  • Patent number: 11964164
    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.

  • Patent number: 8099124
    Abstract: A system and method for determining an operating mode for a mobile unit (“MU”), comprising defining a plurality of spatial regions, tracking at least one activity of the MU when the MU is oriented within the one of the plurality of spatial regions, determining an orientation of the mobile unit, and selecting the operating mode based on the at least one of the orientation and an activity of the MU when the MU is oriented within the one of the plurality of spatial regions.

  • Patent number: 7702507
    Abstract: Systems and methods that automatically register a mobile computing unit on a wireless network area, via employing a voice recognition system associated with the mobile computing unit. A handshake can occur between a mobile computing unit and a server of the network upon utterance of predetermined voice (e.g., a sequence of letters) by the user into the voice recognition component. As such, a mass deployment of mobile computing units on the network can be facilitated in a secure manner with just enough information to access the network.

  • Patent number: 7667431
    Abstract: An inductive charging system including an inductive charger having an inductive charging surface and an alignment feature depicted on a surface of the inductive charger indicating a location of the inductive charging surface. A structural feature may extend substantially perpendicular to the alignment feature and provides a guide for positioning of a portable device to facilitate inductive changing of the portable device by the inductive charging surface. The inductive charger may include a plurality of inductive chargers positioned to facilitate charging of a portable device by two or more of the plurality of the inductive chargers.

  • Publication number: 20090153466
    Abstract: Described are a method, a device, and a system for activating and deactivating a scrolling operation. The method includes receiving an input signal from an input interface on a mobile unit (“MU”), activating a scrolling operation of a display of the MU, sensing at least one of a motion and an orientation of the MU, and scrolling the display of the MU based on the one of the sensed motion and the sensed orientation of the MU. The device includes a display, an input interface for receiving an input signal, at least one sensor for sensing at least one of an orientation and a motion of the mobile computing device, and a processor receiving the input signal from the input interface, activating a scrolling operation of the display and scrolling the display of the device based on the one of the sensed motion and the sensed orientation of the device.

  • Publication number: 20090150993
    Abstract: A mobile device having a user input component receiving input from a user and a biometric sensor incorporated in the user input component collecting biometric data from the user when the user input component is receiving the input, wherein the input is non-biometric data. In addition, a system and method for receiving input from a user via a user input component of a mobile device and collecting biometric data from the user via a biometric sensor incorporated within the user input component when receiving the input from the user, wherein the input is non-biometric data.

  • Publication number: 20060211372
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for frequency coordination among two different wireless network protocols, such as the IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth protocols, operating in proximity with one another. Coordination is accomplished by the use of a first radio transceiver operating in accordance with a first communication protocol (which may be the 802.11 protocol) and using a frequency band (which may be the 2.4 GHz band), a base station connected to a wired network and operating in accordance with the first communication protocol, a second radio transceiver operating in accordance with a second communication protocol (which may be the Bluetooth protocol) and using the frequency band, and a coordinator associated with the base station for, in turn, activating the first radio transceiver, deactivating the first radio transceiver, activating the second radio transceiver, and deactivating the second radio transceiver.
