  • Patent number: 8308299
    Abstract: The multi-aperture system of the present invention provides a retinal oximetry apparatus for determining the level of oxygen saturation in retinal vessels using a lenslet array comprising at least seven lenses for the simultaneous measurement of reflected light with at least three wavelengths and at least four polarization states. The multi-aperture system of the present invention further provides an apparatus for determining the level of oxygen saturation in retinal vessels using a lenslet array comprising at least ten lenses for the simultaneous measurement of reflected light with at least three wavelengths for oxygen measurement, at least three wavelengths for melanin content, and at least four polarization states. Methods of operating the same are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8056222
    Abstract: A laser direct write method used to transfer entire single components such as semiconductor bare dies or surface mount passive and active components on a substrate or inside recess in a substrate for making embedded microelectronics is disclosed. This method laser-machine the pockets, laser-transfer the individual components inside those pockets, and then laser-print the interconnects required to “wire” the components, thus resulting in a fully assembled embedded circuit required to make a fully functional microelectronic system.

  • Publication number: 20040022947
    Abstract: A method of creating microstructures by contact transfer process includes the step of positioning a material covered ribbon in proximity with the surface of the substrate, directing a laser beam onto the material covered ribbon, so that the laser beam releases a portion of the material layer and transfers the released material onto the surface of the substrate. The material covered ribbon includes a transparent support and a material layer of the thickness in the range of 2-15 microns of highly homogeneous and uniformly distributed material, which includes a powder of very small particles the dimensions of which do not exceed 10 microns bound by a binder which provides a needed degree of viscosity to the material, which, being released from the material layer, is transferred to the surface of the substrate as a single piece. In order to create a microstructure, several repetitions of releasing the material and transferring the released material to the substrate is needed.
