Creating One Language to Speak about Light- and Energy-Based Technologies for Aesthetic Procedures
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 17, 2011
?No downtime.? ?Moderate redness.? ?Minimal bruising.? When it comes to the many light- and energy-based devices used for aesthetic procedures from hair removal to body contouring, what do these claims really mean? Lacking a standard terminology that truly captures aesthetic concepts, plastic surgeons, patients, and device marketers may be talking about very different things even when using the same words to describe the outcomes of cosmetic procedures that employ energy- and light-based tools.
To promote a more fair, standardized, and impartial discourse about these devices, the Light- and Energy-Based Therapies Subcommittee of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has begun to more precisely define standard terms and develop recommendations for device manufacturers?such as the use of standardized lighting, patient positioning and labeling for before and after images?to help physicians and patients better evaluate the different technologies. This initiative is discussed in ?Back to Basics: Understanding the Terminology Associated With Light- and Energy-Based Technology,? an editorial available online ahead of print in the November 2011 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
?Our goal is to facilitate a baseline for communication about light- and energy-based technologies in the aesthetic realm,? said Michael I. Kulick, MD, Chair of the Light- and Energy-Based Therapies Subcommittee. ?We hope that manufacturers will begin to incorporate the subcommittee?s definitions and recommendations into their collateral and marketing efforts, which we believe will help facilitate acceptance of their respective devices and allow physicians to more readily understand their claims.?
The Subcommittee has developed standard definitions for some of the most common terms used in marketing light- and energy-based devices for aesthetic procedures, particularly terms used to describe the recovery process. For example, the definitions describe how to define the different degrees of swelling, bruising, and pain, from ?essentially none? to ?significant.? Other terms will be added to the list as the Subcommittee moves forward to develop a full and comprehensive nomenclature.
?It?s important that everyone clearly understands definitions when talking about the outcomes of energy- and light-based aesthetic procedures, whether you are a patient, physician or device manufacturer,? said Foad Nahai, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Aesthetic Surgery Journal. ?The burden to sort through all of the competing claims currently rests on the physicians. This initiative will help patients and physicians realistically understand the claims associated with the many different devices in this growing field, and allow plastic surgeons to make more informed decisions about incorporating new devices into their practices.?

360 Repair Red Lights with 3 Light Fix Xbox 360 Repair Guide
Article by Tony
I am writing this because I, like so many others, have had one of their best friends die on them. That’s right, I am talking about my Xbox 360 getting the red ring of death.
Not too long ago the stats came out with the Xbox 360 fail rating hovering somewhere between 50-54% depending on who you read. This is outrageous if you think about how much these things cost.
Now my first one to die did so before I was on my own and Microsoft sent me a new one. I was not so lucky on the second one. I was told that I could send it in and that they would fix it in a couple of weeks but I did not feel like paying the money they wanted (I do not remember the exact amount but it was not exactly cheap).
So I did what every real man does and take the job upon myself to make my world right. I hit the internet in search of a guide.
There are literally thousands of guides and ebooks out there that will tell you how you can repair your 360 red lights. I took advantage of the fact that most of these guides have a 60 day money back guarantee and started testing out which guide was the best.
My personal favorite was 3RedLight Fix. They were the best as far as clarity of direction and cost/ benefit ratio. There were more than just a written guide, they had videos. Together they showed me how to fix my 360 in less than an hour. For less than 30 buck you can get instant delivery of the best, in my opinion, Xbox 360 repair guide.
My second favorite is not as good as 3RedLight Fix but is still really good. James Dean 3 Red Light Fix is still a really good guide to fixing your 360 red ring of death or 3 red light. As of right now James Dean 3 Red Light Fix is the same price as 3RedLight Fix but that was not always the case. In any event both are good enough to fix your Xbox 360 but 3RedLight Fix is by far my favorite.
Trust me there are more expensive guides out there that do not work half as well as these two. Now which one is your favorite is, of course, up to you. I am just here to let you know what has worked for me because, let’s face it, 30 bucks is a hell of a lot cheaper to do a 3 red light fix or a red ring of death fix than sending it off to Microsoft. And also isn’t it work 30 bucks to fix your Xbox today instead of waiting a month on Gate’s people to fix your Xbox 360.
Just my two cents.

I am a guy who absolutely hates it when you spend money on things that breaks down the minute that the warranty expires. I have had 2 Xbox 360s get the red ring of death and now I fix them myself instead of giving Gates more money.
My PS3 Has Yellow Light On It And Won’t Turn On. How To Fix Blinking Yellow Light PS3?
Fixing the PS3
Image by Haukur H.
I bought the Playstation 3 gaming console from a local electronics store in the end of 2007. The place is called Elko.
The Blu-Ray drive suddenly stopped working when the warranty was 1 month over due. Elko told me that they could repair it for 35 thousand ISK or 280USD. I wasn’t happy with that so I ordered a replacement laser assembly from ebay, cost me 70USD.
Everything is working now.

My ps3 is blinking yellow light, what does that mean?
Recently my PS3 too suffered from this dreaded yellow light of death, I really thought PS3′s are sturdy and probably may not be susceptible to any problems like Xbox 360. I found some info on why this yellow light problem occur in a PS3 first place and would like to share that info with you.
Also, I didn’t send my PS3 to Sony as they charged me an arm and leg and asked me to wait for 6 long weeks. I was devastated until I found a very clear and straight forward guide and videos to fix this yellow light problem myself. I’m glad I found PS3lightsfix>
Coming back to what causes Yellow light in PS3, the most annoying problem to suffer is the Yellow Light on the PS3, as we’ve paid loads of money for PS3. And obviously we expect excellent quality right? Well, Sony, the manufacturer of the PS3, claims a low 1% failure rate, even though recent surveys and forums shows this yellow light problem rate to be as high as 5-10%.
The “yellow light of death” (YLOD) occurs after a major hardware failure. Many people suspect that 9/10 YLODs result from bad solder joints on the motherboard, while 1/10 result from power supply malfunction (these numbers are not proven, just speculated). So far, the leading theory in the cause the YLOD is that over time, the processor gets so hot that it causes the solder to liquefy, and eventually the solder loses its connection with the CPU / GPU on the motherboard. This explains why the YLOD is most commonly seen on the 20GB and 60GB models which use older processing technology, thus causing more heat and inefficiency. So far on this subject, Sony has refused to reveal any information regarding the causes of or solutions to the yellow light of death.
The “red light of death” occurs after a major Hard Drive failure. This is different from the YLOD, as the YLOD refers to a problem with motherboard.
So if you want to fix your PS3 all by yourself, you’ve to refer to an expert repair guide which is simple and easy to use like ps3 lights fix guide by Rob. Also keep in mind that when you send your ps3 to Sony, you’ll lose all your game data…but you can try to recover those data with the help of options shown on this DIY ps3 repair guide
