Laser Advice Laser replies: Your fundamental, profound, misguided, and erroneous mistake is to believe that petting your dog lowers his status. Laser replies: You are suffering from odorism, an irrational prejudice against animals because of their smell. Laser replies: The sight of an unleashed cat might well upset the local bipeds, as representing a gratuitous and disturbing freedom from rules and regulations. www.netwalk.com /~laserlab/advice.html   (3380 words)

Biological tissue stimulation by optical energy - Patent 5951596 For example, when applying laser radiation in a tissue field which is wet with blood or water, it is desired that the optical energy not be absorbed by the water or blood, thereby permitting the laser energy to be directed specifically to the tissue to be treated. Ruby and argon lasers are known to emit optical energy in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and have been used successfully in the field of ophthalmology to reattach retinas to the underlying choroidea and to treat glaucoma by perforating anterior portions of the eye to relieve interoccular pressure. The wavelength of the CO.sub.2 laser is 10.6 micrometers and therefore lies in the invisible, far infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and is absorbed independently of tissue color by all soft tissues having a high water content. www.freepatentsonline.com /5951596.html   (3514 words)

Biological tissue stimulation by low level optical energy - Patent 5445146 The laser was capable of operation in a pulsed or continuous mode, and its output was controlled by an exposure timer in the range of 0.1-9.9 minutes. The Nd:YAG laser beam operates in the near infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum at 1.064 microns, and thus is invisible. The optical energy is produced by a source, preferably a laser, having a wavelength of 1064 nanometers in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. www.freepatentsonline.com /5445146.html   (2559 words)

MarvelDirectory.com Although the Living Laser was seemingly killed by the explosion, he continues to exist as a sentient energy being. In this form, the Living Laser was captured by Iron Man and his ally James Rhodes, remanded to the Avengers' West Coast compound, where the Avenger Henry Pym sought to restore him to normal. It is possible that the Living Laser's body has not been totally destroyed, but was shunted permanently into the energy dimension from which Captain Marvel derives her powers, and replaced by an equivalent "quantity" of light. www.marveldirectory.com /individuals/l/livinglaser.htm   (680 words)

Marion Eye Centers & Optical | Patient Frequently Asked Questions To determine whether laser vision correction is right for you, we perform a thorough history including general and ocular health, and a complete eye exam that will include visual acuity, dilated-exam refraction, and microscopic examination of the front part of the eye and the retina (light perceiving part of the eye).

Earth-Living Laser Committed Suicide Confused, the Living Laser asked if it was a trick, given that Iron Man had just threatened to destroy him, but Iron Man explained that as long as the Laser stayed out of trouble, then they had a deal. After days went by with the Living Laser meeting with increasing amounts of distance from his co-workers, the Laser decided to meet with Iron Man and explain what was going on. He confronted the Laser, who explained that he was putting an end to his two-bit super-villain days and that he was a fool for thinking he could be anything else. www.marvunapp.com /Appendix3/earthlasersuicide.htm   (953 words)

ESA - Living Planet Programme - ADM-Aeolus laser bursts into life The laser forms the heart of Aeolus's innovative ALADIN payload and since it is a completely new instrument, these first light pulses signify a technological breakthrough. The emission frequency is determined by a small continuous laser source that is formed by a small optical crystal (Neodymium-doped Yttrium-Aluminium Garnet, or Nd: YAG) and a laser diode to optically pump the crystal. The laser system is being developed by Galileo Avionica (Italy), and their subcontractors CESI (Italy), Quantel (France), Thales Laser Diodes (France) and TESAT (Germany) with EADS Astrium as the overall Prime Contractor for the Aeolus mission. www.esa.int /esaLP/SEM6WG7X9DE_index_0.html   (808 words)

Laser Vision Correction - Patient Information Guide Laser Vision Correction consists of two different procedures which use a computerized laser to correct a person's refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism). It is important to note that while Laser Vision Correction may eliminate the need for glasses due to refractive error, it will not eliminate the need for reading glasses due to middle age. Laser refractive correction is considered the most important development in vision correction since the contact lens was introduced more than 30 years ago. www.drtennen.com /htdocs/guide.html   (2389 words)

Mechanics of Living Cells Measured by Laser Tracking Microrheology -- Yamada et al. 78 (4): 1736 -- Biophysical Journal A particle at the laser's focus causes far-field scatter, and its off-axis motions cause net energy to be deflected from the optical axis. For estimating particle sizes, we use the positional sensitivity of the laser signal that is computed as the slope of the calibration curve at its central inflection point. Living cytoplasm is clearly a very complex viscoelastic material. www.biophysj.org /cgi/content/full/78/4/1736   (5283 words)

Laser scientist illuminates research in living color Sanders' laser builds on a phenomenon known as supercontinuum generation, in which researchers convert single-color lasers, such as a green or a red laser, into a multicolored beam using a special kind of optical fiber. While that method produces a range of laser colors-and thus, a large amount of information-the drawback is that the white laser delivers all of the colors simultaneously, says Sanders. But, says Sanders, the laser system could be adapted to help detect cancerous cells, scan and evaluate multiple drug samples, or gauge objects' distance from a certain point. www.physorg.com /news3916.html   (887 words)

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (MILLENIUM EDITION) NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ($25) was a film that had a fairly unique concept, which the movie put across so successfully, that its release spawned decade’s worth of sequels, imitations and its own sub-genre of horror cinema. Utilizing a single claustrophobic setting for most of running time, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD tells the story of a group of strangers that are trapped inside an isolated farmhouse, as it is besieged by flesh eating zombies from a nearby cemetery. The Night Of The Living Bread film parody has been included on this release, along with a theatrical trailer and TV spots. thecinemalaser.com /dvd_review_2002/night-of-the-living-dead-me-dvd.htm   (880 words)

In living color Color laser toner varies greatly in price, costing as little as $10 per cartridge for a small personal laser or as much as $300 for a networked printer. Entry-level color lasers are designed to handle standard paper sizes, such as letter and legal paper, as well as large and small envelopes. Since an office laser must tackle everything from occasional letters, to spreadsheets, to high-end graphics, a duty cycle of at least 35,000 is a must for trouble-free service. www.gcn.com /print/24_11/35783-1.html   (1393 words)

BBC News | EUROPE | Laser inventor dies A leading Russian scientist who helped invent the laser has died, aged 85. He and Basov then went on to develop a similar device to Charles Townes' maser - a beam of coherent microwave radiation analogous to a laser.

Land+Living: The Shape of Things If laser cutting is the new handcrafted, then Mathias Bengtsson is a master craftsman. Generated by machine, his designs look like they have been carved from centuries of exposure to the elements, but in reality it is the flexibility of laser cutting that allows Bengtsson to create organic forms out of materials that don't normally lend themselves to manipulation. Bengtsson uses materials that are both natural and manufactured, and some of his pieces are fashioned out of the unexpected like fire retardant foam that has to be water-cut and joined by tension rods for stability. www.landliving.com /articles/0000000836.aspx   (255 words)

Laser eye surgery [Archive] - DR1 Forums I'll be in SD for the summer and thought it would be a good time to have it done and give the eyeballs a chance to rest (I can hear the jokes about the "luz" going out in the middle of the procedure). I believe that all lasers are owned by the mfg not the doctor. The laser is planted in concrete and calibrated via computer (once the diameter of the cornea is measured along with the thickness) making the "cutting" fairly error proof. www.dr1.com /forums/archive/index.php/t-22026.html   (2754 words)

Slugfest Special - Iron Man: The Inevitable #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics Casey uses the rest of the story to foreshadow events in the future by introducing three of Iron Man’s old foes: Spymaster, the Ghost, and The Living Laser. While Spymaster and the Ghost are both fully capable of causing trouble the Living Laser is in a different predicament—he has become a sentient form of energy locked in stasis. The big different between Tony and Bruce is that Tony’s a geek, and it’s also fun to see him take on the bizarre reconstruction of a villain called the Living Laser who has somehow become literally a living laser. www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com /reviews/113591199591545.htm   (991 words)
