Patent number: 11160356Abstract: A toothbrush having a cleaning column is provided. The toothbrush includes a handle portion, a neck portion, and a head portion. The cleaning column is attached to the head portion and extends away from an upper surface of the head portion. The cleaning column includes a cleaning surface for contacting a user's teeth. In one preferred embodiment, the cleaning surface can be made of foam that is formed via a reticulation process that exposes connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands each having at least one free end of the foam. The connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands of foam can facilitate the cleaning of the user's teeth, and the areas of the foam between the connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands can facilitate holding of dentifrice therein.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: HAYDEN PRODUCTS LLCInventors: Curan Mehra, Alan Trojanowski

Patent number: 10492727Abstract: A device for determining a physiological property of a body includes an insulating support having a compliant contact surface with a conductive element to contact the body. A mounting fixture disposed over a mounting surface of the support removably holds a rigid sensor spaced apart from the body and coupled to the conductive element to determine the physiological property via that element. A method for enabling a physiological parameter to be measured without direct contact between an active device and the body includes arranging a conductive element over an inner surface of an insulating circumferential band. A sensor with the active device is attached to the exterior of the band and thus coupled to the element. A system includes the sensor having a mounting connector, and sensor carriers with respective supports, mounting fixtures, and conductive elements. The sensor mounted on a carrier determines the property via the respective conductive element.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc.Inventors: Curtis Lee, Ryan Walsh, Alan Trojanowski

Patent number: 9408685Abstract: An applicator for a self-expanding intravaginal device has a barrel and a plunger that can substantially contain the self-expanding intravaginal device without significant insertion barrel distortion while maintaining comfortable applicator insertion. The barrel has an insertion end, an opposed gripper end, and a central portion therebetween, and it is arranged and configured to substantially contain the self-expanding intravaginal device. The plunger is in telescoping relation with the barrel, and it is arranged and configured to expel the self-expanding intravaginal device out of the insertion end of the barrel when the plunger is pushed into the gripper end of the barrel. A plurality of flexible petals substantially closes the insertion end of the barrel, and the central portion of the barrel has a load to 3 mm deflection of at least about 15 Newtons. Other aspects of the invention include a self-expanding intravaginal urinary incontinence system, and methods of making the applicator.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: First Quality Hygienic, Inc.Inventors: Mari Hou, Raymond J. Hull, Jr., Alan Trojanowski

Patent number: 7798669Abstract: A remotely adjustable lighting device configured to an operational mode customized for the geographic location of the device. The lighting device is powered by a battery provided with solar charging. The lighting device, under control of an integral controller, is turned off and on for an illumination period as a function of both local sunrise and sunset times determined by a combination of time and date information and GPS positioning. The luminosity of the lighting device is autonomously controlled as a function of battery charge and the determined required illumination period. The solar charging system is oriented by the controller to optimize its energy collection by periodical adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Automatic Power, Inc.Inventors: Alan Trojanowski, Gregory Lei Fan
