  • Patent number: 11583957
    Abstract: A laser processing method includes a first step of irradiating a surface of a composite material with a laser to form a hole processing groove on the composite material by scanning first paths from an outside corresponding to an inner peripheral surface side of a through hole to be formed to an inside corresponding to a center side of the through hole to be formed, the first paths extending across a width direction of the hole processing groove; and a second step of irradiating and penetrating through the hole processing groove with the laser to form the through hole by scanning second paths from the outside to the inside after the first step, the second paths extending across the width direction of the hole processing groove. The laser used at the first step has a smaller heat input amount per unit time than the laser used at the second step.

  • Patent number: 7095630
    Abstract: A power supply includes a supply inductor and a first capacitor coupled to form a resonant circuit to generate a resonant waveform in a resonant operation, during a first portion of an operation cycle of the power supply. A charge storage element develops an output voltage to energize a load. A rectifier is coupled to the charge storage element and to the resonant circuit and is responsive to the resonant waveform for applying the output voltage back to the resonant circuit to interrupt the resonant operation, at an end time of the operation cycle first portion, when the resonant waveform produces a first change of state in the rectifier. A first sensor senses when the first change of state in the rectifier occurs. A source of a supply current is coupled to the rectifier and rectified in the rectifier to produce a rectified current that is coupled to the charge storage element to replenish a charge therein, during a second portion of the operation cycle.
