Title: Tooling for articles with structured surfaces
Inventor: GORMAN MICHAEL R
IPC: B29C59/00
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: Tool rolls and methods of using the tool rolls to manufacture articles with one or more structured surfaces are disclosed. The tool rolls include an outer surface that, when used in connection with materials of the proper viscosity or formability, can form a structured surface on an article. Because the tools are manufactured in roll-form, they can be advantageously used in continuous manufacturing processes. Alternatively, discrete articles may be processed using the tool rolls. The tool rolls are constructed of a cylindrical base roll and are wrapped with one or more continuous wires in a helical pattern. The wires are used, in essence, to form a structured surface on the tool roll that is the negative of the structured surface to be formed on the articles processed using the tool roll. One of the wires wound around the base roll may include a plurality of voids formed therein that, when wound in helical coils about the base roll, form a plurality of mold cavities on the outer surface of the tool roll. Alternatively, the helical pattern of one or more wound wires may be used to form a continuous helical structured surface, e.g., a helical groove or grooves.

Patent AU-3440899-A (AU)
Title: Selective photothermolysis of the skin
Inventor: AZAR ZION
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for selective photothermolysis of a target tissue within surrounding tissue. The target and the surrounding tissue are heated to a predetermined temperature of about 60° C. by a pulsed heat source such as a flash lamp which creates a temperature gradient in the air included in a cavity formed between the housing of the apparatus and the surrounding tissue. The surface temperature of the tissue is monitored by a sensor unit. When the tissue surface reaches the predetermined temperature the target tissue is heated to the point of coagulation, preferably by narrow band electromagnetic radiation. The temperature difference between the coagulating target and the surrounding tissue is sufficiently mild that heat diffusing out of the target does not damage the surrounding tissue, even in the case of a relatively large target such as varicose veins. The heating action may be terminated by automatically pumping air or another suitable coolant into the cavity when the surface of the tissue reaches a preset value or by lifting the apparatus off the tissue. The apparatus may include a programmable controller which may be programmed locally or remotely with the treatment parameters.
Patent AU-3594184-A (AU)
Title: Fibre optic modal coupler
Inventor: SHAW HERBERT JOHN
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1984-11-27
Abstract: A modal coupler, for coupling between modes of an optical fiber, such as between first and second order modes or between orthogonal polarization modes, comprises a single continuous strand of optical fiber (24), and a device (14) including a plurality of coupling surfaces (18) for applying stress to the optical fiber at spaced intervals along the fiber. The stress deforms the fiber and abruptly changes the fiber geometry at the beginning and end of each stressed region. The change in fiber geometry causes coupling of light from the fundamental mode to the second order mode or between polarization modes. Under certain conditions with nonbirefringent fiber the coupler exhibits polarization dependence, and thus, may be utilized as a fiber optic polarizer. In addition, the device couples coherently, and may be used in interferometric systems.
