Abstract:
A method of laser welding a layered product comprising two layers (44, 46) of a high absorption at the radiation wavelength, where one layer (44) is welded to a material (42) having a lower absorption and wherein a scattering layer (48) is provided between the laser welded layers (42, 44) and the other high absorption layer (48) in order to scatter any radiation penetrating the first high absorption layer (44) in order to prevent excessive heating of the other high absorption layer (46).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and dressing for detecting detachment of the dressing, which is applied to a surface of an at least partly electrically conductive object. The dressing comprises an adhesive for attaching the dressing to the electrically conductive object and at least two electrodes arranged in a distance from the electrically conductive object. A voltage is applied to the first and second electrode establishing an electrical circuit comprising a first capacitor between the first electrode and the electrically conductive object and a second capacitor between the second electrode and the electrically conductive object. Changes of the capacitance between at least one of the first and the second electrode and the electrically conductive object are detected, and an alarm is activated when the changes of the capacitance reach a predetermined value. This advantageously provides a method whereby a leak can be detected quickly.
Abstract:
A method of decreasing the penetration depth of radiation provided to an interface, such as a surface, or a predetermined volume in a polyethylene element, where the PE element has a scattering coefficient larger than one tenth of an absorption coefficient thereof so that the radiation not absorbed at the interface or in the volume but transmitted further into the PE element is at least partly reflected toward the interface/volume. The radiation intensity is higher in the volume and the absorption coefficient may be reduced while retaining the total absorption in the volume. This may be used for all known techniques where radiation is desired absorbed, such as in welding, surface preparation, polymer chemistry, the activation of photo activatable substances etc.

This advantageously provides a method whereby a leak can be detected quickly. Furthermore, this advantageously provides a leak sensor with no direct physical or mechanical contact between the electrically conductive object, e.g. the skin, and the electrodes. This provides for a dressing comprising a leak sensor without compromising the comfort of the user.
