  • Patent number: 6669122
    Abstract: Method of shaping solid, particulate materials, which comprises forming a raw slurry of the starting material, in a liquid which is a partial solvent of said material, and submitting the slurry to treatment by ultrasound generators to produce therein ultrasonic vibrations which shape and grind the starting, particulate material to produce a shaped slurry of ground and shaped particles. The shaped particles may be separated from their slurry by removing the partial solvent by decantation and/or filtration. The partial solvent may be a liquid in which the material to be shaped has a solubility comprised between 1 and 10, wherein the solubility is expressed as grams of material that are dissolved in 100 ml of the liquid at a temperature of 20° C. The partial solvent can be chosen from among acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and mixtures of said solvents with one another or other solvents and/or a minor amount of water, and may also be an organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 5165170
    Abstract: A razor having an integral hair detection means, the razor comprising a razor assembly mounted on a handle for brushing against a surface of a person's face and vibrating in response to contact with hairs thereon and a pickup coupled to the handle and responsive to vibrations produced therein for generating a corresponding signal. Electronic or acoustic audio frequency amplifying means are provided within the handle for amplifying the signal from the pickup as an audio frequency output. In use, the person shaving hears the amplified vibrations either directly via a loudspeaker or via an earpiece, so as to obtain feedback relating to the surface quality of the shave.
