Abstract:
A handle for a small electric handheld appliance in which the handle comprises a motor assembly disposed in the handle. The motor assembly comprises a generally L-shaped magnetic yoke formed from two substantially perpendicular surfaces, such that the two substantially perpendicular surfaces define a concave receiving portion. The motor assembly also comprises an iron core and a coil winding disposed substantially in the concave receiving portion, such that the iron core and the coil winding are free from contact with one of the two substantially perpendicular surfaces when the motor is at rest.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to oral care devices, system and methods for advanced ionic micro-current control. In some embodiments, an oral care device is actuated upon completion of an electric circuit by a users hand and oral cavity. The electrode on an oral care implement may be configured to lose conductivity over time to indicate a replacement oral care implement is need. In some embodiments, a controller of the oral care device may detect the type of oral care implement and control the ionic micro-current accordingly. Additionally, embodiments may detect a region within the oral cavity that the oral care device is in contact with and apply the ionic micro-current accordingly. Further, in some embodiments, the health status of various regions of a user's oral cavity may be detected and monitored over time.

Abstract:
Included are embodiments of product performance and perception modeling. At least some embodiments include receiving a product geometry for a simulated toothbrush, the product geometry defining a physical product characteristic of the simulated toothbrush, receiving an environmental geometry for a simulated mouth, the environmental geometry defining a physical mouth characteristic and a perspective characteristic of the simulated mouth, and applying a simulated plaque indication layer in the simulated mouth. Similarly, some embodiments include applying a predetermined brushing stroke of the simulated toothbrush in the simulated mouth, determining sensory performance of the simulated toothbrush from the predetermined brushing stroke, and generating a scorecard indicating the sensory performance of the simulated toothbrush.
