    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for igniting, modulating, and sustaining a plasma for various plasma processes and treatments. Such treatments include cleaning and sterilizing parts. In some embodiments, a plasma is ignited by subjecting a gas in a multi-mode processing cavity to electromagnetic radiation having a frequency between about 1 MHz and about 333 GHz in the presence of a plasma catalyst. A part can be cleaned by, for example, inserting hydrogen into the plasma and exposing the part to the hydrogen-enriched plasma. A part can be sterilized by heating the part with the plasma.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for treating the surface of a metal body through phase transformation, ion implantation, and/or diffusion and to form new phases of metallic materials. The method and apparatus have been shown to be particularly useful to improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Generally, the method comprises irradiating a portion of the metal body (18) with a laser (12), and directing a stream of gas (22) onto the same portion of the metal body simultaneously with and preferably for a duration after the laser is turned off. Preferably, the laser (12) is a carbon dioxide laser operated in a pulsed mode to control heating of the metal (18). The gas (22) is preferably carbon dioxide to quickly cool the metal when the laser is off, and to provide carbon atoms for deposition onto the body. The entire process may be carried out in an environment at atmospheric pressure, obviating the need for a vacuum chamber or pressure controlled furnace or similar apparatus. After treatment, the hardness and corrosion resistance of at least a ferrous body are dramatically increased. Advantageously, both sides of a thin metal body, such as a metal tube, may be simultaneously treated. Further, a new, highly oxygenated, hard and extremely corrosion resistant metal phase may be created.

    Abstract: A non-contacting method of forming an alignment layer on a substrate used in liquid crystal displays which includes the steps of cleaning a substrate surface, disposing a solution having a prepolymer, such as polyamic acid or a resin and a curing agent, and solvent on the substrate surface, evaporating the solvent, and positioning an ultraviolet light source proximally near the substrate surface. A linear polarizer is positioned between the ultraviolet light source and the substrate surface. Ultraviolet light is projected through the polarizer onto the substrate surface to simultaneously molecularly align the polymer segments as the prepolymer is polymerized to form an alignment layer on the substrate. Adjusting the direction of polarization and the angle of incidence of the ultraviolet light source allows for generation of an alignment layer with a corresponding pre-tilt angle.
