Abstract: A manual toothbrush comprises a disposable head and a reusable handle. The head is structured and configured to be repeatedly attached to and detached from the handle. The head comprises a material having a density from about 0.5 g/cm3 to about 1.2 g/cm3, while the handle comprises a material having a density from about 2.1 g/cm3 to about 3.1 g/cm3. The handle has a proximal end and a distal end opposite to the proximal end, the proximal end being adjacent to the head when the head is attached to the handle. The handle comprises a concave portion configured to define a thumb rest adjacent to the proximal end.
Abstract: A handle. The handle can include a main body and a pivoting head having a substantially trapezoidal prism shape and pivotally coupled with the main body about a pivot axis. The pivoting head can have a first end including a first limit member and a second end including a second limit member, and each of the first and second limit members can include first and second surfaces, the first surface limiting movement of the pivoting head to a first position and the second surface limiting movement of the pivoting head to a second position. A pivot spring can interact with the main body to bias the pivoting head into the first position.

Abstract: Digital imaging systems and methods are described for analyzing pixel data of an image of a skin area of a user for determining dark eye circles. A plurality of training images of a plurality of individuals are aggregated, each of the training images comprising pixel data of a respective skin area of an individual. A dark eye circles model, trained with the pixel data, is operable to output, across a range of a dark eye circles scale, dark eye circles values associated with a degree of dark eye circles. An image of a user comprising pixel data of at least a portion of a user skin area is received and analyzed, by the dark eye circles model, to determine a user-specific dark eye circles value of the user skin area. A user-specific electronic recommendation addressing at least one feature identifiable within the pixel data is generated and rendered, on a display screen of a user computing device.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a handle, a connector, and a head by injection molding at least a part of the handle having a distal end and a proximal end comprising a hollow portion opposite the distal end. At least a part of the connector having an outer lateral surface and a recess therein by injection molding with the recess forming a cavity within the connector. A spring-loaded ball-snap element is provided that with a ball and a spring configured to apply a radial force onto the ball. The spring-loaded ball-snap element is inserted into the cavity of the connector and the spring-loaded ball-snap element is fixed therein. At least a part of the head is injection molded. The connector is inserted into the hollow portion of the handle and the connector and fixed. The ball is extended slightly beyond the connector's outer lateral surface surrounding the ball.
