Abstract: Methods of producing crystallized glass panel (or the same) having an embossed surface to a regular or irregular pattern, thereby producing a stereoscopic aspect and a less slippery surface. In a crystallized glass article consisting of crystallized glass particles (bits or pieces) fusion bonded together, the thickness of the article can be determined by the density of glass particles packed in the mold. Therefore, by preparing different size of glass particles in the mold in different areas can produce glass article with various thickness and result un-even surface. Moreover, in controlling the process of flow deformation can produce glass article with embosses surface. The glass particles can be SiO2—Al2O3—CaO, SiO2—Al2O3—CaO—ZnO, or any other crystallizable glass.

Abstract: An eye stabilizing mechanism for use with a computer controlled ophthalmic laser system includes a base on which the ophthalmic laser system is mounted. A frame is slidingly mounted on the base, and the frame is connected to the base by a linear spring. A contact lens is fixedly attached to the frame and an object lens is slidingly mounted on the frame. An object lens activating device is also fixedly attached to the frame, and this device is connected to the object lens to move the object lens in accordance with preprogrammed instructions from the computer. Thus, while contact is maintained between the surface of the eye and the contact lens, the object lens can be moved by computer control to move the focal point of the laser system through selected eye tissue. Also, any movement of the frame, due to movement of the eye, is opposed only by the substantially constant force which is established by the linear spring between the base and the frame.
