Abstract: A method to approximate descriptive parameters of an interaction of a coherent light source with an arbitrary wavelength and energy mode with an arbitrary material of known properties, the method comprising providing a data file with characteristics of the coherent light source, providing a data file with characteristics of the material, providing a data file describing a resolution of a subset of the material, and calculating at least one of an energy distribution and a beam projection of the coherent light source specific to the material with a parallel processing technique.

Abstract: A method for separating a shaped body from a substrate, the method comprising forming a scoreline having a width and a depth in a first side of the substrate in a directional path defining the annular shaped body from the substrate, applying a temperature differential to at least one of the annular shaped body and the main body to increase the width and the depth of the scoreline, and applying a physical force to separate the shaped body from the substrate.
