Abstract: An adhesive article including an expandable layer composed of a shape memory polymer composition including a first curable adhesive and at least one thermoplastic elastomer and a first adhesive layer covering at least a portion of the first major surface of the expandable layer, wherein the shape memory polymer composition is in a temporary deformed shape. Further, a method for producing an adhesive article, to a method for bonding two substrates to each other, and to a two-part bonded assembly including a first substrate and a second substrate and adhesive article between the substrates.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, reducing opaque bubble layers (OBLs) comprises receiving information describing a tissue region of a tissue where laser pulses are applied to yield laser-induced optical breakdowns (LIOBs) in the tissue region. The LIOBs yield bubbles of gas. A concentration of the gas in the tissue region is estimated from the information. One or more laser parameters are adjusted in response to the concentration of the gas to satisfy a critical concentration rule.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmologic laser system (1) comprising an ultra-short pulse laser (2) for outputting ultra-short laser pulses (3), focusing optics (4) for producing at least one focal point (5) on and/or in the eye lens (6) of the patient's eye (7), a deflection mechanism (9) for varying the position of the focal point (5) on and/or in the eye lens (6), and comprising a control mechanism (11) for controlling the deflection mechanism (9). The laser system (1) is characterized in that the laser pulses output by the ultra-short pulse laser (2) and the size of the focal point (5) fixed by the focusing optics (4) are configured such that a fluence can be applied below or on the disruption threshold of the material of the eye lens (6) at the focal point (5), wherein said fluence is at the same time sufficiently high to cause changes in at least one material property of the material of the eye lens (6).
