Publication number: 20140081251Abstract: A method for reducing human or animal tissue includes making a plurality of excisions to collectively form a patch of tissue to be reduced, instead of making a single large excision in the patch. Thus, scarring after healing is less noticeable. The treated regions of tissue may be arranged such that a total area of all removed tissue segments taken in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the patch changes gradually along said axis. The removed regions of tissue may be navicular in shape, and the patches may be navicular in shape in the event an elongated excision is made. The removal of tissue regions can be realized by proper treatment methods such as incisions and laser treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Inventor: Joseph Giovannoli

Patent number: 8545489Abstract: A method for reducing skin is disclosed, in which a plurality of incisions or removals are made to collectively form a patch of skin to be reduced, instead of making a single large treatment of the patch. Thus, scarring after healing is less noticeable. Preferably, the treated regions of skin are arranged such that a total area of all removed skin segments taken in a direction perpendicular to an axis of said patch changes gradually along said axis. The removed regions of skin are preferably navicular in shape, and the patches are preferably navicular in shape in the event an elongated incision is made. The removal of skin regions can be realized by proper treatment methods such as incisions and laser treatment. The mask may be attached to the patch of skin to be treated after said skin is stretched.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2006Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Inventor: Joseph Giovannoli

Publication number: 20070073327Abstract: A method for excising skin is disclosed, in which a plurality of incisions are made to collectively form a patch of skin to be reduced, instead of making a single large incision of the patch. Thus, scarring after healing is less noticeable. Preferably, the incisions are arranged such that a total area of all incised skin segments taken in a direction perpendicular to an axis of said patch changes gradually along said axis. The incisions are preferably navicular in shape, and the patch axial ends are are preferably navicular in shape in the event an elongated incision is made. A punch array is also disclosed for making the incisions simultaneously and precisely.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventor: Joseph Giovannoli

Patent number: 4282571Abstract: An electronic apparatus for measuring, computing, and displaying linear or angular displacements suited in particular to drafting applications. In display mode, the distance data is entered into the apparatus via a keypad and based on previously entered or predetermined scale or other considerations, electronically iluminated indicator markings of the apparatus indicate the beginning and end of a linear or angular segment representative of the entered data. Alternatively, in measuring mode, the illuminated indicator marking representing an index is placed at one limit of the line or angle to be measured and the other limit is indicated to the apparatus by the user such as by alignment of a slidable member with the other limit of the line or angle to be measured. The apparatus will display by LED or other suitable means, the angle or distance in numerical form represented by the displacement limits presented and based on previously entered or predetermined scale or other considerations.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1979Date of Patent: August 4, 1981Inventors: Joseph Giovannoli, Leon Charash
