| 20090321292 | Protective container for razor - A novel razor package suitable for protectively storing a razor with a cartridge and adjoining handle is disclosed. The package includes at least one container with upper and lower portions. The upper portion includes a cartridge-receiving recess and the lower portion includes a handle-receiving recess. A cover sheet covers the container's top perimeter and is sealed to the container such that a user can peel it back to open and access the razor. With two or more containers in the razor package the cover sheets may have a sheet separability line area (e.g., perforations) between them to allow for easy peeling. Additionally, these containers may be secured together via a container separability line area, allowing a user to also pull off one container from the package at a time. The container and sheet separability line areas may be aligned and may or may not be formed at the same time. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090282628 | TOOTHBRUSHES - Toothbrush heads, e.g., for power toothbrushes, are provided. An embodiment of the toothbrush heads include a support structure, a plurality of upstanding accurate members extending upward from a surface of the support structure forming an open center area, a second cleaning element disposed within the open center area and plurality of bristle tufts extending from the support structure and at least partially surrounding at least one of the plurality of arcuate segments | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090220855 | Battery - An alkaline battery can include a housing, a cathode within the housing, an anode, a separator between the anode and the cathode, and an alkaline electrolyte contacting the anode and the cathode. The cathode defines an anode cavity and the anode is deposited within the anode cavity. The cathode has a top surface adjacent to the anode cavity. The battery can include a protective layer deposited on the top surface of the cathode and/or a gel plug deposited over the anode. The protective layer can include a PVA layer coated over the top surface of the cathode. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090191466 | Battery - A battery includes an anode having an alkali metal as the active material, a cathode having, for example, iron disulfide as the active material, and an electrolyte containing a sulfolane and 1,3-dioxolane. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090128088 | Fuel Cartridge Interconnect for Portable Fuel Cells - A hybrid power supply includes a fuel cell and an interface between the fuel cell and a fuel cartridge or external battery and a switching type DC/DC boost type converter that receives energy from the fuel cell or external battery and is arranged to deliver the energy to a rechargeable cell. The hybrid power supply also includes a fuel cell current sensor/comparator, included in a feedback control loop disposed about the DC/DC converter, which controls in part operation of the converter to provide constant current discharge on the fuel battery side of the hybrid power supply. An adapter that couples a source of AC power such as a charger to the interconnect is also disclosed. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090100680 | ELECTRIC RAZOR ASSEMBLY - A electric razor foil assembly comprises flexible outer and inner foils ( | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090070949 | Oral Care Compositions, Methods, Devices and Systems - Oral care treatments are provided, including multi-component oral care compositions and methods for delivering such compositions to the oral cavity.
