Abstract: A system and method of measuring the curvature of a surface of a object operate by illuminating the object surface with a light pattern having a known size to produce a virtual reflected image from the object surface; measuring a size of the virtual reflected image produced by the object surface from the light pattern; and calculating a curvature of the object surface from the known size of the light pattern and the size of the virtual reflected image.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for measuring wavefront slope and irradiance of direct and/or reflected light beams at a plurality of points to enable calculation of optical wave front distortions. A plurality of sub-beams or groups of sub-beams is created and controlled using at least one electronically-controlled Active Light Modulation Device (“ALMD”).

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for ablating a surface of a work-piece comprising a radiation source for providing an ablating beam and a plurality of adjustable reflective masks having predetermined mask patterns thereon. The reflective masks are sequentially positioned relative to said radiation source and in the path of said ablating beam for reflecting said ablating beam onto the surface of the work-piece to ablate the work-piece.

Abstract: A one-piece or unitarily constructed composite plastic catheter and cannula arrangement and method of producing the arrangement, having a suitably coated needle point which is thereby facilitated for insertion thereof into the vein or body of a patient, whereby the arrangement of an inexpensively produced construction renders the composite catheter and cannula structure of a nature adapted to be readily disposable after only a single use and therefore economically viable, especially for undeveloped or developing countries or regions.

Abstract: Intravenous catheter insertion devices produced by a low cost method of assembling a catheter structure and cannula holder body. Also disclosed is an extruded cannula and blood chamber securement structure. Moreover, there is also provided a novel structure for the realization of simplified extruded catheter insertion devices in which an extruded plastic element is connected with a steel cannula for attachment to a blood chamber or housing to enable a low cost construction rendering the catheter insertion device simple and inexpensive in assembly and construction for economically disposable single usage thereof.
