A laser processing head (100) comprises a first-level nozzle (110) and a second-level nozzle (120) that communicate with each other, wherein the second-level nozzle (120) is arranged downstream of the first-level nozzle (110); an inner diameter of the second-level nozzle (120) gradually decreases in a laser transmission direction, and minimum inner diameter of the first-level nozzle (110) is larger than the inner diameter of a tail end of the second-level nozzle (120). The laser processing head (100) solves the contradiction between high energy density laser and the system reliability through gradual coupling. Also provided are a laser processing system and a laser processing method.

The present invention relates to a nozzle for injecting fuel comprising an orifice in the region of a nozzle tip for leading fuel out of the nozzle and a reception hole for receiving a nozzle needle, wherein the reception hole has a seat region for a sealing closing by a nozzle needle to enable a fuel supply to the orifice in dependence on a position of the nozzle needle, characterized in that the longitudinal axis of the orifice is directed toward a region of the reception hole that adjoins the side of the seat region remote from the nozzle tip.

A method of forming a gas burner membrane. The method comprises forming a plurality of holes in a sheet of material. The holes are formed by laser cutting a required pattern of holes in the sheet of material.

A coffee powder filter cup for a coffee machine includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. The bottom wall has a thickness ranging from 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm and a plurality of apertures formed by a processing laser. Each of the apertures has an extending portion that has a length ranging from 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm in an extending direction, and two end portions that are connected respectively to opposite ends of the extending portion in the extending direction. The extending portion has a width ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.4 mm in a direction that is perpendicular to the extending direction. The peripheral wall extends from a periphery of the bottom wall in an upward direction to cooperate with the bottom wall to define a brewing space.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to processing a component. A first coating is removed from a substrate of the component, the substrate including a first hole. Subsequent to removing the first coating from the substrate, a second coating is applied to the substrate, where a portion of the second coating at least partially blocks the first hole. Subsequent to applying the second coating to the substrate, the portion of the second coating is removed to generate a second hole through the second coating. The removal of the portion of the second coating creates a bore in the second coating that provides a clearance from an edge of the first hole on a surface of the substrate that interfaces to the second coating.

A method for producing a cavity in a substrate composed of hard brittle material is provided. A laser beam of an ultrashort pulse laser is directed a side surface of the substrate and is concentrated by a focusing optical unit to form an elongated focus in the substrate. Incident energy of the laser beam produces a filament-shaped flaw in a volume of the substrate. The filament-shaped flaw extends into the volume to a predetermined depth and does not pass through the substrate. To produce the filament-shaped flaw, the ultrashort pulse laser radiates in a pulse or a pulse packet having at least two successive laser pulses. After at least two filament-shaped flaws are introduced, the substrate is exposed to an etching medium which removes material of the substrate and widens the at least two filament-shaped flaws to form filaments. At least two filaments are connected to form a cavity.

A gas flow can be provided together with a liquid jet guided laser beam to remove accumulated liquid on the processing surface. The gas flow can be configured to have minimum interference with the liquid jet guided laser beam, while functions to blow away liquid generated by the liquid jet. Keeping the surface free from accumulated liquid can improve the efficiency of the liquid jet guided laser processing.

A method for manufacturing a hollow protruding implement (1) including a fine hollow protrusion (3) having an opening (3h) of the present invention includes a protrusion forming step of inserting a projecting mold part (11) into a base material sheet (2A) from one face (2D) side thereof, the base material sheet containing a thermoplastic resin, thereby forming a non-penetrated hollow protrusion (3) projecting from another face (2U) side of the base material sheet (2A). Subsequently, an opening forming step is performed in which an opening (3h) that penetrates the hollow protrusion (3) is formed by using a contactless opening forming means disposed on the other face (2U) side of the base material sheet (2A).

The present invention presents a method of fabrication for a physiological sensor with electronic, electrochemical, and chemical components. The fabrication method comprises steps for manufacturing an apparatus comprising at least one electrochemical sensor, a microcontroller, and a transceiver. The fabrication process includes the steps of substrate fabrication, circuit fabrication, pick and place, reflow soldering, electrode fabrication, membrane fabrication, sealing and curing, layer bonding, and dressing. The physiological sensor is operable to analyze biological fluids such as sweat.

Methods for repairing a coated part with holes extending therethrough are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a part where a coating on a first side of the part at least partially obstructs a first opening of a hole on the first side of the part. Measured hole data indicative of a position of a second opening of the hole on a second side of the part opposite the first side is then acquired. Based on the measured hole data, the first opening of the hole is cleared of the coating by laser drilling via the second opening of the hole.
