| 20110105923 | COMMUNICATIONS LINK HEALTH MONITORING - A reference signal of reference pulses occurring at a uniform reference pulse rate is received. An error event signal of error event pulses occurring at a variable error event pulse rate corresponding to a rate of detected error event occurrences is received. An integrator output signal is produced from the reference signal and the error event signal. The integrator output signal has a value that approaches a first boundary threshold when the reference pulse rate exceeds the error event pulse rate and approaches a second boundary threshold when the error event pulse rate exceeds the reference pulse rate. A decision signal is set to a first value in response to a determination that the value of the received integrator output signal meets a first decision threshold and set to a second value in response to a determination that the value of the received integrator output signal meets a second decision threshold. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100141185 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING PERFORMANCE OF BATTERY-OPERATED TOOTHBRUSHES - The system periodically measures the battery voltage of the toothbrush and the current in a stator portion of the motor for the appliance. The amplitude of movement of the toothbrush workpiece is determined from the measured stator current. A circuit/control program changes the duty cycle or pulse width of the drive signal from the motor if the battery voltage drops below a first threshold value and a circuit or control program changes the drive frequency of the appliance if the amplitude of the workpiece movement falls below a first threshold value. A circuit/control program terminates the operation of the toothbrush if the voltage drops below a second threshold value or if the amplitude drops below a second threshold value, both of which are less than the respective first thresholds. | 06-10-2010 |
