  • Publication number: 20250256887
    Abstract: A razor wire barrier or container is disclosed. In some embodiments, the razor wire container includes a plurality of walls defining an interior area for securing object(s) therein. The razor wire container may further include panels or razor wire along a frame defined by the plurality of walls, and a component receptacle extending along the frame. The razor wire container may include a movable access component to provide access to the object(s). The component receptacle is operable to receive a component of a machine for moving the frame. In some embodiments, the component receptacle is a hollow member operable to receive a forklift prong. In some embodiments, the section of razor wire includes one or more panels of razor wire.

  • Publication number: 20250164831
    Abstract: A system includes a first acousto-optic deflector (AOD) for diffracting an incident beam of laser energy to produce and output therefrom a first beam of laser energy and a second beam of laser light, a second AOD arranged to receive the first beam of laser energy and for diffracting the received first beam of laser energy to thereby produce and output therefrom a third beam of laser energy and a fourth beam of laser energy, at least one first beam trap arranged and configured to absorb the second beam of laser energy output from the first AOD, at least one second beam trap arranged and configured to absorb the fourth beam of laser energy output from the second AOD and a controller communicatively coupled to the first AOD and to the second AOD, wherein the controller is configured to operate of the first AOD while not operating the second AOD.

  • Publication number: 20230420905
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an acousto-optical deflector (AOD) system operative to deflect a beam of laser energy within a two-dimensional scan field. The AOD system includes a first AOD operative to deflect the beam of laser energy along a first axis of the two-dimensional scan field; a second AOD arranged optically downstream of the first AOD, wherein the second AOD is operative to deflect the beam of laser energy along a second axis of the two-dimensional scan field; and a controller operatively coupled to the AOD system. The controller is configured to drive each of the first AOD and the second AOD to deflect the beam of laser energy within the two-dimensional scan field and is further configured to drive the first AOD and the second AOD at at least substantially the same diffraction efficiency.
