Abstract: A Partner Relationship Management System (“PRMS”) accessible for sellers and buyers located remotely, whereby the buyers' access privileges are based on their relationship with the sellers. The PRMS comprising a server connected to the Internet and a pricing configurator which includes at least, a buyer profile module residing on the server and storing information on a plurality of buyers, logistics data and a price converter. The information on each buyer includes at least a delivery destination, and a pricing factor. The pricing factor is unique to each buyer. The pricing configurator converts an origin offer price, such as a free-on-board price, to a delivered price, such as a cost-insurance-freight price by considering the information of the buyer profiles and the logistics data.

Abstract: In a thin beam directional Crystallization System configured anneal a silicon layer on a glass substrate uses a special laser beam profile with an intensity peak at one edge. The system is configured to entirely melt a spatially controlled portion of a silicon layer causing lateral crystal growth. By advancing the substrate or laser a certain step size and subjecting the silicon layer to successive “shots” rom the laser, the entire silicon layer is crystallized. The lateral crystal growth creates a protrusion in the center of the melt area. This protrusion must be re-melted. Accordingly, the step size must be such that there is sufficient overlap between successive shots, i.e., melt zones, to ensure the protrusion is melted. This requires the step size to be less than half the beam width. A smaller step size reduces throughput and increases costs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for shaping laser light as a line beam for interaction with a film that may have an imperfect, non-planar surface. The system may include a beam stop that defines an edge; a sensor that measures a distance between a selected point on a surface of the film and a reference plane and generates a signal representative of the measured distance; and an actuator coupled to the beam stop and responsive to the signal to move a portion of beam stop edge. Movement of the beam stop edge portion shifts a corresponding portion of the focused line beam in a direction normal to the reference plane to produce a line beam that more closely conforms to the surface profile of the film.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for shaping a laser beam for interaction with a film in which the laser beam travels along a beam path and defines a short-axis and a long-axis. In one aspect, the system may include a first short-axis element having an edge positioned at a distance, d1, along the beam path from the film and a second short-axis element having an edge positioned at a distance, d2, along the beam path from the film, with d2<d1. An optic may be positioned along the beam path between the second element and the film for focusing the beam in the short-axis for interaction with the film. In another aspect, a system may be provided having a mechanism operative to selectively adjust the curvature of one or both of the edges of the short-axis element.
