Publication number: 20140181703Abstract: A system and method for facilitating automatically adjusting a user interface display screen or portion thereof. An example method includes determining context information associated with data, wherein the data is maintained in accordance with a data model; generating a signal when the context information changes; and employing the signal to automatically configure one or more characteristics of a user interface architecture, resulting in an adjusted user interface architecture. The context information may include information specifying one or more attributes relating to the data model. Generating may further include analyzing the one or more attributes to determine a modification to be made to the user interface architecture and then rendering a user interface display screen based on a modified user interface architecture.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Blake Sullivan, Edward Farrell, Jing Wu, Venkata Guddanti, Min Lu, Hongbing Wang, Michael Elges, Michael William McGrath, Gangadhar Konduri

Patent number: 8707496Abstract: A brush section for use with an electric toothbrush includes a relatively large brush head portion having a generally rectangular shape, although oblong, elliptical and other such shapes having a length to width aspect ration greater than 1 may be employed. The brush head portion is secured to a shaft portion of the brush section that may be configured to couple to a handle section. The handle section may include an electric drive including drive shaft, and the drive shaft may couple to the brush head via a coupling member positioned within the shaft portion. The electric drive may impart a rotary, oscillating rotary-oscillating or other suitable drive motion to the drive shaft that is, in turn, imparted upon the brush head by virtue of the coupling member.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Mark Edward Farrell, Christopher Charles Blain, Phillip Maurice Braun
