Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100103808Optical media manufactured with low-grade materials - This disclosure describes optical media that is compatible with conventional DVD drives. Unlike conventional DVDs, however, the described media uses a lower cost, lower quality material for one of the substrates. In particular, a so-called “dummy” substrate may comprise a non-optical grade polymeric material. In some cases, the dummy substrate may include post-consumer recycled materials, such as recycled polycarbonate. In other cases, dummy substrate may comprise a low cost non-optical grade polycarbonate, such as an industrial grade polycarbonate. In still other cases, the dummy substrate may comprise a polycarbonate blend, or other non-polycarbonate materials.04-29-2010
20100118689Thin optical data storage media with hard coat - This disclosure describes thin optical media that may be compliant with conventional DVD drives. Unlike conventional DVDs, however, the described media does not include the non-information bearing “dummy” substrate. Instead, the described media may comprise a single substrate having a thickness of approximately 0.6 millimeters. Depending on the format, reflective layers, information layers, dyes, phase change materials, or other materials may be deposited over the replicated side of the substrates. Furthermore, in accordance with this disclosure, a hard coat layer is also formed over the replicated side of the media in order to provide mechanical integrity to the media. Printable layers, printed layers, lacquer, or other materials may also be added. The elimination of the non-information bearing “dummy” substrate can reduce raw materials, thereby reducing costs and providing a more environmentally friendly optical disk. The hard coat can provide the mechanical protection to the replicated side of the 0.6 millimeter substrate.05-13-2010
20100214905Stacking techniques for thin optical data storage media - This disclosure relates to thin optical storage media that may be compliant with conventional DVD drives. Unlike conventional DVDs, however, the described media generally has a thickness profile less than 1.2 mm. The media may further include one or more protrusions protruding from a major surface of the media which define a thickness of approximately 1.2 mm within the clamping area of the media. In some embodiments, the media may further include one or more recesses recessed into a major surface within the clamping area of the media. Two or more optical storage media may be packaged by stacking the media in a configuration that defines an overall stacked thickness that is less than 1.2 mm for each individual medium in the package.08-26-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090241279METHODS OF MANUFACTURING TOOTHBRUSHES - A method is provided for manufacturing a function element carrier with function elements, for example, individual tufts made up of bristles and/or massage elements, interproximal cleaning elements, or other elements designed to be fastened to a toothbrush and also perform special functions. The function elements are equipped at their ends intended for anchoring in a toothbrush with an anchor, retainer or axle element. The method includes: (a) inserting several function elements in corresponding recesses of an injection mold, said injection mold being connected via grid or bar shaped channels formed in a die to recesses in the areas of the anchoring ends of the function elements; (b) filling the grid or bar shaped channels with liquefied plastic material and injecting said material at the anchoring ends of the function elements or embedding them therein; and (c) allowing the plastic material to cool and removing a function element carrier made up of a grid or bar shaped plastic frame and the function elements. Function element carriers and toothbrushes are also provided.10-01-2009

20090106923Brush head for toothbrush - A head for a toothbrush including a neck and, first and second sets of one or more bristles each. The first and second sets are indirectly supported by the neck and movable relative to each other such that at least one component of this relative movement causes the bristle(s) of the first set to be raised and/or lowered relative to the bristle(s) in the second set. The first and second sets of bristles both are movable relative to the neck.04-30-2009
20110010882Brush head for toothbrush - A toothbrush head includes a base portion having a first surface and a pivot portion having a first cleaning element holder having a second surface, wherein the second surface is superjacent the first surface. The pivot portion also includes a second cleaning element holder and a third cleaning element holder which extend longitudinally from the first element holder. The head includes a pivot element for pivotally coupling the base portion and the pivot portion.01-20-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100011590RAZORS AND RAZOR CARTRIDGES - Razors cartridges including a guard, a cap, and at least two blades with parallel sharpened edges located between the guard and cap are provided. A first blade defines a blade edge nearest the guard and a second blade defines a blade edge nearest the cap. The first blade has a cutter force less than the cutter force of the second blade.01-21-2010
20100011595RAZOR BLADES - A razor blade having a substrate with a cutting edge being defined by a sharpened tip. The substrate has a thickness of between about 1.3 and 1.6 micrometers measured at a distance of four micrometers from the blade tip, a thickness of between about 2.2 and 2.7 micrometers measured at a distance of eight micrometers from the blade tip, a thickness of between about 3.8 and 4.9 micrometers measured at a distance of sixteen micrometers from the blade tip, a ratio of thickness measured at four micrometers from the blade tip to the thickness measured at eight micrometers from the blade tip of at least 0.55 and a ratio of thickness measured at four micrometers from the blade tip to the thickness measured at sixteen micrometers from the blade tip of at least 0.30.01-21-2010

20110120973RAZOR BLADES AND RAZORS - Razors are described herein. In some instances the razors include a safety razor blade unit comprising a guard, a cap, and at least two blades with parallel sharpened edges located between the guard and cap. A first blade defines a blade edge nearer the guard and a second blade defines a blade edge nearer the cap. The first blade has a cutter force greater than the cutter force of the second blade. In some instances the razors provide a comfortable shave having improved closeness.05-26-2011

20080304180Bias techniques for magnetic tape media - The disclosure is directed to a method for creating a remanence magnetization on a magnetic tape medium. The magnetic tape is first substantially demagnetized, e.g., erased, by an erasure unit having multiple magnetic elements of alternating polarity. The erased magnetic tape is then passed by a bias magnet that creates a remanence magnetization on the magnetic tape. The remanence magnetized magnetic tape is then passed through a servo write head that writes servo patterns to the remanence magnetized magnetic tape. The bias magnet may be housed within the erasure unit or within a bias unit, and the distance between the bias magnet and the tape path of the magnetic tape may be adjustable to create the desired remanence magnetization on the magnetic tape. The remanence magnetization created on the magnetic tape may be greater than 20 percent to reduce defects in the servo pattern written to the magnetic tape.12-11-2008
