20100100084 | Hybrid Ultrafast Laser Surgery and Growth Factor Stimulation for Ultra-Precision Surgery with Healing. - The present invention relates to methods for laser surgery and growth factor stimulation for ultra-precision surgery with healing. The method is achieved by cutting biological tissue using an ultrafast laser, which produces laser pulses less than 10 picosecond in duration, to induce a cold ablation process in order to avoid the formation of carbonaceous or other materials that cannot be removed efficiently or completely from the wounded area through natural healing mechanisms. By use of femtosecond lasers, a negligible amount of debris is generated and an outer layer of intact but non viable cells are created principally through shock wave induce damage and ionizing radiation effects induced by multiphoton absorption of ultrashort laser pulses. The normal healing process is blocked by this outer layer of cells as all cell contacts are still intact. Therefore the healing process must be stimulated. The healing may be triggered or accelerated, or both, by application of growth factor molecules and/or signal proteins to the effectively undamaged cells causing the damaged cells to be replaced and the wound to close. The combination of very precise laser cutting used in combination with growth factors is the key to this unique tool. | 04-22-2010 |

20110260360 | TOUCH FASTENER PRODUCTS - A touch fastener including an elongated base having multiple segments connected by articulable joints. Each segment has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of touch fastener elements extending from the lower surface of the base. A flexible barrier extends across at least one articulable joint between adjacent base segments. The fastener may include a magnetically attractable material disposed along a center region of the upper surface of the base. The fastener base may define a pair of first and second notches in opposite longitudinal edges of the base at the articulable joint to allow bending of the base. The base may also define a slit extending through the base from a longitudinal edge thereof at the articulable joint. | 10-27-2011 |

20160119652 | PRESERVING DYNAMIC RANGE PRECISION IN INTEGER IMAGE FORMATS - High dynamic range media sensor output is encoded using a hybrid transfer function. The hybrid transfer function conforms to existing industry standards over standard brightness level ranges, such as between black and white reference points, and uses a different function to encode captured signals having intensities below the black point and above the white point. Precision over the expanded dynamic range of captured image data is optimally preserved using a two-byte per pixel representation. The transfer function varies across the full dynamic range without clamping off below the maximum value of the expanded captured intensity range. One hybrid transfer function conforms to BT.1886 up to the white point, and uses a linearly varying encoding gamma above the white point up to 1300% IRE, producing encoded values in a 2.14 fixed point representation. The hybrid transfer function is continuous at the white point, and may also have a continuous gradient there. | 04-28-2016 |
