Title: Mechanical interdental brush integrated into an electric toothbrush
Inventor: WILKENS HARALD
IPC: A61C17/34
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: Most people do not brush their teeth thoroughly nor intensively enough on a daily basis so as to keep the set of teeth healthy; most particularly, they often fail to clean the spaces between the teeth, resulting in the development of cavities and parodontitis and, in the long term, the destruction of the teeth and periodontium, arguably also diseases of the oral mucosa. The inventive combined electric toothbrush/interdental brush makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, cleaning the interdental spaces and other problematic areas that are not accessible to toothbrushes already while normally brushing the teeth. Said effect is obtained by means of a variably designed interdental brush which extends in short intervals from the set of bristles of the electric toothbrush and penetrates in an opportunistic manner into interdental spaces and plaque niches during brushing of the teeth. An integrated damping device limits the force that is applied to the teeth and the oral mucosa such that the interdental brush is extended only when said interdental brush does not encounter any obstacles. The cleaning effect is further increased by coupling the interdental brush to the main brush, whereby the dynamics of the main brush is transmitted all the way to the interdental space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electrical engineering, in particular to a regulated transistor resonant high-frequency voltage converter with excellent efficiency, high power and low in cost, which can be used in different fields, with direct and alternating high-frequency voltage output. The regulated resonant voltage converter comprises two circuits for the simultaneous flowing of direct and indirect currents of the half-bridge transistors. A method of the resonance conversion is carried out at the expense of use of the second resonant choke that consumes power from the resonant capacitor and transmits a part of power to the rectifying load. Due to the above during all modes of operation the transistors provide for commutation at zero currents and the current amplitude does not exceed the nominal value at the expense of power interchange that particularly excludes the dynamic overloads and losses.

Abstract: Improved cambered vanes (70) of this invention are constructed for use within a vaned turbocharger and comprise an inner airfoil surface (74) oriented adjacent a turbine wheel, and an outer airfoil surface (72) oriented opposite the inner airfoil surface. The inner and outer airfoil surfaces define a vane airfoil thickness. A cambered vane leading edge or nose (76) is positioned along a first inner and outer airfoil surface junction, and a vane trailing edge (78) is positioned along a second inner and outer surface junction. The vane inner and outer airfoil surfaces (74) and (72), in conjunction with the vane leading edge (76), are specially configured to provide a vane camberline, measured between the airfoil surfaces and extending along a length of the vane, that has a gradually curved section and a substantially flat section. Vanes of this invention have characteristic camberlines that are flat for at least about the first 5 percent of the vane length, moving away from the vane leading edge (76), for reducing unwanted aerodynamic effects within the turbine housing, thereby increasing turbocharger and turbocharged engine operation.

Abstract: The present invention claims non-ozone a cluster anion apparatus, which attached to inside indoor air purifiers or air conditioners, generates anion. Electrons generally regard the interface between a metal and the gas as a barrier, and to discharge an electron beyond the barrier, energy higher than the energy confining the electron should be applied. In other words, an electric field higher than the electron-confining energy is required. In case the electric field gets higher, tunnel effect occurs, in which electrons have the property of wave and penetrate the thinned energy barrier between a metal and a dielectric(air), instead of passing over it. Tunnel effect has been generally known to happen in case the thickness of energy barrier is below about 100[Å]. On the interface between a metal and the gas, tunnel effect happens in case the charged electric field is around 107~108[V/cm¯] to generate a current of a few µA. The tunnel effect, however, may happen at a voltage as low as 2-5kV in case of a fine line section or sharp points. To be specific, the present invention consists of anion generating section that has the form of metal fiber(MF) with innumerable sharp protrusions and power supply section, and the anion generating section is composed of an alloy of eight metals of platinum, stainless steel, copper, silver, zinc, nickel, manganese and tungsten, conductive cloth with free electrons, conductive gum and semi-conductive gum twisted like a rope. The MF employed for the present invention has numerous needles on its surface. As the needles discharge electrons to the air at the energy lower than general ionization potential when the MF is charged with electric energy. In this case the ambient moisture due to attachment of moisture influences it. Electrons emitted from needles attach to neutral particles, such as oxygen and others (oxygen has very high electron affinity [-135KJ/mole], to turn them into anions. In the case, mass of anions grows larger than that of electrons and their moving speed drop not only to reduce conductance but also not to ionize other neutral particles. Accordingly, the present invention claims that it generates anion, without generating ozone (O3).
