Patent number: 8214958Abstract: A sensor-responsive toothbrush that can adjust its output or operation depending upon information received by one or more sensors incorporated in the toothbrush or as selected by a user. The information typically relates to certain conditions or the presence of particular substances or agents within or outside of the oral cavity. The sensor-responsive toothbrush also includes one or more responsive output components that provide a responsive output in response to the sensed information. A method of providing an oral care benefit, comprising steps of: activating a toothbrush comprising a sensor; detecting a sensor input with the sensor; and initiating a responsive output from the toothbrush in response to the sensor input.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Aleksey Mikhailovich Pinyayev, Eric Altman Goulbourne, Jr., Stephen Andras Kovacs, Chanchal Kumar Ghosh

Publication number: 20080253976Abstract: Disclosed are personal care compositions, including compositions for oral, throat and skin care comprising a blend of naturally occurring flavor or perfume ingredients or essential oils containing such ingredients, wherein the blend provides excellent antimicrobial activity and comprises at least two components, a first acyclic component selected from citral, neral, geranial, geraniol and nerol and a second cyclic-containing component selected from eucalyptol, carvacrol and eugenol. Preferably, the blend comprises 3, 4, 5 or more of the above components. Greater synergy in terms of antimicrobial efficacy may be obtained the more different components are blended together. The present compositions are effective in killing, suppressing the growth of and/or altering metabolism of microorganisms including those which cause undesirable oral cavity conditions including plaque, caries, calculus, gingivitis, periodontal disease and malodor.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2008Publication date: October 16, 2008Inventors: Douglas Craig Scott, Lowell Alan Sanker, Eric Altman Goulbourne

Publication number: 20050187502Abstract: Described herein are temperature-controllable devices, and methods for using them. In some variations, the devices comprise a fluid passageway region, which is configured to allow a fluid to flow therethrough, and a splint. The splint may be moldable to at least a portion of a subject's anatomy, e.g., a nose. In other variations, the devices comprise a fluid passageway region configured to allow a fluid to flow therethrough, and an absorbent pad. In some variations, the devices comprise three layers, in which two of the layers form a fluid passageway region and the third layer forms a pocket or pouch. In this way, the pouch may be configured to receive at least one splint therein, e.g., in order to provide support to an injured area such as a nose. Methods for using the devices to treat an injured area are also described. Kits are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Applicant: Aqueduct Medical, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Krempel, Eric Selvik, Eric Altman, Matt Buchter, Alfredo Del Rio, Robert Dennis, Mark Martin
