Patent number: 11980520Abstract: A handle for an oral-care implement for safe and hygienic use by multiple users includes an electrical motor and a detachable head. The handle has a display for displaying instructions to control functional operation of the handle, a microcontroller for controlling the motor and the display, and at least one switch to allow a user to control the functional operation of the handle, including causing the output element to vibrate in at least one oral-hygiene mode having an oral-hygiene frequency and causing the output element to vibrate in a disinfection mode when the handle is being disinfected before or after being used for the oral-hygiene routine. The disinfection mode has a modulated frequency, different from the oral-hygiene frequency, and alternating up and down between a low modulated frequency and a high modulated frequency, wherein the high modulated frequency is at least 50 percent greater than the low modulated frequency.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Joern Utsch, Ulrich Stoerkel, Bianka Becker-Salzsaeuler, Boris Atlas, Michael Anthony Kaminski, Todd Lynn Watterson, Darcie Ann Ohlman, Andrea Schuering, Alexander Hilscher, Kervin Heinrich Kuechler, Andreas Maennchen, Erwin Paul Mark

Patent number: 11549156Abstract: An improved apparatus for producing steel, including a lower furnace, an annular, water-cooled, fireproof lined cylindrical upper furnace, on which an upwardly closing conically tapering hat having openings can be placed. The smelting assembly is configured for the operational mode without melt flow and the operational mode with melt flow. To this end, at least one opening is provided in the conical furnace cover, through which opening at least one top lance can be introduced into the upper furnace. A plurality of sidewall injectors radially rotate around the cylindrical upper furnace in such a way that in a working position, the top lance and the sidewall injectors are directed onto a smelt level of a molten mass located in the lower furnace for refining.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: SMS GROUP GMBHInventors: Peter Starke, Andreas Schüring, Thomas Henkel, Hans-Jürgen Odenthal
