    摘要: The droplet spray teeth cleaning system includes in one aspect a window of temperature and volumetric flow ratio between air and gas for safe and comfortable yet effective operation, the volumetric flow ratio ranging between approximately 24 and 875 and the temperature from approximately 27° C. to a maximum of 60° C. The temperature is maintained by a flow-through heater (74) arranged around a liquid line portion (51) of the droplet spray system, preferably in a handle portion (52) of the system. Also included is a thermocouple heat sensor arrangement (78) which determines the temperature of the liquid prior to the nozzle portion and a control (76, 53) for maintaining the temperature within the temperature/flow ratio window. A filter (126) is provided, preferably in the head portion of the system, for filtering out particles from the liquid, while at the same time permitting adequate flow therethrough at least during the expected lifetime of the replaceable head portion of the system.

    摘要: The surface detection system includes a source of an optical interrogating signal (44) which accompanies a droplet spray in an oral cleaning device directed to an oral surface (46). The interrogating optical signal is reflected from the oral surface which the spray impacts and detected (48). A selected characteristic of the reflected signal, such as intensity, is indicative of the nature of the oral surface, such as either gum tissue or a tooth surface. The detected reflected signal is then processed to determine the nature of the oral reflecting surface. The processor (50) then provides a resulting output signal which can be used to either warn the user concerning the nature of the oral surface or to change the characteristics of the spray appropriately according to the surface (51).

    摘要: Interproximal cleaning is produced by a combination of fluid droplets producing a certain impact shear stress on the interproximal biofilm combined with shear stress created by the effect of air driving a liquid film (18, 20) in the interproximal surfaces. The shear stress created by the droplets decreases with the depth of the interproximal space, while the shear stress produced by the air-driven liquid film increases with interproximal depth. The combined shear is at least as great as the shear stress necessary to remove biofilm from the interproximal surfaces.

    摘要: The combination of a power toothbrush and an oral fluid, in which the oral fluid has the characteristic of changing viscosity, depending upon the action of a workpiece element portion, such as a flexible membrane, of the power toothbrush. The power toothbrush has two operating conditions. In one condition, the membrane moves toward and away from the teeth at a speed such that the fluid is liquid and flows easily to and around the teeth, including the interproximal regions. In the second condition, the membrane is moved at a significantly higher speed, in response to which the viscosity of the fluid increases substantially, having a shear rate at least as great as necessary to remove biofilm from the teeth.

    摘要: An outboard electric motor kit that includes an electric motor assembly with a unitized propeller hub, a transom mount, a rechargeable electric battery, and an optional recharger. The assembly includes an electric motor unit located in an upper housing. A lower tube stem is attached and that extends downward from the upper housing to a lower housing. Formed on the lower housing is a receiving cavity with a rearward facing propeller hub opening. A drive shaft coupled to the motor unit extends downward inside the lower tube stem and mounted to a gear support block located in the receiving cavity. Mounted on the end of the drive shaft is a main gear. Mounted on the gear support block is a fixed axle that extends coaxially aligned through the propeller hub opening. Extended through the opening and coaxially mounted over the fixed axle is a removable propeller hub assembly.
