20120234807	LASER SCRIBING WITH EXTENDED DEPTH AFFECTATION INTO A WORKPLACE - Systems and methods for laser scribing provide extended depth affectation into a substrate or workpiece by focusing a laser beam such that the beam passes into the workpiece using a waveguide, self-focusing effect to cause internal crystal damage along a channel extending into the workpiece. Different optical effects may be used to facilitate the waveguide, self-focusing effect, such as multi-photon absorption in the material of the workpiece, transparency of the material of the workpiece, and aberrations of the focused laser. The laser beam may have a wavelength, pulse duration, and pulse energy, for example, to provide transmission through the material and multi-photon absorption in the material. An aberrated, focused laser beam may also be used to provide a longitudinal spherical aberration range sufficient to extend the effective depth of field (DOF) into the workpiece.	09-20-2012
20140102643	LASER LIFT OFF SYSTEMS AND METHODS THAT OVERLAP IRRADIATION ZONES TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE PULSES OF LASER IRRADIATION PER LOCATION AT AN INTERFACE BETWEEN LAYERS TO BE SEPARATED - Laser lift off systems and methods overlap irradiation zones to provide multiple pulses of laser irradiation per location at the interface between layers of material to be separated. To overlap irradiation zones, the laser lift off systems and methods provide stepwise relative movement between a pulsed laser beam and a workpiece. The laser irradiation may be provided by a non-homogeneous laser beam with a smooth spatial distribution of energy across the beam profile. The pulses of laser irradiation from the non-homogenous beam may irradiate the overlapping irradiation zones such that each of the locations at the interface is exposed to different portions of the non-homogeneous beam for each of the multiple pulses of the laser irradiation, thereby resulting in self-homogenization. Thus, the number of the multiple pulses of laser irradiation per location is generally sufficient to provide the self-homogenization and to separate the layers of material.	04-17-2014

20140364835	DEVICE AND METHODS FOR TRANSVASCULAR TUMOR EMBOLIZATION WITH INTEGRATED FLOW REGULATION - A catheter assembly may be provided with a catheter body and an inflatable balloon. The catheter body has a proximal end, a distal end and a balloon inflation lumen. The inflatable balloon is attachable to the distal end of the catheter body. The balloon has an inner surface that at least partially defines an interior volume. The balloon is configured such that the interior volume can be in fluid communication with the inflation lumen of the catheter body to inflate the balloon. The balloon also has a proximal surface and a distal surface. The balloon is provided with a channel that extends through the balloon. The channel is configured to provide fluid communication between the proximal surface of the balloon and the distal surface of the balloon. Other catheter assemblies and methods of use are also disclosed.	12-11-2014

20130167191	SECURITY POLICY FLOW DOWN SYSTEM - A system and method are provided that distill an organization's information security plan into a detailed and unambiguous security object model. The developed security object model provides a visualization of complex relationships between individual elements and levels that is usable to carry into effect the organization's information security plan. Configuration control and a verifiable level of security compliance are provided through implementation of the organization's information security plan by the developed security object model. The developed security object model is hosted on a computing platform in communication with at least the organization's network to provide information security plan compliance, configuration control and gap analysis in a usable form to the organization.	06-27-2013

20150089249	THREAD AWARE POWER MANAGEMENT - In an embodiment, a power management controller is to receive thread information from a scheduler, where the thread information includes thread priority information for a thread scheduled to a core of a multicore processor. The power management controller is further to receive power consumption information from a power controller and to determine a power management action to be taken by the power controller on at least one core based at least in part on the thread priority information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.	03-26-2015
