Abstract: An aspect of the invention relates to a razor cartridge comprising a housing, a bottom cover comprising multiple steps and multiple razor blade assemblies. Each razor blade assembly is arranged on a respective step of the multiple steps and comprises a blade support and a razor blade attached to the blade support. The blade support comprises a first main surface and an opposite second main surface and at least one upwardly protruding member and at least one downwardly protruding member. The at least one upwardly protruding member of at least one razor blade assembly is configured to engage a second main surface of a blade support of an adjacent razor blade assembly. The at least one downwardly protruding member of at least one razor blade assembly is configured to engage a first main surface of a blade support of an adjacent razor blade assembly.

Abstract: A shaving razor system includes a razor handle that docks with a razor cartridge. The handle is configured to dock with the razor cartridge using a single hook configured to mate with a cartridge tab. A central pushrod is mounted with a spring into the handle and is configured to exert a pushing force on the mounted cartridge. To eject the cartridge, the single hook may be pushed to pivot to the side of the cartridge tab, and thereby release the razor cartridge by ejecting it with the spring loaded pushrod.

Abstract: A method for re-coating a razor blade (30) of a razor cartridge (10) comprises removing the razor blade (30) attached to a blade support (40) from a housing (20) of the razor cartridge (10). The method also comprises inducing a relative movement between a PTFE material and an edge (32) of the razor blade (30) attached to the blade support (40) to deposit PTFE onto at least a portion of a surface of the edge (32) of the razor blade (30) to form a re-coated razor blade (30) attached to the blade support (40). The method further comprises arranging the re-coated razor blade (30) attached to the blade support (40) into a housing (20) of a razor cartridge (10). A device (100, 200) for re-coating a razor blade (30) is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed here are shaving razor systems and methods including razor cartridges with a unitary frame having a length and width, a topside and an underside, wherein the unitary frame includes angled joints or bends connecting at least three guards running lengthwise on the unitary frame, the guards separated by at least three gaps in the frame, and at least three blades, affixed to the underside of the guards of the unitary frame, wherein the at least three blades include edges, and wherein the blade edges extend into the gaps in the frame when affixed to the underside of the guards of the unitary frame.

Abstract: A method for refurbishment of razor cartridges (10) comprises determining an identity of a consumer based on a consumer identifier associated with a razor cartridge (10) comprising at least one razor blade (20, 22, 24) and received from the consumer. The at least one razor blade is cleaned and at least a portion of the at least one razor blade is re-coated. A quality of the razor cartridge (10) following cleaning and re-coating is verified prior to packaging the razor cartridge (10) for delivery to the consumer. The delivery address for the packaged razor cartridge (10) is determined based on the identity of the consumer as determined based on the consumer identifier associated with the razor cartridge (10).

Abstract: An aspect of the invention discloses a system for making lather in a cup, comprising a cup comprising an impeller and a heater in said cup and a base for said cup having a power source configured to provide power to said impeller and to said heater.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for assessing breathing disorders such as apneas and hypopneas are provided. An airflow monitoring device can be positioned in thermal communication with respiratory airflow (nasal and/or oral airflow). The airflow monitoring device can include a thermistor configured to measure heating and cooling cycles of respiratory airflow and determine respiratory airflow velocity from analysis of thermistor cooling. This velocity, alone or in combination with other physiological parameters, such as blood oxygen saturation, respiration effort, heart rate, body movement, etc. can be employed to assess sleep disorders.
