Abstract: The toothbrush of the present invention comprises an elongated handle having a head attached to one end. The head has a bristle-bearing face having longitudinal perimeter portions adjacent longitudinal edges and at least two perimetric, elastomeric massaging elements alternately arranged with groups of bristle tufts along each of the longitudinal perimeter portions. The brush can comprise further massaging elements which are not located along the longitudinal perimeter portions though the use of such additional elements is preferably minimised. The perimetric massaging elements have rotational symmetry through an angle of 120 DEG  or less, preferably being circular. The cross-sectional area proportion of elastomeric massaging elements to bristles on the brush head is less than 25 %. Alternately there are four or fewer elastomeric massaging elements which are not perimetric massaging elements. A brush with both bristles and gum massaging elements arranged as set out above provides both cleaning and gum massaging benefits without creating an undesirable aesthetic impression derived from the use of rubber-like materials in the part of the brush head traditionally comprising only bristles.

Abstract: A therapeutic composition comprising an alkyl, aralkyl, alkoxyalkyl, or carboxyalkyl ester of 2-ketoalkanoic acid and a component for inducing and stabilizing the enol resonance form of the ester at physiological pH values is disclosed. The composition of the invention further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle in which the enol resonance form of the ester is stabilized at physiological pH values. Formulations containing the compositions of the invention permit the successful use of 2-ketoalkanoic acid esters, e.g., pyruvic acid esters, to treat, e.g., ischemic events, shock, organ reanimation, resuscitation and other recognized pyruvate-effective treatments. The compositions of the inventions are also useful in a process for preserving organ parts, organs or limbs removed from a living mammal and in need of preservation, e.g., for later transplantation to an organ recipient.  The figure shows the structures of the preferred 2-ketoalkanoic acid esters in the composition of the invention.

Abstract: A method for controlling an information system during the output of stored information segments via a signaling device (50a). Useful information is stored in a database (32) for being requested, from which information at least one information segment is specified as a first data segment (W1) via a first voice signal (sa(t),sa(z)) and is provided via a control output (20,40,50;50a) or is converted (50b) into a control signal for a technical device (G). The information is organized in the database such that an initially limited first information area (32a) of stored information is accessible (4,4a,4b) to said voice signal, for selecting the specified information segment therefrom. A further information area (32b,32c,32d) of said database (32) is activated (59,70,4c,4d) as a second information area, if the information segment (W1) corresponding to a first voice signal segment (s1) of said first voice signal (sa(t) is not contained in said first information area (32a). When accessing information of the database, a robust word recognition is obtained and the request is successfully processed within a short time.
