Abstract: Methods and systems for precisely removing selected layers of materials from a multi-layer work piece using laser ablation are disclosed. Precise removal of one or more selected layers of materials of a work piece may be performed by irradiating at least one location on a multi-layer work piece with a laser beam, ablating material at the at least one location, detecting one or more characteristics of the material ablated at the at least one location and analyzing the one or more characteristics to identify a change in at least one of the one or more characteristics that indicates a change in the type of material being ablated. Related systems are also described.

Abstract: A ladder chair comprises a retaining unit disposed in a first step plate, and the retaining unit includes a knob, a spring, and a fastening piece; wherein the fastening piece is inserted in a notch and a recess of the first step plate, and one end of the fastening piece is connected with the knob, and the other end thereof engages with the first rear pivot of the first step plate by using a U-shaped hook; the knob is inserted in a cutout and extends out of the first step plate. Therefore, no matter the ladder chair is in expanding or retracting state, the ladder chair is locked securely as the knob is not pressed to obtain safety.

Abstract: An expansion base has a body and an amplifier. The body has a front, an outer surface, a container, multiple through holes and a protruding strip. The through holes are formed through the outer surface of the body. The protruding strip is formed transversely on and protrudes from the outer surface at the front of the body. The amplifier is mounted in the container of the body and has at least one woofer mounted in the container adjacent to the through holes and two speaker mounted in the container. When the notebook is placed on the protruding strip, a space is formed between a surface and the notebook for improved user-comfort and heat dissipation. The notebook is connected to the amplifier for improved sound.

Abstract: A biological safety cabinet (BSC) has an air curtain to isolate air inside and outside the BSC. A most preferable slight concave curtain of air can be obtained. With the curtain, neither contamination in the BSC leaks out nor outside contamination enters the BSC. Furthermore, no circulation is formed in the BSC by blowing the air curtain. Thus, the operator using the BSC and the product in the BSC are both well protected.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of selecting composite sheet materials for use in ultra-fast laser patterning of layers of organic thin film material such as OLEDs. The material is selected to accomplish patterning of upper layers without damaging underlying layers by using an ultra-fast laser programmed with the appropriate laser processing parameters. These parameters are derived by examining each layer's absorption spectra, thermal, and chemical characteristics. The method of the present invention includes measuring each layer's absorption spectrum, examining each layer's thermal and chemical characteristics, determining if the layer is ablatable, determining the laser setup, patterning the layer through laser ablation processing, and determining if more layers need to be ablated. Further, the method includes a sub-method of selecting an alternate material if a layer's material characteristics are not favorable for ablation without damaging underlying layers.
