摘要:
Methods and devices for repelling insects are disclosed. The methods and devices provide personal protection from insect bites and insect landings, particularly mosquito bites. The methods and devices employ insect repellents such as pyrethroids at low (parts per billion) levels. The methods and devices effectively minimize the number of mosquitoes landing on a subject properly using the devices.
摘要:
Field is ejected from a surface of an apparatus. The apparatus comprises a.) a power supply operating at a frequency; b.) a transducer, which upon being applied the power is made to vibrate with a first amplitude; c.) a vibrating nozzle, comprising the surface, which is acoustically coupled to the transducer, to transmit the transducer vibration to the surface with a second amplitude; and, d.) a control unit to control the power supply applied to the transducer. The fluid is delivered to the surface of the nozzle. During this time the control unit cycles the power applied to the transducer at the frequency between a low power level and a high power level. The fluid is ejected from the surface when the high power level (i.e., first power level) is applied to the transducer but not when the low power level (i.e., second power level) is applied to the transducer.
摘要:
An ultrasonic nozzle for applying a coating to an exterior surface of a substrate. The ultrasonic nozzle has an ultrasonic nozzle having an amplitude. The amplitude is greater than 120 microns.

An apparatus and method for mixing by producing shear and/or cavitation, and components for the apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a mixing and/or cavitation chamber with an element such as an orifice component that is located adjacent the entrance of the cavitation chamber. The apparatus may further include a blade, such as a knife-like blade, disposed inside the mixing and/or cavitation chamber opposite the orifice component. In one version of such an embodiment, at least some of the portions of the orifice component surrounding the orifice and/or the blade are made of a material or materials that have a Vickers hardness of greater than or equal to about 20 GPa. A process for mixing by producing shear and/or cavitation in a fluid is also contemplated herein.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of predicting and adjusting the viscosity of consumer product compositions prior to their final formulation. The prediction aides the determination of the amount of a viscosity modifier to introduce in the manufacture of the final formulation to ensure the compositions have viscosities that satisfies consumer preferences, among other things.
摘要:
Disclosed is an electrical connector having particular application in an oral care implement having a removable and/or replaceable head. In particular, an electric toothbrush having a removable brush head and/or head and neck assembly and a severable electrical connector is disclosed in which the brush head includes one or more elements requiring a source of electrical power. The severable electrical connector provides electrical communication between the brush head and a power source retained within the handle or handle portion of the toothbrush.
摘要:
A method to eject a fluid from a surface. The steps of the method are i.) vibrating a surface of a nozzle in a direction substantially normal to the surface and ii.) providing an amplitude of the vibration that is equal to or greater than about 120 microns.
