Developing laser processes for industrial applications is a challenging and laborious task. Conventional controllers scan systems lack the ability to predict actual path of beam on workpiece, making extensive trial-and-error testing different parameters delay settings necessary in order achieve satisfactory results. Finding balance between accuracy achieved throughput typically compromise, vari...

Efficiency Gains from Mergers by Lars-Hendrik Röller, Johan Stennek and Frank Verboven The purpose of this discussion paper is to contribute to the analysis of two questions. Should a merger control system take into account efficiency gains from horizontal mergers, and balance these gains against the anti-competitive effects of mergers? If so, how should a system be designed to account for effi...
