Publication number: 20200251873Abstract: A single loop hardware-based system for producing laser pulses in a microsecond scale operational mode includes a GUI to enable a user to select the operational mode of the system; a laser source for producing one or more laser beam pulses, the laser source being a diode laser pump source module; a DSP which enables and disables a hardware-based FPGA. The FPGA controls the diode pump source module. When a user selects one or more microsecond scale laser sub-pulses on the GUI, the DSP transmits to the FPGA the sub-pulse energy level and the sub-pulse on-time selected by the user on the GUI. A photodetector operatively connected to the hardware-based system measures the power of the laser pulse beam that was transmitted to the photodetector and, in a feedback mode, transmits a feedback signal of that power measurement to the FPGA. The FPGA compares the power of the laser beam measured by the photodetector to the power of the laser beam selected by the user on the GUI.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Christopher Cannon, Idan Aviad, Yair Manor, Yehoram Har-Even, Alon Shacham, Albert Ben-Shlomo

Publication number: 20180369020Abstract: A method of treating ophthalmic tissues of the body by the application of multiple laser pulses on each single spot intended to be treated while reducing heating of the ophthalmic tissues includes providing a source of pulsed laser energy movable in X and Y dimensions; determining the location and dimensions of the area of the ophthalmic tissue to be treated; determining an array of X rows by Y columns target spot positions within the area to be treated; then firing a single pulse of the source of laser energy at an initial target spot in the first of the X rows; firing a single second spot of laser energy at the next adjacent target spot along the first of the X rows and repeating the sequence until treatment is completed. A continuous wave (CW) laser energy source may also be utilized in practicing the method by moving the CW laser energy source in a determined pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2018Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: Alon Shacham, Anthony Jason Mirabito

Patent number: 6493840Abstract: A testability architecture and method for loosely integrated (modularized) integrated circuits uses stand alone module testing. For an integrated circuit chip which has a number of independent modules, where one module design is used in a number of different chips, each module is connected to the chip's input/output pins and to a configuration module. To make testing of the modules more efficient and less expensive, during testing of the chip a particular module design is confronted with the same testing environment regardless of the actual chip in which it is present. Advantageously, chip area is only slightly enlarged by the test circuitry. A test architecture of the configuration module includes test registers and carries out a standard protocol for all read and write transactions during testing. This approach provides better test coverage and economizes in test generation.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1999Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Alon Shacham, Peleg Lior, Rami Saban, Yomtov Sidl

Patent number: 5592515Abstract: The data separator of this invention may be used for extracting clock and data signals from a serial stream of bits read from a magnetic disk or tape. The data separator is supplied with a "fast" clock pulse generated by a frequency multiplexer. After a lock indication from the frequency multiplier, during the first eight serial data pulses the frequency and phase of the data separator are synchronized to the serial data pulses. Then an early and late logic unit keeps track digitally of the cumulative phase difference between the incoming data stream and the output of the data separator. When the cumulative phase difference reaches predetermined limits, the phase of the output is adjusted. If a second phase adjustment is required in the same direction (i.e., early or late), the frequency of the output is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Rami Saban, Alon Shacham, Avner Efendovich, Varda Karpati
