  • Robot-assisted laser surgical system
    Patent number: 11903640
    Abstract: A system for working biological tissue, the system comprising: a tool comprising a laser operable to perform at least one action of work; positioning means for positioning the tool relative to the biological tissue to perform the at least one action of work; a controller; storage storing electronic program instructions for controlling the controller; and an input means; wherein the controller is operable, under control of the electronic program instructions, to: receive input via the input means; process the input and, on the basis of the processing, control the positioning means and the tool to work the biological tissue.

  • Photonic switch working in momentum-division-multiple-access (mdma) mode for microwave and optical wavelengths based upon the measurement of the spin, the orbital angular momentum and the total angular momentum of the involved photo
    Publication number: 20050259914
    Abstract: Photonic switch working in Momentum-Division-Multiple-Access (MDMA) mode for microwave and optical wavelengths based upon the measurement of the spin, orbital angular momentum and total angular momentum of the involved photons. For the optical wavelengths Dove prisms and holograms are used in form of a Mach-Zehnder-Interferometer as selectors; for the microwave wavelengths phased-array antennas with double orthogonal dipoles act as selectors.
