  • Patent number: 9204946
    Abstract: The spray assembly for a droplet spray teeth cleaning system includes a guidance member at the end thereof. The spray assembly includes a nozzle through which a spray of liquid is directed to the teeth for cleaning. The guidance member is configured and mounted relative to the nozzle to provide a selected standoff distance between the nozzle and the teeth and includes a portion which is configured to fit in the interproximal space between adjacent teeth and gums, or against the frontal portions of the teeth, so that the user knows the location of the spray relative to the teeth.

  • Patent number: 8529105
    Abstract: This invention relates to thermal management for removing heat generated by a heat source (110). This is done by a combination of a heat conducting member (120), which is thermally connected to the heat source in one end and to a remotely arranged heat sink (130) in the opposite end, and a synthetic jet actuator (140). The synthetic jet actuator is arranged to provide active cooling directly onto the heat source by generating and directing an air flow towards the heat source. The synthetic jet actuator comprises a resonator cavity housing (150) and an oscillating member (160). The oscillator member is arranged at least partly inside said resonator cavity. The combination of the heat conducting member and the synthetic jet actuator provides a highly efficient cooling.

  • Publication number: 20090310346
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting assembly for interior lighting. The lighting assembly (1) comprises first and second panes (10, 14) spaced apart from each other by a thermally insulating means (12). Lighting means (16) are arranged at the first pane (10) to direct light in one direction and to direct heat in a different direction, mainly in the opposite direction. The lighting assembly can be used in e.g. windows for providing interior lighting while avoiding conduction of heat via the interior face of the window.
