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: 7702507Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Patrick Tilley

Patent number: 7667431Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Tilley, Thomas Wulff

Publication number: 20090153466Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventor: Patrick Tilley

Publication number: 20060211372Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Stephen Shellhammer, Jacob Sharony, Anthony Biuso, Sean Connolly, William Sackett, Joseph Cabana, Patrick Tilley, Robert Beach
