Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method for blending food or beverages, preferably using a blender that is compact enough for home use, rugged enough to blend frozen beverages, simple to use and safe. The blender includes an upper housing, with a front housing door, that covers the moving blending machinery. The blender also includes a cupholder receiving area which allows the user to safely insert a frozen beverage cup inside a cupholder for blending. After the start button is pressed, a cupholder lip will be grasped by the clamping jaw of an elevator assembly to lift the cupholder up. As the cupholder is lifted upward, a cover will be pressed over the top opening of the inserted cup to prevent spillage during blending. The elevator assembly will then continue to lift the cupholder upward until the rotating cutter blades of a spindle assembly cut through successive layers of the frozen beverage.

Abstract: Apparatus, device, system, kit, and method to treat and prevent skin conditions. The device incorporates two treatment technologies: photorejuvenation and microcurrents. The photorejuvenation technology incorporates the use of light emitting diodes to treat skin blemishes. The light emitting diodes typically emit light having a wavelength of about 630 nanometers. The device also incorporates the use of low level microcurrent pulses to tighten muscles and skin. The electrodes are placed in a concentric circle pattern. The pattern allows for current to flow evenly from a cathode to anode. Each electrode includes nearly equivalent or equivalent surface areas for uniform current distribution. To prevent current from flowing, a nonconducting material is placed between the concentric circles. Current transfers from one electrode to another only when the user contacts the electrodes with their skin.

Abstract: A polymer can be prepared using a loop reactor and process including feeding a process stream through the loop reactor and maintaining the loop reactor at a steady state by controlling a flow of coolant fluid to maintain a temperature in the loop reactor at a preset point. The temperature in the loop reactor may be maintained at a preset point by using a coolant fluid flow controller and valve unit having a substantially linear response over the normal operating range of the controller and valve unit. The normal operating range of the controller and valve unit may be sufficient to provide a flow range not limiting to the throughput of the loop reactor.

Abstract: A system for producing photographic prints includes a digital camera, having a memory configured for storing images, and a stand-alone printer. The printer includes a docking port and control devices. The docking port is configured to mechanically receive the digital camera. The control devices are configured to allow selection of an image from the memory of the digital camera, and to initiate printing thereof by the printer. The system and method allow a user to deliver an image captured by the digital camera, either as a hard-copy print or as an electronic file, using controls of the printer device.
