Rich May Client, Hamilton Thorne BioSciences Inc. Develops Laser Isothermal Contours Display Method


Rich May client, Hamilton Thorne Bioscience Inc. has recently been assigned a patent relating to a method for calculating and displaying isothermal contours produced by a laser developed by Diarmaid H. Douglas-Hamilton.


According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: “A method for calculating and displaying the isothermal contours of the energy produced by a laser in a sample includes applying a laser beam to the focal point of a sample. The region near the focal point is divided into cylinders coaxial with the beam. The maximum temperature reached during the laser pulse of at least three points at arbitrary distance from the focal point is derived.”


An abstract of the invention, released by the Patent Office, said: “The temperatures calculated are plotted as a function of distance from the focal point sufficient to generate isothermal contours. A computer display is then generated of the isothermal contours corresponding to the temperature calculations.”
