Cosmetic method and apparatus for the treatment of skin tissue using two wavelengths of laser energy
Patent number: 11964164Abstract: A method of treatment of skin tissue with two laser devices of unequal wavelengths comprising the steps of: (1) activating the two laser devices simultaneously to produce two laser beams of unequal wavelength; (2) directing the two laser beams into a handpiece having a distal tip to direct the laser beams onto the skin tissue; (3) directing the two laser beams within the handpiece to an adjustable beam deflector; and, (4) the adjustable beam deflector directing the two laser beams onto the skin tissue to produce a pattern of laser spots simultaneously but separated from one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: LUMENIS BE LTD.Inventors: Jay M.

Patent number: 11037534Abstract: The present invention is directed to a capo, or a fretpad for a capo, for use with a stringed musical instrument. The fretpad is manufactured from a pliable material that mimics the compression of a human finger, and which prevents the instrument from going out of tune prematurely. The fretpad insert is radiused and configured to be insertable into a frame, which may be detachably connected to a capo body.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Inventors: Christopher Michael Bradley, Daniel William Cornish, Alan Scott Crarer

Publication number: 20200383866Abstract: An apparatus that enables most common rollers to be utilized to apply shear force to a user by placing a roller into a pair of braces which each include a base support structure which is configured to receive a roller, wherein each base support structure has a rotation prevention mechanism which may be utilized to brace the roller, so that when a user applies a lateral force to the roller, the roller does not noticeably rotate. Each brace prevents rotation in one direction, so when each brace is oriented in a different direction, the roller is thereby prevented from rotating in either direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Inventors: Alan Scott Crarer, Marcus McDonough

Patent number: 9999315Abstract: Various beverage preparation machines having a multi-chambered basket unit are shown. The basket unit can be configured to accept multiple cartridge configurations. For example, some embodiments are configured to receive a first cartridge configuration in a first chamber of the basket unit and a second configuration in a second chamber of the basket unit. In various embodiments, the basket unit can rotate to allow selective accessibility of the first and second chambers. This can facilitate loading the cartridges into the appropriate chamber, such as loading the first cartridge configuration into the first chamber and the second cartridge configuration into the second chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2016Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Starbucks CorporationInventors: Alan Scott Crarer, Adam Mekeel Mack, Matthew Thomas James, Philipe Roget Manoux, Diane Chia-Lin Lee, Martin Ruegg
