Laser Marking Discrete Consumable Articles

View page
US Patent:
6429889, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Jul 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/360233
Inventors:
Igor Y. Murokh - Santa Monica CA
Assignee:
Tri-Star Technologies - El Segundo CA
International Classification:
B41J 2435
US Classification:
347224, 2191216
Abstract:
A unique method of marking individual consumable articles such as tablets, pills, and the like on the fly, without the deposition of ink or other marking materials on their surfaces, without degrading the articles, and without precise positioning and holding of the articles. Titanium dioxide is provided in a visible layer of the consumable articles in an amount that is effective to provide a mark when exposed to an effective amount of ultraviolet laser energy. The energy is emitted in a predefined pattern on the surface of the articles so as to define the desired marking pattern. Marking is effectively instantaneous, thereby permitting the target articles to be marked while in motion to efficiently and inexpensively provide marking rates that are as much as twenty times more than those provided by prior art ink deposition systems. Marking can be accomplished even when the articles are encapsulated in ultraviolet transparent packaging.

Duplicate Laser Marking Discrete Consumable Articles

US Patent:
6776340, Aug 17, 2004
Filed:
Jun 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/164140
Inventors:
Igor Y. Murokh - Santa Monica CA
Alex Kerner - Pacific Palisades CA
Assignee:
Tri Star Technologies, A General Partnership - El Segundo CA
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
235454, 235380, 235381, 705 2, 705 22, 705 28
Abstract:
A unique method of simultaneously marking both packaging and prepackaged articles such as tablets, pills, medical devices, and the like on the fly, without the deposition of ink or other marking materials on their surfaces, and without degrading the prepackaged articles or breaching the packaging. The markings can serve as unique identifiers for each individual marked article (serial numbers), as product identifiers (bar codes), or as tamper protection (positioning symbols), or the like. One product can be provided with all three types of marking, if desired. A radiation sensitive marking material such as titanium dioxide, for example, can be provided in both the article and a markingly associated window of packaging material. The article and the window together provide a marked pair. The amount of titanium dioxide in each element of the marked pair is effective to provide a mark when exposed to an effective amount of ultraviolet laser energy so that both elements of the marked pair are marked with the same mark at the same time.

Laser Marking Using A Digital Micro-Mirror Device

View page
US Patent:
6836284, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
Jul 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/623693
Inventors:
Igor Murokh - Santa Monica CA
Alex Kerner - Pacific Palisades CA
Sergey Filatov - Minsk, RU
Assignee:
Tri-Star Technologies - El Segundo CA
International Classification:
B41J 247
US Classification:
347255, 347239
Abstract:
An object substrate that contains a markingly effective amount of a radiation sensitive marking material such as titanium dioxide is subjected to a patterned pulsed beam of coherent energy having a level of flux density that is at least sufficient to cause the radiation sensitive marking material to change color without degrading the object substrate. The pulsed beam of coherent energy derives its pattern from the instantaneous configuration of individual mirrors on the face of a digital mirror device (DMD) as the energy is reflected from that mirror face. The level of flux intensity at the mirror face is less than the level at which the DMD is at risk of damage or disruption. The level of flux intensity at the object substrate to be marked is sufficient to cause the titanium dioxide to change color, and substantially above the level at which the DMD is at substantial risk of damage or disruption. To accommodate these inconsistent requirements, the cross-section or footprint of a typical pulsed beam of coherent energy is expanded before and condensed after impinging on the mirror face of the DMD. Typically, pulses of coherent energy are serially generated in rapid succession, for example, by a laser, and each pulse possesses a level of flux density that is substantially above the level at which a DMD is at substantial risk of damage or disruption.

Dielectric Plasma Chamber Apparatus And Method With Exterior Electrodes

US Patent:
8430995, Apr 30, 2013
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/308495
Inventors:
Igor Murokh - Santa Monica CA, US
Assignee:
Tri-Star Technologies - El Segundo CA
International Classification:
H05H 1/24
US Classification:
204164
Abstract:
A dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator includes a dielectric chamber. The chamber contains or incorporates a solid surface that is to be treated with non-thermal plasma. The chamber can be substantially sealed and confine an atmosphere therein. An atmosphere control system is provided for controlling the atmosphere within the chamber. At least one or two electrodes are located outside of the chamber. When actuated by an appropriate source of plasma generating electrical power the electrodes cause the generation of a solid surface modifying non-thermal plasma in a plasma zone within the chamber. A transport system is provided for moving the electrode and the chamber relative to one another. A plasma zone is confined within the chamber adjacent to the electrodes, and remains substantially stationary relative to the electrodes. The chamber carries the solid surface through the plasma zone.

US Patent:
20220410310, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 25, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/849636
Inventors:
- El Segundo CA, US
Igor Murokh - Santa Monica CA, US
International Classification:
B23K 26/0622
B23K 26/06
B23K 26/18
Abstract:
Embodiments of an ultrashort pulse laser marking apparatus for forming indelible identifiers on discreet consumable articles, and corresponding methods, are disclosed. An ultrashort pulse laser transmission element of the apparatus is configured to transmit a beam of laser energy toward a marking zone to form an optically-readable indelible identifier on discrete consumable articles. The beam may have a pulse duration less than 10 picosecond, and a wavelength of less than 1.5 microns. The consumable articles may comprise a photoreactive pigment configured to undergo a color change upon exposure to the beam of laser energy, and the indelible identifier may be defined by the color change. Alternatively or in addition, the optical readability may be at least in part by way of a primary pattern reflected light intensity being distinguishable from a baseline reflected light intensity or from a secondary reflected light intensity from a viewpoint outward of the article.

System And Method For Applying Patterns On Articles And Inspection Thereof

View page
US Patent:
20220175617, Jun 9, 2022
Filed:
Mar 8, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/437392
Inventors:
- Galveston CA, US
Igor Murokh - Santa Monica CA, US
Assignee:
Tri-Star Technologies - El Segundo CA
International Classification:
A61J 3/00
A23G 3/50
B23K 26/362
B23K 26/03
Abstract:
Embodiments of a method and system for applying patterns on the surfaces of articles and inspecting the patterns are disclosed. A laser irradiation system has a laser transmission element, irradiation zone and irradiation inspection element. A set of articles is positioned within the irradiation zone and irradiated with laser energy from the transmission element during an irradiation period. The irradiation causes interactions between a beam and the article surfaces which transiently generate localized illuminations at the article surfaces during the interactions. The interactions also collectively form post-irradiation patterns in the article surfaces that persist after the interactions. An irradiation inspection image of the irradiation zone is captured during the irradiation period by the irradiation inspection element. The irradiation inspection image includes illumination patterns defined by the localized illuminations. If an illumination pattern fails to match the corresponding target pattern to which it is compared, the respective article is rejected.
