Special Events and Topical Workshops
------------------------------------
Developing Seed Capital for New Ideas
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program was
established by Congress in 1982 to increase small business
participation in federal research and development. SBIR funding
helps speed the conversion of research into commercial products.
SBIR reviews proposals from small, high-tech firms developing
innovative technologies, then provides research funding to
qualified applicants.
Eleven federal agencies participate in the program,
including the Department of Defense Ballistic Missile Defense
Organization (BMDO). SBIR representatives will be available
during exhibit hours to provide detailed information on what
technologies are eligible for research funding and how to submit
a proposal. Contact the BMDO/SBIR Outreach Coordinator in the
OE/LASE main exhibit area.
Topical Workshops
-----------------
An informal technical exchange
As part of SPIE's ongoiing effort to support the needs of applied
scientists and practicing engineers, this workshop series will

All symposium attendees are invited to participate by coming
to these workshops with a problem, solution, trick-of-the-trade,
or practical technique they have encountered or devised.
Informality is encouraged. Feel free to just stop by and listen.
Volunteer experts from each subject area will facilitate
discussion and help answer questions.

In 1994, we will offer two self-contained full-day seminars which
will be of interest to marketing executives. The annual *Laser
Marketplace Seminar* will be offered on January 26th. It will
provide a comprehensive review of the laser marketplace in 1993
and forecasts for 1994 and beyond. Industrial and medical laser
marketplaces will be examined as well. The seminar will also
provide a look at emerging applications. New this year will be
discussions of the communications and optoelectronics market, as
well as strategies for obtaining government funding. This seminar
will be ideal for laser manufacturing executives, OEMs, and
company executives who require a clear understanding of the laser
market.
On January 27th, we offer an in-depth look at the *Medical
Laser Marketplace*. This comprehensive program will be ideal for
laser manufacturers, and OEMs currently involved in or
considering entering the medical laser market. Business,
technical, and clinical issues will be discussed. A special
customer focus session will look at the needs of the end-user,
system manufacturer, and OEM
supplier.

Working Groups
--------------
SPIE working groups are global, interactive networks of
professionals and organizations working in specific technologies.
They are designed to help members expand their knowledge by
allowing them to communicate directly with others in their field
and to stay abreast of current events. Working groups will allow
you to:
* economically identify and contact hundreds of experts
throughout the world working on similar problems
* help SPIE and other sponsoring organizations shape future
conferences and publications.
Working group members receive annual membership directories,
which include member e-mail, fax, telephone, and address
information; regular communications via a special section in OE
Reports (plus periodic newsletters for specific groups); access
to SPIE's on-line services; and discounts on conferences, short
courses, and publications.
Join your colleagues at these technical meetings sponsored by
SPIE's Working Groups:

Plenary Sessions

Tuesday 25 January 5:30 to 6:30 pm
Manipulation of Cell Structure and Function with Optical Tweezers
and Optical Scissors
Michael W. Berns, Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic,
Univ. of California/Irvine
Laser microscopes have been built that include both optical
scissors and tweezers. The first manipulation using these
combined optical tools was the creation of hybrid cells through
cell fusion. In this experiment, two myeloma cells were brought
together with the infrared optical tweezers, followed by the
fusion of the two opposing cell membranes with the ultraviolet
laser scissors (366 nm). Chromosomes in living mitotic cells have
been manipulated with a similar system. Segments from the
individual chromosomes were cut with the optical scissors (532
nm) and directed into (or excluded from) specific daughter cells.
The combination of optical scissors and optical tweezers has the
potential for use in a wide variety of cytogenetic manipulations.
Wednesday 26 January 8:00 to 10:00 pm
Patents and Licensing: How do I Protect my Ideas?
Michael Moretti, Editor, Medical Laser Insight
All of the devices and procedures currently utilized in the
practice of laser medicine and surgery have been invented within
the past 20 years by pioneering physicians and equipment
designers. During this period of time, hundreds of related
patents have been issued, granting proper recognition, legal
protection, and sometimes monetary reward to the inventors.
Examples will be given of key medical laser patents on both
devices and methods, as well as some brief case studies of
successful patent holders. Also, the difference between a strong
versus weak patent will be described, along with various
licensing strategies.

Sunday 23 January 7:00 to 10:00 pm
* Role of Technology in Developing Cost-Effective High-Quality
Health Care
Panelists: Warren S. Grundfest, M.D., Cedars-Sinai Medical Ctr.,
Raymond J. Lanzafame, M.D., Rochester General Hospital/Univ. of
Rochester School of Medicine; Yona Tadir, M.D., Beckman Laser
Institute and Medical Clinic; David A. Benaron, M.D., Stanford
Univ. School of Medicine; John V. White, M.D., Temple Univ.
School of Medicine.
This forum will address the impact of technological solutions on
the cost of health care. The role of minimally invasive surgery
and percutaneous therapies will be featured. Additional topics
will include the role of government, industry, and universities
on the process of biomedical technology transfer. The process of
device development from concept through prototype construction
and clinical trials to human application will be examined. The
current costs imposed by regulations and safety concerns will be
discussed.
Attendees' participation and interaction with speakers will
be encouraged.
Monday 24 January 7:00 to 10:00 pm
* Optical Instrumentation for Medically Underserved Communities
Moderators: Ralph Nossal, National Institutes of Health; David A.
Benaron, Stanford Univ. Medical School
This forum will focus on technologies for enhancing health care
in developing countries, disaster relief areas, and underserved
communities of industrialized nations. Topics of discussion will
include inexpensive analysis of blood, saliva, and other body
fluids that requires minimal sample processing; simple
noninvasive devices based on near-IR photometry; optical
detection of pathogens and environmental toxins; instrumentation
for early diagnosis of parasitic disease; ruggedized instruments
designed for extreme or special environments; the development of
technological infrastructure for design, maintenance, and
manufacturing in development nations; and specialized
instrumentation for mobile clinics.
Attendee participation in the discussions will be
encouraged.
