"Kinematics path method for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy" was invented by Fabio Demarco (Ecublens, Switzerland).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for compositional analysis includes providing a sample having a surface and determining with a controller a plurality of equidistant positions along an oscillatory path along the surface. The oscillatory path is sinusoid in at least one orthogonal dimension within a plane approximately parallel to the surface. The method further includes, for each equidistant position of the ...
