Inventor: SELA URI
IPC: B23K26/40
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: A composite component (1), such as a turbine airfoil, comprises a conductive portion (2), and a non-conductive portion (5), such as a thermal barrier coating or a wear protection coating, or both. In machining the component, a laser machining step is applied for machining the non-conductive portion, and an electro-machining step is applied for machining the conductive portion. The laser machining step is performed by applying preferably a high-frequency pulsed laser. The focussed laser beam working diameter (DL) is essentially smaller than the size of the contour (16) to be machined. The contour is scanned by the laser beam (9) along a pre-defined trace (17) thus literally inscribing the desired contour into the workpiece.

Title: Method of rendering text on an output device
Inventor: KLASSEN GERHARD
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: A method of rendering text on an output device using a pre-developed image of a custom font. An image file defines an image of a custom developed character set. The custom character set may be developed off-line using graphics development tools. Associated character information enables the location of specific characters within the image.
