Abstract: A method and system for identifying an attachment of a personal care device (10). The method includes attaching an attachment (14) containing a memory (16) to a body portion (12) of a personal care device. The personal care device is powered up. Data is retrieved from the memory of the attachment. Information about the attachment attached to the personal care device is extracted from the retrieved data, the information including at least an association of the attachment to a specific user. An output characteristic of a status indicator (30) of the personal care device is associated with the ID (22) of the attachment. The status indicator is operated in accordance with the output characteristic when the attachment is coupled to the body portion of the personal device.

Abstract: A light guide member (100, 200, 300, 400) for a power device (10) includes a ring-shaped body (34) adapted to be disposed within a housing (22) of the power device (10). The ring-shaped body (34) has an outer surface (63) that is contoured to complement an inner surface (50) of the housing (22), and includes a light receiving surface (44, 46) and a light emitting surface (48). The ring-shaped body (34) further includes a light coupling portion (42) adapted to accommodate a light source (30, 32) and configured to direct light emitted by the light source (30, 32) to the light receiving surface (44, 46). Light received by the light receiving surface (44, 46) propagates through the ring-shaped body (34) via internal reflection to the light emitting surface (48) where the light is directed out of the light guide member and uniformly illuminates a portion (53) of an outer surface (52) of the housing (22) of the power device (10).

Abstract: A power device having a tubular housing (112) and a wired communication assembly for coupling a user interface assembly (118) and an internal assembly (114). The wired communication assembly includes a flexible ribbon cable (116) having a first end portion (138) configured to be coupled to the user interface assembly (118), a second end portion (142) configured to be coupled to the internal assembly (114), and a flexible middle portion (140). During insertion of the internal assembly (114) into the housing (112), the flexible ribbon cable (116) folds into a curved shape such that the flexible ribbon cable (116) nests inside the tubular housing (112) after the internal assembly (114) is completely inserted and the flexible ribbon cable (116) does not interfere with operation of the internal assembly (114).

Abstract: The invention provides a method for encouraging a user to perform an oral care routine using an oral care device for a predetermined period of time. The method includes recording a plurality of previous oral care sessions, the previous oral care sessions including at least one oral care session ending before the predetermined period of time has elapsed after the user has begun the oral care session. An oral care time characteristic is calculated based on the plurality of previous oral care sessions and, for a subsequent oral care session, a point in time after the user has begun performing an oral care routine is determined for providing the user with feedback based on the oral care time characteristic. The user is then provided with feedback at the determined point in time during the subsequent oral care session.

Abstract: An oral irrigator having an irrigator tip, the tip including a handle portion, a tip portion, a channel in fluid communication with the tether and arranged within the handle portion and the tip portion, and an actuator located on or within the handle portion, the actuator arranged to at least partially altar a flow of a fluid through the channel. The oral irrigator further includes a housing, the housing having a reservoir in fluid communication with a pump sub-assembly, a sensor arranged to measure a first pressure or first electrical load within the pump sub-assembly, and a control unit arranged to control an operational current provided to the pump sub-assembly where operation of the actuator produces a second pressure or electrical load measured by the sensor and the control unit is arranged to alter the operational current of the motor in response to the change.
