Boris Livshits (Buyaner) has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Laser-driven cleaning using reactive gases
    Publication number: 20040045667
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing contaminants from the surface of a substrate. An explosive medium is introduced into a vicinity of the substrate, and a beam of electromagnetic energy is directed toward the substrate. Absorption of the electromagnetic energy causes the explosive medium both to generate a blast wave and to form reactive species, the blast wave and the reactive species cooperating to remove the contaminants from the surface substantially without damage to the surface itself.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: David Yogev, Boris Livshits (Buyaner)
  • Process and apparatus for oblique beam revolution, for the effective laser stripping of sidewalls
    Patent number: 6265138
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for carrying out the removal of a coating substance from the sidewalls of a surface to be stripped comprising, providing a laser beam incidence on the surface at an incidence angle &agr; relative to the plane of the surface being treated, wherein the angle &agr;>0, and periodically switching or gradually changing the azimuth of the beam incidence plane.

  • Laser processing chamber with cassette cell
    Patent number: 6123803
    Abstract: A process chamber for carrying out laser treatments, on the surface of an object, comprising: a base provided with object support means; a cover provided with a window substantially transmissive of laser light; gas inlet and gas outlet means; the said cover and the said base, when connected, leaving a space between the surface of the element and the inner surface of the window, in which gases flowing through the said gas inlet may flow above the surface of the object being treated and out of the process chamber through the said gas outlet.
