Publication number: 20090187175Abstract: A disposable hand piece can be attached at the end of a laser beam delivery assembly. The hand piece can be longitudinally tapered and generally wedge-shaped in its width and slightly bent so as to form a tool which can be comfortable grasped by a Dentist for purposes of more accurately controlling the laser beam applied through the laser hand piece. The hand piece can include an internal means to supply fine mist of air and water for cooling of the treated area. The hand piece is constructed of inexpensive plastic materials and is designed to be disposable after a single use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2008Publication date: July 23, 2009Applicant: INLIGHT CORPORATIONInventors: Shlomo Assa, Steven Jerome Meyer, Julie Assa, Gordon J.

Patent number: 7394479Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to pulse laser printing. In general, in one implementation, an apparatus includes: a laser operable to produce a pulsed printing beam; an optics assembly operable to focus and direct the pulsed printing beam; and electronics communicatively coupled with the laser and the optics assembly, the electronics being operable to control the laser and the optics assembly to generate power pulses of the pulsed printing beam in synchronization with a series of moves that steer the pulsed printing beam in a non-raster scanning pattern to predefined locations on a material to alter an optical characteristic of the material at the predefined locations, which are arranged to form at least a portion of a symbol. The electronics may deliver the power pulses in synchronization with arrival at the predefined locations, and the electronics may be configured to receive sensed feedback in a closed loop.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2005Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Marken CorporationInventors: Shlomo Assa, Steven Meyer, Mark Rapposelli, John F.

Publication number: 20070288869Abstract: A laser printing system includes a computer, a user interface device, laser electronics and a laser. A first software application at the computer creates and edits fonts. The computer sends the fonts to the laser electronics, and the laser electronics use the fonts to convert text data to images for the laser to print. A second application at the computer creates and edits menu screen bitmaps. The computer sends the menu screen bitmaps to the user interface device to display. A third application at the computer creates and edits a keyboard function map for the user interface device. The computer sends the keyboard function map to the user interface device. The user interface device allows a user to edit images for the laser to print and control operation of the laser.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: KEVIN FRANKLIN, Patricia Destefano, Steven Meyer, Shlomo Assa

Patent number: 7167194Abstract: A method for printing is described. The method includes providing a printing system for printing a code on a product moving in a direction. The code is constructed from a plurality of pixels in a first data set indicating the positions of the pixels and generates a corrected data set indicating the position that each pixel would occupy if each pixel was moved at the velocity of the product until the pixel was printed. The method also includes printing the code according to the corrected data set.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: LaserinkInventors: Shlomo Assa, Steven Jerome Meyer, Jeffrey Allen Rideout

Publication number: 20050255406Abstract: A technique of applying a protective layer and an absorbing layer to a wrapping material for wrapping a product, such as a candy bar or potato chips. The protective layer prevents a laser marking tool from puncturing the film. The absorbing layer absorbs radiation from the laser marking tool to show a sequence of symbols and characters, such as a date, bar codes, an image or a logo. Another technique for marking codes on a thin film may include applying a thermal coating or ink on a thin film. A device with a ribbonless, non-contact thermal print head may apply heat to specific portions of the thermal coating to mark symbols and characters. The portions of the thermal coating exposed to heat will change color.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventor: Shlomo Assa
