Abstract: While displaying an application user interface, a device detects a first input to an input device of the one or more input devices, the input device provided on a housing of the device that includes the one or more display generation components. In response to detecting the first input, the device replaces display of at least a portion of the application user interface by displaying a home menu user interface via the one or more display generation components. While displaying the home menu user interface, the device detects a second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device: the device dismisses the home menu user interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for positioning at least one optical element (22), wherein the apparatus (1) comprises at least one movable carrier (20) for holding the optical element (22), at least one fixed support portion (10) for supporting the carrier (20), connecting means for connecting the carrier and the support portion, and actuating means for creating forces to influence the relative position of the carrier (20) to the support portion (10).

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of three-dimensional targeting, by galvano motor scanning head means using a combination of pre-objective and post-objective scanning techniques whereby a collimated input to collimated output beamexpander (2, 3) is used to size a beam or laser beam input into said galvano motor scanning head and a flat-field or f-Theta or telecentric lens (6) or lenses are used to focus said beam or laser beam at a target plane and where altering the separation of the elements (2, 3) within said beamexpander will alter the beam or laser beam from a collimated to a converging or diverging output into said galvano motor scanning head to alter the focal distance to said target plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of Silicon Carbide scanning or optical mirror production.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus of galvano motor scanning head modular construction, assembly and calibration. In addition, the invention relates to the apparatus and construction method to achieve modular galvano motor scanning head products whereby multiple galvano motor and/or multiple galvano motor driven scanning mirror substrates and/or multiple beam expansion or beam collimation or beam de-collimation input optics and/or multiple output delivery optics and/or multiple galvano motor drive electronics configurations may be used to produce said modular galvano motor scanning head dependent upon customer required configurations.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for precise control of laser processing specifically for, but not limited to non-metallic substrate materials, said method comprising the steps of reading a constant and unbroken laser beam (4) energy power level from a laser cavity (3), and adjusting and modifying its input control signal to produce a significant improvement in power stability; ensuring thermal stability within an optical pulse modulation means (11), by either or a combination of maintaining the constant and unbroken laser beam energy from said laser cavity (3) into said optical pulse modulation means (11), by providing a stand-by modulation signal (12) to said pulse modulation means (11), by flowing cooling gas across the optical surfaces and, by maintaining a tight cooling control through the cooling medium; pre-calculating or Real-Time calculating the predictable changes in spot size, shape and area in combination with the required processing path direction movements and velocities at the

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling laser power, using at least two Brewster windows which are aligned along an axis which is parallel to the direction of the laser beam and which are rotatable around said axis, wherein the first Brewster window is rotated in one direction and the second Brewster window is rotated in the opposite direction. Preferably, both Brewster windows only have to rotate each through +/−45° to control transmission of the laser beam from maximum to minimum.

Abstract: A system and method for network address translation that enables an inbound connection from the public network to a privately addressed host residing on a private network. The stated invention functions as a reverse proxy mechanism assigning a dynamic port number to uniquely identify each inbound connection from the public network to a host on the private network. The defined proxy device uses regular and reverse mapping and employs use of the passive command to notify the client on the public network of the said unique port number assigned for the inbound connection. When the session is completed, the port is returned to the pool to be reassigned as needed.
