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. Vahlensieck, Patrick Reichert, David Youngquist, Christopher Michael Bradley, Jeffrey A. Tilley, Alan Scott Crarer -
Patent number: 11939159Abstract: A system for dispensing ingredients includes a cabinet and a conveyor disposed beneath the cabinet. The conveyor includes a staging region and a dispensing region in communication with an interior of the cabinet through a dispenser opening. One or more containers are removably disposed within the cabinet, and each of the one or more containers has an outlet disposed above the dispenser opening and includes an ejector operable to dispense one of the ingredients through the outlet. One or more bins are removably received within the conveyor. The bins are operable to be moved by the conveyor between a first position in the staging region and a second position in the dispensing region. Within the dispensing region, the conveyor is configured to move the bins between dispensing positions beneath respective ones of the containers.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Kent A. Deemter, R. William Kneifel, II, Eric Brasseur, Edward Gleich, Anita Klopfenstein, David Scrivano, Dana Tilley, Thomas Hennessy, Kyle M. Bey, Evan Allen, Alex Szmatula

Patent number: 11235382Abstract: A method for printing a structure, the structure including a plurality of pillars. The method for printing can include ejecting only a first drop of a print material such as a liquid metal sequentially at each of a plurality of pillar locations, then ejecting only a second drop of the print material sequentially onto the first drop at each of the plurality of print locations. Additional drops can be ejected at two or more of the pillar locations to form the plurality of pillars. Ejecting only a first drop at each pillar location allows the first drop to cure (i.e., cool or dry) before ejecting the second drop. The printer continues printing while the drops cure, thus improving processing efficiency and increasing production throughput.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignees: XEROX CORPORATION, PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: David A. Mantell, Daniel R. Cormier, Christopher T. Chungbin, Zachary S. Vader, Viktor Sukhotskiy, Scott J. Vader, David Tilley

Publication number: 20190093654Abstract: A downhole motor-pump assembly disposed within a tubular string includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor has a first rotor portion and a second rotor portion. The first rotor portion has a first geometrical shape and the second rotor portion has a second geometrical shape. The first geometrical shape differs from the second geometrical shape. The stator has a first stator section and a second stator section. The first stator section is spaced from the second stator section by a gapped region. The first rotor portion is located within the first stator section and the second rotor potion is located within the second stator section. The differing geometry causes a difference in displacement in the first and second sections per revolution of the rotor. Therefore the difference in displacement must be made up and is induced into the tool at the gap or drillings between sections, and this additional volume is effectively pumped.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Mark Krpec, David Tilley

Publication number: 20100139455Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing nanoparticles of group IV elements, particularly nanoparticles of Si, Ge and Sn, and binary and ternary alloys of these elements. The method comprises the solution-phase decomposition of one or more group IV metal precursors at elevated temperature and under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure, using a decomposition-promoting reagent. A surface-bonding agent is added to the reaction mixture to form an organic layer surrounding the nanoparticles and prevent aggregation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2007Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Richard David Tilley, Christopher William Bumby

Patent number: 6891284Abstract: A switch and method are provided for turning on and off an electrical device. The switch includes a control module, having a time module and an electrical output to which an electrical device can be connected. The time module includes a clock which is programmable to disconnect power to the electrical device at a set-off time. A light sensor is operatively associated with the control module and transmits a light signal to the control module based on light level. The control module is adapted to provide power to the electrical output when the light module indicates that the light level is below a threshold level and the time is before the set-off time thereby providing power to an electrical device connected to the electrical output.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Inventor: David A Tilley
