The stability and repeatability of laser metal deposition is particularly important when processing multiple layers or depositing material on complex component surfaces, and requires the use of process parameter control including the stand-off distance between the laser head and the substrate. The system proposed in this paper for correcting the stand-off parameter is based on a chromatic confocal sensor integrated into a laser head. Then, the spectral signal acquired from the measurement system is processed by using the developed application to compensate for the movement of an additional axis of the kinematic system. This study used an independent verification system based on the digital image correlation method. The validation tests were carried out using the system for correcting the stand-off parameter with different control algorithms and given motion trajectories and substrate materials. The results demonstrate that the developed system can be useful for laser metal deposition.

Keloids are characterized by excessive growth of fibrous tissue resulting from abnormal wound-healing processes. They may lead to functional impairments, aesthetic deformities, pruritus, and a decreased quality of life. Various therapies, including intralesional corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, and radiotherapy, have been used to manage keloids, but the recurrence rates remain high.

Dynamic X-ray Microtomography vs. Laser-Doppler Vibrometry: A Comparative Study.

J Assoc Res Otolaryngol

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, 3010, Freiburgstrasse, Bern, Switzerland.

Purpose: There are challenges in understanding the biomechanics of the human middle ear, and established methods for studying this system show significant limitations. In this study, we evaluate a novel dynamic imaging technique based on synchrotron X-ray microtomography designed to assess the biomechanical properties of the human middle ear by comparing it to laser-Doppler vibrometry (LDV).

Methods: We examined three fresh-frozen temporal bones (TB), two donated by white males and one by a Black female, using dynamic synchrotron-based X-ray microtomography for 256 and 512 Hz, stimulated at 110 dB and 120 dB sound pressure level (SPL).

Visually significant ocular decompression retinopathy following laser peripheral iridotomy in a patient with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Ross Eye Institute, University at Buffalo, 1176 Main Street, Buffalo, NY, 14209, United States.

Purpose: We report a single case of ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR) following neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser peripheral iridotomy (Nd:YAG LPI) for primary acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with delayed visual recovery secondary to optic nerve head edema and macular thickening.

Observations: A 56-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma. After topical and IV therapy did not improve intraocular pressure (IOP), an Nd:YAG LPI was performed.
