Patent number: 8084138Abstract: A method of decreasing the penetration depth of radiation provided to an interface, such as a surface, or a predetermined volume in a polyethylene (PE) element, where the PE element has a scattering coefficient larger than one tenth of an absorption coefficient thereof so that the radiation not absorbed at the interface or in the volume but transmitted further into the PE element is at least partly reflected toward the interface/volume. The radiation intensity is higher in the volume and the absorption coefficient may be reduced while retaining the total absorption in the volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2005Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Frank Berg Rasmussen, Ingrid Laesoe Fink, Kim Bager, Carsten Thirstrup

Patent number: 7935095Abstract: An ostomy body side mounting wafer and a method of preparing the ostomy body side mounting wafer, where the wafer is assembled from two parts using laser welding. The laser light is provided through one of the parts having a low or lower absorption of the laser light. The other part has a higher absorption of the laser light, whereby the interface between the two parts is heated at the welding zone(s) of the laser light. In this manner, an assembly is obtained independently of the thicknesses of the materials and even close to openings or other edges.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Kim Bager, Ingrid Laesoe Fink

Patent number: 7572492Abstract: A method for welding together two layers or workpieces within a multi-layer assembly in which laser light is directed through an outer layer of the assembly, allowing transmission of the laser light from its outer surface to at least within the vicinity of its inner surface substantially without any absorption of energy from the laser light. The laser light is directed towards a layer having an absorbent component, corresponding to a portion thereof, capable of absorbing laser light within a given wavelength range thereby creating a welded area between a surface of the layer having the absorbent component and a surface of a layer facing the layer having the absorbent component. The absorbent component can be provided either within the bulk of a layer or it can be provided as a separate surface layer on one or both surfaces of a layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Kim Bager, Ingrid Læsøe Fink, Thorkild Vorm
