Patent EP-1097655-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRADY JOAN
IPC: A46B9/04
Filed: 1996-08-09
Abstract: A toothbrush is disclosed having a handle portion and a head portion carrying
or adapted to carry a bristle configuration. The handle has an end portion, a waist, a
shoulder portion and a neck connecting the shoulder to the head. The waist is
narrower, at least in plan view, than the end portion or the shoulder, and the end
portion, preferably, is rounded. The bristle configuration is such that the teeth
engaging ends of the bristles do not lie in a plane parallel to the surface of the head of
the handle in which the bristles are embedded. In a first embodiment, the teeth
engaging ends of at least a proportion of the bristles lie in a curved line when the
toothbrush is viewed in side elevation. The curved line is provided by a mixture of
concave groups of bristles and convex groups of bristles. In a second embodiment,
the bristle configuration falls into at least two groups of bristles. The teeth engaging
ends of the bristles of the first group, and the teeth engaging ends of the bristles of
the second group, lie in curved lines when the toothbrush is viewed in side elevation.
In a third embodiment, the teeth engaging ends of the bristles form a continuous wavy
line. In a fourth embodiment, the teeth engaging ends of the bristles fall into two
groups, a rearwardly located group, the castellated group, made up of transversely
extending rows of bristles, the rows alternating in height, and a forwardly located
group having at least some bristles extending further from the surface of the
toothbrush head than any of the bristles of the castellated group.

Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a radiator (1) with a vertical, downwardly
open accommodation space (6), includes a base section (8), an upright (10),
two anchorages (15, 16), a locking device and spring means (21). The base
section (8) is fixable in a substrate (7). The upright (10) extends upwards
from the base section (8) and into the accommodation space (6). The one
anchorage (15) is supported by the upright (10) and is designed for
cooperation with a first portion of the radiator (1). The second anchorage (16)
is intended to cooperate with a second portion of the radiator (1), located
above the first portion. The second anchorage (16) has an open position and
a locking position. The locking device locks the second anchorage (16) in the
locking position and has an operating device (23) outside the
accommodation space (6). The spring means (21) imparts a pre-tensioning to
the second anchorage (16) in a direction towards the locking position.

Abstract: MOS charge pump generation and regulation method and
apparatus of the general type used in a non-volatile memory
chip for generating high voltages (∼20v). This invention
utilizes a current controlled oscillator to generate the
clock for the charge pump voltage multiplier. The oscillator
frequency is designed to compensate for process, temperature
and power supply variations. The charge pump shunt regulator
only utilizes regular low voltage NMOS and PMOS from a
standard CMOS process. A reference voltage scheme is used in
which a regular low voltage PMOS is used as a mirror diode
(reference PMOS) to precisely realize a control voltage for
the shunting NMOS without violating any breakdown mechanism,
i.e. PMOS gated diode breakdown and P+ to n-well junction
breakdown. A medium voltage level is also used to buffer the
shunting NMOS transistors from gated diode breakdown. A
native NMOS cascode current mirror is used to precisely
mirror the current to achieve minimum headroom voltage with
minimum circuit area.

Abstract: To provide a device capable of determining a delivery destination of
an event automatically without requiring choosing operation of an
operator. An event entered through an event input means 4 is given to
a delivery destination determining means 6 which in turn determines to
which of applications AP1, AP2, ..., APn the given event is to be
delivered according to the contents of the event and according to
delivery destination determining information stored in a delivery
destination determining information storing section, and delivers
accordingly. Therefore, the event is delivered to an appropriate
application even if the operator does not choose an addressed
application.

Abstract: For ink jet print head comprising a plurality of
ejection openings arranged therein for ejecting an ink,
the head carrying out printing by moving in a scanning
direction relatively to a printing medium, an ejection
failure is detected promptly and accurately and adhesion
of the ink to an ejection face on which the ejection
openings are formed is also detected, without affecting
print operation sequences. To achieve this, the following
operations are performed: While an ink jet print head
(113) is being relatively moved in said scanning direction,
a light beam (111a) is applied diagonally of an arrangement
direction of the plurality of ejection openings and in a
direction traversing a trace of the ejected ink. The ink
is ejected through the plurality of ejection openings in
accordance with predetermined data, and a manner of ink
ejection from each of the plurality of ejection openings
is detected based on how the ejected ink is blocking the
light beam. Based on the detection contents, it is also
determined whether or not the ink adheres to the ejection
face.

Abstract: A technique is described for detecting defects such as short circuits in a device
such as a discrete pixel detector used in a digital x-ray system (10). The
technique employs test circuits (122, 124, 126) associated with each row driver (46)
of the detector. The test circuits are enabled by a test enable signal (150), and the row
driver sequentially enables the rows of the detector, along with the individual test
circuits. In a test sequence, output signals from the two test circuits are
monitored to identify whether a defect, such as a short circuit, is likely to exist in the
row or row driver. The test circuitry adds only minimal area and complexity to the
row driver function, providing a high degree of test coverage at a low cost, with
minimal likelihood of test circuitry-induced failures.

natural frequency of nutation in conical mode, a natural frequency
in parallel mode and a natural frequency of procession in the conical
mode, when the rotor portion is rotated at a rated speed.

Abstract: Selective placement of polishing dummy feature patterns, rather than indiscriminate placement of polishing dummy feature patterns, is used. Both low frequency (hundreds of microns and larger) and high frequency (10 microns and less) of topography changes are examined. The polishing dummy feature patterns can be specifically tailored to a semiconductor device and polishing conditions used in forming the semiconductor device. When designing an integrated circuit, polishing effects for the active features can be predicted. After polishing dummy feature pattern(s) are placed into the layout, the planarity can be examined on a local level (a portion but not all of the device) and a more global level (all of the device, devices corresponding to a reticle field, or even an entire wafer).

Abstract: Threshold judging circuit 151 performs a threshold
judgment on a correlation value output from each of search
correlators 104-1 to 104-n. Rank determining circuit
152 ranks phases output from threshold judging circuit
151 in descending order of correlation value. Candidate
path determining circuit 153 determines a phase with a
high correlation value in the short integration as a
candidate path to assign to one of search correlators
104-1 to 104-n sequentially, and outputs a control signal
for generating an operation clock based on an assignment
result to clock generator 106. Demodulation phase
determining circuit 154 determines a candidate path with
a highest correlation value in the long integration to
be optimal for use in demodulation, and outputs a control
signal for generating an operation clock based on a
determined result to clock generator 106. It is thereby
possible to perform a cell search fast without increasing
a hardware scale.
