Title: Excimer laser ablation process control of multilaminate materials
Inventor: BESTE RUSSELL D
IPC: B23K26/00
Filed: 2000-07-14
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A method of ablating holes in a material, using a laminated material which includes a first layer (12) and a second layer (14). The first and second layers have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The first layer has a hole within it surround-ing a target region of the second layer in the laminated material. Thus, the target region is not laminated to the second layer but is surrounded entirely by laminated regions where the first layer (12) is laminated to the second layer (14). A laser source (40) produc-ing energy of a wavelength and a power level that can ablate material from the first layer is directed toward the target region after and/or during changing the temperature of the laminated material so as to place the target region under tension, thereafter ablation of the target region produces the desired holes.

Abstract: On décrit un système tactile comprenant une pluralité d'émetteurs et de récepteurs de rayons infrarouges ("IR"), ainsi qu'un procédé qui permet de déterminer avec une meilleure résolution la position d'une touche entre les émetteurs et les récepteurs IR au moyen de la détection sur l'axe et en dehors de l'axe. Le système tactile selon l'invention et son procédé utilisent, conjointement à la détection sur l'axe et en dehors de l'axe, un balayage grossier et fin des émetteurs et des récepteurs pour augmenter la résolution de la position de la touche identifiée. Le procédé de détermination d'une position de touche implique la sélection et l'activation de paires spécifiques d'émetteurs et de récepteurs infrarouges en dehors de l'axe déterminées à partir d'une interdépendance de triangulation entre les coordonnées x et y. Il est possible, à l'aide du système et du procédé selon l'invention, d'améliorer la résolution de la position de la touche identifiée sans pour autant devoir augmenter le nombre d'émetteurs et de récepteurs IR et sans devoir accroître la capacité de rapidité du traitement.

Abstract: A method for performing phase encoded inside-out magnetic resonance imaging. The phase of the nuclear spin is advanced by applying a magnetic field gradient between application of each of several refocusing pulse sequences so that echoes are detected during refocusing pulse sequences for different phase advances. The echoes detected for each refocusing sequence are added together and averaged. An image is then generated from the averaged echoes, such as by Fourier transform techniques. In addition, a method is provided for eliminating ringing while measuring a nuclear magnetic resonance property of a volume of earth formation surrounding a borehole. The phase of the refocusing pulses is changed so that pairs of echoes in the echo train have opposite ringing phase. Echoes in the echo train having opposite ringing phase are added to cancel ringing in the echo train.  The echo train can then be analyzed for amplitude and/or decay characteristics.
