  • Patent number: 11026635
    Abstract: Comprehensive systems and methods for managing hair loss are provided which enable an individual experiencing hair loss, and/or the person consulting him or her, to manage it and to determine and efficiently plan any appropriate treatment options. Management of hair loss may comprise quantifying hair loss, determining what hair growth stimulation product or treatment to adopt and the best timing for such products and/or treatments, and allowing to track and manage any progress of the selected hair growth stimulation product or treatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 1, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignee: Restoration Robotics, Inc.
    Inventors: Gabriele Zingaretti, Miguel G. Canales, James W. McCollum

  • Patent number: 10299871
    Abstract: Automated systems and methods for removing hair from a body surface is provided. The methods and systems are semi- or fully automated. Some of the steps of the methods comprise determining a hair growth phase and selecting hair follicles for depilation based at least in part of the identified hair growth phase. The energy delivery device may be attached to the robotic arm and directed to align with the hair follicle to be depilated.

  • Publication number: 20160125132
    Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to quantifying the concentration of nucleic acids and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods for modeling data from a single quantitative amplification reaction, e.g., a PCR assay, to determine the initial concentration of a DNA target. In alternative embodiments, additional unknowns may be used, e.g., parameters for Bn, which is the concentration of probe at cycle n (and which changes in TAQMAN assays due to cleavage of the probe), EC for efficiency of probe cleavage, PDC for apparent probe dissociation constant, etc.

  • Patent number: 7922688
    Abstract: Automated systems and methods for delivery of a therapeutic or cosmetic substance into cutaneous, subcutaneous or intramuscular tissue, wherein an automated (e.g., robotic) arm is maneuvered to position a delivery device proximate a targeted location (e.g., an existing hair follicle, a location for implanting a skin filler, or a location for intradermal tattoo ink injection) on a patient's skin surface; and a substantially automated process is used to cause the delivery device to puncture the skin surface and penetrate to a desired depth into the tissue at the targeted location, and deliver the substance therein.
