摘要:
A counter-rotating disk scanner together with another scan mechanism provides two-dimensional optical scanning. The counter-rotating disk scanner includes counter-rotating scan disks that implement the scanning action as they rotate through an optical axis of the system.

Systems for treating a subject's tissue can include a thermally conductive cup, a tissue-receiving cavity, and a vacuum port. The vacuum port is in fluid communication with the tissue-receiving cavity to provide a vacuum for drawing the submental tissue, or other targeted tissue, into the tissue-receiving cavity. A thermal device can cool and/or heat the conductive cup such that the conductive cup non-invasively controls the temperature of subcutaneous lipid-rich cells in the tissue. A restraint apparatus can hold a the conductive cup in thermal contact with the target region.
摘要:
An apparatus (12) generates information about the width of pulses in an optical train using an autocorrelation technique. In the apparatus, the incoming beam (10) is split into two paths (10a, 10b). The path length of one of the beams (10b) is varied using a reciprocating stage (40) having a reflector (50) mounted thereon. The stage is driven by a cam (42) rotating at a constant speed. A portion (42b) of the curvature of the cam is arranged such that the distance between the rotational axis (44) of the cam and the stage varies proportionally with the rotational angle of the cam such that the path length of the beam will change at a constant rate. The two beams are then recombined in a second harmonic generation crystal (28) which generates an output signal. The output signal is monitored by a photodetector (30) and may be displayed on an oscilloscope to provide a measurement of the pulse width of the input pulses.
