title: Operator-controlled scanning laser procedure designed for large-area epithelium removal
Inventor: LOGAN BENJAMIN A
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: Systems and methods for removing an epithelial layer disposed over a stromal layer in a cornea irradiate a region of the epithelial layer with a pulsed beam of ablative radiation. The ablative radiation is scanned to vary the location of the beam within the region in accordance with a pulse sequence. The pulse sequence is arranged to enhance optical feedback based on a tissue fluorescence of the epithelial layer. The penetration of the epithelial layer is detected in response to the optical feedback. The use of scanning with the pulse sequence arranged to enhance optical feedback allows large areas of the epithelium to be ablated such that an operator can detect penetration of the epithelial layer.

Inventor: YEH YU-CHOU
IPC: G02B30/31
Filed: 2009-08-12
Abstract: A digital image capturing device with stereo image display and touch functions is provided. The digital image capturing device includes an image capturing module, a central processing unit (CPU), and a touch display module. The CPU transmits a stereo image to the touch display module. The touch display module converts the stereo image into a multi-image, and then the multi-image is synthesized into the stereo image after being perceived by eyes. When a touch body performs a touch operation on the touch display module, for example, a contact/non-contact touch, the touch display module produces a first or second motion track, and the stereo image on the touch display module changes in real time along with the first or second motion track, so as to achieve an interactive effect of a virtual stereo image during the touch operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) in which a collision cell is employed to selectively remove unwanted artefact ions from an ion beam by causing them to interact with a reagent gas. The present invention provides a first evacuated chamber (6) at high vacuum located between an expansion chamber (3) and a second evacuated chamber (20) containing the collision cell (24). The first evacuated chamber (6) includes a first ion optical device (17). The collision cell (24) contains a second ion optical device (25). The provision of the first evacuated chamber (6) reduces the gas load on the collision cell (24), by minimising the residual pressure within the collision cell (24) that is attributable to the gas load from the plasma source (1). This serves to minimise the formation, or re-formation, of unwanted artefact ions in the collision cell (24).
