  • Patent number: 10376039
    Abstract: A head for an oral care implement comprises a mounting surface and at least one tuft extending from the mounting surface. The tuft comprises a first group of filaments and at least a second group of filaments. The first group of filaments is surrounded by the second group of filaments. The filaments of the first group have a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the cross sectional area has a substantially circular shape with a first diameter. The filaments of the second group have a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the cross sectional area has a substantially circular shape with a second diameter. The first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. The first diameter is about 0.15 mm to about 0.16 mm, preferably about 0.152 mm (6 mil) and the second diameter is about 0.17 mm to about 0.18 mm, preferably about 0.178 mm (7 mil).

  • Publication number: 20170031000
    Abstract: A method for determining a spatial correction of a primary ultrasonic emitter (2) by evaluating the ultrasonic signal emitted by the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and received by at least three ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) calibrated in space (11) is described, wherein the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is arranged in a coplanar emitter array (5) with at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) and the nominal emission direction of the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is known relative to the coplanar emitter array (5), and wherein the ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) are positioned to receive ultrasonic signals from the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and the at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) of the emitter array (5). The description is also concerned with a respective measurement device.
