  • Patent number: 10814545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating surfaces of an electronic card (4) by means of a plasma torch (1), said card (4) comprising a plurality of electronic components (C1a, C1b, C1c, C2a, C2b, C3a) and a plurality of surfaces to be treated, arranged at various heights relative to a reference plane (Ref) of the electronic card (4). At least one region to be treated (Zn) containing the surfaces to be treated is determined, strata (S1, S2, S3) which are parallel to said reference plane (Ref) and each contain at least one surface to be treated are determined, and then a torch movement path is generated such that: the surfaces are treated, stratum by stratum; for each stratum, the torch is exclusively moved in parallel with the reference plane (Ref); during the projection of the plasma flow (2), each treated surface is exclusively placed in the ideal working zone (Pt).

  • Publication number: 20140107631
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for correcting presbyopic vision create a dye ring in the cornea. The intrastromal ring is created using a femtosecond laser and is centered on the visual axis. A black or a colored pigment is then injected. The internal diameter of the ring is dimensioned so as to create an intracorneal pinhole and improve the near and intermediate vision of the non-dominant eye while only slightly altering the distance vision of that eye. The pinhole dye ring in the cornea of the presbyopic eyes enhances the depth of field, thereby allowing improved presbyopic performance without the need for corrective lenses.
