An edible-body marking device (1) has a carrier device (20) that carries an edible body, a detection part (210) that detects the edible body, and a laser processing part (220) that forms a marking pattern on the edible body by using laser light. The carrier device sequentially carries the edible body to the detection part (210) and the laser processing part (220). The detection part images (210) the edible body to acquire orientation information regarding an orientation of the edible body, and the laser processing part (220) has a memory part that stores in advance multiple pieces of marking procedure information regarding formation procedures of the marking pattern in association with their respectively different pieces of the orientation information, and forms the marking pattern on the edible body according to the marking procedure information extracted from the memory part based on the orientation information acquired by the detection part (210).

A laser printhead assembly for a laser printhead is disclosed herein. The laser printhead assembly may include a laser containment door; and a laser containment housing that is configured to form a sealed enclosure with a label support of a label. The sealed enclosure may be configured to include the label and the laser printhead. The laser containment door, in a laser-enabled position, may be configured to permit the laser printhead, via a light beam, to modify the label and the laser containment door, in a laserdisabled position, may be configured to prevent a light beam from escaping the laser containment housing.

A laser processing system includes: a first light irradiator including: a first light emitter to emit first laser light; and a first light scanner to scan a first region of a workpiece with the first laser light emitted from the first light emitter; a second light irradiator including: a second light emitter to emit second laser light; and a second light scanner to scan a second region different from the first region of the workpiece with the second laser light emitted from the second light emitter. The first light irradiator emits the first laser light to the first region of the workpiece in a first irradiation direction, the second light irradiator emits the second laser light to the second region of the workpiece in a second irradiation direction opposite to the first irradiation direction.

A drawing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a storage, an operation section, and a drawing section. The storage stores a characteristic function that derives output setting values of light sources on the basis of drawing coordinates, an absorbance correlation value, and gradation values in a leuco color space. The operation section derives the output setting values by inputting, to the characteristic function, the drawing coordinates, gradation values of leuco image data described in the leuco color space, and an absorbance correlation value obtained by measuring the recording medium. The drawing section includes the light sources, and controls output of the light sources on the basis of the output setting values derived by the operation section to thereby perform drawing on the recording medium.

A method and device are provided for marking electrical devices which can be arranged in a row on a support rail, with the aid of a laser head, wherein the support rail is pivotable about its longitudinal axis and the laser head is guided such that it can be moved at least along the longitudinal axis of the support rail. A number of marking instructions, each including a marking content and a position and an orientation of the surface to which the marking content is to be applied are specified. An image of at least a section of the support rail and of at least one electrical device are created from an image capture device and at least one of the positions at which one of the marking contents is to be applied is corrected based on an evaluation of the image. The marking instructions are grouped into marking levels in such a way that all marking instructions of one marking level can be applied by the laser head without a movement of the laser head or the support rail. The marking levels differ in terms of spatial coordinates and/or parameters for the laser head. A first one of the marking levels is selected, and the laser head is positioned and/or the support rail is pivoted according to the spatial coordinates of the selected marking level. Markings are applied according to the marking instructions of the selected marking level with the parameters for the laser head. A next one of the marking levels for marking is selected based on the movements of the laser head and the support rail which would be necessary to enables markings according to the next one of the marking levels to be applied.

A laser recording device of an embodiment is for a thermal recording medium in which at least one color development layer developing a color through heat and a protective layer protecting recorded information obtained through color development of the at least one color development layer are laminated, and has light transmission properties before recording. The laser recording device includes a recording head in which emitters emitting laser light from laser light sources are arranged, and a recording controller performing parallel processing of control for causing the laser light sources to emit light independently of each other and guiding the laser light from the emitters to the thermal recording medium.

A method for printing materials by: providing a receiving substrate; providing a target substrate having a photon-transparent support, a photon absorbent interlayer coated on the support, and a transfer material of a solid-phase environmental sample coated on top of the interlayer opposite to the support; and directing photon energy through the transparent support so that the photon energy strikes the interlayer is described. The environmental sample includes living organisms. A portion of the interlayer is energized by absorption of the photon energy, and the energized interlayer causes a transfer of a portion of the environmental sample including the microorganisms across a gap between the target substrate and the receiving substrate and onto the receiving substrate.

Systems and methods in which a material or materials (e.g., a viscous material) are printed or otherwise transferred onto an intermediate substrate at a printing unit(s). The intermediate substrate having an image of material printed thereon is subsequently transferred to a sample building unit, and the image of material is transferred from the intermediate substrate to a sample at the sample building unit. Optionally, the printing unit(s) includes a coating system that creates a uniform layer of the material on a donor substrate, and the material is transferred from the donor substrate onto the intermediate substrate at the printing unit(s). Each of the printing units may employ a variety of printing or other transfer technologies. The system may also include material curing, heating, sintering, ablating, material filling, imaging and cleaning units to aid in the overall process.
