What it concerns
The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for penetrating a biological membrane. The system may comprise a laser unit configured to generate one or more laser beams. The system may comprise a set of targeting optics configured to direct the one or more laser beams to a target region of the biological membrane. The system may comprise a raster scanner operatively coupled to the laser unit and the set of targeting optics. The system may comprise a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions. The set of instructions may be configured to control at least one of the laser unit, the set of targeting optics, or the raster scanner to photodisrupt the target region of the biological membrane to a target depth while minimizing damage to one or more blood vessels in proximity to the target region.
The abstract as published by the patent office, from US2022110681A1. It describes the invention; it is not a statement of what is protected.
Protection themes
The title, abstract and classes do not place this family in a theme.
What the filing appears to be about, read by published rules from its title, abstract and classification codes (A61B18/20, A61B2017/00057, A61B2017/00128, A61B2018/00184, A61B2018/00327). The claims define what a patent protects, and they are not read here.
Why it matters
Not placed in a layer of the stack.
Why the layer matters to the field, not a judgement of this filing. A patent family shows that protection was sought. It does not show that the technology was built, is used in a product, or works in people. The whole stack

Dates as the offices published them. Office records are in the offices' own words and are a selection: refusals, lapses and withdrawals, and records that name an owner. Each concerns one member of the family, not the family as a whole, and another member in the same office may stand. Whether a patent is in force today is not assessed.
